  • endurance exercise.

  • that entire depends on the nature of the work. not every plumber is doing back breaking work, and as you get older you'll have younger people under you to do that stuff for you.

  • the way to have a good job is to have 10 years of experience in something.

    pretty much every job is the worst when you are starting out. the issue wiht many younger people is they want a fast-track to top 10% salaries and unless you're a nepo baby or have some rare talent, that just isn't happening for the average person.

    most people don't have job security or good pay until they are in their late 30s/40s, when you have a ton of specialized knowledge and hands on experience.

  • ok. give me $5000. I want to buy this thing. I need help to buy it.

    no? wow, you're clearly an awful and mean person who has no empathy!!!

  • i spend about $50 on each of my newphews, give or take.

  • so if someone keeps banging their head into a wall, and asks me why their head hurts, should i tell them how strong and brave they are and how stupid and mean that wall is for hurting their head like that?

    also, who is it that is shouldn't be taking care of themselves? apart from children or elderly?

  • people who want to be cool and popular

  • i don't have any memes on my phone. never have, never will.

  • I dunno, i have teenage nephews.. they all play the same games, watch the same movies, and watch the same shows.

    but they are teenagers. their world horizon is very limited.

  • exploring is legitimately harder than it used to be, at least via the internet.

  • it's harder to find than it used to be due to the algorithms.

  • same thing with being exposed to the cold generally. it reduces your immune response. hence why when you are sick, staying warm is important and if you have the flu, you can develop pneumonia from cold exposure.

  • the other thing is people like go out in a group and just sit there on their phones together. it's wild.

    I get ton of feedback now that I am 'too intense' because I interact with people and ask them questions rather than just make vague comments at them. 10 years ago most people seemed to enjoy and be flattered that I asked them questions. now direct eye contact and question asking is 'scary' to people.

    I also notice a big uptick in 'experts' as in people who want to lecture me about how stupid and 'wrong' I am... often about my hobbies or job... who know absolutely nothing about my hobbies or job.

  • 80% of people use social media.

  • i do all of this. it doesn't make any difference. all it does is lead to shallow boring connections based on whining and commiserating about how life here sucks. people in the book clubs don't read the books, they also just want to whine about their lives.

    every volunteer group i join... just ends up being a group of core people who want to exclude new people for not looking/talking/thinking just like they do and jerking themselves off about how wonderful and perfect they are and then whining how they can't get new people to join them...

    I left my volunteer groups because they became so exclusivist and elitist.

  • there are have been violent male incels and female incels.

    but only one of those gets media play, due to cultural sex biases.

    just like female pedophiles get a pass and male pedophiles are witch-hunted. nobody calls for the tortue and wrap of women pedophiles, weird right?

  • people on lemmy are not normal people. they are ideological extremists for the most part.

  • you're one person. the other 99% disagree with you.

    but yeah... its' a bullshit generalization because you disagree and apparently your opinion is somehow more valid than everyone else around who is the opposite?

    how is that working out for you?

  • you sound like a fascist. should you be dead then?
