Acting like there’s only one true community and anyone else would have malicious intent. Jesus Christ man.

The old Facebook app was the first one to convince my phone listens in on my conversations. I haven’t touched anything Facebook since 2013.

I’ve been raped and it’s hard to have honest conversations now days because of this superficial escapism. It’s definitely not an easy subject to discuss but hearing people say shit like “They’ve been graped” or “r@ped” seems to cheapen the gravity of the word and the experience. It’s a word and topic that should make people uneasy and uncomfortable. On the same token people should be mature enough to see and hear these things or mature enough to leave, move on or skip it if they aren’t able to handle it.

Genius and insanity are close bedfellows.

Man. I should doom scroll reddit and Lemmy and kbin as a reaction video to this defining moment of a generation. Please like a subscribe to more filler content I didn’t actually work to create.

I’m currently overthinking the future, my identity, what I want and need going forward, what reasons to keep going forward, if this is the best I can do, why I’m afraid of most of life, and a bunch of other shit.

That’s a unix wizard beard level Dad joke

Reddit was easy and having run Slackware, anywhere you can save time so you can make more tweaks is just the name of the game.

Isn’t that kind of the point? You don’t get very far hiding in a social setting. You’re on a public website talking to other people. Your posts should be public, comments, etc. At least people should treat all websites or apps they didn’t develop personally like they’re public. I mean you don’t really have a right to privacy in public.

And I’m not trying to say this with some malicious tone or anything but it’s just my view on it.

I feel like playing No Doubt’s Don’t Speak on repeat. It is a weird collective mourning we’re going through.

I keep saying it but this is more emotional than I would have thought. It’s an end to an era. And RIF and the other apps helped us all connect, laugh, cry, vent, argue, meme and stuff together. The app devs were as much responsible for the success and entertainment of reddit as reddit itself. It’s a weird.

Ya know, I have been asking myself that for two weeks now I have learned that over time I have completely lost sight of having passions, deep interests and stuff. I guess it’s time to try to rediscover those things because it’s hard to get out of bed in the morning.

I have been full time remote since the pandemic and I know I’m in the minority when I say it’s terrible. I don’t have much social contact. I used to be able to walk over and directly talk things out with coworkers, shoot the shit, ask for a hand with stuff but it’s gone. I smoke more weed, fuck off about the same amount but it’s the lack of socialization since the pandemic that’s killing me. I don’t have much in the way of friends or family. I’m single, broke and just isolated as all hell. It’s so hard to keep track of time or the days because nothing changes. It’s hard to have a clear work/home divide when there’s nothing to really denote it. My office and my studio apartment are the same place so the only real breaks are when I go wandering around aimlessly outside.

I mean I hate my job and the work I do so that doesn’t help but I’m losing my mind over here because of the isolation.

IRC doesn’t have gif support and let’s be honest. Emojis might be an optional requirement for some people, but gifs are the foundation of communication for a lot of people these days.

Jesus Christ. You sound like one of my old in person support clients.
