I’m sad I missed the days of girls wearing no bras. Must have been nice.

Not to me, it just sounds normal. The reason people feel apathy is because there is a difference between expectation and reality that is very big for them.

It’s the thought of “I need the world to be different for me to feel good” that is causing the apathy. You can change the thoughts on this and feel much, much better by being very grateful for having so much choice as a human being to find things you enjoy.

It’s always been wars, always been slavery, always been sickness.

If anything, we have it much better than before. How do you think it was growing up during the world wars?

It’s from experience. Older people know this world well. Doesn’t matter what you vote for, power stays with corporations.

Young people tend to believe you can change things by voting, which is naive and a bit cute.

I used to feel apathy until I realized there is one thing I can control - me. I can choose to do fun things, replace bad friends with new ones, learn new skills, grow as a person. I can put my phone down and read books and stop watching social media and porn. I can change who I am right now. And I will feel good from doing so.

The society will stay the same, but my perception of my life will be enjoyable, which is all I can actually do. You don’t have power over anything except yourself. Once you get that through your head, you understand how to not feel apathy anymore.

Amazing, we have so much choice now. /s

Don’t think too much, you get depressed. Do like everyone else, buy shit you don’t need and get likes on social media by bored strangers.

And watch Fight Club.

My plasma 6 desktop has absolutely stunning icons, and im like you - I like proper icons that look more interesting.

Try plasma 6, I’m sure those icon sets are also much more complete. :)

It’s simply the fact that different people have different experiences on those apps, based on what they look like. It’s not a generalization and has nothing to do with incels. It has to do with human nature.

There are in fact many people talking about how they stopped dating because of these apps. It has changed the nature of the game. It’s actually very interesting if you care to look into it.

Love seeing friendly people like this. I would replace Musk and Trump with you on the planet.

Those apps are toxic and will kill your confidence unless you are really good looking. Girls have hundreds of matches for showing up. But they are so shallow so they filter out most of the guys and most likely miss a lot of people they would really like. :)

Actually I would go as far as saying that social media has made girls think they are some kind of a super creature, deserving of thousands of guys just admiring them. Lols.

I went full Lemmy for a while but have to admit I’m reading reddit again, but without their dumb app. Just the web browser.

Looking through a few subreddit, see what’s new for five minutes. I don’t post anymore.

Total brain damage on some of the Karens.

I guess they see themselves as strong independent women. :)

Definently only old thinkpads. I had two new ones break on me so now I’m not buying them anymore. One had mouse pad just go numb, the other one had the left control key stop working. I don’t even travel with the laptops. :)

My stationary keyboard has worked for like ten years, and so has my mouse…

I agree :) And I let them make this mistake for that reason too. Just like you say, it’s best to go out there and try things and sometimes fail.

I still fail when I go my own way but I prefer it, because when I succeed, it’s also my own win!

Happens all the time yeah.

I tried to find where it was but can’t find it…

I also had bugs around window rules to be honest.

People did this to themselves.

Unless we see some kind of regulation, today’s big tech is tomorrow’s big brother.

Yeah I don’t see how anyone can not see it’s Google… Who else is even close to having all our data? All the web searches, mobile android play backend, maps, Google streetcar, etc etc… They know everything.

Good for you and have fun.
