When i was 15 ish my friends and I(all guys) were on either chat roulette or omegle. We all agreed "yeah we're only on here to find girls". Then after like 100 old guys jacking off we hit the motherload a group of girls our age and they were trying to talk to us but we were so awkward we all started panicking and no one could talk. Then someone skipped them and we all pretended like we were pissed because we were just about to charm them.
Im never sending my kids to an all boys school and cursing them with 0 rizz.
My government already has my biometric data and im not shocked or upset that they do. I fully expect my government to keep a record of all its citizens.
When i travel i dont mind other countries verifying my identity and my preference is for it be digital and fast.
I dont expect my privacy to include hiding who i am from my own government and a foreign government when im traveling to their country thats absurd.
Wallet, phone, earbuds and my swipecard when im outside. Nothing interesting unfortunately.
In my bag i carry toothbrush, toothpaste, razor, shampoo and conditioner, soap because i like to freshen up and shower if ive got something important on that day. Otherwise i just roll into work like a fucking bum.
My mum would always tell me things to do about washing clothes but I've always just thrown it all in the wash and the only change ive made as I got older is to use cold instead of hot.
My cat acts like its the end of the world and my guinea pigs dont even flinch. I even vacuum inside their cage and have to stop them trying to eat the vacuum.
Its gotten significantly less optimistic and more cynical. Its in my opinion more of a reflection of the state of the world than a Lemmy specific issue but it affects Lemmy users more because this isnt a space that allows people to live in ignorant bliss.
I dont deal with that because its not a logical conclusion.
If you have no one to rely on its not that that person doesnt exist its that you havent found them and built that trust. Be discontent with loneliness and take it as a sign to go out and find social connection.
A worse scenario is to become content with loneliness
My preference is usually a big kitchen sink application. I dont care about the application size and resources as I'm not anywhere near being resource constrained yet.
Are you trying to imply that its impossible to immigrate to the US? I dont get your quip
