Hi, I'm also Terencio on mastodon.social and Sergio on lemmy.world.

  • agreed. at most it belongs on !fedibridge@lemmy.dbzer0.com so we can consider how we can use it to advertise lemmy to disenchanted r$dditors.

  • Trump supporters feel insecure about the world. By bullying someone, they feel better.

    That's why they never turn against Trump when the policies inevitably backfire. It just makes them feel more insecure, and therefore even better about bullying someone. And there are plenty of us to bully.

  • How many universities will abandon free speech rights for 10% of their budget?

    All of them. Of course they'll frame it like "to enable our storied institution to continue performing our vital work, we are temporarily putting a moratorium on non-pre-approved meetings. Thank you for your understanding."

  • whatever was between Digg and usenet

    for me, it was a mix of Slashdot and a bunch of discussion boards.

  • A government’s purpose is never to generate profit. It’s to make use of the common wealth to improve the lives of its citizens.

    I bet those DOGE bros could stare at that statement for an hour and it still wouldn't make sense to them.

  • but still struggle to socialize. I often find it hard to keep conversations going, and honestly, I sometimes feel bored even when I’m talking to people.

    I suspect there's something there. It may be nothing, or it may be just a lack of maturity (nothing wrong with that, you're still young), or it may be a defense mechanism, or it may be a lack of empathy of some kind. There's a bit of a skill to really finding interest in other people. If you talk with someone long enough, you can usually find something interesting about them. But it can be a skill to build rapport and to have genuine empathy -- if you force it, you can sound "fake" or like you're interviewing them. I've had some friends who were great at this, they could hold a conversation with basically anyone, I'm not a natural but I just watched them often enough that I try to do what they did. You may want to look around for some kind of social skills training or counseling if that's available.

    I’ve also faced rejection from women about 4-5 times in a row, which I know is mostly my fault because I come off as desperate or just don’t know what I’m doing.

    There is so much benefit to having a platonic girfriend. Someone socially competent who you have zero interest in hooking up with but you're good friends with. Then you can say: I have no idea what I'm doing wrong, I went up to (whoever) and said (whatever) and I think I just came off as desperate! And then your platonic girlfriend will tell you what you're doing wrong.

  • Well there are two issues there.

    • First, where's the right place to organize? This community has decided to not focus on politics, and instead direct people to !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world and !askusa@discuss.online which is fair enough.
    • Second, what can we do that is more than just a big protest/rally? There are plenty of organizations that do important work but a lot of progress isn't big and flashy enough to make the news. The 50501 demonstrations came about in part because people felt not enough was being done and wanted something bigger and flashier, and several organizations went to the 50501 demonstrations to offer "next steps." But to answer the question "what can we do?": find an organization that does more than just demonstrate, i.e. maybe they pressure congressional reps., maybe they focus on state- or city-level policy, maybe they support legal challenges, maybe they help protect vulnerable communities, etc.
  • You forgor to remove the outliers.

  • Your post will probably get removed. You may want to go look at !Resist@fedia.io instead. There's a sticky post there with useful links too. Personally I favor https://www.mobilize.us/indivisible/ because they're organized locally and perform targeted demonstrations e.g. to get a specific congressional rep to act a certain way.

  • Yeah we're like waves in an ocean that break, recede, and are re-formed. I do kinda miss my dead family members tho.

  • Gaze not into the abyss

  • I don't know much about billionaires, so I just kind of assumed that they had kids with, like, royalty or business family heiresses or A-list actresses. Not with their employees and/or whoever is left at the cocktail party after the A-listers have gone.

  • If cats gave Nobel Prizes you'd surely get one.

  • Exactly. In the cartoon above, "pulling the trigger" would be "the most important fight".
