  • All other social media sucked and were bad. Reddit wasn’t that bad and I had my subs that where fun. Then reddit blew up and so many people started flooding with their agenda. Specially once Elmo bought out twitter. So called “twitter refugees” came over and turned it into twitter wanna be. This got bot farms active and now every second post if not every big post you see is just a bot post with a very clear agenda. And now you can’t even look at their profile histories anymore.

    When I heard of Lemmy I was, hmm ok maybe it’s good. And to be honest, it feels like old school reddit, which is awesome. Yes, you get less interactions, but they are more meaningfull than the ones on reddit.




  • For me it did not change how people treat me, but how I treat myself. This than reflected how I interact with people and made them treat me better in return.

    After going from ~145kg (320lbs)to ~82kg(181lbs) my confidence skyrocketed and I got very possitive and in the mindset of everything is possible if ypu work hard enough.

    This mindset did not leave me even when I when back to ~118kg (260lbs) and I was still as popular as I was when I was ~ 82kg (181lbs).

    After 1 year with ~118kg tho, the confidence started to waver as I did struggle to get back down and was mentaly in a break point anyways because, you can’t outrun the trauma and I had to address my eating dissorder (binge-eating) and undiagnosed neurodiversity.

    Now with therapy I’m back back to ~98kg(216lbs) and I started loving and accepting myself again, I often get compliments from people saying, I look great and happy compared to one or two years ago. Not just from the weight but also the aura around me is quite more possitive.


  • Spaghetti-ohs twitting: Take a moment to think of pearl harbor with their O-shaped mascot holding an american flag. I’m not american, neither have I ever tried Spaghetti-ohs until today I say Oh-oh-Spaghetti-ohs when something bad is gonna happen as it was one of the first interenet controversies I was interrsted enough to follow.

    Also a newer one: Heidi Klum and her daughter & Mom all lingerie commercial for intimissimi. It kinda missed the mark beucause all 3 tried to look very seductive, but how it was shot it make it look very homoerotical, which is wierd because you got a grandma, a mum and a daughter trying to seduce each other…




  • First of all you are not dumb, just because you are bad in school. School often sucks for people as it’s way too standardized and cannot take into account the needs of all students. The fact that you are thinking that hard about it shows that you are quite a smart person. Also language barrier often makes things more complecated.

    Now a question you have to ask yourself, do you really like going to collage that much? Or are you there because of social preasure and the fear of not making it in life if you don’t get a collage?

    Once you can honestly answer that question ask you this: is there focational programs in the country you are at? If so, what trades can you see yourself working at? Are there trade schools on that specific field, to keep climbing the leader? How difficult is it to start your own business once you are experienced in that trade?

    If you are unsure about all these question, maybe look for a career counselor, so they can help you find something you can do.

    In anycase, good luck and stay strong and remeber you are so much more worth than just a career choice.



  • “Older” weeb here: I don’t care about subs vs dubs anymore. I used to be a sub or die guy. But now I like dubs more since I can watch anime while in the gym or doing chores or after a long day of work, I can just chill watching a show without bothering with reading. If I want to read, I read a book and not watching a show. Also once I’ve gotten used to the dubs I started to enjoying them way more than the japanese ones and I often cringe listening to japanese voice when watching.

    This made me realize it never was about the quality of subs or dubs, but just about watching enjoyment and mood and neither is right or wrong.





  • Oohhhhh shit, I worded that one horribly… my add brain fucked it up and it came out so worng… I first wanted We all dream of having healthy kids but what if they are not (thinking of cancers or other medical diseases) and than a second bullet point as in, what if your kid is not neurotypical or non cis (queer) are you able to deal with everything that comes with? (Thinking of how bad society has turned against them in the past few years with the rise of the far right and how dificult it is tobstand up for peoples rights).

    I truly have nothing against neurospicy and queer people. I know the way I worded it was terrible, and should I have offended anyone, I’m terribly sorry. Also thank you for pointing it out!.



  • Have you seen how the world is doing?

    Here are my reasons:

    • We are already starting to feel the effects of global warming, it will only get worse and people don’t take it serious. Why should Ibput another soul into this world just to suffer from the stupidity of others?
    • Child care is super expensive and quality isn’t great and being a stay at home parent isn’t really an option if you want too keep up in the work market place.
    • Why should I have a kid, if I’m not gonna spend time with them? I mean to feed them & offer them all the anemities, me and my partner would need to work full-time, so when are we gonna spend time with our kid?
    • edit see bellow why.
    • I like my freedoms.
    • The schooling system is shit. Why should I raise kids in a society that starts the “grind” at age 5 and keeps you going until you are 65?
    • etc.


  • As you said yourself: CHF is not really viable to counterfait, as it super secure. They have dozens of security features + they change all 12-15 years (new ones will be coming 2031, current ones are valid since 2016). Which means you’ll have to try ho keep up with whatever the SNB is cooking with their security standard. As far as I know the USD stays the samenover the years.

    Also to carry around CHF 1000 and not be suspiscious you’d have to be in Switzerland everywhere else and they’ll be checking that money to allnof the security features. Even in Switzerland they check if you pay with it. While USD 100 is super unsuspicious.

    You also mentioned CHF is the save haeven currency. Meaning people exchange their money to CHF to save these CHF. They don’t buy the CHF to spend it. They buy it to keep in in their saves. So why would anyone counterfit money people don’t use? Meanwhile the USD, is the trade currency. Meaning people buy the USD to spend it, so it’s easier to use that money.

    When counterfitting the money the most important part is the washingbof the money => making the fake money to real money. When are you really going to pay something with CHF 1000? At most you go to a bank and deposit it. Meanwhile with USD100 you can use it and exchange it for real money anytime. No one would care.
