Thank you for providing more information and those articles.

I’ve been reading a little about this this morning and it’s kinda crazy that probably the largest humanitarian crisis on earth right now isn’t getting more mainstream media attention.

You don’t find happiness. It comes and goes. Imagine being happy all the time; it would just become normal. You need non happy times to appreciate the happy times.

As someone that is either very happy or very sad, I find happiness in my hobbies. I need my mind to be occupied to pass the time, but then there is the thought I’m just waiting to die and passing time.

Hobbies that make me happy are:

• Indoor bouldering (rock climbing) is the only thing I’ve found that lets me escape the constant train of thought and be in the moment. It’s a nerdy hobby as lots of problem solving mixed with strength training.
• Running
• Rubiks cube
• Lego
• Cross stitch
• Paint by numbers
• 3D printing
• learning
• many more but this is getting long.

As someone who is down a lot of the time and has ADHD but stopped the meds as the side affects were worse than living with ADHD; I’ve found that routine is a massive thing required to be content with life. Consistent bed time and wake time. I am not a morning person but after 18 months of waking at 07:30 or 06:00, depending on if I’m taking the train to work, that I now wake up a few minutes before my alarm quite often; I’m still tired and I hate it but it gets easier.

Spending time with other people is key too. I find if I’m down it’s usually cause I’ve been alone a lot (which I love) and that can be bad for me so I’ll go see friends even if I don’t want to just to engage.

Luckily I can spot when I’m spiralling. I have an urge to fire up Minecraft and live vicariously through Steve and shut out the world.

I don’t really know much about this, but this feels wrong.

Why punish consumers, we should be striving to make European cars cheaper not make Chinese ones more expensive.

I’m sure there are many European countries where the government funds progression in other industries.

We also let American companies take control of industries.

I’m interested in hearing more about what’s happening in Sudan and why.

I’ve been to a lot of pro Palestine marches and there is often a lot of Sudanese people there speaking about issues happening there.

Erm… normal I guess. I don’t know what it would feel like with children.

What I do know is I would be a terrible parent, I only got my shit together in my late thirties and I wouldn’t have been a good parent, so it’s good for the kids that I didn’t have any.

Thanks.

These are all example from decades ago growing up in the 90’s.

I was called gay for not liking soccer, like it’s gay to not watch men chase a ball in shorts.

I was called gay for wearing UGG boots as a dude. Like if we even want to accept gay as an insult, I would argue the person bothered by such things as what shoes one is wearing is more fitting of an insult.

Fun fact. When I had a house mate who was gay, it was very difficult not to use gay as a word for something that wasn’t fun. Like this show is gay. He didn’t mind, but still wanted to stop.

I’m not American so not sure I can vote, but I was I would absolutely be voting for the Dems, as the way it appears to me is Trump would be a lot worse for Palestinians than Harris would. This isn’t to say Harris will be good for Palestine, but if I tie you to a chair and tell you I’m either going to remove one of your eyes or both of your eyes and if you abstain I’ll take them both anyway.

I’m sure you would reluctantly choose to lose one eye and not both.

I don’t see a lesser evil here, both are going to kill my family. The lesser evil would be if one party is only going to kill half my family and yes I would vote for that party over the one that is going to kill ALL my family, after all it’s a two party system and one of them is going to win.

Good point. Although, I would question whether Lemmy is such a place as we really don’t have the numbers to warrant the effort, imo.

This kinda makes sense, I guess that means not a swing state (I’m not American).

Do you have to be in a heavy blue state to do this without fear that if enough people do this it will swing red?

Which as a non-American seems to be Harris, right?

No and No.

I am happy to let this place grow organically with no pressure. I will not and have not been back to Reddit since coming here. Frankly, I am sick of hearing about Reddit; it’s like someone constantly going on about their ex.

That’s not a good sample though. This place will shill Linux all day long and are biased in that direction.

I am contemplating the same, but the amount of time I’ll have to put into figure out if I can use my 4060TI with it, or what games I’ll be able to play etc and configure it how I want it is not a small amount of time or research.

Right. I think this is my first time hearing about this person.

Right. I think this is my first time hearing about this person.

You can read this article here which has images, I can’t see what they mean though. She looks fire!

I did try to add images directly here but I’m on a low signal area right now.

If you’re curious how to do this yourself, just type the headline into Kagi and then you’re done. I am on mobile so was lazy and screenshotted this post and then copied the text directly from the image to avoid trying, I then wrote all this so kinda defeated my not wanting to type.

The_piccard_manoeuvre is in holiday.

Where the hell do you live? I live in a pretty large city, Manchester, and I’ve never been concerned with random attacks of violence.

Pericardium.
