So weird everyone on Lemmy has a story about someone who went a little extra and people answering on Reddit say it was just another day.

Low to mid-grade prepping got me through COVID without having to buy Lysol and TP at outrageous prices for like 8 months. :)

This is my desert yo!

No regurts XD

What’s the point of people inventing all this cool stuff if nobody else sits down to enjoy the improvements though? Think of all the people who are actively RUINING the world right now. As long as you’re not one of them, its all good.

My one friend, Rob Antecki, was a scientist and musician on the verge of working towards a treatment to prolong the human life-span, maybe even eventually ending the aging process. He worked his life whole towards that goal! Then one day in his late 40’s, he was coming home from the fundraiser for his new biotech startup and whammo, hit another car, died on the spot. He never achieved his goal of ending aging or got his music app company going. His business partners will be lucky if they can even salvage his work because its so high level few people on the planet can understand it.

There’s like 10 billion people in the world. If you try to measure yourself against everyone else, well, that’s your choice, but there’s always a bigger fish. There’s also some people who begin the race farther ahead with more money, more connections, family of legacy, etc. Success is not the measure of a soul’s worth or a life’s pursuit. To better oneself though, it is a noble goal. That is not connected to changing the world, only changing yourself.

I have noticed a lot more downvoting going on and snarkier comments than usual.

“And so does the constitutional document of Taiwan, Republic of China – it ALSO specifies that the two entities are a single, indivisible country”

So basically China is West Taiwan because the last ELECTED government resides in Taiwan. ;-)

By asking “why”, you have proven the basis of my assumption.

But they have less nerves and brains so shouldn’t they be a lot LESS aware? Aren’t there more nerves in my finger than most bugs?

I think it would be better to have like a currency system where posts that are kept alive the longest trigger points, not just how many people upvote them. But then, you should be able to use those points to do something instead of hoarding them like a dragon’s treasure or maybe turn them in to awards. If OTHER people give you awards, that’s what you should have on display, not just how many upvotes you had. This would also give you more points for helping smaller communities create meaningful content instead of what’s popular.
