Possibly yes but that doesn’t help if one is morbidly afraid of approaching women for example.
However my point was that it’s a bit pointless to ask why would someone become something when by definition it’s involuntary. It’s like asking why would anyone be under 6ft tall.

The one I live in: Finland
The only thing I don’t like is the short summer and long winter but I try and convince myself that it’s the 4 distinctive seasons and the shitty winter that makes me truly appreciate summer. It’s also good for the human character which probably partly explains why we’ve been voted the happiest country in the world who knows how many years in a row. It may be less true now but it’s still in our genes; in the past you better be nice to your neighbour because once the winter comes and food runs out, your life may depend on them.
I bought a pick-up truck because I’ve wanted one ever since I was a kid and one day I just realized I’m an adult with money and I can buy whatever I want.
Well I started my own business a few years later so it turned out to be quite useful purchase in the end anyway

You become one by not being able to find a life partner or even a one night stand. Not something I’d really blame the individual for.
Love it when I can buy personal massage devices and heavy earth moving machinery from the same place
I would notice but what I would be even more concerned about is how they got into my house
I started my own business which involves going into people’s homes and fixing shit. I’m meeting a ton of new people nowdays, granted most of them are either elderly or single older women / moms.
Reading this message chain makes me want to buy ones.
Yeah. If it fails it’s the wood around the glued joint, not the joint iself.
Same with my early-2015 model MacBook Pro. My only Apple product. It just works, what can I say. I’m basically waiting for a reason to switch to the Framework laptop but we’ll see. I might eventually just get another MacBook. I gifted my SO a MacBook air around the same time I bought mine and she has had zero issues with that as well.
The pyramid of Khafre in Giza. It’s the one with still some of the cladding remaining on top. The second largest one of the three.
By using Lemmy we’re already filtering out certain people and opinions. I personally think that the more control we have over what we see, the better. I don’t think it’s opposing views people want to filter out. It’s the ones having those views and being dicks about it.
Unavoidably so but then again, going sideways because of a downvote is just more data on who you might want to block.
Echo chamber within echo chamber I guess.
It’s not the people whose opinions I disagree with who I usually block. It’s people making snide comments like this while fishing for upvotes. I’ll reserve my attention to the ones who have something to say rather than ones just wanting to make noise.
If this mean we’d be able to see who has up- / downvoted a comment on our own and possibly on other people’s posts then I’m all for it. This would be highly useful at filtering out the people here I want nothing to do with.
It’s been nothing but politics and memes (often about politics) since the first day I joined. I can only imagine how bad it is without my content filters considering how bad it is even with them.
I call it a “perfect moment” and I try to make a mental note when ever I experience one so that I’ll be more likely to notice the next time it happens. It’s most often in the nature for me as well.
