I mean everyone added together, mortgage, car payment, various insurance premiums, utilities, groceries, etc
My mortgage is $1200 of that, though.

While you’re completely correct, the cost of living in America is also much higher than than the world median.
What we really should be looking at is the ratio of pay : cost of living but raw salary is just easier for the masses to see and be mad about.
As an example, 3.5k USD is about my monthly bills.
What I’m getting from reading these responses is that exercise can alleviate some of the crushing effects of depression, but because it’s difficult and time consuming, you’ll need a better reason for it than just “I’m suppose to” otherwise you’ll just be making your life harder and creating an unhealthy relationship with exercise.
Everybody has to fight through the first few months to genuinely create a good workout habit, but if you start small (such as a 20 minute walk 3-4 days a week), you’ll be able to ease into the really good stuff without so much hardship. The plan is to be working out for life, so what’s the rush?
I believe the army created negative associations in me about exercise, since they used it as punishment and I always had the anxiety of my next PT test hanging over my head. It took a few years to disentangle myself from those connections and begin working out the way I wanted to and really seeing the results I was looking for. Now, after ~5 years of very frequent exercise, I’m finally getting to the point where I feel like it’s a net positive to my mental health.
Seriously, I ordered a steam controller right before they were discontinued, and got a refund :(
That’s kinda where I was sitting when I got the dlc. I had played thousands of hours and was moving my way into factorio and satisfactory. I bought biotech bc I loved rimworld, but I’ve not even finished an entire playthrough since.
You could certainly make the argument that reddit / Lemmy and anything similar is social media, but the anonymity means you aren’t seeing or competing with people you know.
Idk, maybe I’m just coping, but I’ve never felt the need to do anything performative for the masses of internet strangers - unlike some friends of mine who studiously document anything fun we do for the ever important task of impressing people on Instagram.
Whenever the negative effects of social media come up, it tends to be about people comparing their “boring” lives with the carefully crafted veneer of other people’s lives they see on social media. That doesn’t happen (as much) when you don’t use your identity and you don’t know anybody else on the platform.
Even more so, it’s turned into a hot button topic where people will be actively pissed of at you if you try to bring it up in discussion, calling it a “dog whistle” for nazi / anti-women ideology.
I agree that live games are a problem, and helldivers 1 had an offline option, but Helldiver’s 2 being always online is better executed than any other live games I’ve seen. And, their servers have been needed up significantly since Friday.
Can somebody seriously fit that entire thing inside them? That seems like it would cause internal organ damage to genuinely fit it all in :/
“when they think you’re gross”
How can I know if someone thinks I’m gross if I haven’t spoken to them yet? I should just assume I’m gross, always?
I went on a deployment, got a nice gaming laptop for that. When I got home back to my desktop, I basically had no need for it so I hooked it up to my living room TV. At first I just played some controller friendly games on it, but now I use it as the entire media center with Stremio and qbittorrent and the likes. I use unified remote to have my phone as the remote.
I believe this meme qualifies as taking a shot back
I live in the middle of a sprawling wind farm. Every direction I turn, I can see wind turbines looking ominously over my neighbor’s houses. It’s awesome, and way more interesting than the hundreds of square miles of corn fields they otherwise occupy.
That’s funny, I saw that first comment by toiute in the wild and thought it was really strange. Lemmy seems like such a waste of time as a platform to promote scams. Very low population (relative to other social media) and a mostly tech-savvy crowd.
Good work! Glad to know
Aw nice 👍
I think the main issue with air tag stalking is somebody else slipping their own air tags into your car, purse, backpack, etc to always know where you are
Does anyone have links to their videos? News sites never actually post sources :(
I’m going to my second session in a few hours :)
After a few years in jobs where violence is expected and treated as “bad ass”, I’m finally seeing how my exposure to it has frayed my sense of self.
Wow I’ve always just thought it just backwards as a design feature. I wore a NATO / OTAN patch for a year 😂
Interesting, I’ve read / heard that cats heal themselves through purring but even that was just a guess with the next leading theory being that they’ll purr when in pain to comfort themselves.
