Why wasn’t “not go” an option?

Can I ask why you can’t let them talk their nonsense? I know you don’t think you can change them so if you choose to hang out with them, why can’t you just let them be them? I’m not telling you that you should hang out with them, just that joining in on their discussion is a zero sum game.

I chose not to interact with family any longer and haven’t spoken to any of them in years. Not out of anger or spite but simply because none of us were getting anything positive from the relationship.

I think this is suitable here.

It wouldn’t surprise me if Twitter is pushing it due to it being proven that outrage boosts engagement. Facebook has been doing that for years.

Its not weird to you and as you said, nothing untoward is occurring so I don’t see a reason to stop. I wouldn’t share with peers though for obvious reasons. The small-minded would have a field day.

Your story basically mimics mine. Guitar and drums, always wanted to play with others but at 50 years old, I jam every day by myself at home.

Other than about 6 months in my 20s, I’ve not played music with others. I want to but I don’t interact with others and the thought of trying to is overwhelming.

I hope you overcome your aversion. The 6 months I did jam with others was magical.

It sank in 1912. Length of time is relative.

The statement is completely age dependent. Not too long ago(before the movie), it was pretty newsworthy any time the next group reported that they were trying to find it.

Schadenfreude intensifies.

No alts, just some orphaned accounts from moving to new instances.

Good for you.

Neither. Only fortune cookies can steer you along the true path.

The ol’ Battery Burner feature.

I think I would swap all usage of “Lemmy” for “Hexbear” in the OP as that instance is not an accurate representation of the whole of Lemmy. Perhaps choosing one of the general Lemmy instances would give a more accurate representation.

That’s my intention and I’ve been doing it for decades. It’s kind of president-independent action.

Who pays attention to votes?

Same thing I did last time he was president. Ignore the news and spend as much time as possible in the woods on a bicycle.

When people complain about new music not living up to old, it just means they’ve quit exploring and form their prejudices on the pop genre they hear, which has always been the lowest hanging song on the tree.

I love the Connect app(Play store link). It’s incredibly feature-rich for being so early in the game.
