Would work if people had savings and could use cash to shop.
In many countries they have none of this anymore. You are trouble to the government and they shut off your credit card.

No im happy and I dont need more stuff. But I know what you are saying. Many people want more things.
Sometimes its very valid. If you cant find somewhere to live to start your life, that really sucks. But if you cant buy the latest car, well, not worth being sad about.


I need 7 to 8 and I get it by going to bed at 22.00.


Well, in this society, I totally understand people needing substances to be honest.
What is there to be happy about in day to day? Maybe when you are a teenager, that girl brings you happiness. But its not a lot of happiness in the daily work routine that goes on for 50 years.
Actually you are meant to be sad so you consume stuff. That bland feeling you mention. Very good, you will buy shit to get out of it temporarily. Icecream, games, phones, movies, you name it.


This sounds like some theory you find in a school textbook that doesnt match reality…
Most people just need somewhere to live and enough food to have the basics met. We dont need to be Jeff Bezoz. But so many people dont even have the basics.
If we were a group living in the jungle, it would be like one of us owning a proper house with maids and others sleeping in tents.
That one guy would quickly be dragged out and made to sleep with the pigs because of his greedy selfish behavior, while the house would be shared by everyone else so they can also be comfortable.
That is what is fair. We know society is extreamly unfair now and it will continue to become even more so, because the power to actually do something physical about it has disappeared in this age. Before, you would have revolutions.


Yeah of course, not saying its bad. It can be very nice.


Lots of comments are being removed and people are said to be trolling on Lemmy.world and also Lemmy.ml.
I think moderators dont see the difference between actual trolling (where you try to wind up the other person, make him angry), and sticking to your unpopular opinion because you think its correct. Because it looks the same to the moderator.
So you dont see much unpopular opinions. Also the downvoting makes sure they are buried.
Grinding and no rewards. Feeling underpowered and dying all the time, unable to progress with loot alone.
Looking at you, Path of Exile.


Nice to know the world has such amazing leaders. We will be alright! /s


How did ordinary people enable it? Because I feel we have absolutely no power to affect anything.
Maybe you mean day to day actions like putting ourselves first and ignore strangers.


Maybe globalism is the wrong term, yeah.


I wonder why that is.
Maybe globalism is not so amazing for people living in a rich country. Its probably great for the government though. More tax income, more population.
In Sweden where I live, the government loves immigration for those reasons. We wont have enough old people to work and pay for pensions otherwise.
Crime has skyrocketed though. So I dont think its great for people already living here. But its about money.


But is it really ordinary humans that is the problem? At least in my life, almost all people i meet have good in them. But watching the horrors we call leaders, of both corporations and the world, is ridiculously sad.
Maybe we just need to switch our focus away from those people who are put in our face, by media and in our jobs, and focus on eachother instead.


This is me too when I think about it. Cool…
I almost never feel actually sad though. Just normal. Sad songs are just better in that mood. If im actually sad, I put on uplifting music.
Sad music is emotional and means something. Happy is kind of one dimensional and short. I dont know if people are actually happy most of their time or if its the short moments.
Let off some steam, bennet!

I liked succession and severance. The bear was just ok, I didnt think it was amazing and was surprised at the ratings. The pitt was actually boring. Killing eve was ok first season, then very boring. Barry was decent first season, then got boring.
I will try the others you mentioned. Of course we are not gonna agree but I really want to find a good tv show.
100% this. Do what you need to do.


No didnt read it…


I think the downvoting of this is showing exactly why Lemmy will fail. Why cant people have a different opinion than most? Why downvote it? You guys love your little bubbles dont you.
I want to also read opinions i dont agree with. It doesnt bother me the slightest.
Sounds like hell on earth, specially with low sleep.
Save money and go live in a cheap place on earth…
