This meme is from 2019?! I could’ve sworn it’s been on the internet for twice that long…
I think I’ve been the same person in the ways that matter, but I do sometimes cringe about being so aggressively into politics and one of those “debate me!” atheists until sometime in my early 20s, lol
Cringing because some people out there who knew you when you were younger likely still picture you that way, instead of knowing all the ways you’ve matured and improved as a person.
TIL. I don’t know why I never questioned that or the instance name.
I like captain Picard.
Seriously don’t sweat it, and please stick around. We’re all human and sometimes put our foot in our mouth, myself included. <3
Sorry that my response was snippy. This is a pet peeve of mine from reddit, and it seems to have carried over to lemmy, where any time someone expresses some form of happiness (especially involving kids/family), someone invariably shows up in the comments to tell them that they dislike it.
This was simply a wholesome post about a guy being hugged by his wife and daughter, saying “wow, that guy must be the richest man in the world”, and your immediate response to it was “Huh, guess I’d rather be poor”.
This same caption could have been placed over a photo of a vet who loves animals, an artist who gets to paint in their dream home studio, or a nature lover looking out into a national park, and if your first thought is to comment under those telling everyone how much you dislike dogs, art, and mountains, it would also be rude.
It wouldn’t be a wholesome post without someone in the comments searching for a way to find fault. =(
In this case: literally just a cute picture about someone finding their true happiness with their loving family rather than material wealth.
Same. Life is great!
What about selective presentation of true facts?
I see that type of bias in social media circles a lot, and it also feels like people building their own “reality”. Facts that are convenient to the group’s current beliefs are loudly shared and repeated, while ones that would cause friction are barely noted, if shared at all.
Better hurry then, in case the war heats up.
So you’re looking for .8 of a person.
Possess.
No matter how you acquired it…
If you own it and aren’t licensing it through a service, then that’s the next best thing to physical.
I keep missing these. Thanks

Yeah, I’ve never had second-thoughts about walking past some dangerous-looking women or checking over my shoulder to make sure some woman isn’t following me home. This is a regular thing that women deal with, and pretending that the experiences are anywhere close to equivalent is odd.
