most proms are held in a the gym with a shitty dj and shitty catered food. but you're not gonna see that portrayed in media. parents drop them off, there are no limos.

because the rules only apply to bad people. good people don't need no rules!

ok, now we have moved to 'if you don't volunteer you are less than as a person.'

seriously, volunteering has zero to do with one's moral worth in life. tons of good people never volunteer. lots of shitheads do. volunteering isn't some inherently moral/good act. lots of people volunteer for shitty reasons and do shitty things.

the reality is that incompetent managers love to blame their employees for not doing shit they never told them to do.

That isn't true at all. Plenty of volunteers are shitty people.

A group I was recently with just had a huge scandal because someone who joined had a sexual offender records and we were working with kids... he basically fucked everyone over and the entire org had to stop operations for months until every member clear background checks.

My father was a great anti-role model.

I tried my hardest to not be like him and his shittiness.

nah bro, it's a black hole bomb that destroys the solar system.

Truth on lemmy gets downvoted. It's really that simple. Most of our Nukes are the same age as our grandparents at this point. Our ICBMs are running on 5.25" floppy disks from the 70s. All this shit is OLD and desperately needs modernization for safety and security.

But if the headline was 'USA to replace ICE nukes with EV nukes" it would be upvoted and celebrated.

Yeah, let's just let China take over the world and nuke us when we get uppity.

they are building, fewer, better bombs, to replace the old ones that qualify for AARP/social security.

bingo. they require attention and effort and you might get something out of them..

social media... is designed to require neither... just like reality tv or candy crush... which are junk.

and same with food. a good meal requires attention and effort to make... cup o noodles requires almost none, but has very little nutritional value beyond hitting your salt and fat receptors.

pretty much.

people who have it seem to be convinced everyone else has it. it's a cognitive bias. just like white folks think racism isn't real because they don't experience it.

sounds like you only focus on pop culture bullshit.

try getting into shit that isn't designed to entertain you. classics, art films, art music, etc

do women approach you or flirt with you?

are you sure?

people generally tell comforting myths and lies to themselves and collectively because the harsh reality of the situation is too terrifying to accept.

people also generally believe that 'one day i'll be rich'. even though they are 45 and working at a cashier in a gas station.

it's also easier to tell yourself comforting BS because then you don't have to take action and realize you are mostly a product of the choices you have made.

Talk to someone who has been through a divorce and had their entire life destroyed.

And get out of your own head.

what about what people say about you IRL behind your back?

big billowy clothing is in right now. it's not supposed to 'fit'.
