Gen Zers are tracking ahead of their parents’ homeownership rate: 30% of 25-year olds owned their home in 2022, higher than the 27% rate for Gen Xers when they were the same age.
Am perfectly fine cutting that behaviour out of my life and my social circle.
This sentence feels so performative and cringey, and yet it still must be said aloud because even my ex-friend to this day defends a similarly shitty guy with a well-documented pattern of abuse.

Some think it’s a radical approach, but I don’t see it that way. For all its capabilities, the Internet isn’t real and neither are the relationships we have with people on numerous sites that form its social aspect. Thus, there’s really little logic in giving people second chances, wasting time, attention and effort for them, trying to get through their attitudes and suffering to reach “real” them.
You're absolutely correct.
I think that saying that someone "failed at life" is a bit stupid because, they would do exactly what you recommend in your own comment; they would give friends & family a second chance:
Regardless of who I cut out though, there is ALWAYS room to come back if they change and grow up.
I’m still hoping my mom will before she passes… : /
Maybe you see things differently, but perhaps there is something more interesting and constructive you could say than: "You both failed at life."
Of course, arguing online is pretty fun... haha! :)
Changing the algorithm would probably be implemented as a version update which all instances would eventually need to adopt, or be left behind in features & security patches.
Allowing people to game your algorithm to keep their content higher is not a good thing. It made reddit unbearable (thankfully we have Local feed on Lemmy), twitter, etc. It is why YouTube (as far as genuinely informative videos go) is circling the drain.
Yea, I don't want to sound like I'm arguing here, but there is a generally negative vibe that is being replicated here on lemmy as it was on reddit:
Too many Elon Musk twitter posts
Too much climate change doom & gloom
Too much political doom & gloom
The toxicity is already here when you browse "All." I've just blocked most of the offending communities for a better experience. The list grows longer every day... but that's just my opinion. I think we can all agree that browsing "All" is like playing mental health on nightmare mode.
I use paper bags because it seems like the best solution currently. Recycling paper is relatively easy and something that some people do in high school or middle school. Besides recycling them they are also biodegradable, they completely break down and don’t harm the environment. You can’t recycle plastic bags due to the type of plastic it is so they are directly a waste product that’s non-biodegradable and photodegrade over 1,000 years.
Why did you choose paper bags over plastic bags? Was that decision influenced by... no... it can't be: ethics?!
Even the Lemmy software isn’t made by ethical people in my book.
"Your book" is riddled with inconsistencies and assumptions about me. Methinks you are simply here to argue.
