What has become too normalized that shouldn't be normalized to begin with? (piefed.social)
 

People just adding others in pseudo-friendships, friendships that don't really mean anything and people treating others like they're a service or speed-dial or so. I am part of the last generation of people it feels like, where, you befriended someone with intent to build a bond with them and that bond is built upon year after year. You gain memories, then when the old memories are old, you make new ones.

I've noticed an alarming amount of people who'll just add you because they only see you as someone to lean on. Not because the relationship is meaningful, but someone who is just there 'when in need' as they go off not doing anything for large portions of time. This creates an artificial, shallow and hollow experience where a lot of time, you will feel like you're the one upholding the friendship.

And that only isn't normal to me, but simply unacceptable. Then you've got people who can't even go a day without communication so now they call it 'ghosting' which is another overly spammed word that has lost meaning. I'm low maintenance, who can go periods of time without talking but at the same time, I do also want things to be meaningful. Doesn't have to be constant, just something within the year.

And I've had people in my life who simply cannot do that. I've had people who still consider friends after not talking for years and years. What do you mean you're okay with that? That's lost time! I don't enjoy having to spend however long playing catch up.

What games are you picking up March 19th? in c/games@lemmy.world

The sales have not been exciting for me for quite a long time now. Everything on my wishlist, has sat at 10% ~ 15% for years, even when the games themselves have aged to where a deep discount should've happened but didn't.

So now I just pirate whatever interests me, I have too much to play anyways.

Part of whatever plan the Republicans had in store.

This will all somehow be the next president-not-Trump's fault. Somehow.

That's probably the only real valid reason to go against it.

Not because it is unfair. But because there's no teeth to it by making it non-recurring.

Social media makes people unhappy — World Happiness Report in c/news@lemmy.world

But will anyone unhappy do anything about it? No.

Because so long as people run around wanting to feel all warm and fuzzy inside over how validated their little opinions are, they won't leave.

Do you consume media made by people you think are bad/immoral? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

I'm too tired to really spend my time being too correctional on what I should or shouldn't enjoy based on the actions some people do. It really depends. Ian Watkins is an exception, a horrible person, who made it easy for me to drop everything Lostprophets-related.

I still listen to Disturbed, because there's way too many songs I like from them. I don't have to care about David Draiman and I don't, because of what he did.

I will still enjoy Harry Potter, because I believe the universe is bigger than J.K Rowlings to where, anything she does or says will not knock down my enjoyment of that universe. I can and will ignore her existence.

What were the best thing(s) for you about moving out of your parents home? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

I pretty much call the shots in what I want to do. There's nobody coming to me to tell me I need to do things at a certain time or they'll be upset if it is not done. I run my own schedule.
