With the PS5 getting older, I think it's 6 years old now which is hard to believe and people anticipating the PS6. I'm not really surprised that deals are coming up like that. I think someone on the FB Marketplace wanted some $150 for a PS5.

 

When I figured out that a lot of people are going to spend their better years, wasting away, working jobs they hate every 40 hours of the week and 8 hours a day or longer. That is unless they either have been born with that silver spoon in their mouth or had at least been born with the tools of ambition to develop careers out of it that isn't just slaving away, making people who're not them, richer.

Spares me from reading the article. It tires me when authors have to go the doomer-route and saying things are dying because they themselves, probably haven't touched fighting games in a while. And just because they haven't, then it must be a dying trend.

Furniture rental services are the devil's work, it really is.

Semi-related, my family had rented furniture before. We had rented like this bedroom set and a wardrobe. It's ludicrous to be into doing that. That's why I thrift for furniture. Will I ever come across a PS5 thrifting? Probably never, not unless it's just the shell of the console itself but even then someone will take it.

I'm already tired of hearing about this.

Ted Cruz being the Zodiac Killer. Politicians don't need to be serial killers, they do a lot more everlasting damage on everyone they're governing.

 

So far, I am enjoying PieFed.social and there are features on it I wish I had before. Originally, I joined KBin.social but KBin ended up being abandoned because the owner had health issues. So I moved to both MBin and Lemmy. Things were going good for a while, but, sometimes I would unintentionally attract the ire of antagonizing users from certain instances. This is not my first account in the fediverse, this is probably my 8th or 9th go at this.

I would last about 1 - 2 months at most before I ended up deleting the account because of the toxicity I was facing from a handful of users. I would get tired of having to individually block them whenever they came up, because they were usually from about a couple of instances that just seemed to have the most toxic users from. Least from experience.

PieFed at least gives me the ability to block entire instances, which is crazy to me. I don't mean to say that everyone is a bad apple from X instance, I'm not going to talk of what they are. It's just, there were enough bad apples to where I warranted myself in blocking that instance because they've given me the most trouble and ruined my experiences numerous times in having a nice, engaging and healthy time on the fediverse.

They already are. It's called - sales.

The problem are people going out in droves, willingly spending $70 or more on special editions. They've caved to FOMO and it is a them problem.

We're still in the best age of gaming where there are sales in all directions.

 

I would want cremation. Cremation and a simple marker. I wouldn't be buried at all at my marker, because I would actually want my ashes spread in two separate places. One is somewhere in my hometown and the other spot, probably around the recreational area of my middle school, where I had commonly found peace at.

My marker would have a Red Sox emblem, signifying fan for life to that team. The other symbol would probably be a resemblance of rebirth/reincarnation as a reflection of my beliefs, so presumably a phoenix would go there. Not entirely sure what exactly I'd want written on the marker. Debating on a personal quote or just say "Logged off for the last time" which references from all of the time I've spent being online.

 

You will need two things.

  1. Google Voice Number (yes I know, Google)

  2. Wi-Fi calling

If your phone plan expires for whatever reason and you think you can't reach your voicemail again to see if anything was missed. You can call the voicemail itself by jotting down the number of which you call your voicemail by and input your password to that voicemail through Google Voice. I just discovered this yesterday when I couldn't use my phone because my minutes were up.

To try and control impulse shopping, I immediately grab an item I think I want.

I will continue shopping for things I actually want/need, until I look at or feel for the thing I originally grabbed. I will lose sense of interest of grabbing it and put it back.

It takes practice and time. Especially works if you know, are low on money anyways. The idea of this is, to get you thinking about what it is about that thing that made you want it and whether it would have any use or make you happy having it.

If it doesn't after the time you've been having it around, be it holding it or in the cart, then it wasn't meant to be. It was simply an impulse.

While I have a very jaded relationship now with their music, Disturbed's What Are You Waiting For.

Dee Snider's Stand

Realize and understand that you are one person. You can handle only so much on your own.

This will all take a great collaborative effort on the shoulders of the many. So, you focus on you, until everyone is collectively together enough to do the right things necessary.

Capitalism.

[–] Ryoae@piefed.social 6 points 2 days ago

It's easily disprovable, but even in the face of countless arguments against it, people still willingly throw themselves into it by the millions. They're too fearful of the unknown, they're fearful of belonging somewhere when we die and religion is the prime example of how easily controllable people are when they're fearful.

 

Just yesterday, I completed an application for snap benefits. That's all I wanted and needed assistance with. Because I'm a part-time worker, my finances at times get strapped because I'm paying off a loan from a bank and it makes my working budgets feel a little compressed. I need some breathing room here.

I hope I get them but I never intend to be on it forever, I just need some financial security and resource assurance. I've always tried being a person who looked to things like this and only go to them when I needed them, not because I wanted them and mooch off from them.
