I was doing good for months walking at least every other day.

Then I had some things thst came up causing a ton of stress and I just couldn’t. And here is sit, months later and I’ve barely touched my treadmill since.

That’s kind of what happened to me. Never needed to study in grade school. Had to scramble and learn how to study in college.

Still didn’t register why I had so much trouble focusing or remembering stuff until the last year or so.

A lot of this comes from professors wanting comments in assinments and grade on arbitrary levels of if it exists.

I had one class where the instructor would give a vuage “not enough comments” that I did comments like this on every fuction and loop out of spite.

I have a hard time having empathy for a group that wants me dead for existing…

My handwriting has always been terrible. It was a big issue in school until I was able to turn in printed assignments.

Like with a lot of school things, they do a shit thing without thinking about negative effects. They always want a simple solution to a complex problem.

As lord Gaben has said, “piracy is a service issue”

I wanted a Tesla for years. I even had stock which helped me buy my house.

I no longer want a Tesla and it 100% has to do with musk. And I decided that before I realized I’m trans.

For some reason the only way can interpret this is she’s saying the bubonic plague was a bio weapon… Or any other plague in history, including the ones “God” takes responsibility for in the Bible.

Unfortunately, once you get enough money the system is designed to keep you wealthy no matter how much you fuck up.

Like, Trump has had multiple failed companies including casinos thay failed because he had them competeing with each other.

Yet while he’s probably not a billionaire he still has the status of “wealthy” and managed to fail into the most powerful position in government.

Musk had more money, and therefore can fuck up way harder and still be fine. He could burn Twitter to the ground for all the effect it would have on him.

This hurts users actually trying to find help more than it hurts reddit.

You want reddit to die just stop engaging with it. Archiving old info isn’t a profitable platform because new stuff drives engagement.

Being active elsewhere is what will kill reddit.

Basically. I know at least two other trans women besides myself from my graduating class.

Stereotypes, all of us 😅

The girls in the class will figure themselves out eventually

I’ve always lived by lord GabeN’s “piracy is a service issue. You have to offer a better experience than the pirates”

For me it was that I didn’t have the information I needed to process what I was feeling and deal with what was wrong. I didn’t have the language to even describe that something was wrong.

I know many others in my situation that ended up with worse coping mechanisms in the same circumstance. Heavy drinking and drug use is common in the community.

That said, addictions can be physical. There’s a reason you have to ween people off of certain substances because withdrawal can kill them.

There can be mental addictions, but older generations don’t tend to care unless it’s something they don’t like.

I don’t feel like I was addicted to games growing up, but I know I was using them for escapism. Nobody from the outside would have looked any farther than “you spend X amount a day playing games”, and ignore why I felt the need for it.

Too many self important people act like addiction is a personal failing when it’s usually somone trying to find some relief in a society that has failed them.

As somone who has used video games as escapism there could also be something underlying that nobody is considering.

Who is he gonna sell it to? Nobody would want it thanks to whay he did to it.

I I still use it on desktop since I can still use the old design and I run several layers of adblock.

On mobile I basically never use it now unless a search result forces me to it. Lemmy needs work, but I’ve gotten it to a usable state in mobile.

I really home Baconreader makes a lemmy version because that was the only way I used reddit mobile.

Yep. I’ll up vote news of a hate crime or something, but downvote things that are directly hateful.

Context always matters and a lot of the big sites fail to understand the difference between talking about things like racism, sexism, homophobia, and transphobia and somone being those things.

I generally don’t downvote unless somone is being bigoted or hateful.
