I feel this, but more along the line of chosen ignorance rather than actual stupidity. Either a new topic us overwhelming or they worry\fear they’ll get it “wrong”. Also, being from the south, where so much has been politicized, they fear the tribal back lash of thinking for themselves. I don’t know what’s wrong with me, I was never the type to “go with it”.
I need this so I downloaded if that’s OK thankyou
I’ve loved the thoughtful discourse on Lemmy, I’ve grown weary of seeing news about reddit in the feed. Reddit died long before this last bit, becoming a haven for a particular, ill informed, consensus seeking group.
Then tonight, I had a reddit moment here on Lemmy where some non socialized, rude, consensus seeking user wanted to snipe and sounded like an over protected , suburban, adolescent boy.
I haven’t seen one of those here yet and they are the absolute plague of open discourse .
Please Lemmy, don’t let it go on.
If I bought insurance I’d be paying way more than I pay out of pocket for my routine healthcare because I’d never meet the deductable, and being insured , the visit would be priced higher. I pay a cash price that is lower . If some catastrophic injury occurred, I couldn’t afford it insured or not so fuck it. I also live accordingly , I think we all do consciously or unconsciously, live with a certain amount of fear of financial ruin due to sickness or injury. Instead if eating the rich, they are apparently eating us.
I guess that is how he’ll a house, high risk, high reward. .
This is the issue that’s so hard to see until it is explicit like your example. The time wasted, not spent on things of value is where this type of trolling costs us the most. In world news there were well thought out answers to some asshole who was just giving low quality taunts
Very same here. I delivered pizza in Atlanta in 1988 and shared a two bedroom on Piedmont park for a total of 550.00 month. I was so worried about making it too lol. Now as a person 30 years in my field and making fair money , I am paycheck to paycheck with little ability to save. To be fair, I’ve started over a couple of times , divorce etc. Starting over is expensive and takes a long leveling off but this economy is adding a lot of time on it.
Incredible!
