yes

Bloody hell mate, I clicked by mistake and wasn’t expecting a foot long dick. You’ll put someone’s eye out with that thing.

Mate, let’s first focus on getting you better. Nevermind how the parents would react, parents aren’t there forever and their reach on our lives can only go so far. I know in Asian culture things can get nasty, but at the end of the day there’s just you and your sense of self. It gets better as you age and get to know yourself more and work through the issues left by trauma. But we need to get away from the morbidity aspect, that’s not good for you.

Sorry, I’m not trying to be your therapist, but there’s some relatability in your words, I feel an impulse to help.

craps… monkey every day 2 bananas, monkey no craps

Depends on whether you want to avoid craps.

oh yeah.

I’m not judging, I’m trying to provide a different perspective to your pessimistic view of the world. I think it might help you.

Yes. I can’t change the world and I have a life to live.

Indeed I do. Here on Lemmy, for instance, anything with news in the name gets blocked. I follow my local news on my own terms by going to the news pages instead of being fed whatever is popular today. This helps a lot. Logically speaking, “news” must include mostly bad things, otherwise it’d be called “sames”, (assuming, as I do, that we live in mostly good times). I’d recommend to everyone, specially people on the younger side, to try to experience life by yourself and connect to people one on one, mass media is a cancer.

It is not common knowledge. It is a common fallacy. People are the solution, not the problem. Bad things happening in the world absolutely do not mean “people are bad”. You guys need to work on your psychological resilience. The bad news don’t decide how you relate to people in general, that’s a choice you’re making. And you can stop making it. You’d feel better and less cynical.

(of course I’m here lecturing people, but I myself don’t always manage to keep a positive mindset, we’re human)

People are great. I don’t mean to offend, but a generic dislike of people like that is a sign of low self esteem. Or any other of the myriad of mental illnesses we have today. That’s why I asked. This needs to be addressed, simply moving into the mountains is not a solution.

Again, I don’t want to sound confrontational, but psychiatry has studied this for decades, it’s not a new thing. I wished we stopped making jokes with this subject. If yall dislike people that much, maybe you need some help. I’m saying it sincerely, not to belittle your individual experiences.

How big are your tits?

Do you mind me asking why do you want to avoid (what seems like) people in general?

AFAIK, there is already at least some yearly damage caused by elephant stampedes.

Also having your car crushed by a 50 ton beast or getting necked by one of the necky ones.

That’s an interesting question. It’s pretty nuanced. I don’t know of any laws that would stop Microsoft from going “oops, we had a bug in our software, sorry about that”. Same for the linux distros. Unless you’re a corporate customer, then that would be included as part of some contract. So at the end of the day you trust Microsoft’s reputation. You’d trust your distro of choice as well. So as a thought experiment I would suggest that the most secure operating system provider is the one that ships a very similar version of its OS to both end-users and enterprise customers. Some Linux distributions fall into that category, some definitely not.

Also, keep in mind that some distros are run mostly by individual contributors not employed by any knowingly reputable company, so I’d stay away from those by default.

What’s this about?

Mine is the exact opposite, that people are generally kind and good once you remove some initial barriers that keep us apart. The older I get, the more love for people in general I feel.

So I guess we’re both mentally ill. High five!

To the americans in the thread, I’m sorry to break it to you, but your entertainment industry fosters this kind of behaviour. The beauty pageants, the sexualisation of every young female singer, the obsession with high school movies, the fact that roles in movies have a much younger woman depicting an older character, your pop singers being all very close to being too young and singing about sex, it’s everywhere. You’re made to think that youth is a sexy thing. It seems Hollywood is full of vampires. I’d go as far as to say that this is a problem with your culture in general. I have never seen this kind of behaviour anywhere else that wasn’t already influenced by american media. I’m sorry.

edit: spelling

I sense this^ reply is crap.

That’s silly, they’re just pretending the two departments somehow work synergistically so they can get grants.
