i buy physical because i genuinely think nintendo is one of the last good game devs remaining. but switch 2 is just download cards. i will not be purchasing it.

that’s why i dont buy digital games on nintendo. one day the service ends and it’s gone forever.

Sorry I mean keeping yourself dry is still a problem and a huge debate in camping gear. Look up the goretex controversy for example haha

I bring an actual pillow. It’s worth the weight

Staying dry is still an issue

I’m really nerdy about camping gear. The shit coming out every season is just insane.

Oops :)

There’s an open source roller coaster tycoon

I’m a car guy and learning manual for me was embarrassingly slow. I’m good at it now and my daily is a manual but when I was learning it was a total disaster.

Well eventually there will be so many normies it becomes reddit then we just have to start over again lol

I wish I could learn to nap. I’m 30 and I’ve never been able to do it. Even a 14 hour flight there is no way I’m going to nod off even for a second

I would say it’s quite literally because a lot of people who post on lemmy are intelligent and intelligent people pay close attention to the problems in the world aka “woke”

Saw a tshirt lately that said “politics is dumb but very important” lol

And if you tell other normal people to come here eventually this place will become less extremist

Just throw those people in the trash with your block button man, you have full power here

Coming from reddit it is pretty funny how well this works because those people commenting like you say are quite literally the same 3 people

And use block liberally. If someone makes me feel negative in any sort of way I will insta block. I’ll never meet anyone here irl so it’s the most logical thing to do

Yeah it’s really easy to lose the plot sometimes. Lately at my desk at work the words “worthless animal” and “I trusted you” are what the voice in my head won’t stop shouting so I’m slowly picking up the pieces with the forest routine again and trying to get that noise to ease up a little bit

With info overload these days everyone struggles with this to some extent I do believe

For anyone with a noisy self destructive brain like mine appears to be, I got pretty good at mindfulness by walking the exact same route through the forest the exact same time every day and by just sort of casually observing the sights and smells which somehow became a mental association with “these thoughts are normal and OK” including those extremely dark ones if you know what I mean

Basically any time a bird is making a sound now I can just enter a meditative sort of state where thoughts just come and go regardless of how evil those thoughts are. I changed the angle of my skylight window in my bedroom so that it acoustically catches the sound of the birds on the tree to my east, and if you know birds they sort of go sit on the same branch and sing the same exact bullshit on a somehow perfect schedule

Lately going through the darkest period of my life. When I manage to finally fall asleep I wake up from horrifying nightmares but there is a bird that will sit on my skylight at exactly 4am and he gets me back to sleep ez and I stay asleep

I used to have a hummingbird couple that I chilled with on my balcony every sunset but unfortunately they passed away this year

Sleep deprived ramble but maybe there’s some wisdom here

You need to practice mindfulness. People should be OK with 10 minutes “staring into the void” and this is exactly the damage phones did to us

Edit: if I really want to look at my phone I open Wikipedia and check out the featured article or maybe the top read of the day list. It’s not brain rot and it’s not that fun either but it’s time well spent

It’s not her, look up Avril Lavigne replacement theory

I don’t actually believe it but it’s a hilarious thought exercise

Exaggerated obviously. The school is made of brick it wasn’t going to burn if I tried

It never burned down just ruined the microwave

Woah

Dude I was like 12 and severely bullied haha I’m a grown up now with a mortgage and a job
