I haven’t left, convince me to.

I’m red green colorblind and never had an issue with the traffic lights colors.

I have had days where the sun was so bright i could barely make out what light was on.

I wanted a G8 monitor or the G9

The G9 is still €1799 and the G8 went from €888 to €840.

I’ll wait for an upgrade of either and see these drop to 2/3 of msrp or something.

Tax dollars are paying for that right?

I’m Dutch myself, but i know a lot of people who can’t afford another increase in cost of living…i’m quite certain America has many more people in the same situation.

I wonder what would happen if Google manages to destroy itself with increasing shenanigans like this.

I mean, so much of digital based stuff relies on them for some extent.

I thought the same thing, turns out all i can do is become burnt out.

With stuff like that, depending on the rarity obviously wouldn’t it be better to get a regular version to read?

I have those magnet balls and over the years (sounds more dramatic than it is) i bought 10 sets which usually sit on my desk in some fancy shape as decoration.

They can get fairly expensive (mass/price) so i opted to buy a single set every so often as i haven’t found a magnet shop that sells individual balls for less.

Sometimes i get so invested i’ll mess with them for hours.

Lucky you, it seems.

I tend to do the same, also for those websites that come with a secondary pop up.

Makes me feel like they really don’t give a fuck, so why should i then and it’s easy to click back and try the next website in the rows of results.

The weirdest one i found was a couple days ago and i kinda give them props for it, as it made me go: “woooow almost had me.”

They had this whole standard wall of text with reasons to get you to accept and i didn’t see thr reject all button. It was a fairly lenghty wall too so i started scanning it for recognizeable words until my eyes passed: “reject” in the text. It was regular looking text but clickable.

Every other website i visit has a different tactic of hiding their reject button.

They will even give a second pop up leaving you unable to use the website in hopes of you clicking accept anyway.

The what now, chastity belts?

Parents: put some money aside. Government: pay taxes over that. Parents: do it with cash. Stores and others: we don’t accept cash anymore.

Man, my house is less than half theirs in size. Costs more than double but you keep calling me out for doing stuff.

All i’m doing is trying to not become a full time working homeless man.

I’m very bad with names, but our huisarts had a in house guy presumably that praktijkondersteuner and i had a couple talks with him about potential causes of what was causing issues. He noticed me being hyper aware and asked some stuff about my past which led to him sending me to the nearest psychology “clinic” which was covered under insurance but they are operating at “for profit” and will be aiming to get you out of there asap. I was warned about them but they were the only one within reach as we were very limited in travel distance.

I can’t really remember what we talked about during those 3 sessions but it was clear that her supervisor took over control as she was the one who very clearly and straightforward told me our sessions would be cut off.

Tbh it sort of felt like i was causing her issues leading to her supervisor having to take over control. It’s odd how i can’t remember what we talked about but i do remember the feelings that passed during those sessions.

Awesome, this is the first time my neighbours use their variation of G E K O L O N I S E E R D

Last time (and first) i went to therapy i was low on money and because of our insurance i “only”(be warned, veru european amounts ahead) had to pay my “own risk” clause which sat at €385. But i REALLY needed some form of help during that time, i had some job interviews and i was physically unable to drag myself to them.

I got about halfway and just break down completely, so i was desperate and literally stuck in life from my point of view.

So i went to therapy with my last money and ended getting 3 sessions and a “we can’t help you there is nothing wrong here’s the bill tho”.

I still don’t know how i managed to get out of there, but i can still feel it pulling in the background…this constant dragging brake.

I don’t think psychadelics can get me out of this, i tried weed once and man did i have a bad time. I’ve always had this: “i wouldn’t mind not existing/suicide would be great right about now” kind of brain and the weed didn’t help the worse part of that battle.

I just want to point this out: Louis Rossman is trying to fix this in a way, by allowing people to subscribe to a person and not one of their platforms, so if they get banned their new platform of choice will show up to all of their subscribers instead of them having to try and move their audience to a new nearly unused platform.

It seems Lemmy doesn’t like it either.

The internet should have always been taken with a grain of salt, but nowadays half of society lives on the web and have made it into the shitshow it is now.

I was unemployed for a couple weeks and spent them on my phone wasting away time between interviews so to say, i lost touch of reality so quickly to the point where just being allowed to live your life had become alien to me. I currently work at a construction company and i’ve quickly realized you can still live your life even though people don’t agree because they have no control over you.

The internet is a dangerous place

Online shopping used to mean lower prices and a bit of a wait.

Nowadays it’s: more expensive because of shipping, delivery not doing their job or even stealing your shit, which leads to you having to pick it up at a place further from your house than the store that sells it.

Over here they are supposed to deliver it to you in person but half the time (if not more) they’ll just leave a “you weren’t home note” even though you took the day off and then drop it off at a pickup point.

Downside is that i can’t stop online shopping because the stores never carry what i need.
