I think you’ll find that at every level. It’s certainly very prevalent anong middle-class suburbanites.

Okay, meaningless or spurious.

How do you know you haven’t?

Bullshit is meaningless talk or meaningless tasks.

Horseshit is a falsehood.

Batshit is crazy or deranged.

Dogshit is something low-quality.

So you can get dinner and dessert at the same place.

No.

TBF, I don’t really try to keep most things inside anyway, so there’s only a few I need to keep the lid on.

I share this blessing. I’m still confused by how exactly people are tasting how spicy their precious meal was when it’s on the way back out.

No, the working class and the lower class are both very empathic. I’m guessing you haven’t spent very much time with us.

I’ve been carfree in Chicago for two decades, I highly recommend it. I keep my license current for emergencies and the odd once-a-year rental situation, but don’t own one. It’s cheaper and safer this way.

MRW I’m on a list with the CIA and the NRA but it’s the Culinary Institute of America and the National Restaurant Association.

We’d suffocate and then be crushed.

Your first time doing taxes, go to the public library and grab the paper copy of the instructions, even if you’re submitting it electronically. Read them and highlight anything that’s confusing or important.

Laundry: Use less detergent than you think, and colder water than you think. Don’t machine-dry any wool and most synthetic fabrics.

ADHD? Look into a bullet journal for keeping track of important info. This is not a product, it’s a method, and you can do it with a 50¢ composition book. The main benefit for someone with ADHD is that it’s stupid easy to start and doesn’t break if you forget to do it for a day or a week or a month.

Buying insurance? Hiring a contractor? Know your budget and get at least three quotes before deciding.

You don’t get promoted by being good at your current job. You get promoted by asking for it, or by jumping to a different company.

Start investing now. Pick a stock or fund that’s boring but steady and buy $50 worth (or more, if you can afford it), rain or shine. Don’t stress about optimizing it; even boring investments should have a return well above inflation.

Never lend anyone money. It will destroy your relationship 90% of the time. If someone needs help and you want to help them, just give them the money. Either they’ll pay it back some other way or they’ll pay it forward, but no matter what it won’t be hanging between you.

If times are hard, don’t be afraid or ashamed to take advantage of programs or food banks. That’s what they’re there for. You’re not taking it away from someone who needs it more, most food banks have a big overflow from week to week. If you feel bad about using these programs when you’re down, well, make sure to donate or volunteer when you’re up.

Well, there won’t be any new posts, so that’s not all that much of a problem in the end.

The hell I can’t!

not what I wrote

Upvoting and down voting were always about sorting content by worthiness, and they are the same function here.

because the official app is ad-infested bloatware without decent modtools that gobbles my data bucket and keeps trying to show me popular / all instead of just my subscriptions

and because reddit cancelled all my coins and then brought out a new microtransaction currency within the year

and because spez is a shill for the US President and his reactionary right-wing entourage

same but RIF

No ads, working third-party mobile apps, better community, better discussion, fewer farmers and bots and less spam, and people generally post a text synopsis when linking to a video

It mentions Mastodon, but presumably there will be a “flavor” that is more thread-like and connects well to lemmy/piefed/*bin?
