naught101@lemmy.worldtoPolitical Memes@lemmy.world•American "left" and "liberal" can't decide if they're in the same nutshell.8·3 days agoAgreed. But also, you can just ignore those terms entirely and focus on actual issues…
naught101@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What form of entertainment, movie, music, tv, video game etc that you were excited about only after it came out did you realize it was trash?65·3 days agoProbably because the base material sucks (any “everyone is an arsehole” story sucks)
Plus, all the projects are cash grabs by capitalists with zero sense of taste or style.
naught101@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What form of entertainment, movie, music, tv, video game etc that you were excited about only after it came out did you realize it was trash?29·3 days ago💯 so much garbage. The 2-3 hour fan made cut-down versions are good though.
Made me even more pissed that they left Tom Bombadil out of LotR.

naught101@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What’s a small thing you do every day that makes life noticeably better?1·3 days agoVery fucking good.
Yep.
But the covering up with music part is still less common for millenias, who are more likely to be able to openly discuss their struggles and emotions with friends
This seems like more of a Gen X attribute to me. I’m an older millenial, and I know heaps of people my age who go to therapy.
naught101@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What’s a small thing you do every day that makes life noticeably better?4·5 days agoYou should consider selling your fucks instead, at least that way you get something for them
naught101@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What’s a small thing you do every day that makes life noticeably better?5·5 days agoWriting a list of things I want to do at the start of the day. Don’t need to get them all done, but it just gives some direction. Things can roll over too, if they seem worth it.
naught101@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•If suffering is good because it gives life meaning, wouldn't it follow that hurting people is good?6·5 days agoGoodness in one aspect doesn’t cancel badness in another…
It can be always bad AND sometimes good.
naught101@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•If suffering is good because it gives life meaning, wouldn't it follow that hurting people is good?15·5 days agoNo, it’s not. It’s saying that any amount of suffering is bad, but a tolerable amount of suffering can have good secondary effects (but this is not guaranteed, it’s circumstantial). The secondary good doesn’t mean that the bad part didn’t happen.
Agree it’s on a different scale (everything is relative to 200 years ago).
One of the main “benefits” of mechanised factory machinery in the early 1800s was that shifted the demand side of labour, such that capitalists had far more control over it. I reckon that counts as a kind of large scale manipulation (but yeah, probably not as pervasive of other domains of life).
Wut? In what way is that not part of the monetary economy?
