Poor people don’t have time above all else. A lot of times they are working 2 jobs, sometimes with those jobs doing shady scheduling where you are essentially on call without being paid for being on call.

Also tons of people just aren’t as smart as you are at computer things. Guess what? If they were you wouldn’t be as cool as you are for being able to do it.

I’ve found everyone has something they can teach me, whether it’s how to be or how not to be.

A great way to use your talent would be to assemble the resources that made you good at something and post it online so others can be lifted up by your knowledge.

Everyone in this entire world’s life is at minimum as complex and nuanced as your own. It’s kinda rough to assume laziness of people you don’t know well.

I’ve been up and down, and I ain’t better than anyone on here, I’m just trying to add a little of my perspective.

How is anyone going to beg them to stay if they don’t announce it?

In my life I’ve found you have to do things to get happiness. I can’t tell you what they are. You should try a lot of things. You should try even if there’s a million pounds of weight on your chest from self doubt or guilt or fear or loneliness.

Find something you can appreciate about everything you have to do. I really like washing dishes by hand for the moment you get that last bit of grit off the pan. I like breaking down cardboard boxes because it reminds me of my childhood working for my dad. I like a nice night on the porch where you don’t need a sweater but it’s not too hot either. I like a cold beer.

Understand you can’t have anything without the opposite. You’re gonna feel down. I feel down, everyone does. Some people feel a lot more down than others. But if you’re gonna wake up anyway, might as well try to find a way to make the best of things. We don’t get to be movie stars, but we can be stars in the eyes of others.

I get so much out of just helping people a little bit. If you don’t feel like you’re worth anything, find a way to help people. You’ll see how important you can be when you visit that person who doesn’t have anyone in their lives, or listen to the coworker going through a difficult time. Even just saying hi to people can make you feel a little better.

Maybe you read this and think “oh here we go again”. I get it. What if your thoughts aren’t trustworthy though? Maybe acknowledging your broken brain makes you sad but then believing it when it says nothing will work is kind of a crazy contradiction that will tear you apart if you let it.

I’ve been happy a lot, I’ve been sad a lot. I expect it will continue to be this way. This has been dad’s rambling response to something that’s supposed to be a joke, thanks for tuning in.

I’m here for the shitposts, and I mean that sincerely. I’m not interested in knowing anyone or having anyone I know be here. Most of the normal content that gets upvoted is back slapping about not being elsewhere.

Stop posting cringe, it’s insane to care this much about a non-problem. You don’t have to subscribe to world if quality changes, or even be on the fediverse, or online!

You’re enjoying this place so much you’ll start a bunch of drama Alex jones style to save it? Oof.
