    Honestly, the longer I have been away from it, the more dumb it seems. So I don’t care. I can still read it, and I do - mostly to look for hardware related computer information from people who know more than me.

    Im in the medical field and have already spotted several posts giving incorrect medical advice that I now can’t correct. It used to be my thing. Its a shame the admins don’t concentrate on that kind of harmful misinformation, but whatever.

    Yep. This was me. I followed the android Sync app here. User-created content should not be monetized. Im not going to subscribe to something that’s mostly memes, attention-seeking behavior, and bullshit.

    I had hated reddit for ages. Many trigger-happy omniscient mods who couldn’t admit to a mistake if it swam up their arse and blew a trumpet. I was eventually perma-banned for glorifying violence by making a Star Wars reference about Trump. I can only assume the mod wasn’t old enough to remember Star Wars movies.

    I had been there from the bright and cheerful early days and watched it become 99.8% trash.

    Lemmy has hit the rewind button for me. It kinda sucks that so many people are trying to emulate what modern reddit had become, but it still feels refreshing. With a bit of luck, Lemmy will go in a direction I prefer. It’s not that I don’t want people to do whatever they want, but i feel like some instances will cater to certain demographics.




  • 1ns1p1d@lemm.eetoAsklemmy@lemmy.mlWhy is NPD so stigmatized?

    I don’t think that’s WHY it’s stigmatised. It had to be stigmatized before that to be applied to selfish people.

    It’s a disorder that is harmful to others and difficult to understand. For others to cope with it requires navigating a complex network of negative behaviors. Manipulation and lack of empathy are the traits of a psychopath, and none of us want that.

    The OP lacks empathy but evidentally desires it from others. If you understand why you need empathy, then you understand why lack of empathy is stigmatised.







  • My coworker has that kind of sense of humor where he always says the obvious joke you’re hoping nobody will make. Then he laughs, and for some reason, everyone else does.

    Also, whenever he helps someone and they thank him, he says, “That will be 10 dollars,” and then laughs about his joke.

    The reason i hate it is this: He’s a lazy, quiet-quitting asshole who everyone likes. I, on the other hand, work my butt off. I appreciate a witty, clever sense of humor. However, I’m socially awkward, so nobody likes me!




  • I cope pretty well with it. Some people get really depressed when it happens to them. Im okay if there’s noise. At night I listen to podcasts and use a fan next to my bed. At work it’s less noticeable, although fir some reason people think it’s fine to be mean if a coworker can’t hear very well.

    For me I had intermittent ringing for a year or two. It would always go away quickly. Then, one morning, I woke up with this much louder chirping sound that’s always there.

    I was a metal head. Too many gigs and loud earbuds.
