I’m sure some middle class people can afford to go to burning man. But you’re being wilfully ignorant if you think burning man isn’t catered to the rich. It’s almost purely a status symbol event. It’s definitely where people go to show off their lavish wealth and take pictures for Instagram. I’m pretty sure if they took a survey 80%+ would be wealthy people.

I’m middle class, and I’m spending a couple hundred dollars on my holiday this week, I almost can’t fathom spending thousands living in a tent in a desert.

But you’re right, the middle class has been eroded. What was considered middle class in 1970 would be rich today. That’s just because most people are worse off financially.

If you’re spending upwards of $1000 on a few days you’re probably rich.

Bit late to the party, but either Mortal Engines, the Young James Bond series, or Michelle Paver’s Chroncal’s of Ancient Darkness. They were all very engaging and transformative to a young me.

I probably remember parts of Young James bond the best, there’s parts about leeches that really stuck with me. I can still remember Mortal Engines as a whole in great detail, the concept and descriptions of the city chases are fantastic.

Most of it is contained to Reddit related communities, just block them if you don’t want to see the downfall of Reddit in real time.

I just sleep like shit, 23 and wake up most nights to pee, then a couple times just because and I’ll stay awake an hour or so each time. I fucking hate my body.

I’ll be a bit scared doing that, with all the instances I’ve been thinking how easy it will be to have malware links. How is shi.t.justwo.rks or whatever less random than a malicious link?

I’m more addicted to my phone, it’s just lemmy is what’s easiest to continuously scroll through at this point.

Nah but it’s been so long I have no clue what any of them taste like at this point, they can’t be that different.

Small doesn’t automatically mean better, it’s about the cooking process, speed, and cuisine. There are far better types of food I’d go for.

More talking about eating it regularly, I just don’t get it. If I’m at a service station in the middle of nowhere, sure I’ll eat a McDonald’s. But in a city, with hundreds of better options, I don’t get why anyone would choose it over better takeaways.

All I’m saying is I don’t get it, I haven’t eaten enough to know the differences in any of their food. You could put every frie(fry?) And every burger from every FF chain and I wouldn’t be able to identify a single one.

Same, but at least it’s delicious.

Tbf I only have about 5 of these FF places in my country.

Maybe in food related matters but in life, no.

There are just so many better options for takeaways. Fast food is like bottom of the barrel, if I absolutely have to kinda food.

Do people eat enough fast food to have a favourite? I’ve probably eaten fries from a fast food place under 10-15 times in my life.

Yes, but more so because of my tinitus. It fucking sucks, I can’t really focus on reading books because the silence is deafening.

Maybe it’s just me but I see a thumbs up as sarcastic more than sincere. Like an “ok buddy, whatever you say”.

Yup, at that point my social anxiety of smelling bad in public is stronger than my depression.

Oh well that’s a good start, still not an app and I’m not gonna browse on the website, it’s shit imo.

I just miss videos on general, I get it’s not realistic for a small business like lemmy to host videos on their servers. But in-app players for links would be great, I miss my dog/cat videos aswell as pussy videos. Imgur for animals, redgifs for porn. Idk maybe throw in TikTok links, even Instagram.

Oh I’m good, been passively waiting to die for a while now and don’t have a violent bone in my body.

When you disagree with the core concept of life and society/people there’s not much that would make life better. I’m done meeting people. Just tryna get through life as fast as possible and retire early then die.

I AM boring without my friends. But let’s not kid ourselves, the majority of life is boring.
