  • I make it a point to not discuss things like this when people aren’t thinking clearly.

    When you smoke a cigarette the smoke doesn’t automatically find the nearest non-smokers lungs in order to harm them. The smoke settles, and there are more than enough places far enough away from people to smoke at.

    If you’re worried about secondhand smoke harming you in any context outside of smoking indoors - I’m sorry but you just aren’t thinking clearly.







  • My mom has her shit together.

    The woman will fork the butter. I’ll walk into the kitchen and see a perfect stick of butter, with the ends clearly carved into with a fork.

    I think the lesson I took from it is; it doesn’t matter what the tool is supposed to be used for as long as the job gets done.


  • If you’re reading this, just know that I will probably butt heads with you at some point. I can be abrasive, and I typically don’t censor what I think.

    That being said, I wouldn’t choose any other social media. Lemmy makes me think of what the United States should be, disparate communities coming together to form a larger and stronger whole. I can be an asshole, spit my shit and have people discuss things with me in a rational manner - for the most part coming to a common understanding.

    I’ve learned a lot about who I want to be from talking to and reading what Lemmians have to say. I will always appreciate this place.


  • It’s easy to feel that way even if you are a techy. It seems like being minimally neurodivergent is the abnormal here.

    That being said, I’ve been introduced to many different ways of thinking that I wouldn’t have gained otherwise. Think of it like you’re different, but that’s ok because everyone here is different - and that makes them (and you) all the more beautiful for it (especially in the context of idea exchange). In fact, being the different one here will give you the perspective that many of the people who use Lemmy experience simply by existing which, in and of itself, is a valuable thing.
