I consider myself an introvert, and I had to work hard to build that social muscle. Once its built though, you dont have to work as hard to maintain it, and people become less draining. Is it fair that extroverts dont have to work as hard to do this? No. But you have advantages they dont. It sounds like you need to either find a career where you dont need to work in a team (unlikely) or develop your social skills.

Is that milk or…

lol there’s no way the poster actually fired anyone. If there’s one thing I’ve learned its that most business don’t like to fire people, its too expensive. They just talk a big game, do write-ups and generally try to use passive-aggression to present an air of “you’re on thin ice!” Odds are, if your employer needs you THAT badly to work your shifts, they’re not gonna want to train an all new person to replace you.

Thats why I got a Convection Microwave. Best of both worlds!

Yeah im def on the side of science communicators. Make real info accessible and fun especially for younguns.

I go through phases like this, and its best to try other hobbies for awhile. When you feel that drive to play again, you will know.

I dont play consoles for this reason

Its called cheating. Download some mods or something; the game is the game they made. If you want something different, there are plenty of options.

Edit: A question for those downvoting comments; where are the indie souls-likes with an easy mode? The market for a such a thing doesnt really exist as far as I can tell. On the other hand, if those games do exist and im just not aware of them, then for fucks sake just go play them and be happy. Im not out here saying Stardew Valley needs a permadeath mode, that would be childish.

Heard a few gems in STALKER 2 “Better a lousy peace than an awesome gunfight”

You’re right in one sense; the community is small and can have an echo chamber effect like any “small village.” But you can also try other instances, or other Fediverse things or start your own. It goes like this; Reddit had success because they served you interesting things on a silver platter, using extensive venture capital to make it as slick and addictive and popular as possible. Lemmy is not built on capital, at least not on the same scale as Reddit; it is built on labor. You gotta decide what your ideal is.

If I had the opportunity for some street justice on a billionaire I wouldnt fucking hesitate. That said, it would change jack shit. His wealth just passes to the next asshole.

Ok. Bro its not about the dollar amount; that was just a rhetorical device…

“Record payout” of 8,000 dollars vs a lifetime of trauma. Tough choice

You can get your panties in a twist over accuracy (it doesnt matter as much as you think it does) but what youre really mad it is American cultural hegemony. So yeah good luck yelling in to the void I guess.

How do you deal with the slowdown? It ruins late game for me

Project Zomboid, Valheim

I keep the other guy in a drawer

My wife be watching 90 Day Fiance and sometimes I catch myself unironically watching a whole episode with her. Shit is buckwild

you can work to live or you can become dependent on others to support you, but somehow you’re gonna need to eat.

Its not hidden, its just shy
