  • The current left isn’t “far-left” at all. Is it far-fetched to protect essential needs of your popular classes like keeping public services operating, ensuring proper education and healthcare while hunting down corporate abuse of public funds? All while proposing a balanced budget for it? That’s what I would expect the government doing, and this is the reason the NFP made all its amendments to the budget that was being prepared. That is, until Michel decided to pull a 49.3 to override the decision and get rid of the amendments Emmanuel didn’t like. You have to understand that the president gets to select his own prime minister, no one gets to vote.

    Having said that, neither the left nor the right wanted Michel as prime minister and each had their own ideas about who should take the position, so it’s in everyone’s interest (except Macron) to eject him and then push for their own candidate. This is possible after Michel issuing a 49.3.

    This is the system working as expected with the current rules, and a president that clings to power very very desperately with forces trying to fight him back while also fighting amongst themselves when they get a chance.

    But boy did I wish Emmanuel’s gang didn’t cling as hard to power like they’re doing. It feels very underhanded.


  • Everyone

    Not everyone does or thinks what you describe, no one except the people you consider the opinions of. So ignore this noise, and focus on the rest that don’t do those things. You are not responsible for what others do. Keep your own messaging consistent about equality and fairness and forget about what others may say online. Support creators that were hurt by others if you feel it will help. Remember that your are not responsible for what others do.

    There’s no point in doing anything in this world.

    You understand that this attitude is what’s keeping you down right? We always had to derive the source of meaning from ourselves for anything we do. As example I try to create in order to either make people’s lives easier, or to immerse them in interesting worlds. You may create games to elicit all kinds of emotions in your players too. And again: ignore the noise, focus on the actual positive impact you may have delivered. Make the positive outweigh the negatives. You feel like doing nothing? Take a temporary break, seek professional help.

    It’s ok to vent but bathing in self-misery is not. Seek help outside of Lemmy. Nothing seems inherently wrong with you, your frustration is justified, the world doesn’t end here. Being tired is ok, you can take a break to calm down, damp the noise, and find what you can do to make the world nicer and more interesting. You don’t need to fix everything.

    Maybe I just didn’t get the point of this community and this post, but I wish you to stop focusing on misery and find that you can be your own beacon of light and that others went through what you are going through.


  • Nothing sounds awful about you from your post, rather it sounds like you cannot take how people in your current circles treat you.

    This situation is not going to last if you distance yourself from the people that cause you to suffer. Family? Acquire your independence, don’t mention “The Special Activities”. “Friends” that ask for weed? Put distance from them, ignore who you can afford to.

    There are people out there that will not put as much a burden on you.

    In the meantime you can ignore special treatment people give you, despite how frustrated it might make you feel: why would it actually prevent you from making anything? Make it and ignore comments.



  • It sounds like your entourage is causing you suffering, it might be beneficial to distance yourself from them to some extent.

    You don’t need to share your hobbies and endeavors with said people, just do your thing and publish them using an anonymous persona online.

    For example we would never have known that you were a person of color if it weren’t for the fact that you mentioned it in this post.

    If disconnecting your creations from yourself is the key to saving your sanity, then you should already have the means to do so:

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pen_name

    A pen name may be used to make the author’s name more distinctive, to disguise the author’s gender, to distance the author from their other works, to protect the author from retribution for their writings, to merge multiple persons into a single identifiable author, or for any of several reasons related to the marketing or aesthetic presentation of the work.










  • […] it was decided that the language would be called “ECMAScript” instead. (Microsoft happily offered up “JScript”, but no-one else wanted that.) Brendan Eich, the creator of JavaScript and a co-signatory of this letter, wrote in 2006 that “ECMAScript was always an unwanted trade name that sounds like a skin disease.”

    I tend to agree with these sentiments
