Sometimes the best lie is the truth.

So what’s the plan when family can no longer support them? At a certain point parents can no longer support adult children.

How does not working, uh, work? Like, pretty soon after I graduated I had to have a job to pay for food and housing and a car. If I didn’t I’d be homeless. Are NEETs all homeless?

Yup, won’t touch Disney

A bot can’t write “Disney’s Mickey Mouse, specifically the one depicted in the 2000’s cartoons still under copyright, fucking Donald Duck in his dussy”

Buy the land and put it in a trust, or incorporate and establish zoning laws.

The town im in keeps developing like crazy (for who im not sure, as there’s still a decent homeless population and empty housing but anyway)

Supply and demand. Build more and prices stop rising and maybe some people without homes will be able to catch up.

There’s a housing crisis and we need more housing built everywhere. Especially dense, walkable housing. From the sound of it they’re building car-dependent sprawl around you.

Yes, WordPress and Ghost websites are able to share their posts via ActivityPub, so people can follow them through Mastodon-like Fedi apps.

I can sympathize with not having the money to pay for a search engine when others are free. Aside from the great results, I like the idea of paying for a search engine.

“If you aren’t paying for the product, you are the product being sold” is true, and I don’t want to use a search engine that is trying to sell me to advertisers. I want the company’s goals to be aligned with mine as a user. I want them to worry about making me happy as a user, not finding ways to show me ads.

Kagi has a search lens for Fediverse forums like Lemmy. More content in Lemmy will make that even better

Being accountable to someone. Also my least favorite ADHD lifehack.

Hnnting?

I guess not! The hazards of splitting attention between reading Lemmy any other things in life

A lot of those low-wage workers don’t get federal holidays off. Ever go to a liquor store on Independence Day? Or a restaurant on Veterans Day? Or fill up your gas tank on Washington’s Birthday?

A better system is universal early and mail-in voting with as few impediments as possible. If you need to require identification, that ID needs to be free. There should be no monetary barriers to voting.

Actions speak louder than words. How about three questions to ask yourself?

1. Do I feel better when I have been with them?
2. Do they respect me?
3. Do I respect them?

Sorry we didn’t all go to Gudger College

That’s not how you make friends.

Is therapy an option? Because dealing with resentment is a big chunk of their work.

If not, self-improvement books and podcasts. Brene Brown, Happiness Lab.

Learn about healthy boundaries. Boundaries are for you, not other people. That is, you can’t say “you can’t do that to me” because you only control yourself, not other people. So instead you can say “if you do that, I will do _____” and then do it. That’s putting you in control. Resentment can stem from lack of healthy boundaries.

Learn about mindfulness and practice it. Rumination on the past gets you stuck. Mindfulness has the benefits of helping you recognize your thoughts, giving you some distance from them, and anchoring yourself in the present. Mindfulness builds these muscles.

I don’t know your situation or what you resent so these are pretty scattershot recommendations. A trained therapist can help you identify the strategies that work for you and your situation. If you need help finding one, the directory on psychologytoday.com is great in the US.

Automatic license plate readers are everywhere.

I put the noisy stuff in lists that don’t show up in my home feed. That way I can catch up on home, or open a topical feed when I’m looking to scroll more.
