No. I can't say I've had any "trauma" at all. I grew up in a safe and stable home to loving parents. Nowadays I have a pretty good life and my mental health is pretty perfect, thanks for asking

Idk I'm not hiding from anything? Like i can't really hide from these so-called realities, I just mitigate them as do we all by living in and perpetuating civilization by e.g. not littering thereby not fly-tipping and not attracting flies and other infestations.

What's exactly "dysfunctional" about these statements? How can a statement even be "dysfunctional"?

Idk, flowers are just weak air freshener honestly. It's not surprising that something that was created to smell good to us smells better to us than something that wasn't meant to smell good at all.

Definitely not.

Guess we approached from different sides. Where we descended there was smell from a nearby pig farm. Almost swore off animal products then and there just because animals get pretty gross ngl.

I know Bookchin and I've skimmed some of his works, though I'm more familiar with Kropotkin and Graber, what's your point?

I thought agoraphobia might be the case and it would make sense as I'm a minority and trusted polls show most of the nation wants my rights gone, but I don't actually have any issues going outside and I don't fear people, I don't have issues even going out in nature, I just don't like the latter same as I don't like Chinese or Indian food, I will eat it if it's all that's available but I won't enjoy it.

My mental health is actually pretty perfect these days.

Not everything is some mental illness, people just have different opinions and mine is well reasoned I'd like to think.

On the other hand "loving nature" is something I seldom see justified in any meaningful way, so I remain unconvinced that it is something to consider.

Do you have any logical reasons for why you disagree (and "hate") my opinion?

Does it? What's the position? Ultimately my reason for posting this is to create a discussion so I'm curious to hear what you think.

Picking up litter is going to make more health CEOs disappear? Whaaaaat?

No modern housing due to NIMBYs here in the UK. A smaller community means renting a tiny attic, basement or god forbid house sharing a room in a partitioned victorian mcmansion for £1k a month or more. In my experience you will also have absolutely psycho neighbours over and over and over.

Trains will be dog shit in the south and you won't get anywhere fast or reliably and you will pay £50 for the pleasure, the cars are too expensive to have, and nobody wants to sit in traffic. If you're LGBTQ it's only a matter of time if you get hatecrimed.

If you talk to anyone you'll get the cops called on you because talking to strangers is very weird in those communities.

There are insane cliques on Facebook filled with elderly with too much time on their hands who will conspire to attack specific street buskers or Starbucks baristas for being overly "gormless".

Having a nice hill to stare into fields at is okay, but most likely it'll be filled with dogs and all those fields and beautiful """nature""" will be privately owned as well.

You're in luck, the deck runs those fairly well in my xp.

At the same time technology is neutral, it's humans who chose this, so frankly less interaction and a bit more technology might be highly beneficial.

At least the economy will be great for the leopards

It's a bit dated tbh, these days even if you pay you are still the product, you simply aren't worth the while to be treated well because in most cases these companies have established monopolies, and we're not just talking social media but a good deal of tech companies altogether, and many in other sectors be it cars or fridges.

We are well into the enshittification era and the way they make you stay has gotten a lot more overt and direct, far less subtle, you flat out cannot blacklist sources in Google news anymore for instance.

That said it's important to remember that pre-enshittification things were not good, and that an initiative to move off social media should ideally be motivated not by an attempt to make companies return to a prior era of better value or to, nor by a desire to return to that era, but by the realization that a veil has been lifted on what has all along been a pretty awful thing.

 

Was trying to extract a totally legit copy of Skate 3 I downloaded today to play on my Steam Deck

 

Just got a steam deck and immediately checked out the desktop mode, and I was somewhat surprised to see KDE and pacman as opposed to GNOME and apt, I have nothing against the former though a strong preference for the latter, anyone know why Volvo went in this direction?

 

Hey! After seeing the main Anarchist sub on another instance be a bit of a shit show this one seems awesome and I do love me some solarpunk so this instance seems pretty cool as well.

But I gotta ask, is this instance anprim/anti-civ? I see green in the sub banner. It's not really a worldview I vibe with since I'm very much pro-tech, pro-civ, pro-AI, pro-medicine and pro-LGBT & disability rights, so if the majority here are of that persuasion I should probably bail, don't want to argue or start fights.
