Yes, I do have a full-time job, and I even enjoy it, but it doesn’t pay enough to survive in this hellscape of a world we live in. I lack the college degree required to get almost any decent-paying job (plus my last job hunt took MONTHS to get a lead), I don’t have the skills or originality to become an online content...

I spend a lot of time fixing things, for myself and others. (Computers, electrical, plumbing, etc). While I learn a lot, I wonder sometimes if it would be better to pay a professional and do something else for which I am more ‘valuable’. Do you do the same, and do you find it worthwhile?

Fun fact: I mass reported this post with different accounts

Edit: apparently this is a very common form of Japanese storytelling called an isekai. There are 8 billion people in this world, no idea can be original. And sometimes you miss out on things many other people know. I’m clearly one of today’s lucky 10000.

I’ll start… toilet paper, tampons, and QTips…

What was your first anime show or film?...

I’m not too tech savy. I’ve searched online and found two methods that use Google Play or my Google Account, but for the life of me I can’t find the settings I’m supposed to find. And also, wouldn’t this information just be stored on my device? Why do I need to ask Google about my phone ?...

So when I was in school from 2nd to 6th grade in that school there was a sign saying to treat others the way you want to be treated. And yeah the irony with that was teachers at that school were actually quite abusive that I saw no sense in on one hand treating others the way you want to be treated meanwhile being treated badly...

When you connect a new device to a ‘smart’ tv, you must pay homage to the manufacturer with a ritualistic dance. Plugging and unplugging the device. Turning them on and off in the correct sequence like entering a konami code....

I’m sick of using google maps, they started putting gigantic ads for stores on the map and I’m tired of them tracking me. So I ask you Lemmy, what should I switch to?!...

Have Bill gates in a sleep over, who will tell you the secrets to screwing people over and spyware tricks...

Hi Lemmy....

People consider vegans on Lemmy as too preachy. Even in vegan communities here, mods have to remove soooo many inappropriate comments (I read a few of these and they keep getting removed for good reasons). Comments that suggest going vegan on posts about animal abuse are downvoted....

I read fiction online; be it comic, manga, novel, etc. If it has comment section, there are always people that make comment about the character action or reaction to something and try to apply modern/western norms. Bear in mind that the stories mostly set in old times, eastern country, or fantasy world. I am not condoning all...

I think i did once, but this was honestly a question i could have found the answer to on their site i just didnt wanna look...

i like furry stuff and i’m a furry so i would like to know please. i know there are a few lemmy furry instances but still!! most of them are bots or repost content from r/furry_irl. thank you so muuuuch!!!

Title almost says it all. OLED monitors are getting more and more affordable, but it’s almost out of the picture when buying a monitor because of toolbars and HUD elements. I don’t understand why monitors “burn-in”, when I shine my LED flashlight or some LED xmas lights they won’t simply start emitting the same light...

i was walking along some bushes when a bird flew out from a bush in front of my path into a grass clearing. it was a very small crow. it made two quiet, short, high-pitched peeps in rapid succession, hopping in circles. i tried to walk around it, but it kept blocking my path and making the exact same peeps at me....
