How can I be less competitive about social media engagement?

Why does lemmy have it, so any link takes you off the page instead of opening in a new tab or window?
It is a simple line of code and the entire site does this or add target=“_blank” to every hyperlink, and it will do the same thing. It sucks that you have to right-click every link to open in a new tab or window and it is such a simple fix.

How do I tame my frustration toward my aging parents?
My parents are 57 and 63. My mother is erratic, forgetful, and when she gets mad she sometimes screams and throws things. My father is slowly going deaf, getting slower and more stubborn and forgetful as well. They can be infuriating sometimes, but I know that they’re aging and I can’t be mad at them. How do I deal with...

Trump is the winner of the election. What...

As a result, I have very low body odor. If I don’t shower, it’ll take several days before my significant other will...
