  • Epicureanism teaches that you will never have enough money, enough fame, enough influence, so chasing after those will never make you happy. Instead, you should focus on fulfilling your needs and fixing problems in your life, getting enough to eat, enough sleep, surrounding yourself with friends and enjoying the small things in life. When you’re unburdened by needs, you reach long-lasting happiness.

    So to me, that means earning enough to fulfill your needs is enough, especially if you don’t have to worry about losing your job any time soon






  • I prefer green tea blends, but I drink black if I need more caffeine. I don’t drink coffee at all, so it’s my main source of it and I drink most teas without anything else. No milk, no sugar, no honey, nothing. To me, sugar in tea just ruins the taste and milk in tea is really weird to my culture’s palette (most people here drink herbal or fruit teas by the way, very few drink green or black)

    I think that we may simply be among the first civilisations to reach such a technologically advanced point. By the time a species gets tech that can destroy their civilisation, i reckon they would most likely have also made a broadcast of some sort, either through radio or light or whatever else.

    Granted, there’s no real way to know any of this, us being the first is just what I reason is the most likely answer.


  • I disagree with your take on men being emotionally weaker. It’s merely an excuse to avoid learning emotional intelligence and it’s just a symptom of how they are socialised. Men don’t learn how to properly channel and express their emotions, instead being told to bottle them up or repress themselves from early childhood (stuff like being told “You’re a boy, stop crying” or “Man up and get over it”). It leads to a less empathetic world and makes people insensitive and inconsiderate.


  • I don’t agree. The simple fact that Lemmy is decentralised is a political thing. It’s about who has power over the platform, and that is inherently a political issue. The status-quo of other platforms, that being under the control of a corporation, is also a political stance.

    PS: everything is politics, that’s not a good or bad thing, it’s neutral. If you don’t think of something as political, that just means it’s oriented towards the status-quo you are used to.
