Thanks for the credit!

None, it’s the web version.

Sorry for late reply, I no longer use this account.

It’s not just snow, it’s the darkness as well. It’s quite lonely out there in the pitch black forest with just your headlights. I’m also pretty much just limited to the trails people have walked on where as during summertime I can drive where ever I please.

I’d be amazed if it didn’t have any negative health consequences - very few things in life come without trade-offs. The real question is how significant those consequences are and whether the benefits outweigh them. For many, the answer is yes.

Somehow they seem to think that one small cigarette butt is so insignificant that it doesn’t matter despite the fact that they can see these small cigarette butts literally everywhere.

Appereance is subjective but strenght is not. OSB is significantly weaker than regular plywood. Personally I consider it a construction material meant for walls, roofs and floors but I’d never use it for furniture making.

Anxiety / stress. Usually it relates to finances either directly or indirectly. I have enough savings to survive few years with zero income but having recently transitioned from employee to being self-employed, there’s quite a bit uncertainty about future. I’m not losing any significant amounts of money currently but I’m barely able to save anything either which makes me quite uncomfortable as someone who for the past 10 years has lived well below their means.

That’s my experience as well. In order to get a healthy, moderate amount of news you have to actively avoid them. I even tried avoiding weather forecasts at one point but people kept telling me.

I’d rather stay informed too but not at the expense of my mental wellbeing. It’s not political posts that’s the issue here - it’s the amount of them.

I’d embarrass her so hard after talking to me like that.

It’s pretty disingenuous to suggest that my decision to block political posts on Lemmy comes from a desire to stay ignorant.

No they don’t, you only notice the ones that do. It’s called toupee fallacy.

sticking your head in the sand and hoping it doesn’t effect you until it’s over is probably not the best way to handle it.

Consuming anger inducing political articles all day every day is probably not the best way to handle it either. For most people, this likely has far greater effect on their mental wellbeing than what these guys are doing policywise. On Reddit, there atleast was a slim chance that you could make an convincing enough argument that someone would drop their support for them but good luck finding such person on Lemmy. We’re preaching to the choir here.

That is what does most of the heavy lifting for me too. Nearly all political discussion here is, in fact, discussion about either Trump or Musk. I’d be willing to bet that at any moment, atleast third of the posts on anyone’s front page includes either of those names.

I’d like to be informed too but at this point it’s essentially a choice between being firehosed by american politics or blocking all of it. I wouldn’t mind if it was just the occasional article when something actually newsworthy happens. Now it’s for a large part just recreational outrage.

No worries dude!

That is not even remotely what I’m saying.

I’ve unfollowed so many communities due to the overwhelming amount of political articles already. If I keep doing that there’s not going to be anything left to browse soon. People are posting that stuff even on meme communities.

is there anyway I could be more disruptive to the business model?

By not using the platform. You think you’re being clever but all you’re doing is making them more money.
