adam_y, 8 days ago to memes in Bygone Era

I get it. We can’t buy houses, we can’t afford groceries.

Admittedly my parents couldn’t afford a house and we often had to skip on groceries too.

But as a kid of the 80s, the thing that gets me is how these memes seem to ignore inflation entirely.

Yes those numbers are lower but so were wages.

And of course we can can talk about real terms wage stagnation, but poverty is timeless and the 80s were an awful and unaffordable time for a lot of people.

But yeah. Sure.

And yet he’ll still get votes.

Whilst I’ve been waiting for this day for ages, it gives me no pleasure to realise it means very little.

Genuinely, if it helps you feel better, you are always welcome to share your photos with me and tell me about them.

Have to make it in AI because it will never happen in real life.

Fantasy bullshit.

Get yourself into photography. You don’t need anything expensive, if you have a phone camera, that will do.

Document the strange and interesting things in your environment. The people, the architecture.

It gets you out of the house a mission per day. It gives you a goal.

Got through the whole article and they don’t say, “Fall of Duty” once.

What even is journalism these days?!?

Love how this has gone from “researcher at x university” to “tip from a friend of mine” in less than 48 hours.

adam_y, 10 days ago to random in how to cite dream/hallucination in APA 7th?

Sounds like a phenomenological situation … Or as we like to call it in the sciences, “not science”.

adam_y, 10 days ago to adhd in Do you ever feel like that sometimes ?

That. That sounds like it, coupled with frustration and feeling a bit overwhelmed.

It is cool to be exhausted after work if it fullfills you and you enjoy it, but most folk need the gaps between to be themselves.

adam_y, 11 days ago to adhd in Do you ever feel like that sometimes ?

Just so you know, this isn’t just an ADHD thing.

Most folk experience it and it’s one of the main causes of burnout.

That said, it’s always worth checking that you are getting enough vitamin d and that your thyroid is working right.

adam_y, 11 days ago to asklemmy in Writers of Lemmy, how do you do outining?

Yes, do this if you want your work to have the same feel as every other writer who runs their work through an llm.

The cup on the desk… Uh… Yeah that means something different in Scotland.
