Idk I feel like there’s also something to be said to have the freedom to just buy another house after saving a bit. It sounds so easy, but most families would have to sell their house in order to upsize.

Never moved but my mom was in credit unions and the trade in of the house was pretty common. In all fairness, there were many “multiple apartment complex owners” at that same CU, they were notably colder and exclusively about numbers (i.e. throwing a fit and sending another appraiser to their barely functional building to get a dozen k).

Fuck this gave me the craziest mental whiplash!! My dad watched a ton of movies w/ me and I inevitably told my childhood teacher that “my favorite movie was XXX” thinking it was the most badass shit ever.

On that note, for such a prideful dude he wore some goofy shit

Eh, all the time. “I’ll relax when I’m dead” was a constant montra but there’s no evidence to that. Chances are there’s even no relief, just suffering until you get to the void. Then nothing. Not even the perception of nothing.

I dunno. It’s those pits where you find the reason to keep grooving in this weird life soup we got going on. It’s all we get in the end, and sadly there are rarely obvious obvious signs on what to do. Best we can do is keep grooving until the void takes ya. Hopefully they remember you fondly

Sorry for the word vomit, I’m standing in the rain trying to fix my broken window after someone tried to break into my car…

Best of luck man, feel free to message or something if you need it. Depression is a bitch (been swimming in it for 20 years) and it’s nice to have company

Computer, make me feel again

It immediately replaced connect for me. Absolutely incredible. I think I’ll have to pick around for some actual feedback, but that’s a damn good sign so early.

Love the layout, organization and it’s immediately captured my entire Lemmy usage.

Fucking loving it, bringing back the early internet nostalgia

Never really posted before Lemmy and feel the need to express how much I enjoy this platform

It was a fucking gold mine. I get that there’s computer costs to generating this beauty, but ffs the “energy” phone app structure rubs me the wrong way.

Thankfully I got simplediffusion locally, just takes forever

Same. A lot of the communities I loved had already left so it made it worlds easier. Honestly, my first frolick with Lemmy, kbin, and mastodon really have me more excited to see what comes out of all this
