Hello, I’m just another Redditor exploring the lemmy.world
No need for milk crates, just take out all of the beer and use the carton as the stand then lean the TV against the wall. Put the chair in its lowest setting and you’re good
If the carton is too flimsy, down a couple beers and put them in the carton standing up on both sides
I’m from Asia and honestly it’s really tiring to hear people keep making fun of Americans.
It was never funny to bring up shit like children fucking dying from school shootings in a snarky comment, and I think any reasonable person with actual, genuine concern for the world’s problems understands that if all we had to do was give, everyone would well have fucking received already.
I heard from some incredibly unreliable source that people do this because they don’t get told that they’re doing a good job enough. For what it’s worth you’re all doing great
Well now I’m going to expect something surprising
“By the way, I’m not too sure if this deal will last until after your afternoon nappies, so you should probably think about when you’re gonna pick this up! I mean, what a waste it would be, right? Remember Mr. Sprinklemuffins?”
Yeah I agree, I don’t think it’s all luck either. But I do paint him in a bad light for not doing well with what he had in his hands. I’ll probably never know what kinds of unseen pressure one tends to experience as a billionaire but he’s really not doing well, to put it kindly.
Waluigi hentai, so disgusting and so sinful.
Where do people even find that? Is there a link or something? So nasty, Waluigi hentai
Of all the answers I’ve gotten I think yours was the one that made it the most clear to me with its specificity. Thanks for helping me understand *a lot *more than I expected
Alright so I’m getting that letting the steam out unburdens you with the emotions you feel from the problem. Another reply said people feel understood when their pain is known, would you say it’s the same feeling here or does it branch off a little bit?
Sorry I don’t really talk or vent a lot in real life so it’s something I’m still trying to understand
Okay this makes sense. I didn’t realize that people feel tend to feel better when their pain is understood. Maybe I should give it a try sometime. Thanks for opening up my brain!
See, I get that this is a thing, but I don’t understand why you just want someone to listen. What does sitting here, looking you in the eye and opening my ears, specifically do to make you feel better about the problem you’re having?
I’ve had the same experiences actually. It’s also a lot more common (at least from what I’ve experienced) to find people being more composed here even in the face of some divisive or provocative content.

Thanks for the new term I learned today
Did we ever want to be cool to teenagers?
The most original joke in here (not being sarcastic)
I’m sorry, I’m not sure if it’s my lack of sleep or a reading comprehension issue on my end but I don’t understand your question. Though to answer it literally, English is so influential in my country that our schools tend to speak, read, and write in English more often than our native languages. If you speak English well, it’s likely that you’ll be regarded as a high-class individual by a good chunk of people here.
Unfortunately, that has threatened our own identity - to our people’s cultural detriment and annoyance - as you’ll probably see via English public discourse on American social media interwebs… which is why I’m saying, hey, why don’t we stop paying attention to what the US is doing every now and then? I mean, how’s Ukraine been really? What’s happening with their EU membership? Maybe if the US wasn’t always on the world stage they can actually participate more authentically and we can stop defaulting to making fun of kids dying in schools as a counterpoint, you know? It’s messed up wherever it happens.
Fair, I suppose because the US tends to be belittled so often online so I never made the connection to those sizable facts. It’s a bit too much still though, don’t you think? News about the US somehow always taking over headlines? The world always looks at the US. There’s always something about Elon Musk or the American government even on Lemmy’s “non-Reddit-exodus” instances. When Apple releases a new phone, people won’t stop talking about it positively and negatively. Europe does a better job with most things yet it’s less common to find them in the spotlight.
To be fair, the US always seems to be the center of attention anywhere you go. Why that is exactly, I don’t know. I mean for fuck’s sake, I live all the way out in bumfuck Asia and somehow news about American pop culture makes it here better than my local news does most of the time.
I’m not belittling America’s problems but sometimes I feel like people can benefit from being made aware that too much exposure to anything - like criticism of other countries - is detrimental to our world view. It’s literally The Cultivation Theory at work.
At some point you’re just so tired that comfort and time is much less of a factor, I mean I feel like I can fall asleep anyti
