Mine? As miserable as ever. My little bro wanted to go to a little comic con thing, is just not my vibe, felt surrounded by people in weird costumes is just… Thankfully I was there for like half an hour.
You got to spend some time with your brother. He’ll remember that.
Dude I’m like double his age. He’s a teenager and I’m not, that’s it.
I’m 40, my siblings are 19 and 23 and 41. They all appreciate hanging out.
I don’t tbh. I have my own problems
Hey man, I hope you grip those problems by the nuts and tell them to f— off.
Good luck to you, bud. 🥊❤️
Ok
Aw. Well I tried.
? I don’t get it
Then why half ass it in the first place? If you’re double his age then I would expect you to have enough life experience to fake your enthusiasm, or to have enough perspective that an awkward 30 minutes with someone you supposedly care about wouldn’t be worth complaining about online to strangers.
I don’t, I’m anti social. And I’m always honest, I don’t like fake people or to fake myself.
That’s unfortunate for you both.
Sounds like you finally have a chance to be the adult in a room. Could be a fun, new experience for you!
I had a job interview Friday and no one was there to interview me. Apparently HR dropped the ball. It’s 110 outside and I’m homeless and living out of a car atm. We had thunderstorms which meant rolling up the windows. I only have a few bucks left and therefore cannot run the AC because of gas. Once the storms were over it was back to 110 but with nearly 100% humidity and even more sweating. I’m currently stealing WiFi to write this out and I’m hungry AF. So yea, bummer about your 30 minutes.
There are mutual aid communities on lemmy where you might be able to find someone willing to send you some cash through an app. Good luck.
Yeah it was a weird experience.
Yes that sounds like nothing compared to the hellish experience of being forced to go to comic con.
I think you’re making fun of me but trust me it was not ok
“Making fun” isn’t quite right, but they were definitely being sarcastic. I think people throughout this thread are encouraging you to be less self-absorbed so that you can 1. Enjoy things around you without feeling like you’re being judged for it, and 2. Develop empathy for those you interact with.
I know it seems trite, but it’s important to realize that social interactions are way more fun if you pay attention to other people and are curious about them.
It really sounds trite. I just don’t think I’ll ever change. I’m aware enough that I’m not emphatic. That’s just isn’t me and I almost never enjoy things, even the things I do for myself.

Sorry for your loss.
I’m very sorry. It’s so hard to lose them.
Ngl this is one of the reasons I never wanted any pet after reaching adulthood.
Rip to the dogs.

Very sorry dude(tte). These are tough moments :(
I had a cookout at my house, had maybe 15 people over, lots of drinking, lots of swimming. I just got a new grill for the party and it was nice to cook on. Today I’m working 12 hours which is annoying but that’s life.
Bro here acting like a lil bro with his lil bro
The Left ranked first at the elections in France, so suddenly much, much better than the expected brown/black outcome.
And Labour won a landslide in the UK! Good stuff!
Politics… Too dumb to understand them and honestly don’t care to vote about anything. Everyone’s corrupt anyways.
Despite corruption, try looking for which parties spread the least hatred. That’s a good start, surely?
Usually never win lol
Hello,
I see you are a new account, feel free to join !casualconversation@lemm.ee , we have a lot of those threads
It’s not a new account. It’s a serial ban evader who is on like his 6th account because he keeps getting banned from asklemmy for acting like an incel
This makes so much sense. This person sounds insufferable on so many levels.
Every time he posts, he responds to every reply being dismissive and shitty. He literally can’t say the words “woman” or “relationship” without adding on “which I will never get to experience”. Whenever anyone tries to give him actionable advice like therapy or ways to improve his mindset, he shuts them down.
No thank you bot
Dude did you just call Blaze a bot
You can’t deny it really “sounded” like one
They’re not a bot, just a very zealous mod trying to keep traffic and posts happening in some smaller communities.
Most lemmy apps and front ends also identify bot accounts with a bot icon next to the username.
Sync does this. Although I think it might not be too accurate, because I think I’ve seen one or two actual accounts with the bot icon
It’s a setting you can change in your lemmy profile, and having the bot setting turned on doesn’t stop you from posting manually.
I’m not sure if it goes the other way around though so bad-faith bot posts pretending to be real people could probably still happen if the bot setting is never enabled.
Edit: just to be clear Blaze is definitely not a bot but I don’t think bots necessarily have to have the bot icon.
My spouse and I rode our motorcycles from the Midwest to the East Coast over Thursday and Friday. We’ve spent the weekend hanging out with family and friends that we haven’t seen in months. It’s been a good time and we’ll be here for the rest of the week.
That sounds both cool and terrifying.
Depends, I guess.
Are they riding fast Moto Guzzis? Really terrifying but also a lot of fun I imagine. Big, slow-ish Harleys? Not that terrifying, also pretty fun and damn cool IMO.
Why terrifying?
I went to a small (~30 people) festival dedicated to wood carving, because I was asked if a wanted to cook for everyone. Found it very inspiring to get an impression of that very specific sub culture.

Far far too short, though did have a mates birthday so that was fun
Removed by mod
Congratulations!!!
A working fridge is a great thing!
That sounds interesting enough.
I went to Vienna to see Kraftwerk and it was really great. Vienna itself is a bit shitty though IMO
Got the air conditioner mounted in the bedroom in time for the heatwave. Now to take a quick afternoon nap and then work on the fence.
My weekend was interesting. Opened my gaming mouse to swap the left mouse button switch since mine had started doing random double clicks. Discovered the battery was building pressure. Kinda a pain because it’s still sitting disassembled while I wait for a new battery, but I’m glad I did find it like that instead of it eventually starting a fire when the package ruptured.
Oh also apparently some spiders successfully mated in my place and the spiderlings hatched on Saturday. I’ve relaxed my “catch and release, no kill” rule for spiders until further notice, though the one bigger one that showed up last night still got that. Looking around, I don’t see any right now. Guessing I’ve killed like 40 so far. Apparently it’ll take them a week or two to starve, assuming they don’t catch some of the few bugs in here.
