Nice! I had a 1995 Accord coupe, a 2005 Accord coupe, and a 2015 Accord coupe. Loved those cars, amazing daily drivers that had a splash of fun and style. It’s truly a tragedy they discontinued it.
WRXs are rad, excellent choices! A friend of mine rented a Model 3 Performance and took me for a ride in it. The acceleration is absurd!
I tried to lean into that as well, something like nothing matters so you can do whatever makes you happy! I couldn’t quiet get it to work for myself, but I know several very happy people living by that philosophy.
The koi pond + pets solution definitely sounds like the right move! Having pets during the pandemic kept me sane.
If you don’t mind me asking, what kind of fun car did you get and what are you thinking of getting? I’m a big car guy and love hearing about people’s cars :D
Yep, that lines up pretty well with my experience! Glad to know I have a kindred spirit, haha
I was dealing with some pretty intense nihilism after my beloved dog passed away. I had thoughts like “Why put effort into anything when in 100/1000/10000 years everything I love and care about will be dead, gone, and forgotten?” It’s a terrible philosophy to have and live with, incredibly depressing. I was able to escape mine through meditation with some chemical assistance. Realized that just because things don’t last forever doesn’t mean they don’t have meaning. The fact that we’re alive and conscious, experiencing things everyday, means our lives have value. The cosmic odds of us existing here and now are staggering, we’re so lucky to be alive! So, to me the value is in the experiences, in the day to day.

Does yours feel like an unwanted guest arriving in your consciousness? Like you feel it arrive before you even start having anxious thoughts?
You should look into the effects on causality of going faster than the speed of light. If you can send information faster than the speed of light all kinds of wacky paradoxes show their heads. I used to believe what you did, that with time and knowledge we could overcome the speed of light. But after learning more about our universe I don’t think that’s the case anymore. I enjoyed this video on the topic https://youtu.be/an0M-wcHw5A
Ooh! Ooh! snaps picture
One of Lemmy’s first trolls!
Oh yeah, 100% agree. It’s insane it isn’t a top priority to me. I would have to imagine the powers that be have little to no interest in that kind of change. The world would be a much better place with ranked choice voting though, maybe someday!
Ooooor we could push for ranked choice voting, haha
Unfortunately in a first past the post system voting third party is little more than throwing your vote away, or even worse taking it away from a candidate who you support that actually has a chance of winning
I read there are some issues with pre 0.18 versions of Lemmy with the latest versions of Jerboa. It should be fixed soon though, and an update as big as 0.18 for Lemmy should be rare in the future
Give it the decade+ that Relay has had to be developed and I bet Jerboa will be really awesome :)
Jerboa for android and Mlem for iOS are already out and getting better everyday!
This post and your comment gave me nostalgia overload. I lived in a rural area growing up in the late 90s and early 00s and I was absolutely infatuated with the internet and things like the .hack games that emulated being connected. Played soooo much of that game
Oh, that sounds like an excellent excuse to reply the base game before the DLC!
I haven’t been paying super close attention to the DLC or its story so I can play it fresh, but I can reccomend the base game. I really enjoyed it on its own, very good story that was very well written and voice acted. It lacks the sandbox polish that something like GTA has, but has an incredible story, character ensemble, and the world building is top tier.
I’m stoked for the DLC to drop so I can get some of these features and more story!
