I root for the underated Beatles songs.

For me it is essentially a tie between

I Don’t Want to Spoil the Party and I’m Looking Through You

Look at a picture of Richard Simmons in a speedo. That should do it.

Maybe some are waiting for Boost or other 3rd party apps but there will likely not be a super big number coming over. Apparently doom scrolling is preferred for a large swath of Gen Zers

Need to focus on improving these communities and being active/creative especially in building niche communities on Lemmy.

I see so many communities created with just a link or two posted weekly by community creator. That kind of activity gives Lemmy a bad look.

Swimming is much easier when learning at a young age.

For Heiden? Absolutely! Way more then many athletes do in regular civilian life…

Eric Heiden 5 gold medals at just 21 years old. Retired shortly afterward to dabble in cycling and then become a mundane orthepedic surgeon.

Also Jerry Mather’s aka ‘The Beaver’ still milking his long ago celebrity decades later.

Fundamental architecture? Being adverse to making environmentally conscious decisions is a choice. When other solutions are available fundamental architecture sounds more like a cop out to me.

Go back to 1966 and attend a Yardbirds concert with Jimmy Page AND Jeff Beck on the same stage in their primes.

If a large percentage of people can’t even utilize resuable bags for their groceries we’re already screwed. So much apathy and people not really committed to take even the smallest of steps to help our environment.

Was, is and continues to be giving a shit about people that inertia has a strong foothold upon. Trying to help and communicate with others that their idea of a conversation is two word retorts.

Someone that in a workplace environment and say your job is packaging and 30 years ago there may be a little friendly banter sporadically throughout the shift. Now a sizeable segment of the working crowd will just wear headphones all day. Someone that has little situational awareness of doing a small task that helps the greater good of the group instead is eagerly awaiting the next episode of their favorite online video.

People now use all kinds of crutches why they cannot do something.

“I have social anxiety.” “I need a mental day off.”

Waiting to asked/told to do something rather then being AWARE, PRESENT, & ENGAGED.

And on the rare chance that one may initiate a convo there is a high likelihood that this individual needs a favor from you or something.

I realize our world is in a hyper-chaotic state and as my Dad would say, "going to hell in a hand basket but dang this communication deficit is making the experience even shittier when you’d think it couldn’t get any worse.

This has been my experience and have heard from several others who have had a very similar experience.

I know what you mean within seconds my post would be downvoted. Its either a downvote bot or a rude moderator. Lemmy is a breath of fresh air.

Same except for me its BoostforReddit.
