I assume closely related hominids which are now extinct. Neanderthal DNA is present in current human strains, which means they didn’t even speciate (though potentially successful gestation was rarer).

Why am I writing like an alien nerd observing humans?

Military service is traumatising, but can build up a nest egg of funds, so to speak. If your trauma doesn’t turn into a self-reinforcing cycle, you’re in a better position than most in our society (materially, not morally). It lends itself to falling in one extreme or another.

That said, I imagine there’s a decent number of people who get regular jobs in the middle that you never hear about. Just the people at the bottom get the whole “they sacrificed their mental health and their life, why can’t we help them” signal boost

The “dogs are boys, cats are girls” one is a very common answer to this question on reddit.

Australia, we had to ask until uni

Yeah, welfare here is mostly app/phone based. You can technically get around it, but it requires visiting a dwindling number of centres very regularly and waiting in long queues.

Next to the exhaust vent of the local underground commuter rail (is that a metro or subway? It’s only for one stop). It got quite cold and vent provided a warm breeze. It was the last spot that night where security didn’t push me along from

My highest share ratio is 278 for a 1 GB rip of death bed lol

For zionists, at least, that has been true for a very long time >.>

Word for word my answer

TSA sounds nightmarish to me

Wait? What’s the reason? Like, the tld is for Mali, but lemmy and lemmygrad use it as “marxist-leninist” as a joke. Or at least that’s what I thought the story was

For whatever reason, I’ve seen fascists try to claim they are not fascists because they haven’t done anything yet or are not close to the levers of power.

Why would anyone care about what other people have as desktop wallpaper? I don’t even look at my own wallpaper that much

Always fun when you get a string of good carpentry or gardening tips

I found I couldn’t do it. I have a set of traumas that means I go into a weird fugue state where I massively undercharge by an order of magnitude and take on every liability. I think it’s some sort of rejection dissociation thingy, or like just trying to end the situation as quickly as possible. This meant I had made very little money and promised a lot, and also came to hate my hobby.

Now that I have a job, the stakes are much lower, I get regular pay, and I also pretty much never have to negotiate directly with clients.

It took a really long time to get that job though, given that job searching also requires skills I do not have

I miss doing this. I pretty much stopped inviting people over once some housemates reacted really badly to it

I remember for quite a while, the only thing keeping me going was spite. The worst people in the country wanted me dead (or at least starving in the street), so I had to keep hanging on or they’d win

Gave it a shot this morning, I could see myself missing buses. However, I do really dislike mobile interfaces. My thumb is too wide to reliably click things

Humans like talking about themselves and relating their experiences to those they’re talking to.

Someone once paid me to poke them with a stick every time I caught them not doing their assignments. Offloading executive functioning onto someone else can work
