I'm happy to be a part of that demographic. My upbringing only contributed to my irreligiosity.

I prefer plant-based milk over dairy, it tastes better and it lasts longer. I tried plant based milk years ago and never went back. I've tried cashew, macadamia, rice, soy, almond, coconut, oat, and sunflower. Some of my favorites are vanilla almond, dark chocolate almond and cashew, vanilla macadamia, and vanilla coconut. My family still buys dairy milk, but we always bought plant-based butter. I buy cream cheese to use as bread spread.

Reddit killing off 3rd party apps. Also Lemmy feels more free as I don't need a set amount of karma to be able to submit a post or comment. I had a lurker account on Reddit that was verified and everything, but there were times when I wanted to post and when I did only I could see my comment.

Indigenous Peoples' Day

I drive a 2015 Chevy Spark, the gas version. The ev version was discontinued in 2016, the gas version was discontinued in 2022. The Chevy Sonic, a similar, but slightly larger model was discontinued in 2020. The Chevy Bolt, an ev and larger, but still compact model and a successor to the Spark and Sonic was discontinued this year. It's become apparent that most Americans do not like small cars. I don't think much can be done to make small cars likable here, I'd love to be able to drive a car like the Honda E, but there's no market for it here.

Honestly good. There are plenty of used and pre-owned vehicles that just need minor repairs or tune-ups. I drive a used 2015 Chevy Spark, financed it back in 2022 and it's nearly paid off. My car only needed a new battery, new tires, and an oil change. My mom on the other hand financed a new luxury Acura RDX back in 2018 as an upgrade from her 2006 Honda CRV, she's still making payments to this day. I asked why she didn't get a newer Honda CRV and she said that she didn't want the same vehicle as a McDonald's worker.

I remember when a lady tried to scam me into an MLM at a job fair I attended several years ago.

Fellow Floridian here. I hope we can get someone better after DeSantis' term limit is up. We live in one of the most climate change prone regions and a region where environmental changes mean a great deal.

The general population is more educated now than in the past, but education alone is not what makes one an intellectual, or rather a good intellectual. Having intellectual virtues what makes one a good intellectual, imo. These virtues include intellectual humility, intellectual courage, intellectual curiosity, intellectual honesty, and intellectual responsibility.

I live with my folks in a gated community. There's still dog poop on the sidewalks and in the grass even though there are designated dog poop disposal stations with bags and bins all across the community.

When I was younger, gaming was all I did as it was my only hobby and I didn't have many friends. I'd play the same 5-6 games since my catalog was small and my folk weren't keen to buy more. I didn't care much about graphics, performance, or length. I was also more of a completionist, searched for collectables, completed challenges and time trials, and completed side quests. Nowadays, I have a larger gaming library. I own hundreds of games on Steam, but I've hardly played a handful of them. Over time I've realized that I play games for killing time more than anything else. I've become more conscious of how I'm spending my free time and now I spend my free time doing other things.

It didn't immediately click with me when I joined that ML meant Marxist Leninist even I used to be one.

Today's my birthday. Work went well today.

Learned how to properly pirate. I was still streaming and using direct downloads before I learned about torrenting and Qbitorrent.

It's similar to how some people don't put their cart into a cart corral after loading their groceries even though the corral is nearby. I just boil it down to laziness and apathy at that point.

I prefer Lemmy, it's a smaller community and I like the fact that you don't need karma to make a comment or post. I still lurk Reddit every now and then, but only for information about my interests, I don't comment or post.

Mid 20s gen z here. I'll be sure to vote for Biden. All in all he's pretty alright in my book. Sure things could be better, but that's going to take a bit more time, hopefully his successors will be better.

Or you could just live and let live, fam. Why be so judgmental?

Best: Casual work environment, Monday-Friday work schedule, Day shift

Worst: Small businesses shenanigans and problems like lack of health insurance and occasional late paychecks to name a few. The workplace is dysfunctional. There are very little safety standards. There is a complete and utter inventory mismanagement problem. There are no standardized procedures, especially for training. There is difficulty in hiring new and retaining new employees. The long time employees are leaving due to retirement, health issues, or just utter frustration and dissatisfaction, and they're taking all of their knowledge and experience with them.

Some long-timers recently quit, including the business owner's son who's also the person who hired me. They quit because they were doing the jobs of multiple people and having more responsibilities and job duties tacked on to them. Even the IT guy is trying to fix the inventory situation at the off-site warehouse even though the business owner said he was looking to hire an inventory specialist.

I don't think dating apps are for me. Previous relationships did not work out. Despite having similar interests we were very incompatible. Filters do very little when people aren't being entirely truthful. For example, last person's profile said she never smokes and only drinks socially, but she smoked weed, vaped, and drank daily.

I want to go back to the traditional ways of meeting people, but I don't like night life activities. I hear that volunteering and church are good ways to meet people in person. I'm also going to attend some upcoming local events featuring some of my interests.

Floridian here. My mom currently has Citizenship Insurance. Her rates will increase by about 11.5% by the end of the year.

It's a reference to human cannibalism. I found it interesting that humans taste similar to pork. I'm just weird like that.

Florida, US. We're facing multiple crises at once; an affordability crisis, an environmental crisis, and a political crisis. Homeowners insurance rates are going up with many companies leaving the state. Car insurance rates are increasing. Rent prices, housing prices, and mortgage rates are increasing. Our state is facing multiple environmental issues such as deforestation, pollution, and invasive species. Climate change will greatly impact our state, but our governor thinks it's woke.

Older gen z here, I definitely fall into that category. Many factors have contributed to it.

Fried eggs, I eat it for breakfast every morning.

Yeah, I work in a warehouse. It's pretty dusty in there. I don't want all of the dirt and grime to end up in my bed.

Fellow Floridian here. I appreciate what I've learned in school, but it feels like they were preparing us for an ideal world that never existed. Things are especially bleak here in Florida with the affordability crisis, the environmental crisis, and the political crisis.

Your actions, whether good or bad, will eventually affect you. Luck, which is defined as the factors that are beyond your control, such as genetics, family upbringing, and place of birth, is a major determining factor in life.

I use Ebay as an alternative for some purchases, but I primarily use Amazon.

I know some hate this term, but class reductionism is a very apt descriptor for their take.
