I have a keyboard that lights up because I like to type in the dark and my dexterity isn’t what it used to be but that’s about it. I would’ve preferred a solid color but RGB was all I found. Not a bad for $20, it’s a solid steel frame

Oh, right. No the “gamer ascetic” is garish as fuck. I just want something that works.

Blanket is super comfy so if it’s cool enough, yes. If I’m going to be swimming in ball sweat soup an hour after falling asleep it’s sans blanket time

It’s specifically a (shitty) intimidation move. “Don’t downvote me again or a mod/admin will happen.” Pretty pathetic as far as intimidation moves go but that’s keyboard warriors for you.

People have a right to exist and society has a responsibility to care for those who cannot work. The whole point of society is to ensure the health and well being of their members as a WHOLE. If a society cannot or will not care for their elderly or infirm then that is a failed society.

Ah well, unfortunately the community name is set, there’s no changing it after it’s created. Maybe I should’ve made it more searchable but hopefully we can spread it by word of mouth enough where it’ll take off. Also I kinda wanted it less intimidating clinical sterile sounding and more just a homey place where people can feel safe to talk openly, just a li’l reprieve from the outside world.

Connect is wonderful! Posting from that. I don’t know if they have an iOS version but I’m on Android. Very much like RiF, feels familiar

You can share them to fellow humans here now /c/reprieve@lemmy.zip

Well if you give up before you start just because the existing options are shitty then that makes you part of the problem, doesn’t it?

Yeeah agreed. So this is specifically not gonna be about that and if I see any of that shit it’s getting nixed… I just want all these guys who have no where to turn to to…well, have somewhere to turn to. Each other.

Too bad for them I made one

The amount of sexism in this comment section is…unnerving. Does a community exist for male identifying people to talk and share their troubles in a non hostile space? If it doesn’t I’ll make one.

Edit: No idea what I’m doing but !Reprieve@lemmy.zip

I’m here to talk if you need an ear man, I understand you and it sounds like you’ve been through your own personal brand of shit

Edit: Made a com where you can talk more freely without judgement /c/reprieve@lemmy.zip

If you really honestly don’t understand why what you said was horrible I’m willing to have a conversation with you if you want to DM me to talk about it. For starters, men feel scared and uncomfortable because their serious problems will get made light of just like you did. Or told to “man up”. Which I imagine was on the tip of your tongue

This response is why men feel scared and uncomfortable opening up. You are a part of the problem. For your male family members’ sake, I hope you check in on them instead of just being sexist online.

Alternate title “Men so starved of sources of support they resort to talking to AI”

Edit: have started a new com for men to talk to each other instead of AI !Reprieve@lemmy.zip

RIP home server, you will be missed

When I was a kid we once had a snow storm so bad it took out the entire (small) town’s power. People huddled up in the mayor’s house because he had a working genny. When the adults had to go out they had to wear goggles or your eyes would start freezing in your skull. Yaaaa Minnesota

I’d take single digit temperatures over 80+ even, let alone 100+, that’s insane, I’m northern born so I start melting around 80, I would die at 100. Hell I’d take double digit negative temperatures only over triple digits
