I’m always curious because I stopped carrying a purse as it made me feel more femme than I like, and since then I’ve wondered how dudes get through the day with only their pockets.
Mostly lurking. United States southerner, gay, working retail. An amazing combination

'93, younger end of millennial.
Not big on generation labels though, they feel like a failed experiment. People are born every day of every year and our experiences overlap in a gradient. They don’t separate into distinct portions.
The baby boom was an actual phenomenon, but every label afterwards feels arbitrary.
Short of a birth year in their username, I’m not sure there is one. Almost everything in this thread is something millennials inflict on me daily.
I have family in their 30s and 40s who do that 😭 I wonder if people subconsciously trust TikTokers more than other social media users since they usually show their faces.
Ugh, the second one… I used to lurk on relationship subreddits instead of just watching soap operas like a normal person, and it’s wild how quickly people jump to divorce. And if the OP makes an update where they talked it out, a lot of the commenters get mad.
I don’t know that they’re kids, but it wouldn’t surprise me.
Oh yeah also should have fucked that lil fry cook
My mom let all her kids go to school while living at home and paying very little towards bills. I really wanted to, but my older siblings convinced me not to. They couldn’t drive, so they’d have to drop out, and it’s not fair for the younger one to go to school first. But if I wait my turn, they’ll be able to help me.
Yeahhhh, my turn never came. I got disillusioned and moved out. I could never afford to go to school now. I don’t think any of them ever used their degrees anyway.
Every day I wish I’d told them to shove it, and done what I wanted to do.
Even our “relatable” characters never deal with housing insecurity, and their cars may have rust and dents but they’re reliable.
I feel ya. I very rarely replace my devices and the internet speeds suck where I live anyway, so 720p is my go-to.
In my brain 720 is standard and 1080 is fancy, until I watch something at a friend’s house and sometimes it looks so good it’s unsettling
OK so That Vegan Teacher shouldn’t really factor into the question because nothing she says is related to reality
Oh shit, I didn’t even think about that. What the hell.
I like hiking! I personally stick to easy/intermediate trails because I’m just there to enjoy the foliage and the animals, but it’s a nice use of extra time and energy.
Been trying to find a group to explore some of the riskier trails with because I know I’m missing some beautiful views, but yknow… scheduling
Wrestling, I’m not sure about, but a lot of people platonically snuggle. A lot of it is cultural and also down to your upbringing, but not everyone sees physical affection as something you can only get out of romantic relationships.
Isn’t that true for all kinds of jobs, not just sex work?
This sucks for so many. People use timestamps for content warnings or to help viewers avoid spoilers. Commenters use timestamps when talking about the content of the video. It’s insane to change this once it’s so ingrained in how people use the website.
My niece is starting to get old enough that, even if I leave a note asking them to tell her I was in an accident, I think she’d catch on. We’re not super close but I’m not sure what it does to a kid’s psych to learn people in their family can do that. I have VERY strong feelings about people who refuse to protect children, so unfortunately I’m here for a while.
Yeah. I come from a family of hoarders, and I’m a little cluttery myself. I always worry that I’ll die unexpectedly and they’ll be unable to part with god knows what random shit they find in my apartment. If I knew when I was gonna die, I’d schedule someone to come help me trash my belongings the day before. I’d set aside the actually nice stuff for them, but no one needs to convince themselves that a broken USB drive I used to keep porn on or a torn up canvas is super sentimental and they need to hold onto it forever.
I have a love/hate relationship with summer. Climate change has made it so I don’t even want to go outside… but they schedule all the fun things in the summer! Local concerts! Farmers market! Outdoor movies! Craft festivals! Carnivals! I love all those things, I just hate sweating!
So summer is probably my least favorite, but also my favorite.
If you’re REALLY sure that ignoring the day would open the floodgates for retaliation, I’d text him or give a generic card. If he’s just gonna be angry and bitch at you, let him be angry and block his number.
If you’re currently in an abusive situation and possibly in harms way I think this might be beyond Lemmy’s paygrade, since we don’t know what sets him off. But it’s OK to play nice for the short term if it keeps you safe long enough to escape.
Keychain on my belt loop, plus mace.
Phone and wallet in back pockets, utility knife and earbuds in side pockets.
Other stuff I need frequently like bug spray, sunblock, power bank, extra sketchbook and selfie stick (not necessarily for selfies, I just like photography) are in a backpack in my passenger seat.
