I’m not really interested in oil changes, but my Chevy bolt is chugging along just fine. Anything but Tesla.

I can feel this.

That’s fair, I personally wouldn’t use the word spiritual for those things either, but I think it just comes down to a difference of opinion.

Interesting, how do you define spirituality?

I personally don’t think something is spiritual just because it can’t be measured.

Oh I’m certainly not advocating for forcing anyone to get rid of their religion (I’m not advocating for anything at all). It just struck me as interesting that you can’t imagine a world without it.

I cannot imagine the world without religion, as human beings tend to be spiritual

I’m curious about this. I was raised somewhat religiously, but at this point, I can’t imagine myself with religion, or spirituality, or any of it. Why do you think it’s so essential?

But you see then Denmark actually started the war because Trump didn’t actually say “war.” Because yeah. That’s how that works.

Yeah. I don’t use tiktok so this doesn’t affect me, but the only reason I’m here is that during the whole reddit API fiasco (which, to be honest, as a non-tech savvy person I still don’t completely understand), someone posted a link to beehaw and it seemed like a breath of fresh air, so I joined. I had no idea what Lemmy was at the time, and I still really only have a vague idea of what federation actually means.

There are a lot of people on Lemmy who seem to assume that no one worth knowing has a life that doesn’t involve a large amount of time on their computer, and that’s just silly. I’m grateful for the people who do have the know-how to build this space, but a healthy community of people is going to include a large variety of knowledge and experience.

Sorry for the tangent in reply to your comment; it’s just been on my mind for a bit. 😅

I’m the same way! I think it’s because I’m friends with enough full on extroverts that my social battery fills up without me trying before I ever reach the point of thinking, “Hey, I’d like to chat / hang out with someone. I should reach out.”

Right, I’d be down for a tofu sandwich but why like that???

I guess it depends on your definition of “good” and “sucks.” Salt and vinegar kettle chips definitely aren’t nutritious, but as far as my tastes go, they are fucking good and definitely don’t suck.

Tbf, I strongly relate to your top comment and am mostly not autistic, so I think it was worth putting out there.

Nah, Walter lives on the other side of town.

Right? This doesn’t read as satire, but I’m baffled how anyone could write this with a straight face.

Echoing the other comments here. It was right about when I hit 30 that I really started trying to live the life that I want for myself. I still have mental health issues to work through, and sometimes it’s been two steps forward, one step back, but at 37 I can honestly say it’s been an overall positive trajectory.

As someone whose grandma lived in Dunlap, I can smell this comment.
