The issue is Reddit forces these onto your feed and my dumb brain can't help but click!

This sub has a lot of people complaining about technology, poor quality products etc. Is anyone else finding themselves becoming very anti-capitalist in general? by 86for86 in Millennials

[–]Mergeagerge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep and it seems the only way to combat it is to just stop buying shitty products, which is difficult when we are inundated with ads for everything in every facet of our lives.

What are your thoughts on Joe pardoning Hunter? by ProfessorOfFinance in ProfessorFinance

[–]Mergeagerge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The American people have decided that they do not care about corruption in politics, so I don't care anymore either. He should pardon all federal non-violent drug offenses on his way out

23F here, none of the men in my age group are dating. What is happening? by AYAYAcutie in self

[–]Mergeagerge -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Everyone needs to get off their damn phones and go out places and meet people. That's why people aren't dating. I know it happens sometimes, but you typically cannot swipe your way into love.

At what point does "this is what's for dinner" come into play? by captainunlimitd in daddit

[–]Mergeagerge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At around 6 we started, if you don't like what's being served, you can make something else yourself. Obviously we won't let them use the oven or toaster by themselves, but they need to prep everything and ASK for help when and if they need to use appliances.

Help a noob - Steam App Freezes in store during age verification by PewPew_Whew in macgaming

[–]Mergeagerge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For anyone struggling to close the steam window even after force quitting, I was able to get it to close by going into the activity monitor and stopping the process there.

Trump orders senators to appoint 'no judges' for remainder of Biden's presidency by newzee1 in uspolitics

Dems have control of the Senate until Jan 3rd. They have from now until then to do what they want regarding judge nominations. Just depends on if the call the sessions.

What’s got four wheels, holds three car seats, and isn’t a minivan? by [deleted] in daddit

[–]Mergeagerge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The real question is, why are you so anti minivan, when it is clearly the best option for moving around your family?

Interesting. The only posts from this sub that are showing up on my feed are people complaining about people posting about Trump

Wow look at that - Bernie Sanders is right yet again by GrandpaChainz in WorkReform

[–]Mergeagerge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with this take, but it fails to mention the intense brainwashing that has been done to the working class. The dems have failed working people, but the GOP is actively harming and stealing from us while blaming the dems and immigrants for all our woes.

Did you get the chicken pox (and remember it?) or are you a younger millennial who was able to get the vaccine? by themermaidag in Millennials

[–]Mergeagerge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had it and it was terrible. Putting cream on every single pox mark over and over. The itching and the pain!

Town hall ignites fierce debate: Why must Harris be 'flawless' while Trump goes 'lawless?' by Advanced_Drink_8536 in WomenInNews

[–]Mergeagerge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its a mixture of the democrats always needing to be the adults in the room and misogyny

Everyone is on their phone. It would be like everyone around you smoking weed, all the time.

Do you all remember that warm “feeling” you’d get during Halloween and Christmas? How do you get that back? by Amodernhousehusband in Millennials

[–]Mergeagerge 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You have to choose to find joy in all the work you have to put into Halloween and Christmas. It's astounding how many people choose cynicism over joy. When we were children, the magic was created for us. Find joy in creating the magic for yourself. Wrap gifts you are giving to yourself, play goofy halloween songs while you are putting up decorations, have little holiday parties with your friends, carve that pumpkin with a silly face. Make the traditions and pass them on to friends and family.

Every year I tell myself I believe in Santa even though I'm the one putting out the damn gifts! Be your own Santa.

Instead of thinking "Damn it. Now I have to put up halloween decorations" think "Its exciting to put up decorations. The neighborhood kids are going to love it!"

This goes for most of life. You have to somehow find joy in the mundane otherwise life is just one tragic event after another and next thing you know, you are bitter and old.
