It’s called the Peter Principle.

Worth watching, but only watch in English if you think you can get over the dubious dub. After a few episodes it mostly stops bothering you, but it’s probably better to watch in Korean with subtitles if you’re sensitive to that.

The real issues? Social anxiety, general guilt and regret about the past, the acceptance and occasional pain in knowing that I’ll never have a partner.

But the situation has been the same for about a decade and I’ve moved past the point where it bothers me other than acute episodes. I’m fortunate enough to have a good job and enough money that I don’t have to worry about housing or food, and aside from work I can basically do whatever I want (the positive side of “no partner”). I have hobbies and am going to start traveling soon and work keeps me busy, so I don’t really have grounds to complain.

Also, at some point if you’re not dangerously depressed, it just becomes a part of life and the new baseline. I feel “meh” at the best of times aside from when I level up on OSRS, and having that kind of pessimistic outlook does have some advantages. I don’t really panic when something goes wrong because everything is shit anyways, so the boiler breaking down or w/e is just another Tuesday. Makes life much more chill then the rollercoaster of being an optimist.

There are extensions for Chromium browser’s that do the same thing now :) I use it at work because my mouse doesn’t have buttons for navigating back and forward, it’s great.

Yes I forgot about this! Speed Dial was a killer feature, we just take it for granted now.

I loved Opera 20 years ago when the built in RSS reader, email client, mouse gestures and unique rendering engine that was either faster than the others or completely incompatible with websites. Now I don’t give it much thought, all the chromium browsers feel the same.

My local supermarket sells these “exfoliating gloves” that you wear in the shower and basically just use like a wearable washcloth. They’re awesome.

I’m pretty new to the fediverse, but I haven’t been too negatively impacted by lemmy.world’s issues, especially in the last few weeks since the performance issues were solved.

I wouldn’t be against setting up another acct on a smaller instance, but I don’t want to have to maintain two sets of sfw subscriptions. If there could be a service to sync your subscriptions between instances I’d be all over it.

Windows 11. Don’t @ me, I don’t have the mental or physical energy to deal with Linux. I’ve never had a Linux install that’s had close to everything working, there’s always a device (network, sound, graphics, usb toaster) that doesn’t work and attempts to follow people’s instructions to fix it either make it worse or just do nothing.

Maybe I’m just useless or unlucky, but I’m due to die in a few decades and I don’t have time to deal with that nonsense when Windows does everything I want it to.

Agreed, it seems fine now, makes such a difference to whether I want to keep interacting with Lemmy.

Ngl I dont hate it.

This cycle happens all the time in F1. A couple of seasons after new rules are introduced, one team dominates and everyone screams “boring, fuck this” and the fanbase drops. Then after the rules have been stable for a while and the field closes up, the championships are closer and everyone loves F1. Rinse repeat.

Drive to survive coincided with the rules having been largely the same for a while. Merci were still clearly the best team, but there was at least competition from Ferrari and later Red Bull, so they had some decent material.

For casual fans thinking this, I recommend following F2 if you have the time at the weekends. The two F2 races plus the F1 sessions make for a good weekend of motor racing, and the F2 is normally actually good for racing.

Platform is basically fine from a users POV, I see some people complaining about the lack of mod tools. One annoying thing is because different instances, there are at least 2 F1 communities. I’ve seen the diehards say it’s by design etc etc but that doesn’t stop it being annoying as a user.

Also it’s much quieter, which is a blessing and a curse. More than zero people means it’s at least active enough to be worth checking, but the size of /r/formula1 plus the voting system meant the top comments were usually pretty good, its more of a mixed bag here.
