How do I find hot singles on the fediverse? I'm not reinstalling Tinder!

I tried that with Reddit. Parents cockblocked me. Had nothing but my missed life to think about in the meantime, so my mental health slips, and I ask who besides Serial killers and rapists deserves to die (looking for a description of myself in the answers).

Implying someone's life is worth more than others is a big no no on Reddit.

Get permabanned for inciting violence.

Nothing but your missed life? You can live a lot of life without a romantic partner, as much I very much understand it can still feel lonely at times.

I missed my entire life. It's not all about that. Though I also regret not experiencing what everyone else did. The mistakes, the heartbreaks, you know, normal people stuff, that's mostly FOMO. What really sucks is I actually missed out on almost everything that makes life worth living. So, now I'm just in the mindset that I should just treat the good things of this world as false, and something that is meant for rich/normal people.

I'm just here to work, and fight. I need to make sure no one else ends up the same, ever again. Until then, there's no point in resting.

So I went back to seeing myself as unimportant, and putting my mission first.

How old are you? You can learn an instrument at any age, my dad learned how to make pastries in his late forties, and there are so many other fun skills and hobbies you can develop pretty easily. You may have missed stuff but you’re still alive and that means you are the one in control of what you are actively doing or not doing right now. Drowning yourself in self-pity isn’t going to do anyone any favours. You can look back at what you missed for the next 30-40 years or you can forward to what you can get done in that time.

I’d also love to know what this “mission” is and I hope it doesn’t have anything to do with being mad at women and has more to do with shit like worker protections and wealth equality such that people can live their lives to the fullest.

I could no doubt eventually learn everything, if I was not being terrorized both at home and at work. As a matter of fact, I sneaked a peak at how to play the piano once. I didn't get far of course, because I'm afraid to even touch it. I am 29 years old, and watching the last of my twenties evaporate, trying to get someone else out of debt, as they make stupid decisions and say they will make it up to me once we get money. I have no doubt they can make money, they may even get us rich, but I don't care about money past a certain point.

If I had a decent tablet, the Laptop I have, some solar, peace, and free time, I would eventually solve all of my own problems that can be solved.

EDIT: Oh yea, you were interested in the mission. Most of my notes are a scizo-like mess of what I want to do, but one thing that stands out is that I want to help people become as self-sufficient as possible, as I think that will help them escape abusive circumstances.

No one to exploit: the oppressive system collapses. Why do you think those in-charge are so desperate to make people work? It is simple: all of their power comes from a sort of blackmail.

Now, if a worker is secure, they can choose their job. They won't be pressured into doing unethical things, because they won't have to think about their and their family's survival all the time. They will have a lot more time to socialize, and become more pro-social.

They will be able to protest, to organize, to become candidates themselves. TPTB depend on almost free labor to build their infrastructure, armies, and exploitative institutions.

What happens when the "peasants" can just say "actually no, I'm fine with my garden and small income", what then? They will have to raise anti-independence laws, and antagonize the "peasants" until those "peasants" ask themselves: "wait, why do they have the right to just take my stuff for free?" and they start resisting.

This applies to all levels of society. Abusive spouse? You can survive on your own, just leave them. Abusive family? Toxic co-workers? It's not like you need food from them, you can grow your own.

If that's how you see yourself, imagine what people think when they don't even know you and meet you for the first time. Focus on what you have to offer other people, not what other people have that you want.

[–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 1 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

It's just even when I'm focused on other people, anything I can do, is just second rate to the average person. If they try, they can always do it better than me.

I am temporary support for most people who are friends with me. I do a good thing here and there, and after that dries out, they lose interest.

[–] FridaySteve@lemmy.world 2 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Who told you there was anything at all you could do in your life that there wouldn't be something better than you at? Why do you let that stop you from doing anything?

[–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 1 points 22 hours ago

I have friends I worry about daily, which sometimes gets in the way of self-improvement. I have a very rigid schedule that I'm like, failing right now. I work 9 hours a day, and get up at 5 AM. I have to pay off my mother's debt, or she is screwed. She works for an abusive company, and I put up with abuse in order to get her out.
