No, I turned it off the day I bought my truck and its been off since. The only form of pure audio media I consume are podcasts. I rarely even listen to music.

Around six. I feel like it’s enough but it probably isn’t.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's the cheapest you can afford buying (or already bought) that you consider as luxury?

1·4 days ago…so you can’t just look at a person’s wealth and say “nobody should be that rich” or that they’re “hoarding money” when the wealth you’re criticizing could not even be money to begin with but a company called SpaceX or Tesla that’s valued in the billions.
Wealth is not synonymous with money in the bank. You could be incredibly wealthy because you own a rare painting, but having that painting on your wall doesn’t pay your bills.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•(This is a really stupid question) How do you know that you are not stuck in a time loop unable to wake up?
4·4 days agoI don’t and it doesn’t matter. Now is all there is anyway.

I don’t think so. Hoarding means sitting on a pile of something that you don’t use/need.

3·4 days agoRich people don’t hoard cash. They have assets that are valuable. A billionaire doesn’t have a billion dollars on their bank account. Hell, they probably don’t even have a million in there. All that wealth is tied to investments that either increases in value or for the very least holds it.
Making money is incredibly easy if you have a lot of money to begin with. Going from zero to million is hard. Going from million to a hundred million, not so much.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Where can i find a good video tutorial on shaving my junk?
4·3 days agoI don’t think it can be taught. At least not on a video. You just do it at it’ll get easier over time. I’ve been doing it for about 20 years and I went from “this is impossible” to “what even was hard about this” in just a year or so.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is the most logical thing you are afraid of?
6·5 days agoDying alone. Not living alone or growing old alone but dying alone.
I dunno - it’s just quite sad to think being in hospice alone, knowing that the end is near and nobody but the nurses comes to check on you.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How do you respond to "hey, how are you" when you feel like garbage?
3·5 days agoI’ve been taught that just means “hi,” so I respond “good,” which also means hi.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•After many years, at last I have become sufficiently cantankerous that one egregiously stupid post to c/showerthoughts is enough to make me block someone.
15·6 days agoIf it’s a 3-hour-old account, I don’t worry about it.
If they have extensive post history and it doesn’t seem awfully toxic, and their modlog doesn’t indicate that this is a habit for them, then I might just assume they’re having a bad day and let it slide this time while hiding the thread.
It usually doesn’t take many repeats of them posting about kids of rich people street racing or a single mother asking about her teenage son’s erections or whatever before I go “this guy again??” At that point I just block them.
You and me. Together. Tonight.

I often see old people walking with their hands behind their back, and I’m sure this too is some kind of realization of a walking style that takes 70 years to fully appreciate the superiority of.
