I loaned a friend $50 over 30 years ago. I never saw him again. I consider it money well spent.

United States | News & Politics@midwest.social•Americans have no idea
0·1 year agoSome of us are absolutely aware, but powerless to make any change. I’m speaking up to family who only watch the propaganda put out by the right wing machine. But I’m mainly wonder how to sell my house, and get my ex wife and son out of here… and from there… where? What would I do for work?

0·1 year agoIn my 50s and I don’t bother anymore. It’s just not worth the hassle. In my 30s I would have had to send out 100 messages to get 1 date. It’s so much worse in my 50s.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Divorcees of Lemmy, why did your marriage end?
0·1 year agoMy first wife wanted to get married, she didn’t want to be married. The wedding itself and maybe the honeymoon (fancy cruise in the bridal suite) were what she really cared about. Almost 25 years later I got married again and after our kid was born she said I smelled differently and she was repulsed by me. She decided she didn’t want to be married anymore. 5 years later and neither of us are dating anyone. (I have no desire to get back with her.)

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What’s an unspoken rule that absolutely everyone should know, but most people clearly don’t?
0·1 year agoDo not start or continue a phone conversation when going to the bathroom - public or private restroom but especially in public bathrooms.
I was diagnosed at 56 with ADHD and Autism. So many fuck ups of mine make sense now.
I’m just lazy and haven’t mowed my yard since spring of 2023. It’s about time to more again and I’ll probably mow over them this week. I hate yard work, probably because I was forced to do it as soon as I was old enough to use a rake.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's one sign that you've "become an adult"
0·2 years agoI was in my late 20s and two of my uncle was having a heated argument over politics. Everyone else was quiet, afraid to say anything. I spoke out in a normal tone, not raising my voice, “that’s enough”. They stopped immediately. It was fairly surreal.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is there any way out of the US political spiral?
0·2 years agoI have no idea, but I think something will have to happen that affects the majority of Americans. Another sustained Depression for example. Republicans will have to crash and burn the country down before their voters will turn on them. They have to experience pain for themselves, for they have no empathy for others. They say they do, but they cannot. They say they are Christian, but turn their back on what they say his teachings are. I’m fed up and scared at the same time. I hit retirement age in less than 10 years. Social security won’t be there for me. I did a terrible job of saving, I spent most of my paychecks on frivolous things like bills, rent, and food. I make good money now, but it’s not enough. I know I’m yelling into the void, but it feels good to say it.




I thought she was married to a white guy.
