i think that you have to make happiness and its ingredients depends on what makes you happy & healthy.

it ends up becoming a bit like brewing beer in that you keep testing different combinations and different methods with those ingredients to brew your beer and sometimes you get it right and sometimes you don’t; but the more you keep at it the more often you get it right than wrong.

at some point you start getting excited at the prospect of trying some new combination, method, or ingredient and i think that, if you reach that stage, it’ll become self fulfilling.

they’ve already setup their stores for xmas.

is rooting required?

i heard recently that paris and most places in italy in febraury is the best time to go so since there there are fewer tourists and shorter lines as a result and it’s kind of close to xmas so it could work as an xmas gift.

i think this is one of the things that’s going to end up driving away most of the reddit users in the future.

most people came to the lemmyverse because of reddit’s enshitification and are trying to turn lemmy into diet reddit by recreating the things that they liked about reddit; but lemmy was always intended to be political at its core and that core is deeply unpalatable to most of reddit & its refugees so they’ve mostly self sorted into their own instances and doing so has caused further issues for themselves, including rendering most of their communities inactive.

lemmy works for me because i used to be active in reddit’s political subs before the enshitification and that taught me how to tolerate shit takes from misguided tankies and clueless liberals alike and the people who are too rigid in their views to learn will leave.
