Oh no, some idiot who needs to feel superior to others in order to feel better about himself called me a loser, my day is ruined!

Thank you for being polite about it. For the most part I do actually put carts away. I was mostly just commenting to say its incredibly ridiculous to get from "Person does a pretty minor in the long run but selfish thing" to "This person relies on society having rules in order to be able control themselves or be considerate to others".

Oh, yeah I 100% have ADHD

Lmao, go ahead and tell yourself whatever you need to to feel better about yourself buddy, doesnt really impact me any

Note I started this convo by saying that not putting the cart back is a dick move. So I'm not really sure how I'm being a hypocrite here? My whole point was that just because someone chooses to occasionally be selfish, does not mean they are incapable of self governing, people have different priorities, and there are FAR more impactful things I can spend my limited energy on than whether or not I put a cart back (Which I usually do btw, like I agreed at the start, its a dick move not to). That being said, arguing with people on lemmy isnt really a high impact use of my energy either xD

The fact that all of you are this bent out of shape over shopping carts is both really funny and really sad.

Ah yes, its the people that wish ill on those they feel morally superior to that would be the best arbiters of society

Lmao at thinking any human being can be perfect at all times. Lemmy never ceases to amaze me with how delusional it is

Look man, you can occasionally be selfish or lazy without immediately being an absolute drain on society. Is not putting the cart back ultimately a dick move? Yeah, but its also an incredibly minor dick move, and maybe I've already used up all of my fucks for the day.

Edit: Ok, yall have convinced me. I'm going to start wheeling shopping carts into the most inconvenient places in the parking lot on purpose now. It's really funny how much it ruins all of your days, thank you for giving me a mew source of joy. I wouldnt be surprised if I tipped and treated service staff a hell of a lot better than most of you considering how much you're all itching to feel superior to others over extremely minor things

Yeah, DF is like Rimworld in that it looks like a low powered game, but it'll eat up as many resources as you give it, so a tower is a better host for it. And in fort mode I tend to get around the production chains that intimidate me too much by using trade. I'll focus HEAVILY on a production chain I understand and enjoy and build up a LOT of excess in that category, and then sell it off for the resources I need but dont want to make when the seasonal traders arrive, because unlike rimworld, they show up consistently unless you have pissed their empire off. I also wouldnt sleep on adventure mode either, DF builds a whole world for you to explore, and the Shenanigans you can get up to in it are pretty great. Becoming a legendary wrestler and running around breaking peoples arms, stealing their weapons, and then throwing said weapons into the faces of their allies is a rush

xD yeah, I've been playing DF for about a decade now and I dont think I've ever fully set up even a clothing chain, I've DEFINITELY never gotten into soap making or cheese making. The game is VERY unintuitive at times, so I agree it could be better at being more understandable!

If you still want to get into DF, I'd heavily recommend googling up quickstart guides, either the text ones on the wiki, or some on youtube, ans following them pretty exactly for a while until you get the hang of the basics enough to start experimenting. It's how I got myself into DF, and I've used that method successfully with other games that are so complex that they are intimidating like Stellaris.

Edit: Aaaaand I didn't realize I was necroing a 3 month old post xD

Is that not what mugging usually is?

Fuck man, I was really hoping to scrounge up enough money to get my second tower up and running before I switched my current one over to linux so that I'd have an easier time transitioning everything without breaking anything too important, but this shit has me heavily rethinking that in favour of just switching over to linux sooner rather than later

Reddit was down. I also occasionally come back when I've burned through all the articles on Reddit to see if anything different pops up here, and then I see shit like Vegans nutritionally starving their pets and people getting their comments removed for not capitalizing someone pronouns correctly when I come back. Sometimes theres extra shit to read here, so I'll probably keep coming back when I've drained reddit of content, but this shit reminds me why I've decided to deal with Reddits BS first before Lemmy's

Yep, this shit is part of why I gave up and went back to reddit. The extreme stances here are too fucking normal

Damn, I own this game, its worth boosting so it sucks I had to downvote xD

Fruit does not belong on a non dessert Pizza, and unless you are a horticulturalist or other form of plant scientist, a tomato is not a fruit (Do you put tomatoes in fruit salad?)

Hence why I said low tide and zoom out. Right now shit seems like its regressing, BUY WE ARE STILL AHEAD of where we used to be, so the TREND is still hopeful, even if the right now sucks.

tldr; in the immediate present/future things are looking worse, but the overall timeline/trend things are looking and have been getting better

For me its because if you zoom out, the world is a better place to live in now, than it was 1000 years ago. Progress moves in waves, and right now it definitely feels like a significant low tide, but over time the coastline keeps creeping forward.

• Humanity is the only meat eating animal that has significant percentage of its population willingly avoiding eating meat and instead finding ways to obtain essential nutrients without it (need to add that I am NOT one of those animals, I'm personally waiting for lab grown meat before I obstain from death based meat, if I ever do)

• Humanity by and large no longer needs to leave its sick and wounded to die because we invented technology and infrastructure to both heal, and take care of those we cant heal

• We've progressed to the point as a species where in order to bring more prosperity to our community, we no longer have to take from other communities, and that wasnt always the case (unfortunately this is only a recent achievement, and as such, not all of our population has adapted to this, hence our current problems)
