Who cares? Without trucks moving goods, we literally have nothing and society as we know it doesn’t exist.

Right and I get that, and I’m not saying that’s a bad idea, but again I just get a really bad taste in my mouth for policies that aim to save people from themselves. It just feels like the government being a parent instead of a service of the people. Secondly, it doesn’t really fix the root of the problem, which doesn’t always have to be the goal in policies obviously, but reluctantly making people make decisions with higher prices. Where should the government stop then in using higher taxes to get us to do what it wants?

Again, I’m torn on this because it may be the correct thing to do to cut down sugar consumption, but I hate the precedent it creates.

Maybe. A possibility for sure. I’m just not really into policies of trying to save people from themselves.

For me? I do what I can by just avoiding it as much as I can.

No, because just banning things rarely achieves the desired results.

And whether it’s cane sugar or high fructose corn syrup, too much sugar in general is the problem, much more so than the subtle differences between the two.

Yes, I even have a class A CDL. However, I don’t do it much so I’m not the greatest in a big truck and am competent in a regular vehicle

Yes, even as someone without anxiety this happens. This is especially true if I haven’t gotten enough sleep the last couple/few days. Also, it comes with a hangover besides the physical ailments. Lastly, if I’ve been stressed for a long while about certain things and those eventually get resolved, I’ll still feel anxiety/stress for awhile, it’s what I consider burnout as it applies to me.

Cut out Reddit completely if you haven’t already, that helps a lot.

Reddit is so much bigger, but if you remove that competition to cure the same “itch”… you’ll be here more.

What’s the band?

[–] w00tabaga@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

In-laws are coming in from out of state for a 5 day visit. They fly in tomorrow. Looking forward to catching up with them as always.

You feel that? You feel it slipping?

When you have to be this hands on with your site, manipulating it, it just means your circling the drain… slowly working your way down.

It’s going to get exhausting putting out these little fires constantly. If only they had a group of people that would happily do the moderation for them… for free.

But why even acknowledge it if you’re just going to lie about it. Cringe.

 

I took part in the Reddit blackout a month ago, and accessed Reddit through Apollo. After the blackout I looked at Reddit a handful of times and then let my association with Reddit die with Apollo.

I haven’t been there since, but now I feel as though I should have deleted my account of 7 years, that way everything I ever contributed will be gone.

However, to accomplish this as you all know I should delete all my posts first and edit all comments. I was wondering what people used to do this. I want everything to read “Edit: moved to Lemmy”.

I’m sure others migrating here have the same question. Thanks.
