United States | News & Politics@midwest.social•Experts say Gen Z is delaying life milestones due to affordability issues — and questioning whether they’re even achievable
1·1 month agoI think the part that makes me feel so disconnected from society is even if there was a huge awakening of awareness about the hollowness we feel, it already has persisted most of my life as a millenial and that distance, dissonance, unreality, and disposition doesn’t go away easily even if the underlying problem that caused it one day does.
Time lost is time lost, life lost is life lost and the manifestation of that extraction through the mechanisms of modern life is a loss of detail, a loss of vibrance, a loss of dreams…
The saddest part for me is I don’t think I will ever have the realistic option to have kids, by the time I stabilize my life and get the necessary foundations I will most certainly be too old to have kids. I don’t know if I want kids, I don’t think I do, but I don’t even feel like I even had the choice, even if I had made all the best choices possible with the options I had.
Surely the reason we are all depressed is just social media and digital screens though!

4·1 month agoI think it would be funnier if they were drones carrying drugs, but it was another branch of the US Department Of Defense running drugs being caught by a different branch of the US Department Of Defense who really wanted to try out their new toy and didn’t get the memo about turning a blind eye there.
I feel bad for this new generation of border guards and law enforcement though, if you blow up the drug drone in the air, a lot of the drugs probably won’t survive the crash and thus being the actual person to arrive at the cache of drugs first as the “good guys” isn’t as fun or profitable anymore.

Truthfully South Carolina is #5 because Alaska is a massive frontier and it is rational it receives so much federal funding.

32·1 month agoTrue, but Hasan Piker is a gifted speaker and he is definitely worth listening to.
He is just getting hyperboosted by the mainstream media’s pathetic attempt to take him down backfiring spectacularly.

United States | News & Politics@midwest.social•Dems Obsess Over Hasan Piker, Give Trump and Rogers a Pass
8·1 month agoI mean, Hasan is right, trying to flatten Israel and Judaism into one concept does place Jews in the US at far greater danger as it forces them into a story they weren’t necessarily a part of and if anything US Jews are very likely experiencing their soul recoil in horror from what is happening in the Palestinian Genocide same as anyone else with a heart.
The amount of immaturity the media has with grappling with Hasan’s point is stunning.

You are projecting shit onto Piker to make it easy to tear him down and it is obvious to everyone but you.

Either you are in denial or you are oblivious, YES they do.
“While politicians and pundits try to make this race about a Twitch streamer, we’re going to be talking about gas, groceries, good schools, and healthcare,” El-Sayed said in a statement on Monday. “Because that’s what Michiganders keep asking about. It’s why I’m fighting to get money out of politics, money in your pocket, and Medicare for All.”

9·1 month agoAlso, why the fuck didn’t the Biden administration deal with the fucked up board that manages postal leadership? The national party has all the heat for progressive Democrats trying to displace incumbent dinosaurs but regularly fumbles the ball on important shit.
…because the only way things could have collapsed this badly was if a truly incompetent and illsuited status quo managing sunsetting old man who had a hand in creating all of the problems that are coming home to roost now was president right after and before a fascist was put in power.
I am not sure there is really any other way to let the fire get so damn out of control before the fire alarm was pulled.
Yeah but you can also set it to copy your DCIM photos folder or whatever (if you want to backup files, make it a one way folder sync in the folder options in Syncthing), if Syncthing is limited it is because of Android’s filesystem limitations not Syncthing.
Also consider an option that uses termux if Syncthing doesn’t work such as this one that uses rsync and termux.
https://howtos.davidsebek.com/android-rsync-termux.html
^the above tutorial may look intimidating at first, but each step is explained very clearly
You can also use termux to install Syncthing and then take advantage of termux’s ability to work around Android file system limitations.
Use syncthing and just sync all your important folders!
On F-Droid app store use Syncthing-forked
https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.github.catfriend1.syncthingfork/
There are probably other more wholistic and specific ways to do this with apps specifically designed for it, but Syncthing you can use for pretty much anything and any other internet connected device you have you can use Syncthing to share/backup files too.
You don’t even need internet to use Syncthing, it will work entirely over your local network if both devices are on the same network.
