I started on lemmy.sdf.org because of the zero blocked/blocked by, and I stayed because it’s a cool organisation and the instance community is really happening.

I use the browser frontend, but always over Tor Browser, which I guess is semi-weird.

I mean, it’s not like they carry a sign. Some actual mental handicaps can sort of get through the day with some supports. So, maybe you’re just not looking hard enough. If you’re going IQ you should use <85 or something, too, since <100 is literally half of the population.

On top of that, it’s really hard to tell between weird behavior because they’re dumb, they’re not really paying attention or they’re neuroatypical/mentally ill. I have better stories about supposedly intelligent people missing obvious things. (I star in many)

It’s not really a profession, more of a business which you may or may not run yourself.

There’s also the kind that’s old and semi-retired and cares for properties part time. I’m curious what the breakdown is now. When it comes to the big properties, at least in Canada it seems like there’s more multi-shareholder corporate landlords than Trump family-type landlords.

Private health insurance doesn’t get involved with doctors or hospital treatments at all where I live. It’s more for various outpatient goods, and dentists/eye doctors if you’re too rich to qualify for the federal program.

Or they hear about narcissism and think it sounds like a good thing, which is apparently a pretty common reaction.

Very long time as in possibly forever. They just get a bit less nutritious if it’s been many years.

Where I live it turns out they’re even cheaper if you go to a dollar store instead of a grocery store, and some items are just as good. If anyone wants pantry recipes, I have a bunch by now.

If I could figure out some way to use dandelion roots that would be awesome. They look like they could actually be pretty filling.

Wait, really? Do you have a link?

The conventional wisdom is that they barely ever work, but they’re also cheap enough per view it still makes economic sense for the one influenced purchase per person per year or whatever.

Yep, although it’d be pretty surprising if it went like this. OP is straight up worried they’re being bad to others, and willing to invite embarrassment by announcing it. (Unless they never really meant it)

Like, amateur over-the-internet diagnosis is worthless, but BPD would fit the almost no information we have better.

You might have mental health issues, but I kind of doubt you have those ones just from the basic context.

I’m going to say no. Try to be nice, let people figure out the rest. And look for some kind of support if possible.

Yeah, something else seems to be going on. A narcissist doesn’t consider warning people about themselves.

Lemmy is pretty Western, you might not get great answers here. Or even ones that make basic sense where you are. In my original reply I talked about staying warm, which might not be a problem for you. On the other hand, vehicles are much too expensive to consider as a housing option anywhere developing.

Some stuff is universal, like how debt works if that’s a factor.

This needs more details. If you have significant assets and/or debts, it’s a legal question about bankruptcies in your jurisdiction.

If you’re just watching your bank account slowly tick down it’s a very different question. And even there, the advice varies quite a bit by what your current lifestyle is. At one end it might be “stop going out on the town every night and you’ll be fine”, at the other we’re talking about how to stay warm and clean-ish on the streets once you lose your trailer.

And then there’s the possibility it’s something directly fixable, too, like you just have a ton of credit card debt you could refinance.

Because you probably won’t get a multi-million-dollar cancer, but might. Or, looked at another way, someone will get cancer, and with insurance everyone is just a little less well off, instead of a few people being absolutely ruined.

I know little about American healthcare, but that’s how insurance in general works. (From what I’ve heard, there’s also a premium that just goes to anticompetitive bullshit in that specific case)

There’s an actual information argument to be made if it’s betting on something important, and there’s no better, more clinical method to figure out that thing. In some experiments, a critical mass of people guessing has actually been fairly effective.

Most betting market bets are not on those things.

TBH it might actually be fucked. Not because I’m a bad person, but because I’m adjusted to living in the world we live in. For the first time there’s several of me in the same place, and however that turns out is going to happen a lot. There’s just bound to be some weird interaction, or some way I’m deficient.

Even outside of magical hypotheticals, a mix of people is a good thing. That can be said definitively, because you can find self-selected monocrops of people “in the wild”, and they tend to suck.

I can’t believe this is the only mention of landlords to date.

Fun fact, in Europe a lot of countries will pay for your homeopathy. Woo actually might be a bigger thing there.

It’s absolutely true. They might be a building over from someone doing level 1 tech support but making half the hourly rate.

Just having no morals won’t make you rich, but it can pay the rent alright.

In some civil cases they do literally just ask for a cut of any winnings.
