your zip code is prolly a bigger influence than anything
Showerthoughts
A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
I uses to live in Brooklyn, NY and had a school that has a 9/10 rating on greatschools dot org (or whatever that site is)
Then my parents moved us to Philly cuz she didn't wanna keep paying rent and bought a house in Philly (a house in NYC is impossible to afford)
The schools here...
So I looked online...
Oh boy...
2/10
😭
No wonder why these housing prices are mych cheaper... and the tax was kinda not too high too...
And I'm ethnic Chinese...
Oh my god all those racist stereotypes against Asians... it's on full display...
I could practically hear my inner child crying inside my head right now as I type this comment:
"媽媽,呢度好恐怖啊,可唔可以返去紐約啊?🥺👉👈" ("Mama, this place is very scary, can we go back to New York?")
Guess who has depression and because of that dropped out of college?
😭
(Okay shitty schools were just one factor, shitty home environment is the other one)
fool! my values made me work myself to burnout so I could change my zip code! bahahahahaajahasdhjkaaafdshaaklgjkdaaa
Depends on what kind of group you're talking about. National? Political? Hobby?
I assume from the vagueness that the point is that this applies in any situation because the key factor is "your values". Which are personal to you and only you can know them.
Proximity.
Indeed. ✊
