Lemmings in school, what are they teaching about drug addiction, fentanyl, and opiods?
With the current problems. And meth?
You're viewing a single thread.
There are school-aged people on Lemmy? I assumed the vast majority are older millennials (with a touch of gray), who are also Linux users, not straight, and have some level of obsession with Star Trek and — God knows why — beans.
hetero gen Z windows user here who didn't watch star trek. but yeah i get that impression as well.
also that people are even more communist over here.
and yes, i will switch to linux in the near future.
Commie grey millennial here. I'm a drug and alcohol counselor in a prison. I teach a group on opioid overdose prevention to the inmates, but no clue what they teach in school.
at least in germany, they barely teach anything. they had an alcoholic over once for an hour who basically just said "don't drink too much alcohol".
Gen X, hetero, use linux, smoke pot, watch star trek. I went to the Doobie Brothers concert.
There are dozens of us!
So this is how I find out I'm not straight? It's not that I expected.
This is how I found I out like beans, so I feel you man
If you feel him enough, I have news for both of you.
Beans would probably make Waluigi's buttplug talk.
It won him a chess game for sure
If the last time that dick in your hand wasn't enough proof, here you are. (Assuming you also have a dong.)
I must be gay, because I've enjoyed playing with every dick I've ever played with. Admittedly, that happens to only be one
I'm not gay (yet?) but after using lemmy for a while the rest is now pretty accurate.
Yet 😏
That is alarmingly accurate.
I'm 13, straight and not a big fan of star trek.
I do use Linux, though.
But what is your position on beans? You're strangely quite on that subject. 🤨
B E A N S
You’re me, but 20 years younger..
Same. I also hate BEANS.
Do you have matrix?
I'm a gen Z currently in college! =)
I am 17 but linux and not being straight do check out lol
Maybe you're an older millennial at heart?
nah man, I don't wanna get old :(
Me either 😞 I'm 41 and I still remember most of 17 very clearly because it was a very good year for me. But man, the years will just start whizzing by you the older you get. Sometimes it feels like 17 was just 5 or at most 10 years ago.
My advice is if you don't want to feel like you're getting older (and it happens to all of us) is stay active and avoid monotony. Doing the same monotonous thing day after day (ie most jobs) means you don't make as many "waypoint" memories - when you get old like me it's the big events that move away from the monotony that you tend to remember, and if you don't have many of those big events it feels like no time has passed at all since you have very little memory of that period. We don't remember the daily commute to work, the endless meetings, etc., but we tend to remember things like travelling or the first time with a new lover or emotionally-strong events like a death or marriage. In short: make lots of memories!
very good advice, thank you.
Oh man. I was miserable in my teens and much of my twenties. The majority of the time that I think back is to unfairly judge myself on data or maturity that I didn't have and cringe (which is a habit that I'm working on breaving). Overall sound advice, from my experience though.
Mid-30s millenial here. Being an adult, instead of a 20-something young adult is overall pretty great. Having experinence and maturity makes a lot of shit easier, especially dropping uninportant bullshit. Definitely the best decade of my life thus far.
The downside: unaddressed physical, emotional, and psychological "battle damage" is cumulative (I only started treatment for ADHD at 30). So, if you have any untreated issues or trauma, it's best to take them on earlier so that you don't have to play catch-up.
That said, enjoy your life and keep in mind that, short of severe injury or imprisonment, you are not going to irreparably damage your future (repair is possible in some of those cases anyway). I didn't start my career (completely unrelated to my degree) until I was about 26. My wife, who is a year younger than me, earned her union card in her trade last year, after dealing with nearly 30 years of untreated physical and psychological issues. Despite this, we're both happier on average than any other point in our lives.
I'm gen Z and I think, that there are a lot of us.
I'm graduating 12th grade this year, so idk what you're on about
am teenager
am also need time to move to linux
You described me perfectly except for the Linux bit (and I do t have greys, those are the natural variation in my hair’s pigment).
Unless you count my home assistant/Plex server running Linux makes me a ‘Linux user’…
That's a Linux server, I'd count it 😛
Beans? Am I missing something?
A while ago (soon after the Reddit exodus, but I can't recall specifically when) it seemed like every other post on Lemmy was just shitposting bean memes. I still see beans referenced periodically. But if your experience on Lemmy was strictly highly curated you may have not experienced the beans.
Seems like I missed all the fun..
Yeah, you should've bean there.
2005 kid who just got into uni. Straight, moderate, Linux user
Pro tip: if you want to mess with an older millennial, say something like "I was born in 2005... Yeah I'll be turning 19 this year" to which the older millennial will say "the fuck? 19? But 2005 was like 5 years ago" and then watch them proceed to have an existential crisis.
Also: it's cool to see so many younger people using Linux. I remember my friends and I in high school all trying Slackware Linux and congratulating anyone that actually got it to work with all their hardware.
Better yet, im running it on a Mac :P (see asahi Linux)
Neat! Does it recognise all of the hardware? How does it perform?
They’ve made almost everything work! On M1 and M2 models, only things that don’t work are: thunderbolt, USBC displays and Touch ID. Vulkan support is on the works, and everything else works amazing
Who else got their gamer socks on?
Beans are great. That's why. Staples of my pantry: pasta, rice, beans (pinto, black, lentils, red, kidney) , ramen, nuts.
I feel like it's mostly minors here
There’s a reason why they call us Gen Xers the forgotten generation…
Sorry for the Gen X erasure 😞
