Well, if you know that your comment is wrong, why not delete it?

Anarchists are vehemently opposed to states such as the USSR and China. We consider them to be as great a danger as fascism.

Yes, apparently reading is hard

I think that you have a lot of agency over how you live your life and what you do, which has a huge impact on your happiness.

There is no general answer here, just try to do more things that you know are good for you and make you happy. Eat healthier, stay reasonably fit, get a good and consistent sleep cycle (this has a huge hormonal impact on your happiness). Enjoy good art, make meaningful connections, if you are angry about the state of the world, try to revolt.

The question is, if this is correlation or causation. Maybe some people just do less things, that make them happy as they age? Doesn’t mean that you are gonna be unhappy.

Also, this is an average and I imagine, that there is a very high variance among different people. A lot of people may very well get progressively, happier as they age.

I would say, that happiness comes very much down to how you live your life, how you view the world and what you do.

If you have a job, that makes you happy and good relationships and stuff like that, you are probably gonna be happy regardless of your age.

There is no empirical way to measure happiness, just because a paper says so doesn’t mean, that it’s objectively correct

Also wrong.

Either you are misinformed, an idiot or just racist.

Even if that’s true (which it’s probably not), that not even remotely how slavery works

They aren’t being governed by ISIS.

Also the buttons on the golden panel over the toilet (that are typically used to flush) are way smaller, than they are supposed to be

Actually, I do none of those things and am really happy.

I find a lot of happiness in art, spending time with my friends and trying to do my part in overthrowing capitalism.

If you wanna be happy, don’t just numb yourself, find new art you enjoy (I’ve got a lot of great movies to recommend, if you are interested), organize, find local organizations where you can help out (maybe also something like mutual aid, a soup kitchen etc.), try to spend more time with your friends, or find new ones at the places mentioned above.

I understand that many of you work hard jobs and don’t have that much time or energy left, and I understand that and it sucks.

But if you’re bored or often find yourself spending way to much time online, why not use that time to revolt against the forces and systems that made us this unhappy?

Trust me, it may be hard at first, but it’s way more rewarding and fun than doomscrolling.

womp, womp

I would say it’s fine to pirate Harry Potter media.

So if you are really that into it, just pirate it.

What’s wrong with a simple piefed community?

I think, that the vast majority of pieced developers is actively using piefed (or some piefed-compatible software) though, because otherwise, how would you even think of contributing to a project like that? Is not breaking some peoples habits really worth all the negative aspects of realtime chat platforms like Zulip or Matrix? I think there would be some huge upsides, if we explicitly told people on the codeberg page to post their questions to our forum instead of asking it on matrix/zulip.

Yeah, I’ve seen some projects use that, but I see no reason to, considering it’s not FOSS and piefed is really well suited for this exact purpose.
