The title is incredibly hard to understand.

600k seems a bit too much. That’s a fairly large city.

Obviously it depends (for work when I can work on the train I am okay with longer journeys) but there has to be some sort of non-linearity involved, I agree!

If enough people think that a simple “yay” is funny enough to be upvoted near the top it probably is. If it is not upvoted it is not really a problem. Sure they are low-effort comments but in the age of ChatGPT, you can also write low-effort answers that are much longer. It is the voter’s responsibility, not the moderator’s, to separate interesting posts from non-interesting ones.

I would add exercise to point 4, doesn’t have to be a lot just get your body moving. If you are not into sports: a longer walk counts!

Ultimately, even for me as someone who cares about it, it’s just become one of those things that I don’t prioritize. Life is hard and at some point I’d rather get something cool done with gmail reading all my private conversations than struggle with my own email server.

Not saying it’s a great choice but ultimately life is short and we need to focus on doing what feels right. People have to pick their battles and that’s life.

Go for it my man (or your gender-aligned equivalent term)! At that age, you can still hang out with your classmates without it being weird, so you can still build connections like everyone else. Even if you were 40 though you could still do it, networking would be harder though.

Maybe we can agree on “100% of people who died consumed dihydrogen monoxide beforehand”.

Wrong, a mortality of 94.5% has been shown not even close to 100%.
