Look up Maslow's Hierarchy.

Anon is enjoying every creature comfort the planet has to offer, but they are still missing the entire top half of this pyramid. And you need that to be happy.

Edit: to anyone returning to this thread.

It's easy to see how the worst mechanisms in our society cut into this model. Not having enough money for basic needs, being too isolated, or not having enough time to yourself, are all issues that track through the very shape of our society and employment issues in general. I don't have answers for everyone. But it sure is easy to spot the problems.

What I do know is that it's important to keep trying to fight for your best life and don't settle for long if your needs aren't being met. Also, invest in people power even if you have money. After all, you can't buy friendships, it takes time to build them, you actually need other people to be completely happy, and it's probably the best safety net you can get.

thats fucking wild how we live in the same country and yet the top half of this pyramid is ALL i have

[–] Krauerking@lemy.lol 3 points 3 months ago

Man it's wild that I have only really every had the top and the bottom of that pyramid and even then not always.

I wonder what it feels like to have a full sense of self, if anyone even actually has one.

Why is this a screenshot?

[–] dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Lemmy won't let me hotlink images, and I couldn't be bothered to save and then upload a file. :/

Hotlink format

Here's how I put images in Lemmy comments:

Right-click on the image and copy it
Left-click on the text field
Ctrl-V
Bish bash bosh

Right-click on the image and copy it

VERY old browser habits are biting me here. I didn't realize I could copy images directly to the clipboard - screenshot app does that, which is how we got here. Thank you.

What I'm doing wrong? I have the top two and 1/2, and I'm missing most of the bottom half? (I'm basically standing on a glass strand, which is constantly on verge of collapsing)

Funny I used to have those things but then someone that acts like they are God fucked with my life.
