I'm pretty sure I died in 2008 and just haven't cooled yet.

I don't post a lot but I have a lot of free time due to being T-boned on my motorcycle from someone running a red light. My mobility has been seriously restricted since. When I was working full time and posting a lot on Reddit I was training corporate engineering sw. When I wasn't training I had a lot of time on my hands at work so I'd scroll reddit. I was also traveling a lot so I was away from home and reddit was sort of my travel family
Nice to have a community to be a part of, for sure.
Sorry to hear about the asshole hitting you, I hope physical rehab goes well and you regain maximum mobility allowed.
The Dr said my foot was squished like stepping on a grape and you can't put the grape back together again. But I'm so thankful to have a foot and leg at all after that so I appreciate what I have not what I don't have, even though it does get burdensome when pain or lack of movement is high
I'm very happy for you and your very healthy perspective, my best to your grape-foot.
A grapefoot is still a great foot.
I don't think I comment way too much, but probably sometimes it's too much. Those times it's because online existence is a form of escapism, and sometimes that's useful escapism that helps me to survive, and sometimes it's maladaptive escapism. Often it's both.
Next time you think that it's too much remember people like me who have 10x in the same timeframe. I'm not proud but at least I can hopefully provide you relief. Unless it's interfering with your ability to function and maintain relationships/responsibilities then I think it's a fine outlet.
Escapism is a reasonable explanation for overcommenting.
Good point
I embrace dandori
Cool term.
"the art of organizing tasks strategically and working effectively to execute a plan"
I keep seeing Pikmin results, but that concept must have existed before Pikmin right? Which I still haven't played any of, to my regret.
It's a term I got from Pikmin 4! Which is fitting as it's a game about strategizing and making the best use of your time. When you search the Japanese word itself there are pages older than the game. It basically translates to "the importance of preparation and planning in advance, and what order to do your tasks in to proceed smoothly"
What is too much? I post a few comments most mornings or evenings.
Your own metric.
I'm one of those posting 2 dozen comments deep defending the accuracy of a point.
I like talking and creating conversations, but I do think "well, that's basically a short story" every so often.
I don't get how people can comment way too much. I barely comment or post anything not just on Lemmy but on every platform.
It's definitely just time for me.
I sit around chilling out and if I get a message I might as well answer it because who knows, maybe I'll learn something, or what they're saying will be interesting
I can usually do my job in like 2-3 h/day. I have significant domestic and childcare responsibilities, but it still leaves free time.
I work from home.
I work in a huge building where I frequently have to walk a lot to get to places, so I comment while walking.
Smoke break 🚬

Those'll kill you.
Without cigarettes, of course, you will never die.
