I feel like I’m a really good judge of character; I can tell if I’m not going to get along with someone or how they will treat me in the future. When it comes to high profile celebrity figures, i can get a sense of their character through very minimal data. This is why I predict Andrew Tate (toxic manosphere influencer) will pivot into becoming an alien conspiracy influence. But I have no evidence for it, thus the prediction is baseless.

Anyone have any similar beliefs/predictions?

    I’ve got a pretty simple one: I’m going to die of natural causes in the near future. According to the doctors I should have a couple of years ago already and yet I am still here.

    Right now I am homeless in one of the so called richest countries on this planet and there is nothing left. Been through all the social welfare programs. No job, no money, no hope. One day we’re all going to die so it doesn’t matter anyway.

    I’ve started the “computer hobby” in the 1970s and was communicating with fellow “computer freaks” (that was an insult back then and probably it is again now) before the World Wide Web existed. Modern social media always was a big No-No for me. Three days ago I’ve decided to join the Lemmy World/Fediverse and I’m going to post whatever I want to just for the fun of it. Maybe that’s my way of spending some time with people. Maybe it’s my way of sharing something with the world. Maybe I’ll write my autobiography here. Yes, I am serious and real. No, I am not obligated to provide “proof” for the keyboard warriors out there. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

      I’m so sorry to hear that dude, and let’s take a moment to be celebrste the fact you’re still alive - because whether it’s dumb-luck or down to you taking good care of yourself, it’s still worth being joyous about.

      As for being failed by social welfare, you’re in good company because a lot of people on the fediverse are also struggling to thrive in modern “1st world” countries despite being smart and articulate people. Some have the same story as you. I think you will get a lot out of fediverse as a social media, i know i have and i’ve only been here ~ 7 months. It’s heakthy because it’s more like old fashioned forums. (Old fashioned in terms of the internet’s lifespan)
