Could be internal damage. At least, that was the case with my old phone.

Looks like they are. I can tell from some of their words and from seeing quite a few critics in my time.

Is soaking still a thing or can it only be found in memes nowadays?

Trees and algae have different utilities. Trees are beautiful, reduce temperature, offer shade, and produce a modest amount of oxygen. Algae tanks produce vastly more oxygen by volume and cause you to question whether it’s really enough to continue meandering through life in this stone and metal postmodern hellscape and maybe it’s okay to finally indulge in a vacation near open fields and untamed wilderness. The local camping spots might be available in a few weeks if my sanity can hold out. One doesn’t completely substitute the other.

I’m open to new political opinions, just not regressing through yours.

I’m positive that this comment will help me find more users who stray from your echo chamber. Keep ‘em coming.

I wish I didn’t have to individually block lemmygrad accounts- it’s my only issue with kbin.social. Still love you, Ernest.

One of the positives of the AI ad page shitshow defining current search engines is that pirating written content has never been easier. In all likelihood, there’s a full site rip visible by simply searching for the contents of an article, recipe, book, whatever. Bonus, no ads.

I feel a bit silly in my reason for swapping when so many have such strong feelings. I’ve just hated spez for over a decade and the chance to jump ship to a foss social network populated with actual humans made me froth with excitement.

As someone whose local election ousted a literal fascist, never forget local elections, folks.

Do you not understand what that means to ethnic Koreans? It’s derived from the 1940s Japanese expressicon often used after they dressed slaves like animals to amuse themselves. The Koreans were no longer people in their eyes, they were less. Less than human, less than even beasts. They were servile dolls to be toyed with and discarded, which reflected in the Japanese refusing to use names or even the word “who.” The progenitor of your emote was often used as follows:

“(。O ω O。) what is this?”

If silksong is bad, I’m legitimately going to have an existential crisis.

Never doubt your ability to be influenced by propaganda. The technique that broke the internet in 2015, lying and then confirming the lie more convincingly with a second account, is still very successful today.

The overwhelming majority of users who came from Reddit seem to be ~19 and lack any degree of EQ, for better and worse. It’s homogenized into the old Reddit crowd but slightly more progressive, which has perplexed me. I still prefer it here, it’s an objectively better time sink than Reddit, especially since they switched their algorithm to cater to fake stories and celebrities. When AITA comes here, I’m moving to mastodon.

Edit: you’re welcome to downvote, it doesn’t change the very noticeable inability to recognize “stallman was right”

Fire extinguishers are worthless to most. Now hear me out. Most fire extinguishers go bad after ~a year of immobility and tend to be kept for several years after. When a fire breaks out, every second matters and fetching a worthless fire extinguisher costs time that no one has.

If you buy someone a fire extinguisher, you have to take on a degree of stewardship and explain the issue. You become fire extinguisher tech support. Set a calendar for them to periodically turn their fire extinguisher or it’s a paperweight. My father burned down the kitchen in an oil fire but luckily had a hand-me-down fire extinguisher to frustratedly shake for a minute. If you give, expect to educate.

I hadn’t even considered the degree of finesse one could develop until you mentioned a router. Feeling a text vs a call, diagnosing an issue with an electric motor by proximity, instantly noticing loose wiring, feeling when malware begins spinning up processes, etc…

Porn can be addictive and can promote toxic relationship values. If you don’t understand what you’re consuming or are predisposed to certain addictions, it can be debilitating. Sex ed and proper communication mitigate or completely prevent negative outcomes. Which is to say, talk to your partners and teachers while you can, folks.

Every admin of every instance, with a little finagling, can see them. At least that was the case a few months ago.
