Born in the south and moved to Philadelphia in my early twenties. It was more culture shock than some other countries I’ve been to. Folks in Philly don’t hold back. If they don’t like you they tell you, to your face. They also don’t feel the need to add all the extra and often unnecessary pleasantries to every social interaction. Honestly for a “well mannered” southern kid it was pretty liberating to get to drop all that.
Went to visit my gf in college once a few hours away. On the way back I put every penny I had into my gas tank in hopes it would be enough and it barely was. While at the gas station I mixed some ketchup packets, salt, and hot water for “tomato soup” because it was all free.
I think it should be law that folks in drag are allowed to shoot nazis. Whether it’s actual members of national socialism or just anyone who gets too loose drawing swastikas.
I’m a climber and while yes, the gear is very well made and over engineered climbing is still quite dangerous. That rope could be rated for 500KN but if you repel off the end of it you’re still going for a fall.
They do and don’t DARE let anyone tell you different. They want us on the left thinking they’re done, that they have no chance. But in reality if we don’t get out and vote in a big way there will be a massive red wave instead and we’ll all be standing around wondering what happened.
Honesty the reason I never considered them is because they advertised so hard on YouTube and Podcasts that they annoyed me so I never considered them.
Jesus, felt like there was a time when halfway through any YouTube video it became “and I learned about this browsing the internet safely with Nord VPN…”
Not sure if this is what you’re looking for but sure, there have been times when I’m in nature and I see a view or a tree or a river or whatever and things seem so beautiful and so connected and so awe inspiring that it gives me an overwhelming sense that there is more to all this than I’ll ever understand or comprehend.
I still don’t really understand the difference in Lemmy and Kbin.
That’s a really good way to put it that I’ve never heard before.
Just a legal pump and dump and a great example of why we let the SEC regulate markets.
Yes! I’m knocking at the door of 40 and a few times each summer I’ll accidentally cut the corners of my mouth on a freeze pop. Reminds me of being a kid.
Not good. Just watery ketchup. But it was a hell of a lot better than nothing. It did help that I snagged a few packs of crackers for texture.
We’re pretty much the same although I ditched WaPo cause Bezos.
I do add the BBC and France24 if there’s a large international story breaking.
Thanks! So I guess the question I have now is why would I not move to Kbin if that means I get two services for one account?
Definitely a learning curve but WefWef has solved a lot of my initial issues. Definitely seems like a lot less obvious bits and garbage than Reddit, which was getting pretty bad.
But so far I’m glad to be on something decentralized and excited to see what this looks like a year from now.
I have those but there seems to be several across multiple instances with no clear winner and all of them are pretty sparse. But I feel like that should improve with time.
I guess that’s pretty clear. I guess I meant more of what are the advantages of just having one or the other or both.
We’ve been USA Today’s best “small beer town” for years and can walk to 6 different breweries in <30min. Plus we’re walkable to a train station which gets us to the events in the city proper in 20 minutes.
I’m pretty close. I still check a few smaller Reddit communities but only when I’m on my pc in the browser. Almost all interacting (posting and comments) is on Lemmy now.
Lol, no they won’t.
