so (and this may have changed, i used to go on irc mainly in the fuckin 90s) but you need a client, back in the day the big ones were mIRC and pIRCh. i am an mIRC loyalist myself.

it comes with a server list, you just double click on a server and itll connect you. then if you type /list it will list all the channels (rooms). you can see how many people are in each channel, and you can double click on the channel list to join one. then type away

wow

thats good bro

I thought maybe wenslydale?

wealth and stupidity come hand in hand in many, many cases.

I think this is partially because in order to make a lot of money in most cases you have to fuck someone else over and never have it occur to you thats what you're doing. Like if you find out you can buy t-shirts for €1, then you go to your neighbor and tell them they can have a t-shirt for the low price of €30 (and manage not to feel bad about that) you're a successful businessman and a pilliar of the community.

I'm from the states and live in Ireland. I never had a problem with switching back and forth as I visit the states and Germany frequently.

The one danger is if youre in a parking lot or similar and pull out onto the road when there are no other cars after not driving for a while, you might be on the wrong side for a second.

The trick to remember isn't left or right its that the driver is always in the middle of the road.

If youre holding the steering wheel and are on the outside of the road, youre going the wrong way. Keep the center line right next to you and you'll be grand as the Irish say.

A lot of nurses are dumb as shit. I've also met M.D.s who were seriously fucking stupid people.

Do not, my friends, become addicted to water!! It will take hold of you, and you will resent its absence!!!!!

I'm moments away from canceling. Splash screens of some bullshit podcast or something I don't want to see. Getting fed up.

I find lots of GOP people admit trump is shit after they're done kissing his ass and pretending to agree with him in order to keep their jobs

its dissapointing. he was a real 60s hippie. celebrities aren't people we should look to for guidance though. Still sad. Ol' wood

I don't think thats fair. I think the idea is that a dictatorship invading a democracy in eastern europe is something the free world can't allow to happen, same way they couldn't if Iran invaded The Netherlands, and this is why all of europe and the US are helping them defend themselves.

Not sure how you could get "pro-war" from that.

kamala harris isn't hillary, though. I heard a recording of myself from like 2005 and a someone was saying "yeah hillary clinton can unite people" and I said "..against her" and I barely cared about politics back then.

Its not real. This isn't a satellite image of the wildfires. Theres an artist's initials at the top of this "satellite image" (it is a satellite image, but the fires and smoke are drawn on).

Shame on OP for spreading disinformation.

cognitive behavioral therapy for social anxiety can have a huge impact. also, learning diaphragmatic breathing helps regulate your stress response and can de-activate the sympathetic nervous system (and re-engage the parasympathetic nervous system). there is also some promising research emerging regarding sensiomotor psychotherapy.

sees phone lens cover: "this is an old timey eclipse monocle".. I'm just teasing the idea of an eclipse monocle just made me giggle. I hope you're eyes are ok- it sounds like you're good?

nie.

please be advised that speaking german properly is super fucking hard compared to learning many other languages, and you don't need german in germany for the most part.

when I'm in germany I speak my shitty, broken german and they respond to me in english

every online space should not be a space to work out your trauma. I had an experienc- I HAVE TRAUMA

its about getting eyeballs on their message.

I've had traffic blocked while I was cycling to work by eco protesters and lamented they were targeting the wrong folks here- so they're doing what they can to target the right folks.

no matter what people do to try to draw attention to the right focus on the issue, there will always be thumb typers saying its wrong, so good work

I left also, the API thing was the nudge I needed; I admit I've gone back for niche things: the fan groups of 2-3 bands and two TV shows. Reddit is their defacto fan forum for lots of things

In Ireland where there are a lot of sheep theyre an ecological disaster (if you think having biologically diverse forests is a good thing)

but its posted on lemmy

I've also talked to some of these folks, and my strong sense is that they are teenagers who have never been to any of these places, or really understand much about the complexity of global systems

100%. I was so addicted to reddit I would, like you said, open it without even noticing I did it. It was really shocking to me how many hours a day I was pissing away reading the reposts of bots and the thoughts of teen edge lords. The protests came at a great time, havent been back since (my sub is still on private hehe..) anyway, popping in here is fun and everything but I dont think it'll ever get as bad as it was.

whats up guys in todays video I'll show you how to tie a shoe. First, remember to like and subscribe

when I read where they put the portal I had the exact same thought as everyone else who knows what town is like on o'connell street. why didn't they just put it on talbot st

Thank you for running this, grant. Appreciate all the hard work.

A very small percentage of folks will always whine about some grievance or point out what they feel should have been done differently, but 99.9% of everyone who engaged had a great time, thanks to you, and you won't hear anything from most of them.

I got covid for the first time as of last Friday, so we're self isolating and lying low, so this gave me something to focus on and do for long stretches, and it genuinely made a big difference.

I was able to draw my old high school notebook comic character Block Head at 2 o'clock on the Firefox logo completely unimpeded by griefers or vandals. It was really nice. Thanks again.

dont exercise dont work dont clean just lay there. long covid is correlated with "pushing through" the accute infection.

There are a LOT better books out there then childrens books about wizard school, which she absolutely lifted from Jill Murphy.

I want to buy a honda plug-in hybrid.

they only make a fucking SUV plug-in hybrid.

SURI. They're made to be able to be repaired so you won't have to replace it, and the heads are made with vegetable based plastics that you mail to them to actually get recycled.

The battery lasts for weeks and weeks, it has a UV sterilizing travel case and is the best electric toothbrush I've owned.

From their website:

Every toothbrush you’ve ever owned still exists.

Each year 4 billion toothbrushes are thrown away; enough to circle the earth 12 times.

Which is why we need to take toothbrush design back to first principles. If we can do our best to make each component reusable or recyclable, we can do more with less.

I know right? Only a few months ago, a teenager from down the street was found dead, so we went to the neighborhood over and burned it to the ground, killing every man woman and child, and the cops came and just kind of watched. now we sit around drinking coors light and and talking about how cool its going to be to go to hevean where the coors light never gets cold
