Reddit doesn't need to be destroyed in order for Lemmy to succeed. There is plenty of room on the internet for multiple communities.

Since RiF shut down I haven't logged into Reddit but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't even tempted. I'm giving Lemmy a fair shake for enough time to get used to it before I make any determination.

I really don't want to have to use the Reddit app...

It's even worse than that because once you see that you just know that all they did was add the ability to mix and match ending tidbits like a damn sectional sofa and let math do all the work.

You can get to 16,000 different endings with something as small as 8 different unlockable characters that each have a unique ending.

Even that wouldn't stop a stubborn narcissist.

No it isn't. Reporting on allegations and other newsworthy topics is literally the joirnalists' jobs. They aren't liable for libel or slander as long as they are reporting in good faith. And almost by definition reporting on something someone else said is in good faith as long as you think that they think it's true.

Many places have a classic resource that is full of free books that are funded by the government called libraries. You should check them out.

This is, quite frankly, a very poor assumption depending on where you are getting your drugs from. For example, Dr. Reddy in India is the equivalent of buying a "Channel" knock off purse from China. It looks like the real thing, it might even somewhat function like the real thing. But it some serious flaws.

European drugs, alternatively, are often literally the exact same drug for cheaper because the EMA is much stricter about pricing. But there are also laws that prevent exporting it from EU countries just as there are laws preventing importing into the US. Because international trade is not open.

Also a Millennial in New England 🫸🫷. Male though.

Try to find some closely related topic that you find interest in that he can relate to. Maybe old music or some other electronics topic. Then your son can meet you in the middle.

I've found that I've been enjoying Archery Tag, also sometimes called Archery Games as a fun replacement for laser tag. It's basically dodgeball but with marshmallow tipped bows and arrows. Shits fun and great exercise.

I am commenting more but I will never find it easy to post. Way too much emotional commitment for me.

Do people really not remember Ren and Stimpy? Maybe younger folks but I assume that's most references that are older than them.

It would be the same for any self replicating thing. Bacteria, viruses, fungi, and prions, but they replicate. I will grant you a single large parasite could do this, but at that point, we're talking about tigers and such as a technicality as well.

None of the things you've listed here are single molecules except for the prion. A single cell, even for simple organisms, is made up of millions of proteins. Viruses come close, but are still made up of the nucleus and the capsid.

Are you as floaty as in some video games too? I think a double jump with crappy real physics wouldn't be very satisfying.

I would assume that during 2020 at the start of the pandemic the amount of pregnancies significantly decreased. So the question for me is: is the abortion rate cited the number of total abortions or the number of abortions per pregnancy?

Ive always been saying a line from a movie that even I didn't remember the movie:

"We're walking... We're walking..."

I had to look it up when a friend asked what movie it was from.

Oh that's really neat I wasn't aware of that feature. Thanks!

We are starting to see the first drugs on the market that utilize the amyloid beta pathway in some fashion because research in the 90's and 2000's were absolutely convinced that this pathway was the lynchpin to the disease. My understanding of the disease (I studied biotech but not Alzheimer's specifically) is that amyloid beta plaques are more of a side effect of whatever is really going on than the main show. And unfortunately the mechanism of dementia in general is not really well understood, Alzheimer's included.

These sobering results are not really that surprising because treating the amyloid beta plaques after they have formed is sort of like trying to prevent spoiled meat by removing the maggots that have accumulated on it.

Maybe more like a kitchen garbage can fire?

What does a washing dishes hobby entail? Do you have like a personal best or a preferred strategy?

I use Connect for Lemmy I'm liking it a lot but I'm willing to shop around still.

Was that movie Eight Crazy Nights?

The thing I remember most when I think of that show are the incredibly disturbing full face shots in all their detail. Always freaked me out as a kid.

My wife has been waiting for this to come out of EA for awhile now and literally screamed when I told her it's been released. She's very excited for it.

Kraft is utter garbage so that one's not really surprising.

The way that steam handles paid reactions seems fine to me.

Do it right now.

If you are looking for another game with the same feel, try Case of the Golden Idol. I genuinely thought it was the same developer until I looked it up.

I learned on a manual when I was 17 but only had that car for maybe 6 months before I got an automatic and haven't had one since. I'm now in my 30s. Was in the USA west coast.

Go on...

Without commenting on the morals of feeling hurt or vindicated or whatever, I thought you might be interested in this Numberphile video that talks about this exact situation:

If the Bering Land Bridge still existed, would you also consider Asia and North America as the same continent?

The definition of continent is made to be useful in daily life to distinguish people's from global habitats.

n, obviously

Get a floss pick at the smallest available size. They look like little toothpicks but are made of rubber and have little bristles that will massage your gums.

That's not really true when ads are in the mix

It's just red squares for me what does it look like to you?

Yes because a significant number of people who otherwise would have met and formed relationships didn't. If you didn't already live with someone then there was way less chance of being with someone during that time.

My wife and have been playing the hell out of Diablo 4 (no pun intended). It has just enough elements from D2 that characters feel open and alive but is accessible enough for my wife (who would not have liked D2) to enjoy trying to come up with new builds.

Season 1 starts in two days and I'm very excited.

Other than that I've been playing Curse The Case of the Golden Idol. It is a sequel of sorts to Obra Dinn, but done in smaller scenarios that can be completed in 30 minutes or so each. I love going from what the hell is happening here too understanding fully all the implications in that time. Really feels like detective work.

Edit: don't even know the name of the game I'm playing haha

I assume if you search on maps for archery tag it will pop up. Idk if there are facilities everywhere.

If you have a large family you can also just buy the equipment yourself for not like crazy expensive
