We are afraid to use common greetings now? How about we all refer to each other as "carbon units"?

Probably because it was a popular name for a while so the odds they'd have that name are good.
Another name ruined
I treat people like that like I'm dealing with a rabid dog. I detach emotionally and treat them like a thing to be careful around.
How dare they ask me how I'm doing! None of their damn business!
In old fashioned diners in the US the older woman would call you "Honey" frequently. This seems to bother the woke crowd. Me, I like the old school waitresses.
Lemmy is too quiet and has little local activity so I still glance at FB and Reddit
"Do you believe our species will ever reach some form of enlightenment"
If there is anything history has taught me is that we repeat the same basic behavior over and over and have done so as far back as we can see. We are essentially very intelligent monkeys, obsessed with social status, manipulation, altruism and cooperation mixed with hostility and exploitation. I think the basic sociology of humans is baked into our DNA and the very nature of animal life. People have always imagined they can create some utopia on earth but it always ends up a failure because of the very nature of man and the impossibility of even defining a utopia for everyone.
What a bizarre thing to be upset about. It sounds like the guy had a screw loose.
I lost my 10+ yr old account because I got auto banned from a mess of subs for leaving a comment on an anti vax sub CRITICAL of them. You have to love lazy mods who ban without any consideration of context. Now I just glance at the posts and comments and avoid the urge to participate.
Yup. You look through history and FAR worse shit has happened in the past, even the recent past. The present though is what everyone has to deal with and that is your burden to bear best you can. Like you said, you see this sort of thing go in waves.
I know this sounds like a pat on the head but you also have to count your blessings in life and not just obsess over the things that are wrong with it or you'll always be miserable and never able to find any happiness. To say "everything is shit" is as unrealistic as saying "everything is wonderful".
"I'll give you $5 if you sniff it."
Sounds like they were in quite a pickle.
If you are Elon Musk it is looking amazing right now.
Don't talk to strangers.
Searching things is easy so don't post something without checking it. People now don't make the slightest effort to verify a rumor or conspiracy crap.
They are butt showers.
You poop first in the toilet and if it was a messy one you use some paper (not all countries' pipes can handle paper though). Then you go to the bidet and clean there. Let the jet hit your hole and wiggle a bit if need be. Use some paper to dry off. Woman will also wash their privates with the bidet after peeing.
In India and China you also got a hose or just a hose in many places. That requires a bit more finesse due to the risk of giving yourself a shower if you don't aim well. You might even just get a cup which you fill and use to wash yourself manually. You need to carry some liquid soap and sanitizer when traveling in areas that might require this and keep your fingernails cut short. In remote areas it is a hole next to the animal pen and you bring your own paper.
I got a bidet attachment for my home during the pandemic due to the severe toilet paper hoarding that was going on.
No certs and degree isn't in CS. I just have lots of experience.
My pathway was basically:
It temporarily goes down when the laptop gets moved to another Starbucks location.
Future generations will blame you for everything also.
You left out the bow at the end.
Ticks and botflies. We don't need maggots making a home in our skin. Even worse is what they do to animals like sheep.
Mosquitos are mainly an annoyance to me and I can deal with them.
Conversely why do we act horrified that someone in the past didn't act according to standards that only exist today and pressures that don't.
I don't know why people get into meth and crack in the first place. They've heard all the stories and likely know people messed up badly from it already. "Hmmm, this is the drug for me!"
When you are the victim of a loot ninja
Hey, he is supporting the massive FL mansion and mega yacht industries.
I never answer unless I recognize the caller. If it is important they can leave a voice mail.
On the plus side I no longer get the weekly call from the Chinese lady.
Ah yes, you breathe through your gut. Even if it did provide oxygen you'd burn through it in a few minutes at most.
Me but reddit comes up in searches and I still have to go to it for things like local postings and gaming stuff
I'm still struggling with it. I clicked on a post that looked interesting and it took me to a server I didn't have a logon to. I wanted to leave a comment but I couldn't. Was I banned? Nope, I finally realized I'd been directed to a different server. Now imagine someone with zero IT background trying to deal with this. They'd probably just quit it.
It is interesting to be on the ground floor of something new though.
Some sorting would be good. I'd also like to be able to hide posts without having to block the poster. Right now there is very little user control.
I could switch but I don't see any need to. The lockin from apple apps and google play apps is far stronger.
Yes, the world fracturing creates a bunch of duplicate islands. They need to overlap.
Manage app startup and profile settings
Unfunny, she asked if I was dating her because she had blonde hair. Well duh, yah part of dating is that you are physically attracted to that person but her accusing me of being that shallow guaranteed I wouldn't go out with her again. "You are a judgemental shit."
I read that it was a DDOS but I wonder what the motivation for doing that is? It isn't like you can extort any money out of lemmy.
I wonder if they somehow think they will be able to manage it.
I've never heard the terms were treated differently. A troll was just called a troll.
My date went to smoke pot with the band we were seeing (small nightclub)
I have mixed feelings about this. I'd fire many of the bullies.
Just need to do a dnf update on them all...
