You were born without fingertips and can't do biometric scanning. No one will give you a passport.

If they kick me off the account I am on I will finally be free of falling in love with a series just for them to cancel it after 1 amazing season.

People talk shit about other streamers, but Netflix is by far the worst for this

Yeah, this is really serious. I hope people don't construe this to be an absurd example of over litigation, while it is a completely reasonable case. Kind of like the McDonald's coffee lady getting clowned on when she is a genuine victim.

As a person who worked at one of these cool tech companies that provided food for breakfast lunch and dinner and snacks 24/7, I found I was only using my apartment to sleep. Most of the offices of other amenities such as a gym, and all the tech workers would go out for happy hours. If I was single this would be a very valid option. Some people don't plan to spend time in their apartments.

Proving that it's not only old men that cling to power! Bad equality is still equality.

I worked normally hour, I just didn't need a full apartment. You going to start your work day there's breakfast you work there's lunch you work until 5:00 and then you go to the gym and then you go back for dinner when you do something cool in the city. I actually have really fond memories of that period.

Anthony Bourdain.

Especially since there are services like Thorne that would help you manage it. Also this is a direct result of gutting trust and safety teams.

Espresso machine, best present ever.

I'm mixed and I get along pretty well with myself. Suck it Texas.

Fun fact, the symbol on their flag is sold on Etsy and Amazon Handmade! Artisanal hate paraphernalia!

Lemmy will need a trust and safety team, but those can be expensive, and it would be an operational challenge for every instance to have experienced people. Would probably work best if there was a T&S collective and instances can elect to use them as a resource.

I moved out at 20, but I was privileged enough to get help from my dad until my spouse and I got our shit together. I'm always amazed by people who seemingly did it themselves.

That's tragic. I'm sorry. Life is so inequitable in how suffering is handed out. I hope you are able to find some way to lessen the pain.. Have you talked with anyone about it?

It's called a Sonnenrad, Google sonnenrad jewelry to see all the businesses profiting from hate symbols!

Hey, I don't know if you have similar feelings to me when I was lonely like this. So this would be what I would tell myself during the darkest chapters.

Being lonely isn't a social failing, or an indictment on your personality. Social isolation is becoming a huge problem in a lot of cultures. I don't think it's likely that all these people are unlikeable or unlovable. I don't know an easy fix, all I can say is be public with your interests and your enthusiasm for those interests can attract the right people. Stay strong. it's not easy, but it's worth it.

Cheers, Sunroc

Especially because wax paper works fine

Yeah it has been nice. I definitely miss out on some news, but it's worth it to avoid a lot of the other content there. I pop in with redreader every so often, but honestly it doesn't seem worth it to ever fully go back.

Congratulations! Do you find people point out you have gaps in "common" knowledge?

This literally just happened to me at the doctor's office. I brought up that I'm interested in trying guanfacine to help with my ADHD and blood pressure and my new doctor tried to correct me.. I should probably look for a new doctor.

Up timing, but depending on data permissions upon download they may also have things like device fingerprints. Agreed on the service management though. Brilliant work.

Final fantasy tactics, or 7.

Always important to be cognizant of any PII you put out there! Good call out.

Yeah gpt is a Greta DM assistant. Can also help generate enemy stats for encounters.

I try, but I naturally just want to lurk.

Sony?

What was your dream?

I dunno if the bad is all bad. As long as you communicate you can't trust people who lie casually about little things, and are a relentlessly honest yourself- it's all fair game

The ugly: same thing happens when people take my family's substance abuse history lightly. Some things will always be delicate and will always require professional help.

Being reliable is an asset I always look for in friends. I hate when people flake..

Did you sleep better before your issues with alcohol? I worked in a rehab, so I'm a little familiar with disordered drinking. Do you think it's a physical addiction or a tool for coping with the loss you have had to deal with over the past 3 years?

I wish you grace during your hard times friend. It can get better.

They misspelled Dwayne Johnson. Hah

People en mass make "economic" decisions. If they view an alternative such as lemmy as too difficult to use, or their communities are not here they will rather tolerate the ads. Learning to use a new app or having to start the community themselves is too much effort for most people.

Yeah, honestly outside of sports subreddits I have preferred the Lemmy experience to Reddit.

What's the plan if you don't mind me asking?

Must be them trying to cut costs.

Samoyeds are so pretty!

Karaoke god over here!

I hope you don't internalize the language of your transitioning journey as ugly. A person being true to themselves is a very beautiful thing. I wouldn't know about living that experience, but I think you probably aren't giving yourself enough credit.

10 years... Thanks for everything. I'm sad it's over, but taking time away from reddit has been a good thing for me. There is less noise here.

Beau Miles. He is just so different. His content really challenges my cynicism.

Couple of curveballs, but looks like you are living more true to yourself. I count that as a massive W.

What is the podcast?
