Why do I feel more sympathy for the shooter then? Let me explain myself. I don't condone his actions, but here's the thing.. You have no idea what a stranger is going through in their life. No idea what trauma lies in their past. Going up to strangers and trying to provoke them could yield wildly different responses from person to person, and in the world we live in that could easily involve anger. Some people are barely holding it together and all they need is a jarring incident like this to make them snap. The shooter didn't provoke this situation. Yes he reacted poorly, but the entire thing would have been avoided if the brain dead YouTuber wasn't going around trying to elicit a response for clicks.

They are threatening to sue her for lying and defamation? Wtf? People saw the kiss and everything I've read about the situation sounds like all she did was say that she never consented to it. SFA can get fucked.

I've got three cats. All males. I like cats because they are fairly low maintenance with a high cuddle return. Especially with an auto feeder. All I have to do is scoop the litter box once a day and I get to pet them when they feel like coming and sitting with me. Watching them interact with each other is entertaining and occasionally will melt your heart with how sweet they are to each other. Here's a pic of them sitting with me while I play video games.

I'm in the same boat as you with the Arlo cameras. I've got the Pro (4030) cameras. I read an article that said they kinda walked that decision back. They are going to continue the 7 day free cloud storage, so after the EOL date, which was July 1st, they'll continue to offer security updates for a year, but after that our cameras will still work but not receive updates. I'll definitely be looking for other options, but at least they'll still work. If anyone knows a good kit that lets you host the videos yourself I'd be interested in hearing about it.

Yeah we may shy away from it, but it's not because we can't figure out HOW to use it.

I try to post a picture of my cats every day or two. It's not much, but I get a fair amount of engagement on some of them. Aside from that I scroll daily and comment and upvote when something catches my eye. Haven't been back to Reddit since Apollo died so this is my only social media and I really want too see it grow.

I also came here to plug Voyager. I was so happy when they implemented this feature.

Just a thought, but have you tried requesting the desktop site from your mobile browser? I've had luck with a few websites that have missing features on their mobile pages.

I was gonna say, ever heard of "dry socket"? Honestly though, when I had my wisdom teeth pulled I was still smoking cigarettes and I'd just put wet gauze in the back over the holes and do it anyway. I got lucky I guess and got away with it.

You misspelled chode. Lol

Good horse. Good horse reads poorly. Games Bookstore becomes jaamesbaxterr

I mostly agree but I would argue that spirituality comes from within, while religion comes from external sources. Religion is just other people's packaged version of spirituality/faith.

Somebody showed grandpa how to use Lemmy? But maybe they forgot to explain how federation works? My view is that if it federates with Lemmy then it's part of Lemmy. I think most would agree with that. Why the gate keeping?

This comment has big Dwight Shrute vibes. What is the best bear?

After work I think I'll order some food, maybe pizza and wings, and then hopefully get a round of Mario party in with some friends. I also need to catch up with the most recent episodes of Foundation.

It's a GREAT THING! lol (I actually have no idea)

I also use Flipboard. I setup a pi-hole on my home network about 2 years ago and it blocks pretty much all the ads from Flipboard. It's great when I'm at home, but when I'm anywhere else the ads come through. I'm usually browsing from home so this solution works for me.

Just noticed my ninja account is working again!

That was an amazing cover. Lol

I stopped using Reddit when Apollo stopped working. I joined Lemmy.world on July 4th and moved to my current instance about a month after due to .world being down a lot. I'm happy to be here and watch Lemmy grow and improve.

Idk what it is but that's never been a problem for any of my cats. Over the years we've had like 6 cats (never more than 3 at once) and they always all shared the box no problem.
