This is probably my main issue. I have a technical problem, I provide detailed reasons why it is a problem, and propose solutions. I ask for feedback from the team, because I don’t want to railroad people and appreciate multiple perspectives.

I’ll try to be more succinct in my messages going forward, which are generally only 5 sentences or so. If this issue still persists I have another problem.

I like your style, internet stranger.

We’re just circling a big drain

It may be my perspective comes from western civilization, but do Buddhists have similar child abuse scandals?

That sounds like a time sink but I may give it a try lol

I’m going to approach this from the perspective of someone playing Kerbal Space Program. Early on in the career mode, you need money to build new rockets, gather science, and develop new designs that take you further into space. Without early on tourists, you’re sunk. They provide a lot of the hype and money so you can research/get to that next phase.

Real life is different, I get it. I doubt these celebrities paid much if anything. It’s just rich people doing rich people stuff.

That is one of the things that makes lemmy unique - if you want to, you can spin up your own instance and make a community. It can even be the same name!

I am all in on decentralized social media at this point. I really dislike the ads, astroturfing, and fake accounts meant to boost brands.

I stole it from somewhere else, so seems only fair

The cosmic horrors persist, but so do I

I left reddit and deleted my accounts, post and comment history. I had modded a couple high sub communities there and felt it had become less friendly over the years. I initially joined in 2011 but only really started using it during the Digg exodus.

Lemmy feels like old school reddit. So I use it 99% of the time and only check some very specific subreddits when I need to look up something for work.

Ouch my balls

I have only once ever had to present my card. Sits in a bankers box in storage somewhere, I think?

It’s down all around but not 40% down

Damn it, I’ll take the corpse

This is specific to gaming, which it does great at. I’ve been running Ubuntu since late 2023 with no issues.

Every moment of your life, you have been traveling through space and time. Even in the time it takes you to read this comment, you have passed through vast distances on the rock we call Earth.

Imagine they accept the refugees, then a rug pull happens and aid stops anyway

I get mine outside Showbox Market late at night

There are plenty and too many to list here.

I was just asking a friend this last Friday. The party is led by out of touch boomers, backed by moneyed interests, and refuses to change. They’d rather not rock the boat or be the cause of a division in our society. Yet here we are, more divided than ever and growing by the day.

At least it wasn’t by their hands?
