Wtf… This is all covered in the article that YOU posted.

She hasn’t promised anything. It just says she is supporting a proposal.

You’re never going to get all Democrats to be satisfied with any candidate, ever. People are going to complain because they love complaining. That said, I think most people are probably fine with her.

I see the problem as, most people on Lemmy are already signed up to an instance that they are happy with. If the instance offers something to really differentiate itself, such as a focus on certain types of communities, or different types of rules or moderation than most other instances, then it might have a chance at catching on. But otherwise, I feel like it would be very hard to promote an instance if its 95% the same as all the other instances.

Yeah, this seems like such an odd claim, because all one has to do is go to Kbin.social and the downvote buttons are right there.

Then for the next week your internal clock is messed up and you can’t actually fall asleep when you want to.

Learn some alphabets of foreign languages. Russian is fun because some of the characters looks like English letters but have completely different sounds. Korean is also cool because it looks crazy complex but it’s actually extremely simple.

Use it for a grilled cheese sandwich. Or just about any kind of sandwich.

This is the thing that most companies seem to obsess over these days: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Net_promoter_score

I think it’s just a fad.

So there used to be this cartoon called Silverhawks, which was about these dudes who are partially made of metal and they can fly.

First dream I can remember, I was at the doctor and they wanted to give me a shot in my leg. I was really afraid of needles at the time, but suddenly I became a Silverhawk. The nurse was trying to stick the needle in my thigh, but my thigh was metal, so her plan was foiled.

The RIF app was reddit to me. I would typically spend over an hour per day on it.

I do still check Reddit maybe once a day on my desktop, maybe for about 5 minutes. There are still a few communities on there which don’t have an active alternative here on Lemmy. However, I have deleted all my old posts and comments, and I do not make any new ones.

It’s kind of the opposite for me. Like many people said, when you are young, every experience mostly feels new. However, when everything feels new to you, there’s really nothing special about it. For me, I always embraced the familiar. I look back at my memories of family vacations with disappointment, because as everyone else was wanting to go and do fun things, I was complaining about how I would rather be watching TV or playing my gameboy. Now as an adult, I understand how precious our experiences can be. I look out at a mountain and I appreciate the beauty of it. I think about the history that has taken place around it. I think about how other people might have experienced it. I get so much more from it than I ever would have as a child.

The part where the girl checked under her bed, then she looked back up and the monster was in the bed with her… That was the part that got me.

Wow, this thread has been really eye opening. As someone who completely hates exercise (I honestly can’t imagine many other things that are more unpleasant), it had never really occurred to me that people exercised because they genuinely enjoyed it. I always just assumed that everyone else hated it and just forced themselves into it.

I find these two to be good for finding sources with different perspectives:

After some time, you might see that there are a few specific sites that you like, and you can just start going to them directly.

I heard a lot about how msg can make stuff taste great, so I bought some a while back and I try it every now and then, but I can’t really tell the difference. If I use too much I do notice that it makes the taste worse. I don’t know if I’m doing it wrong.

Twisty puzzles, such as the Rubik’s cube. Just to start with the basic Rubik’s cube itself, there are a lot of ways to enjoy it. There are competitions for solving in a variety of different ways, from the standard speed solving, one handed, blindfolded, or fewest moves. Then there are tons of different puzzles that you can get, perhaps even hundreds of different ones. They can be different shapes, have different number of layers to turn, or turn in unusual ways. It can be fun and relaxing to get a new puzzle and figure out a solution by yourself.

B&J is already considered a liberal company, so I doubt conservatives could boycott it. To boycott, they would have to admit that they were buying it to begin with.

Seems like this question pops up somewhere every other day, but I guess it’s fair with so many new people joining.

I personally love Connect for Lemmy the best. It’s got some nice options to customize the interface, and for me, after changing some of those options I think it’s the most similar to RIF which I was using on Reddit.

Can’t go wrong with pizza.
