Something tells me you haven’t drank your daily verification can of mtn dew

I will never forgive Sir Sanford Fleming for inventing time zones and putting the east coast at UTC -5:00 and making me stay up past midnight to watch sports

I wish I could have intimate relations with sync’s swipe actions

Seattle was a high of 80 today and 71 for tomorrow, no humidity or anything.

I mean I think it’s just different strokes for different folks. There’s a reason 9 million people live in NYC and 4 million in LA. I was in the military for a while and being stationed in very rural places were you could buy a mansion for like 200k was just depressing for me. You had to drive 20 mins to get anywhere, nothing “big” was ever happening in town, food options were lacking. I don’t like guns or cars, which seemed like the biggest appeal for people to live out in the sticks. In the city I can walk 2 minutes to the grocery store, 5 mins to 10 different restaurants, 15 mins to downtown for big events. There’s always something happening and I like knowing if I ever feel like randomly going out there’s something random going on. And paradoxically I feel like living in the city you deal with people way less. No one talks to each other, everyone has something to do and we just ignore each other in pursuit of that. In small towns it was always a 10 minute exchange of pleasantries with the waiter before I could order a beer.

Well, just being the change you want to see. Being vocal about building less car-dependent cities leads to more people being aware a car isn’t necessarily critical to daily life which leads to people voting for people who share those same ideas. Sure it won’t be tomorrow but as someone who hates driving I’m definitely making an effort to drive as little as possible and voting for that lifestyle.

But to answer op’s question, Lemmy’s population as a whole is probably very techy/urbany and young. Very conducive to living in a major city where it’s possible to live without a car.

Don’t worry, once discord succeeds in killing every forum ever, you won’t be able to find anything like this again!

I wonder what the future is gonna hold for famous people. There’s gonna come a time when a rando dev can just press a button and a beautiful, funny, and any other-positive-quality-you-could-want person will be generated. This person will never commit a sex crime, will never say a racist remark, never do anything controversial. I imagine once that happens that’s just kinda it for famous people who represent a brand.

How does that work? I’m a federal employee in a union. You figure if the feds can so can state employees

No takesy-backies!

Hoa fee, no thanks

The main channel is mostly still kind of an internet history. Concordia was an obvious outlier though. But yeah all of his other stuff is basically just him creating whatever he wants with his friends. Humor for me is kinda hit or miss.

Fastmail

My email client supports masked emails so every account I sign up for has its own email address. That’s all synced to my password manager which generates passwords for said account. Vpn always on. I think that’s it?

Same, although my attempts at the other ones were pretty brief. I like liftoff a lot because it has the swipe anywhere to go back gesture, which I love.

The reason why there’s a large influx of users is because the reddit thing finally kicked over so it makes sense that a large amount of comments about it. But I don’t mind those as much as these meta posts complaining about people talking about reddit because it just puts a magnifying glass on everything that is worse here than on Reddit. Of course there’s less interaction, the userbase on Reddit dwarfs Lemmy. Reddit was like this 15 years ago or however long it was. Either you understand why people have migrated here and accept that there’s less of a community or here you stick with reddit. Stop complaining it’s not a 1:1 copy.

So when do we get our own the narwhal bacons at midnight
