We are

Overrated in my experience

If I understood anything about Lemmy I would have made it already because I’ve had the same thought. Unfortunately I’m basically tech illiterate

The day I have to give some billionaire creep my biometrics to go to a show is the same day I decide I’m never going to a show again

Just act like you already knew that then impress someone else with it later so you 1) don’t give the person who told you any validation and 2) get that validation for yourself from someone else

Can confirm, married to one and it’s 100% the right column with out exception for decades on end

The bees at my house are WAY fatter than this and yes I constantly fat shame them

This and the shoebill stork are the only 2 birds that freak me out super bad (and basically all owls)

I had to teach myself to say lol all the time via text and it absolutely helps with tone, so does using emoji which was something else I had to force myself to do. I seem less mature I guess but I don’t come off as a blunt asshole anymore and my conversations go a lot smoother

Neil Smokin DeGrasse Tyson forgetting what he’s already posted lol

I may be a bear…

The types of people who say this stuff are solipsists if that helps. THEY can’t personally go see it land so from their perspective it’s fake

More like living in the ICU for six months and having a very bad time

UNEXPECTED ITEM IN BAGGING AREA

I’ve done it once, it wasn’t that bad

Zuc specifically seems to be floundering more than the others, not that it matters obviously but I think it really shows he hit a jackpot not that he’s especially skilled, smart or talented.

The 2016 point is, on point. I remember the absolute flood of pro-Trump, incel, conservative content that felt completely inorganic and had very little representation prior popping up literally everywhere, everyday. It was like a firehose of far right fringe ideas was aimed at Reddit. Reddit 100% had problems prior but it was mostly focused on violence/sexual violence towards women and girls and wasn’t ever on the front page, other than maybe Jailbait. Even at the time people using Reddit were aware and talking about how unnatural it all seemed but now it’s too far gone and been normalized.

I was a very early Reddit user, and a “power user” for over a decade who was permanently banned for “inciting violence” by saying I was surprised Kanye hadn’t murder/suicided Kim or Taylor yet as a joke. I think my far left progressive comments were more likely the reason.

Even huge thriving communities on Reddit have zero representation here. The culture is also hyper specific on Lemmy. I find Lemmy to be generally more tolerant of my progressive, feminist, disabled person views but also if I want to talk about them there’s not that many places, but there are what feels like hundreds of options to talk about stuff I have absolutely no interest in like operating systems. I think it’s a diversity issue

I love that we are killing the earth for this

Jarvis comes to mind, although I’m only familiar with it from early iron man movies, idk if they gave it a better personality later
