I definitely miss old Reddit, but it’s definitely dead now.
Used to be my go-to scrolling every day. After they screwed 3rd party apps I found Lemmy and love it. There was an obscure open source Reddit app that used scraping that was still working so I’d been using Lemmy and Reddit about 50/50. Nice thing was the Reddit app kept me logged out with no engagement so I wasn’t feeding the beast.
The other day all those little scraping Reddit apps finally died. Just useless. So fuck em I guess. If I ever need a more real-time larger user base I can go on desktop for it, but there is no mobile Reddit option (including offical) that’s even remotely usable now.
Can’t believe how much better the Lemmy experience is, even with its shortcomings. My only issue has been that the desktop web access feels rough. It also stinks not having the benefits of centralized storage. With Reddit I could bookmark anything and everything of interest in something like Raindrop.io and go see it any time months later. With Lemmy things often seem to be gone in days or weeks, or an instance will just be formatted horribly on desktop.
Still more convenient than Reddit and I hope the dev efforts keep polishing things up! 👍
It’s 100% cool to not care about “rap beef”.
The reason this stuff is in the news is because Kendrick is a very influential artist calling out patterns of child abuse and sexual assault in the industry.
Yes, it all came to light through “diss tracks”, but a lot of the accused behavior has been publicly visible for years and simply ignored.
It’s getting media attention because the world has seen people abuse their fame so many times and we still let it happen. Now a modern artist is emphasizing that the most famous “rapper” is an offender and that the industry has these problems everywhere.
I would NEVER condone violence. But hypothetically, as a united States citizen, the most significant thing a person could do is eliminate two Supreme Court Justices.
It’s the only part of our government with ZERO balance of power, and it is currently using its power to change settled interpretations of the law.
100% Has happened many times. Often those things are later re-discovered. But who knows?
How many reporters around the world have had a car spontaneously explode, or suffered sudden-onset jumpeez near a window?
How many scientists and researchers have had significant breakthroughs or discoveries about hazards of waste or energy efficiency, only for their work to suddenly be labeled falsified and personal reputations dragged through the mud?
Depends on length. Fun fact: in most Spanish-speaking countries, only the first letter of the first word is capitalized for things like movie titles and posters. Learning that really made me think twice about how trigger-happy I get with capitalization.
Damn, even after his sick new sneaker line?
Robin Williams had a degenerative neurological disorder and didn’t want to live through the decline. Common misconception as media speculation was “funny man sad” long before the family shared any details.
Steven Universe makes it look so easy
I’d have to agree that anger isn’t usually it’s own emotion, it’s a specific expression of fear or sadness. There are always exceptions I think, but usually there’s more to it.
My favorite thing is to express those things through humor. It’s not for everybody. If you’re not funny enough you can just sound like an idiot or an asshole, as I can. Other times it enables you to attack the root of the problem in a digestible way that doesn’t make a person feel attacked.
I keep thinking how great it would be if the federal government made a central server system to access digital content for free via taxes.
All public domain and publicly funded research and content, all in one place. Could also host owned content for people/entities and pay out royalties automatically based on consumption.
There are ways to make this fairly affordable to everyone via taxes, but maybe the big opportunity is it could also allow companies to train AI on all the data for a fat, but fair subscription. The value of that could easily pay for enough to shrink any tax costs for the public.
I hope they both go down when Team Rocket hears about this
To be clear, people absolutely can and do get past real cheating in relationships.
There are a number of reasons a person might cheat, and most of them have nothing to do with the person being cheated on, or the person being cheated with.
To work forward from something like this, the offender has to to communicate several things very clearly and honestly. Why did you do it? Why did you think it was OK? At what point did you decide it wasnt OK and why? How do you feel about it now and why did it not get discussed sooner?
Ultimately, you’ve described a scenario where your partner is not able to give you the trust needed for a healthy relationship. It sounds like there’s probably not a lot left to be said about the situation between you and if that’s the case then the healthy and respectful thing would be to end the relationship.
If you can’t trust each other its game over. You can keep manually pumping that heart all you want, but eventually you’ll tire out and have to call Time Of Death.
I think accessibility options in games are fantastic and as long as they’re optional you can do no wrong.
I think the best thing, that’s still not as common yet, is the ability to custom map game controls within its settings. Steam’s own software can do this pretty well, but there should be support for that in every game up front.
Not only does it make it easier for people missing limbs or dexterity to play games, but it makes it easier for any person to tweak the controls for their play style.
I really hope we see more support for features like this because they can be so useful to everybody.
I don’t think he was trying to make literal statements with things like that. Yes, he used sociopolitical commentary as his medium, but he was still a comedian.
He’s not trying to convince his audience that everybody is stupid, he’s speaking to a feeling most of us have had when looking at what others are doing. Everyone sometimes feels like like everybody around them must be stupid, just like we all sometimes feel like we’re the only one missing something.
He’s beloved because most really talented comedians can derive humor from relatable or absurd situations and stories, but Carlin could make a rhythm linking broad abstract concepts of human experience to really specific examples.
He’s not a god, he was just a really talented comedian that had a unique style and medium.
Oh boy, yeah, a lot more came out about it. There’s actually been a lot over the years, but a few years ago a pretty serious documentary came out about it. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leaving_Neverland
As others have said, this could be symptomatic of something like ADHD.
I didn’t get diagnosed until 18 and it changed the game. I was very hesitant to start stimulants because of misinformation and stigma, but my doctor corrected a lot of that and it’s changed my life.
Doctor Russell Barkley has been at the forefront of ADHD research for decades and has a YouTube channel that’s packed with useful information. If what you see resonates with you, I’d talk to your doctor about it.
CLR is a cleaning product most popular as a spray. Yellow bottle. It’s really effective, and significantly safer than most harsh cleaning products.
Wet & Forget can be great for a lot of tile or glass showers, but it does seem overpriced.
You can also get little cleaning pods that hang into the toilet bowl to prevent build-up from happening.
Avoid the tablets that go in the toilet tank. They can do real damage to your plumbing and it’s not worth it.
Last advice is only helpful if you own your home, but upgrade your exhaust fan. The humidity can cause dust and such to buildup faster.
While it isn’t magic, there is a newfound pressure on the Democratic party to finally break some meaningful ground.
Unfortunately one of the biggest obstacles had been the radically conservative Supreme Court.
Simple arithmetic tells us that if just two Supreme Court Justices were to suddenly disappear from our reality, and re-emerge in another, the court would lean more progressive to allow debt relief, bodily autonomy, and hopefully more.
While there are many ways to suddenly remove people from our plane of existence, there’s no proven way to have them re-emerge in another. Obviously it would be illegal and deeply unethical to suggest such removal without the safe relocation to another plane.
So I guess just learn to kiss fascist ass 🤷♂️
Here, I made a song about it https://youtu.be/ywrEB2DA2P0?si=GLMaIqJpMCkgh5Es
