I’m not familiar with what’s going on with that. Care to enlighten me?

And I totally get what you mean. More content would be great. I specifically miss my philosophical and spiritual communities from Reddit. I love learning about mythos and different religions, especially the more esoteric stuff, as well as political philosophy. That content just isn’t here in the same way (or sometimes, at all). It would be amazing to have that here. But I’d also rather go without certain things if it means not feeling like I’m being sold a story. Reddit felt like it wasn’t social media in the same way as Twitter and Facebook, but the moment I left it for Lemmy it was this scales-from-my-eyes kind of moment. It was crazy how toxic reddit was for me, and going back a few times, and looking at my old profile, I do not like the person I was there. Always on the defense, always on edge, always prepared to argue a point because I knew some asshole was going to attack me for no reason, and make me defend myself. It’s like it activates the caveman part of the brain and put me in fight or flight. I’d love for Lemmy to get big enough to have awesome content, but not so big as to devolve into that. But I’m not smart enough to know what that balance is, or if it’s even an issue of size, or just culture.

I wonder if the lenses are off gassing? They’re a type of plastic. But most likely I think I just have a face that the US would try to deliver democracy to if they found out about lmao

I’ll be honest, I hope Lemmy doesn’t reach a mainstream audience. It’s nice having a smaller site away from all the bullshit that will inevitably come with mainstream attention. We can say “just defederate! Join another instance” but when we get to a point where giant corpos are running instances that host 95% of users and 99% of content, we’ll be in the same boat as now if we defed, except that Lemmy will then have a mainstream (and thus mostly right of center) image. If this, or a little more, is all we’re ever really going to get on an open source platform that feels open source, I’m okay with that. I like seeing the same usernames around, and feeling like I found the internet equivalent of Stars Hollow, CT

Honestly, that really does track with how shit works in here.

“The orphan crushing machine may contain components known to the state of California to cause cancer”

And we’re done! Fixed all the problems!

The really reputable outlets will phrase it “'this [Lemmy] is… Journalism”’ claims user of the increasingly popular reddit alternative, in post positing the decline of all other forms of media."

This reminds me of Torchwood

no one under observation from a three letter agency should use this.

Whew, good to know I’m safe as I’m only under investigation by the New Mexico Bureau of Investigations. The NMBI

Nope, no rashes that I’ve noticed. But I stopped wearing a belt last year. No good for my body shape. Lol. Swapped it for suspenders, so now I look like a simple country lawyer. Lmao

I mean, I guess it depends on where he’s keeping his phone while nude. He might enjoy a little nude pickpocketing, if he’s open minded, and the pickpocket has sufficient lube

They’re from Zenni, but they have no bottom frame. I have no idea what metal they’re made of. I’d really never considered that

That’s interesting. I hadn’t really considered that. It really only happens towards the end of the day, I just assumed it was a buildup of oils/skin cells/daily detritus that isn’t getting either blown away by air, because the lenses are blocking it, or dried out for the same reason. They’re Zenni frames and lenses

Yay! I’ve wanted to pay OOT and MM 3DS versions forever, and never got the chance. Tried to get the emulator working a few months ago, and just could not make it happen. Maybe I’ll be able to with this

Thank God for Mississippi!

Nope. Not me, either. Better leave my prostate alone. Don’t even touch that. nooo, that would be terrible. Whoops, look at that soap there on the floor… Better get that before someone slips…

I literally came here to post this same gif!

Really it depends. Truck fucking can be way more fun, if you can find somewhere to bend over the tailgate while getting railed. It’s really quite exhilarating. But if you’re in the cab, van is definitely better.

I will admit that since I’ve started wearing glasses, my eyes often burn really badly (I don’t know if they’re related or just weird timing), and I sometimes wonder if my little friends are pissed about the change and getting into my eyes. Lol

Found out about these when I was a kid. I was thrilled. When I was very little, my mom owned a grooming shop, and I basically had 1 million pets. Then she closed down, and we just had our dog and a cat. Weird little 5 year old me loved the idea that I had thousands of little pets that’s slept on my face and came out to play while I slept

Jumping in to ask if you’ve tried carbomazapine (sp?) for the TN? My mom suffered for nearly 2 years with face shocks, sometimes dozens of times per day. That med is the only thing that helped, and we never had a doctor suggest it. I did my own research by looking up medical journals on my school’s library and then asked the doc to prescribe it for her. Almost instant relief

That’s hilarious. And that 5th grader is better at drawing (and has better handwriting) than me. Lmao
