I dunno, I feel like anyone drawn to Lemmy for that reason will find lemmy.ml nearly as easily. If world suffers because of bad practices, well, that’s the way it goes. At least the fediverse lives on.

I mean, “bad” in this case is completely subjective. There are large trans communities on other instances (blahaj being the most obvious one) and they have their reasons for defederating from Hexbear.

Meh, that’s kind of the point, no? Seems like it would be more jarring to only federate at the community level, as you either a) still have to interact with people from the unwanted instance or b) deal with randomly hidden comments from that instance. If the community dies because it’s on an unpopular instance, well, that’s the way it goes. Can always start up/join a community on another instance that’s federated with yours.

Oh wow, haven’t watched Beer and Board Games in a while!

“Why don’t you donate that money?”

“Why don’t you?”

I was looking around at rental houses a few years back because the owner of our current rental was kicking us out to sell. I visited a house that the owner was “flipping” for rental and noticed there was no stove/oven. I asked the owner about it and he said “oh, tenants usually bring their own.”

Place was sketchy as hell in other areas, too; tons of those cheapo plastic panel walls propped up at odd angles hiding god knows what, bare hardwood floors that had clearly had the carpet ripped up without refinishing or even removing all the staples, and slanted floors that really made me feel like I was about to fall into the basement. Luckily we were able to find another place, but it was a low CoL area and I’m sure some desperate family got stuck in that heap.

It’s insane to me that they would try to pull this shit and then try to sell us on the evils of piracy.

I remember getting in trouble in preschool for wondering aloud how you spell “bitch.” Timeout wasn’t even the worst part; they ruined all my markers ;(

Generally starting around 25 you’re encouraged to get annual checkups. They check for cervical cancer and do a quick breast exam and then send you on your way. It’s also a time to go over any irregularities of the past year and to discuss birth control and the like.

Some people also see gynecologists as their regular doctor, going to them for general health checkups.

Out of curiosity, what is the practical use of full N-key rollover? I can’t think of many things that require me to press more than maybe five keys at a time.

Good luck! The journey may be tough but I believe you will make it.

I seriously encourage everyone to read this book, even if you read it back in school and found it boring. It’s incredibly topical to this day.

I also just read In Dubious Battle for the first time and recommend it. A great illustration on why it’s so hard to get together and organize when it seems like it should be easy.

Dude can pry my debugger from my cold, dead hands.

Honestly who cares if he wears a diaper? Nothing wrong with that, he’d be a terrible person with or without it.

Need one of those geoguesser guys to figure out where this is

Not to mention Travelocity broke the law by allowing her to work for free while benefiting their company.

In general, as long as an employee is engaging in activities that benefit the employer, regardless of when they are performed, the employer has an obligation to pay the employee for that time.

I have the opposite experience, I only watched it a couple years ago and thought the hype would totally kill it for me, but I actually ended up really enjoying it and EoE in particular stuck with me. I loved the idea that love is born of the risk we take of truly being known by other people.

I will say that the quality of the Netflix dub probably helped a lot. I know they changed some translations which kinda sucks, but overall the voice acting is so much better. No hate to Spike Spencer, he’s obviously a very prolific voice actor, but I think his performance of Shinji is at least part of why people thought he was so whiny. We were originally going to watch through the rebuild movies dubbed, too, but it was so bad we decided to switch to sub.

Yeah, I can get into a series if people say to skip the first couple episodes/seasons because it takes a little to figure itself out (like how you can skip the first season of Parks and Rec and miss nothing of importance), but weird watch order is not something I’ll bother with.

I wouldn’t bother with anything weird, just watch the series through and then the movies in release order. It might not be “optimal” but I don’t think it needs to be. You can skip Death, though, since it’s just a recap (there was originally a year between the end of the series and EoE)

I think one really interesting case of this is “sonder”, which has gained some popularity despite being explicitly invented a little over a decade ago.
