Just the fact that your comments and posts aren’t nuked by mods and admins for existing is what puts lemmy well above any popular social media platform.

I think the average user is still wayyyyyy better than reddit because you will actually get a decent chunk of normal responses here, as opposed to an entire thread being filled with completely useless text or karma farming addicts.

And thanks to federation, if you ever do find yourself in a dumb instance like hexbear or feddit (lol), you can just swap to a new instance with no problem, and often users will naturally follow to the better instances where you don’t have content censorship .

That’s some garbage W/R and it also doesn’t mean anything unless they share their account name so we can look at the gameplay stats which shows how good they actually are in whatever ship they play in lol.

I’ve seen a guy with 10,000+ games that were almost all in PvE, so he was dogwater in literally every other gameode.

No one who speaks German could be a killer!

The amount of times this has happend with Nintendo leaves me mystified on why modders and devs don’t bother to use anonymizing tools like Tor.

Its like when you buy a 1tb drive and the real capacity shows up as like 920Gb lol

If you’re in the US, bachelor degrees are pretty worthless lol.

Bans and heavy moderation of content.

I’m glad some of the reddit copy communities here like DankMemes died quickly because it was being run by the same loser mods from reddit.

So far I’ve only been banned from I think maybe 2 communities ever. The only one I remember is one of the NCD communities because the lead mod was a dumb dumb.

I don’t really care about complaints of specific instance users because unpopular opinions and comments deserve to be seen, otherwise you create an echo chamber.

So long as there is no brigading, it is much healthier to see everyone’s input.

Also I hope the r/Chodi crowd never finds lemmy lol.

Fedora

OpenSUSE if you want something non American and not directly related to RedHat

A pretty hefty amount of popular mobile games were actually rips of flash games with microtransaction added lol.

All three NY area airports are notoriously bad in every aspect lol.

Reminded me of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8Goawnz230

I might have missed it but I’m surprised no one has mentioned a tiling WM.

I almost expect them as much as arch users lol.

Darknet Diaries: lmao we live in a surveillance state

Yeah I can’t wait for when enthusiasts want my stacks of 2004 laptop RAM sticks and LCD panels.

The demand will open up any second now

If you’re curious about the history, public school lunches were federally funded and made free under FDR during WWII to combat malnourishment, especially for high schoolers who were getting drafted after turning 18.

It was so successful that the US continued the policy even after the war ended, and hence cafeterias became the default since they include a large kitchen that’s capable of producing high quality food at large quantities.

That is until Reagen, among a crap ton of other things, nuked lots of the socialist policies which included free school lunches.

Schools continued to produce lunch, but you had to pay.

40+ years of insane decline later, and public schools are so under funded that they can’t even afford to produce lunch in their cafeterias anymore. American consumerism shoved its way in, so now everything is prepackaged garbage made as cheaply as possible from the same conglomerates that make unhealthy trash that’s often banned by other countries due to health risks.

The final killing blow was when Michelle Obama failed to tackle this core issue in her student health campaign, and they forced public schools to ban essentially flavor as a concept (anything “high” in salt, spice, oil/fats, calories, etc).

Everything was switched over to “healthy” options which literally just meant low fat/zero calorie slop or sugar slop.

If you want a real kicker, the chocolate milk they served at my HS had 28g of sugar per serving lol. But don’t worry because the vending machines now only have baked potato chips and diet soda.

Charter and private schools aren’t really affected by this since they have alternative funding sources.

If you mean inevitable due to lack of global action, then yeah because that’s how most models present eventual societal collapse.

If you mean because its too far gone, that’s not true. There’s still time to mitigate the issues we’ve created, but the effort required increases every year, and there’s not enough being done about it.

Why am I like this?

Procrastination

And how can I make it stop?

Any well known method that you can probably find on youtube, but the general idea is that you need to overcome the psychological barrier of just starting the task. How you do that is up to you.

Once you start, then you will naturally continue. And once you get in the habit of not dismissing tasks, then you will find it easier to do them from the beginning.

Repurposed my 750ti in my homelab server lol. That poor thing is also likely not gonna rest any time soon.

Still on a 1660ti and probably will be for the foreseeable future lol.
