I think reddit skews older and therefore so does Lemmy, but the more younger people who join the more likely we are to get a bit of a snowball effect going! Hopefully some others in your age demographic see this post and suggest something. What are some things you feel sets gen z apart? My younger sister would be considered on the older end of gen z but I don’t think her interests are particularly standard.

I do think forum style communities like reddit and lemmy/kbin are more focused on particular hobbies which span generations more easily. For example I have a background in audio and spend a lot of time on the Gearspace forums which skew much older than me, but that doesn’t make me feel particularly out of place except for the clear class divide (like people recommending really expensive gear to newbies or talking about how they write from their mountain retreat).

Main character hard to relate to

A lot of rich people like to feel like they’re getting an ‘authentic’ experience on vacation so they visit remote villages and hire locals (who are usually well versed in entertaining rich tourists) to give them ‘authentic’ tours and taste the local booze. I doubt this is what Twain was talking about though.

Very interesting! What about others sensations like falling or feeling a surface?

That’s why I asked, wanted to hear people’s varied experiences

Dying @ the spongebob dream (nightmare?)

I don’t recall a dream conversation! I will add that I’m not particularly in touch with my dreams (I know some people keep a journal and such). None of the handful of ones I can recall include speaking though.

I don’t use it because I learned about it from my boss’s middle school girls soon after it was released when that was the main demographic so I still feel super weird about adults using it.

That said banning a social media platform at the federal level is a super authoritarian move and is rather unprecedented. Federal book banning will be next (oh no a chinese author!).

I thought you were serious at first, please mind my blood pressure

Seize the commons back!

Tell your boss you’re sorry for leaving early and you have some “stuff” going on at home but that it won’t impact your work schedule anymore. If coworkers bring it up just ominously repeat that you’ve got some “stuff” going on. Maybe you just lost your dog with cancer, they don’t know and probably already assume your reaction was about something more than spelling. Laugh off everything else they might say.

PS: I have a masters degree and still can’t spell well in English— it doesn’t have a consistent phonetics.

Perfectly fine for a boardroom to approve sending a low quality version of their baby formula to countries with low regulations and better quality to countries with more regulations. If the babies want the higher quality kind they should move to a better country!

Indeed, this post was inspired by a friend who spends an inordinate amount of time off the clock trying to get charts into just so shape so that claims go through. The exact way they want you to phrase stuff and what tests they need to see in the chart before approval changes regularly so practices basically have to hire a dedicated staff to keep up and let the doctors know about changes. Also results in small practices being driven out of business.

Agreed, OP’s post is what they WANT you to say— don’t help them out guys

If you make memes this is a good place to get an unfried version of this one I guess

It looks like they haven’t sold it, original buyer (some music studio in dubai) owns it

They call me Dr. Worm, I’m not a real doctor but I am a real worm

[Partisan] americans also like to wave off the roughly 1/3 of eligible voters who don’t vote at all as if they just forgot or were too lazy to vote or something. A lot of people are disillusioned with the whole thing, but the partisans are the loudest and the media mostly cares about them so it makes it sound like it’s 50/50.

According to the latest gallup data about 27% identify with each of the two major parties and about 43% as independent (of major parties).

Won’t even draw a hard line at genocide

They’re having military practice nearby me today and my partner and I were just talking about how we both flinch when we hear military planes (small and fast) fly overhead even though neither of us has lived in a war zone.
