Make it, id lurk and maybe comment or post now and them

Some of the lemmy front ends have an option to hide posts you’ve already seen. I know connect does.

When I had a gallstone induced pancreatitis they tried to tell me this is what I had. Luckly they still ran some blood work and got me scheduled for emergency surgery.

It was pretty annoying having the doctor trying to blame my severe pain on cannabis use though :/

It’s sooo terrible. I updated my phone not realizing it was going to be such a big change & it kind of ruined my day.

I’d love to go with a different OS, but nothing has stylus support for writing and note taking :/

100% on everything except including sonic adventure 2 in your list. The chao garden was so great in that one i still go back and play it now and then. And the music to the intro stage is a straight up classic lol

A well made hammock really will live forever. 30 years is so impressive!

I was pretty excited when she actually decided to get in it with me :) she gets antsy if I swing to much, but likes the view

It’s a great hammock, i got it used like 5 years ago and it’s still going strong :)

Lol this save also has a rectangle npc hotel. I typically build simple near spawn then build fun stuff around the map as I feel inspired / when I make pylons.

Talk to the guide (starting npc) for tips on what to do next, you can also give him things you find and he’ll tell you what you can craft with them. He’s like the in game wiki and can be very helpful. Also spend lots of time just exploring, and don’t be afrid to die.

When exploring make sure to collect any metals you see, and use them to building upgraded pickaxe and armor. Also build extra houses so you can have lots of npcs move in. I hope you have fun & definetly look things up online if you have questions :)

Lol no shame in a nice rectangle! They’re a classic, so easy and convenient :p

Thanks :) & I’ve never played unepic, it looks cool tho. I’m a fan of platformers, do you think it’s still worth getting a copy?

I also got immediate ai vibes from the photo

For me it’s because his whole shtick the last month has been about ‘eliminating government waste’ then there’s half a billion being set aside for his companies shitty cars? I think it’s the hypocrisy that really makes this particular thing frustrating.

I think this photo in particular got alot of backlash because people think she’s exaggerating her features to look more Asian. Its not super noticeable, but I think people were sensitive to it because ariana grande has a history of role playing as ethnicities she is not a part of. For example her brown face era when she would often use a blaccent and tanned excessively.

Heres a link to a more in depth reddit discussion about her and her shifting presentation: https://www.reddit.com/r/popheads/comments/ahdxyc/can_we_discuss_arianas_skin_tone_and_the/

Also a YouTube video of her very cringe use of AAVE: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=eLOF7Qaklsw

I’ve lived in and worked at a number of co-ops. I think they’re far better for the employee than traditional businesses when implemented in a democratic way. Having control over the workplace and direction of the business is incredibly valuable. It’s also important that the co-op members talk to and know eachother. Having lots of meetings and community building is very typical in this type of business.

Also the type of co-op I’m talking about also returns excess profits to the workers (often with a portion taken out to be put back into the business/saved for a rainy day). In this way they are way better than unions, which no matter how powerful do not fully redistribute profits.

I also think worker co-ops are functionally better than worker communes. Co-ops give much more economic freedom to the workers, and side step many of the pitfalls of live/work communes.

Feel free to ask me more about my experiences if you’re curious :)

It’s grapes of wrath by john steinbeck

I agree with all your predictions to my questions lol.

Though i don’t think rednote will actually take the place of tiktok, I think that’s mostly a protest migration & something else will take the top spot – if tiktok actually stays banned. I do think there’s a chance trump will choose not to enforce the ban in a meaningful way because he knows it will rally quite a few young and nieve voters into his camp (plus he’d probably get a hefty payoff).

Same! I think it is nice to have something developing that isn’t as overwhelmingly frightening as lots of the things in the works right now. Like this is high stakes and says alot about corruption in America, but like at least it’s not something that could potentially put me or my loved ones in harms way.

It’s going to be so interesting seeing how all of this plays out. Will meta succeed in reclaiming their market share? Will a new app take the throne? Will congress just keep banning any app that is too popular and not under the american oligarchys control? Will trump somehow leverage this into him being the one to save tiktok? Will loops UI ever be good enough to compete? Only time will tell.

What a strange timeline we live in lol
