Do you know where I can see a list of piefed instances?

I take them off because I can’t see shit.

I really hate how mobile hotspot is considered separate from regular data. It’s the same especially if your mobile speeds are are capped anyway. It’s like dental not being included in your health insurance as if your teeth aren’t part of your body.

I don’t have any. I instead subscribe to as many communities I find interesting and set my feed to only my subscriptions. I rarely venture out to All and only do when I want to discover more communities.

I use a thick pillow to hug and a folded blanket for my head. The blanket’s thickness can be customized to fit. The real problem is in hotels were both pillows are usually huge, so it’s literally a pain in the neck.

Found this: https://github.com/sponsors/twingyeo-kr.

A quick translation says:

Hello, twingyeo.kr is a Mastodon instance operated by Team Onstables Co., Ltd. Currently, in order to create a ‘space where everyone can rest comfortably’, our instance is covering all operating costs with the income from the software development sector of Team Unstablers Co., Ltd., the main operator, without any means of generating profits such as advertising.

Maybe the instance is down that’s why it’s unreachable.

The heat index in my city right now as I type this comment is 42C/107F. And summer is just starting. This is gonna suck.

As someone who took the plunge and moved halfway across the world, this comment really resonates with me and I understand your perspective. But hey, maybe Dubai can be a stepping stone instead of a final destination. Once you establish yourself there and (hopefully) earn enough (that you otherwise won’t be able to do in your home country), you can probably try to explore moving to a third country if the dream doesn’t go away. Good luck!

That’s the beauty of decentralization. If a billionaire somehow wants to buy a lemmy instance (unlikely), and the instance owners agree (unlikely), users will just switch to a different instance and other instances will just defederate from it (likely).

My wife says cream cheese and fruit jams/preserves.

Air fryer as well. Sometimes faster than a conventional oven.

A cozy EP, one that you can usually hear in jazz, fusion, and r&b.

An 8-string guitar with a clear heavy djent tone, like Meshuggah, Tesseract, and Animals As Leaders.

Ask him first why he didn’t like it. You can’t convince him otherwise if you don’t know why it doesn’t interest him.

Lol thanks for trying to figure this out for everyone else.

What they are referring to is what Remmick said to Preacherboy that the prayer they were reciting was passed down to him from his father who got it from the people who stole his land. I’m not well versed in the history of those parts, but I’m guessing the English vs Irish. He’s implying that he too was once upon a time a victim of oppression as well.

Freshman year. Me and a guy from another class got pulled in by the guidance counselor. He told us some girls from a higher year told him we brought porno mags to school. We were literally just a few months into high school and I barely knew the other guy. Maybe that was their idea of a prank? Anyway, nothing came out of it fortunately.

Can anyone see anywhere they say when it takes effect? They don’t say it on the official announcement either.

QR coding everything. It has it uses and is practical in certain use-cases, but don’t use it everywhere.

Lower back specifically. Sneezing, not sitting straight on the couch even for just a few minutes, lying prone for an extended period, etc.

We have our very own Karen in our neighborhood. She’s the type who’s always mad in the neighborhood group chat. Like saying she has her husband kill any snake they see because she hates them, even though other people were saying some snakes aren’t venomous and actually help with keeping rats at bay. There was also a time where I mentioned outdoor cats (there is one in our neighborhood), while great at controlling rats, can also potentially decimate other wildlife like birds, etc. And she just scoffed and said she doesn’t care. Whenever someone alerts the group that there are suspicious people walking around or something, she always responds with “locked and loaded” or “shoot first before asking”, etc.

Anyway, if there’s one thing that the entire neighborhood, including the Karen, is united in, it’s our hate for the useless corporate HOA. So on that front, I’m fine with her being a Karen if we let her loose at the HOA. We had the annual HOA meeting recently and while homeowners were taking turns airing their grievances on zoom, the Karen was blasting the neighborhood group chat because she couldn’t figure out how to unmute herself or type into the zoom chat lmao. So all she could do was swear in the group chat and telling us she was shouting at the HOA that they were liars, etc. even though nobody could hear her. Anyways, it wouldn’t have been productive if she could speak in the meeting because all she will do is swear and removed at them, instead of the cooler heads who were making sure the HOA commits to fixing them and documenting them. We had lawyer and accountant homeowners who were more productive in getting what we needed.
