I hate that posting into the void feeling. I blame that more on the microblog format more than any particular platform.

Infinite work glitch

This is one of my favorite channels on YT. A good contribution in giving an overview of all of Stoicism, not just the part that people tend to focus on these days. I do have to dock him some points for mixing up Academic “Skepticism” and actual Pyrrhonian Skepticism, tho.

Many years ago I posted a true story on r/nosleep or r/letsnotmeet (forget which) bc I didn’t realize most of those stories are fake. It was frustrating to realize my weird situation that I wanted other people to know about and empathize with me about (bc the cops did nothing) was largely ignored.

Haven’t been proven wrong so far. I’d love it for the human race to get it together and take its existential threats seriously, but it seems world leaders would rather have pointless wars over territory and argue about cultural issues.

I hate it when articles undercut their own clickbait titles.

In humid climates, shorts should be acceptable work attite.

This is a pretty fun rabbit hole to dive down. The para-biblical book Jubilees retells a lot of the Hebrew Bible stories with added details including naming the patriarchs’ wives. A more interesting reading is that because they are omitted in the Genesis account, quite possibly a lot more people were also not mentioned. This led to the “pre-Adamite” doctrine, that Adam and Eve were not the first humans. Of course there’s also the Talmudic account of Lilith which has gained a lot of popularity recently.

@CarlsIII Is there a way to set defaults at all? I always want subscribed + newest

Networked, autonomous local communities.

I noticed posting from lemmy.world is really buggy. I started composing in another app as a failsafe. Kbin doesn’t seem to have this issue, and maybe other Lemmy instances don’t either.

Given how ruthless the FCC is, the best we can hope for at this point is a deathbed confession.

@tiredofsametab

I saw a post that automatically grabbed a NSFW furry thumbnail pic from somewhere but it wasn’t in the linked article, nor did it show up on Lemmy.

@lom I asked this question a few days ago in @kbinmeta . I think it’s to do with how upvotes (don’t) federate or how many comments are posted/ federate to an instance’s copy of a post.

@Aityz

The main subs I follow are more or less back to normal or never protested to begin with. Two tiny subs I mod have been getting hammered with Temu spam and because the built-in moderation tools don’t seem to help I set them to restricted.

The big difference is on /all. Some popular subs have been largely replaced like r/AITA -> r/AITAH & r/TwoHotTakes. But a lot of the usual content is completely missing and in their place are the food delivery and selfie subs.

I’m weary of people who make this mistake.

My aunt still does separate loads for reds+yellows and blues+greens. Boomers don’t know dyes and detergents have come a long way in the last few decades.

That’s what you get for selling out to Mews Corp.
