I love how the 3 kids are basically Bart, Lisa and Maggie.
Yeah it was the diver thing that made me realize he was an egomaniac. A loud egomaniac.
they announced they were going to start paying people for content
I must have missed this. Do you have a link?
Spoken like someone who has never won over a cat. Cats are absolutely capable of affection and have preferred humans, they just don't give it out for cheap.
Oh gawd, this takes me back to the cute little X10 Mini Pro I had. Such a handy little device for the time, had a slide out keyboard. I miss those.
You guys underestimate the amount of abuse that people who have nothing else are willing to go through.
Just leaving additional peer pressure here. WE WANT PICS!
I'm a creator on certain instances and participator/lurker in some others. I'm mostly posting events happening in my city. Discussion is sparse right now but I figure it's better to have sparse conversation than NO conversation.
I initially had the same lament, but since we're early adopters of this tech, it really is on us to build the communities here. If you want to discuss something, just post a thread. Even if no one replies right away, as people start coming they will start engaging with posts that are already there.
Right on man. My last comment on R3dd!t told people the amount of time they spent figuring out how to still use 3rd party apps, they can direct that effort into learning how to participate in the Fediverse. Got a hundred-ish downvotes so that means a hundred people now know Lemmy exists.
I'm done episode 3 and I'm going "ugh". Not in the same way that the first 5 seasons had me going UGH but still an unsettling feeling in my gut about the story Charlie Brooker is trying to tell. Ep 1 and 2 were pretty good on that front but I feel like ep 3 turned on a dime in believable character actions.
Nope, I wiped a lot of the stuff in my alt when the Aimee Challenor thing happened and tbh, I've been pretty disengaged since then because I found the real world to be more interesting.
The message boards I frequented when I was 14 don't exist anymore and thank fucking god. You don't want this cringe stuff tied to you 20 years down the road. You'll find that the memories of good times are enough!
Buuuuuuuuddy... come on.
although she once said months ago that she wanted to be friends
Sorry man, this is totally and definitely the way an 18 year old breaks up with another teenager. This was LD and you never met in person and had no plans to close the gap? I know it seems like a very real relationship to you right now, but I guarantee you that once you meet someone else and in person, this will be a very distant memory. You're going to look at this in 5 years and cringe at the amount of effort you put into writing a post about someone who ultimately doesn't matter.
