This is it, in my experience. They think all you need to read is the bible and no other books. But if you’re only reading the bible, you miss out on everything in all other books, which is a lot.

yup yup, i try to keep a clean, decluttered interface, and having all my browser stuff around the discord stuff is not a clean or enjoyable look. I’ll deal with it if it’s really the only way but I’ll try everything else first.

Thanks, I’ll look into it!

true, but I don’t wanna have to log in every time I use it (I have my browsers set to clear cookies and history on close). If it’s the only way I’ll take the inconvenience, but trying to keep the startup process smooth if I can.

Really hoping adblockers for discord become a thing

Damn, even the nurses? Public education is even more of a mess than I thought.

This is so sad to hear.

what happened to school guidance counselors? they still exist, right?

Agreed honestly, the division of any thing by gender seems out of date these days. Go based on skill, age, or weight/height, something… just leave gender out of it.

On the other hand, if you put a transman with the women, he will have a clear advantage and it wouldn’t be fair.

Kind of points out the obvious, but at least it’s scientifically proven now.

corporate vs. free, then zoom into free and vs. bad instances. we still need something like TheBadSpace to help with safety and moderation.

omg you the real mvp

not memes for me but anime. there’s no way to block whole instances i don’t wanna see. if i don’t wanna see ani.social on my feed at all i have to block every community on the instance, which is just not possible.

memes though is gonna be hard for you because a lot of people use meme formats to communicate in any topic. the science side of lemmy memes about science stuff. the programmers meme about computer stuff. but that’s not all they do, there’s more than just memes, there’s actual discussion too. to completely get rid of memes and never see them on a lemmy feed again is gonna be an impossible task.

The Croning by Laird Barron

lol you right

i still judge people who film in portrait tbh. I can’t stand vertical videos, it’s the main reason i never made a tiktok.

once the boomers get there and start liking it, that’s when you know it’s about to reach peak and crash hard. my parents are talking about reddit. case in point.

social engineering

It has to do with the rise in attacks on people of color and LGBTQ people, and the rise in attempts at legislation to turn back the clock on previously won civil liberties. Extreme factionalism and just general overall increase in violence across the nation, particularly in red states. They’re just getting more entrenched in their ways, with some factions actually looking to incite a civil war. They want it.
