thanks for sharing! ❤️

re: Tankies: I’m 90% sure that’s part of the inexperienced and immature crowd; they - like the vegans and the anti-renting crowd - all have super tunnel vision. Zero nuance or discussion. They fixate on one point to the exclusion of any sanity (which is heavily a spectrum symptom).

HOWEVER, I should add in my rant, there is one other odd / good thing about Lemmy: significantly higher ratio of non-Americans. More language/ communication barriers I’ve encountered from it, and they are still mostly the aforementioned groups - but hey, not 99% Americans here.

re: Asperger’s: heh, I get you. Honestly, imo: own it. Like the LGBT crowd taking the word “gay” back, I see no problem with “Aspys” reclaiming Aspergers.

Linux, vegans, anti-renting, autists (literally, not a slur); it’s a good mix of the worst of Reddit, without the racism & nazis of Reddit. The biggest longterm difference is that almost no-one on Lemmy has any skills or experience. Flying Squid is 47 and only discovered that coupons existed on the internet last month. There aren’t knowledge experts on topics like Reddit has.

Honestly, Reddit has been looking better and better. Overall, conversations are more wholesome than on Lemmy. Which is weird as fuck.

I mean, don’t get me wrong: r/conservative and plenty of places are cesspools of filth, but you can get banned from reasonable subs by posting or joining garbage subs. It’s done a lot to make things less shit.

CEO is still garbage, mods are mixed, etc.

that would be the correct, nuanced approach, yes. But that isn’t how things are on Lemmy.

basically, Lemmy doesn’t think people should be allowed to rent. You either own a house or live in a hotel. No inbetween.

Still struggling with English, I see?

the power of dexamphetamines at play here.

…I love images containing crosswalks.

can I use your website now?

while you’re doing God’s work, to also remind people that the “bypass paywall clean” browser extension exists, and works on a lot of websites.

That title could be better.

proof you weren’t: BC has had a huge homeless problem for decades that is only getting worse.

I hope you’re well stocked on your vit D supplements.

“why are so many parents bad parents and/or messed up people in general?”

That’s a big can of worms you’re trying to open, GF.

as much as we all hate Liberal voters*, and gentrification and rising prices - Byron Bay is ground zero for hippy anti-vaxxers and the resurgence of measles in Australia.

So… I’m torn.

* for Americans, the Liberal party (capital ‘L’) are the conservatives. Basically, wannabe Republicans. They’re economically liberal, not socially liberal. That is, like all conservatives, they like wasting government money and giving liberal amounts to corporations.

jeezus you really are dumb as hell aren’t you?

no.

covering up to protect against skin cancer has been so successful that for a while rickets were a concern in parts of Australia.

don’t stress - they’re being disingenuous.

you again. 🤦‍♂️

the only thing inside Russia scabbards is a note that says “IOU 1 sabre - loves and kisses, Russian oligarchs”

Lemmy people are generally extremely repulsive.

I’ve run cables between floors, down stairs and such. Stairs make things easier, because you can run the cable across them without tripping anyone, or needing to cover them. You can wind through bannisters to avoid using tape too.

Also, you should only be running one cable, and putting a switch at the other end.
