    Do you think my ban from x is valid?

    Jump

  • Abusive and harassing language is against most social media TOS. It doesn't matter who the comments are for, it is still valid. Also, don't use X.

  • What's your version of "I DON'T like it but I do like people who do like it"?

  • See, I have ebooks I want in audio, so I have to settle for 'robot' android voice when there is no 'audiobook option'

    Any good podcast recs? Any genre/subject is fine.

  • I agree. I used the term 'marijuana aficionado' because I hang out with those who exclusively smoke bud straight up from the dispensary. I don't get involved with other types of users.

  • There is research and papers showing that heavy music in general can actually be therapeutic and make someone calmer, rather than the perceived opposite effect. It can be a great outlet. I listen to metal, heavy music, all the time but when I have used it as a coping mechanism, i.e. an outlet for stress, it has definitely allowed me to release such tension. Not only that, but singing/screaming to vocals along to the music surely does release all of energy, and while there are outsiders who might perceive the music as 'angry' the incorrect connection they're making is that anger is an energetic emotion, as in unreleased energy/tension. Metal isn't angry music, it is energetic. That is why it makes such good workout music. It stimulates and satisfies that part of our lives, letting us be some of the 'nicest, most wholesome and fun people all around'.

  • Marijuana Aficionados. I've been straight edge my entire life but always hung out with them. Now, it is more common since legal restrictions have been lifted. The community in general is well, chill.

  • Shared from MeFi: "What the size of your book collection says about you"

    Jump

  • All non-fiction how to books in print. The only novels I own are on ebook, via PDF on my phone. No number but just a few gigs worth. I can only consume novels in an audio book (narrated via app rather than an audio file). Chump change. Could estimate only about a couple hundred.....You need about 5K according to ALA to be a library.

    Why do people defend assholes

    Jump

  • Sorry to tell you but American platforms/forums are as bad, if not worse. Anytime I say something that can be picked apart and destructively critiqued--it will be. There is no immune place, aside from a community or platform that only accepts positivity and removes or bans negative comments etc.

  • TIL you can get a DUI in a wheelchair (not confirmed)

    Jump

  • Only in a motorized wheelchair, at least that is what people have been charged with. Could not find an example of manual wheelchair DUI, yet article says you can in any wheeled vehicle, such as a wheelchair or bike. One of several sources for confirmation, USA. https://www.findlaw.com/legalblogs/criminal-defense/yes-you-can-get-a-dui-in-a-wheelchair/

    Note: and I would imagine these people had to be visibly, obviously and arguably endangering others, I wouldn't expect to see a cop stop someone in a motorized wheelchair randomly just to test them and charge them.

  • What's your favorite Spongebob episode?

  • The one where they are in the wishing well:

    Squidward: can you not stand so close you're making me claustrophobic

    Patrick: why does claustrophobic mean?

    SpongeBob: it means he's afraid of Santa clause

    Squidward: no it doesn't

    Patrick: ho ho ho

  • Okay, so there are flaws with this. There is first. Because it depends on whether in the future, the good guys or bad gouts see the communications first. If the bad faction of time travelers see the message first, they could come destroy the data. You could hope that the good guys see it later in the timeline and undo that by rescuing you with your data but there is still a circle effect going on. The bad guys can still counter the good guys and vice versa. An endless undoing/redoing cycle.

    You place X amount of messages, but it is not specified how many enemies versus good time travelers there are. So it is impossible to know who will see one of your messages first, starting the cycle. Even getting the data to a safe place, someone in the timeline along the way can see your messages and go to a place to stop you from securing said data. It would be never ending. The idea is to let the good guys know without the bad guys if you go that route. If you rigged the messages cryptically and they ended up asking a question that only the good time travelers would know, giving them say a location to rescue you for this plan to work.

  • How many eggs do you eat in a week?

  • Eggs still only 3 something where I am. Don't eat em much but maybe a dozen each month or two.

  • Time for the serious question... which brand bacon bits do you prefer and why

    Jump

  • The Hormel Real Crumbled Bacon, I don't have a Kroger near me so I've never had theirs. It has various sized bits of bacon. I've been putting them on croissants with different cheeses and heating in microwave.

  • If I want to make a lemmy community, in what ways does the instance I make it on matter?

    Jump

  • Wait, I see community posts on instances that are defederated with lemmy.world. is It because I had to search for them and subscribe?

    Edit: how are defederated instance's posts crossposted on Lemmy.world?
