Is my kid on her phone more than I'd like? Yes. But she's a straight A student. Doesn't change the fact I want us to be able to contact each other should an emergency arise
I didn't understand CTH so I never joined it. The only reason I knew of it was due to the dollop podcast and they don't even reference that much. I think I just saw it mentioned in a comment
Along with chapotraphouse but the Donald did quite a bit of damage. I swear the Donald was pushed as a honeypot to enrage users who hate the fucking right to get them to engage and then get banned
Honestly what would it take to get more people on lemmy. I only found it by someone saying the boost for lemmy app. I didn't understand the rest of the technical jargon. But it works. Just the interests I have there are either no subs for or very few users.
I can scroll comments for about a minute before that pop-up comes up saying you need the app. But I rarely visit reddit anymore unless it's something I need some information on that I can't find anywhere else.
I swear Reddit started changing as soon as Trump won. I think reddit did such a great job of exposing Republican lies and grifts that some rich ass hole just said we will express interest in investing if you start censoring your content and now here we are
It's fucking laughable "us daily users metric dissapoints". What the fuck do they expect when they ban their long time users permanently with no appeal process, make it so you can only view the site through the app censor any revolt and start bringing on nazis.
It's literally the antithesis of how and why reddit became so popular in the first place.
I'm 48. Grew up without Internet, without cell phones, without fox news.
When 9/11 happened fox became one of the hottest news outlets. I started watching it all the time. Then I started listening to Rush, Glenn Beck, And Michael savage. It was literally changing my thought process. To the point I didn't recognize myself. With that self realization and some friends and family commenting that I turned into a asshole.
I shut that shit off permanently and it took awhile but I finally recognized myself and vowed to do better.
Fight for the causes you believe in. Everything else tune out as much as possible it's the only thing that has kept me sane since Trump's second term. I limit myself to 30 minutes of world news a day.
Don't click or read anything that outrages you, you can always find a summary on reddit or here without giving the right wing media views.
20 plus years of fox News has destroyed this country. And nobody seems to remember a time when most headlines weren't rage bait or just fkn gossip
I usually just search for my TV models calibration settings. Either reddit or some av forum usually has some good settings that work for me.
I've had a Dolby atmos boxed 5.1 sound bar with sub and rear speaker from Hisense since I got it. I think maybe once a year it losses handshake but just restart everything seems to fix it
I'm not going to knock this. I'm a pretty quiet guy and my imagination sucks. I just focus on what I need to do next. I did read to my daughter but I can't make shit up on the fly and I don't do voices
At this point I can't even give them that. Jist wish the most pain and suffering as possible for them
