  • Did you drink alcohol when you were younger than me?

  • I took my first drink when I was 35. I considered myself an athlete and didn't want anything messing with my body. Plus, none of my friends drank.

  • TIL there's a Reeses flavoured toothpaste

  • Look at the box. It's flavour. This is Australia and only the U.S. uses flavor. The rest of the English-speaking world uses flavour.

    How do I keep getting downvotes from a post I deleted several days ago?

  • There's a place in settings where you can hide down votes.

  • What age do you stop trusting the government?

    Jump

  • I think it depends on the trustworthiness of your government. Even then, it's a scale that slides depending on the situation. I'm in my 70s and feel my government is going through a very solid stage right now. My trust level is at one of the highest level.

  • TIL there's a setting in Lemmy that hides down votes.

  • Good question. I'll check that. While I don't have a problem with the concept of a down vote, I feel like it negates discussion. I'd rather have someone express their opinion if they have a problem with my comments, rather than mindlessly slap a down vote on it.

  • Yup. You can do both or either.

  • That's interesting. I wonder how it affects how people post and comment.

  • In the instances that eliminated down votes, how did it change your posts and comments?

  • Hey, thanks. That's a great feature.

  • Faith is not restricted to believing in things unseen. Faith can be believing in something even when the empirical evidence and logic aren't strong enough to make it likely. This applies both to the existence of a higher being and the presumption that all the matter, energy, and order of the universe appeared from nothing.

  • It takes just as much faith to believe that the universe came into existence out of nothing as it does to believe a higher being created it.

  • Commas are important

  • How would you feel if someone moved next to your residence and you found out they're a cop? Would you move away? Or try to get on their good side? Or something else?

    Jump

  • I don't think you can judge cops worldwide by the cops in your country.
