For 2, I initially thought the same thing…but Trump is on board to “finish the job” in Palestine. I’m sure all the countries controlled by a corrupt Muslim government have SOME mixed feelings on the orange turd.

Either way, I’m glad it failed. Just imagine the Christ allegory his cult would spin out of it.

So it seems! Oh well, no hard feelings here

Are we reading the same thread? Nowhere in the comments does OP ask for UK-specific terms. OC said “the sticks” doesn’t mean poor (agreed) and mentioned what the UK. OP accepts then asks for a better term and I replied with my anecdote.

“Backwoods” is what my friend calls the poor part of “the sticks” so I believe my reply was relevant

…where did OP ask for UK-specific terms? I didn’t say “the estates” was wrong, I answered OP’s question in a comment chain that happened to start with a UK terms for poor neighborhoods…

Local terms will surely vary, he’s from the US east coast

My friend grew up in the type of neighborhood you’re describing and he calls them “backwoods communities”

As much as I hate what reddit has become, it was a LOT less of a problem over there. And despite its reputation for having power tripping mods, the communities with strictest rules were almost always the best ones

A well-moderated community is a good community online. Self policing doesn’t work when it’s thousands of strangers

Nah, I have a different gripe:

When the reddit exodus happened, Lemmy was flooded with copycat communities for every popular subreddit. That’s fine with me. But what’s not fine is that very few of these communities use the same posting rules (if any at all) so they’re homogenized. Like what is the difference between nostupidquestions and asklemmy?

I have another one that’s not specific to Lemmy but absolutely applies: meme “communities” where it’s all reposted content. I used community in quotes because these communities/subreddits/Instagram accounts are just…meme archives. You’ll find the same shit in every single meme archive on the internet. It feels like it’s less about sharing and more about having the biggest bucket.

Turn off your computer, move to a cave in the mountains, and abandon society.

A bit extreme but there is nothing you can do to stop your messages from appearing on Windows machines except not sending them to anyone who might view them on Windows machines…which will definitely be nearly impossible in 2024

I wouldn’t say I “believed” but I tried it with an open mind expecting SOMETHING to happen. I borrowed some expensive headphones from the audio production department at school, got relaxed in my bed with a couple candles going, plugged into my nice DAC and…all I got was bored. I went through like 10 different tracks. Quite the disappointing experience.

the MAGA political class, which remains fundamentally liberal

Zionist is an insult equivalent to Serial Killer. Yeah, we know it’s a bad thing.

Garden State…could not tell you a single thing about the film but when it was released, the soundtrack was full of my favorite artists at the time

Honorable mention: Most Wes Anderson films have pretty thoughtful soundtracks but I’ve never been blown away or introduced to a new band

I knew I’d like it as soon as it was announced, just not for the same reason I thought (no damaged USB ports). What I really love is not having wires everywhere that get caught on this

I saw someone going off about how wireless charging is a stupid gimmick and liking it just means you fell for the marketing hype.

So I guess you and I are suckers. I love my INIU wireless charging stands that I bought 2 of for $30 or whatever

Who do you call when you want some pepperoni?

Well now I really miss pre-Musk Twitter. My feed was all shit like this, friends and strangers posting out-of-context thoughts.

I hope OC clears this up because my understanding is that’s the Spanish equivalent of the n word

I didn’t mean it was lower quality! I’m saying a lot of things we praise were due to budget limitations. The show looks awesome
