I was gonna say you’re entitled to your opinion but then you mentioned the competition that doesn’t compare.

I’m a union commercial electrician where I spent a decade building and improving tenant spaces in commercial towers in Seattle and Bellevue. There’s a huge dip in our work now that there aren’t high rises being occupied. I’d like people to work from home, but my blue collar job can’t be done from home. If we can change what these buildings are used for I wouldn’t be worried.

Google here in Fremont area on the other hand is expanding their space by occupying a larger foot print with a smaller work force per square foot. That’s a good way to keep us working.

I watch a tiktok maybe once a day. The algorithm is mostly cooking and science for me. It’s highly enjoyable content if you get past the noise and obviously don’t overuse it. That can be said for any social media app, including lemmy.

Seattle area.

Hah my backyard.

Am American living in the city with 8 chickens. The only scary thing is seeing eggs in the market go for $10/dozen

And the flowers taste delicious!

So the pokemon mod for minecraft can be sued and taken down?

Yeah you can’t make money off of copyrighted intellectual property without seeing some lawyers.

As long as the mods are free (can’t monetize on IP) most mods should be legally safe from copyright. But I’m not a lawyer so not sure how this works.

I’ve had this issue with my headset forever, sometimes it works sometimes it doesn’t but I would ask Google a question and then Google replies with you “please unlock your device”. If I unlock my device with my hands I’m not asking you how many grams of protein are in a cup of flour. My hands are dirty. Or busy. If this update makes it no longer accept requests while locked and I’m wearing my Bluetooth headset, the wtf is the point of it.

CDC reports 90% of suicide survivors don’t attempt a second suicide.

Why more men die than women in suicide attempts.

Same but mostly because I like to scan each item and see it associated with the price on the screen before adding another item

But that’s what they want… They want a dictator because they don’t want the president who can’t do anything because his hands are tied by complicated political checks and balances. They want a president that doesn’t care about the courts or the legislation that they disagree with. They want the president who pushes authoritative action through the bureaucracy. Unfortunately they don’t understand that those actions will never be to aid them but only aid himself.

Adults are the ones usually killing themselves by overdosing. Suicide is final, and survivors of botched attempts praise that they failed to kill themselves. It’s why men have a higher suicide rate, because their method is usually final. Having a packaging that hinders the process of suicide via overdosing is helpful to all involved.

But the slitherin kid isn’t bad. He’s got what the slitherin house has. He isn’t evil he just chose some very bad choices to try to save his sister. In the end he turns himself in if you allow it. An old wizard that is nothing like Dumbledore. And what school doesn’t have bad kids?

Huh? What plot was taken from the movies?

Yeah my account was about 15 years old. Reddit definitely decayed into worse and worse and I have no regrets leaving. But it did leave a little bit of a hole that’s yet to be properly filled. And lemmy is definitely doing a good job, just hasn’t filled it yet.

That’s helpful thank you. If I had a question for example for a specific video game you’d recommend going to the gaming community over the game specific one?

Lemmy is like 1/2 of what reddit was able to do for me. I haven’t gone back to reddit since the exodus, I deleted all my posts and my account and never went back. But even now when I need information on anything from a community it’s always reddit that pops up with the information that I need. I understand this is because of userbase and interacting with it but lemmy has not been able to do that effectively yet.

Granted I did post about a fish for my fishtank here and it was answered actually pretty quickly.

I think I’m just not understanding what instances and the feddiverse is. Most posts I’m interested in have like 1 or 2 comments, and half the time they’re not useful interactions. It just feels kind of dead here. And again I understand it’s because of the lack of interaction and userbase. But to say it’s better than reddit or the best alternative is being a little frivolous.
