Not only downvoted, but my comment was also deleted by someone after it had like 60 downvotes. When that happened, I started considering moving away from Lemmy right after coming here, because it seemed to be a worse echo chamber than Reddit had ever been.

Only because it wasn’t easy and also not easily accessible via Memmy (which I really like) I stayed for the time being. For example, I can’t login to a kbin account (only subscribe to kbin communities) and I don’t have access to Mastodon using Memmy.

So I guess already like Apollo kept me with Reddit, Memmy keeps me here for the time being. I stopped participating in anything remotely controversial though and became a lurker because I learned that day, discussion and a variety of opinions are not what the majority of users here are after. Maybe that’s true for all social media, idk…

Sivar ,

I hear you, but I’m not here to fight or be accused, ridiculed or hated upon. You can’t save people from themselves.

If it were only a few, but -60 within a few hours with such a small amount of Lemmy users tells me, this is not the place for civilized discussion. Not to mention that it got deleted… no thanks, I won’t be putting too much work and thought into critical comments anymore when there’s a risk of going to waste anyway.

Yes, if the projected range is more optimistic than reality, it’s always because I drive faster than 120-130 kph. Otherwise it’s absolutely spot on or even better than projected, for example if I drive 100-110 kph for a while.

Anorexia nervosa (AN) is a deadly illness with no proven treatments to reverse core symptoms and no medications approved by the US Food and Drug Administration.

I just hope it’s going to be legalized and easily accessible, and not Big Pharma exclusive and/or expensive.

These contests are full of ideology, so a trans person has a significant advantage over the others. There aren’t enough heartwarming and sob stories in the world to compensate for that.

On the other hand, I don’t really care if those kind of competitions are unfair. If they help trans people convey a message, that’s probably the best thing that can come out of them.

Has Indonesia still blocked Reddit as well?

Sivar ,

The selective reasoning here amazes me to no end. It’s always Twitter bad, Elon bad, but nobody seems to care about the giant government-circlejerk (or reacharound if you prefer that image) that was uncovered via the Twitter files after Elon Musk took over.

So it’s okay to censor and lie doing the government’s bidding, sometimes even preemptively, but it’s not okay to rebrand your company after all this massive pile of shit was uncovered?

Just LOL

Cut it all to 2-3mm. To maintain, you only need a hair trimmer. I haven’t been to a hair professional for over 20 years now… no regrets.

When I read stuff like this, I’m reminded of how lucky I am to live in a country where it’s safe for me and my family.

Although they probably value life in general and every new day much more than the westerners do on average.

Warning tl;dr… Greenland might become ice free again.

Although IMO the inhabitants of Greenland (green land) would have been scared to death about the prospect of earth-wide cooling and losing their fertile green land.

Also, CO2-concentration was about 280 ppm then. It’s almost as if it had nothing to do with warmer climate…

Yeah only with a Tesla you don’t have to drive to a Tesla shop and wait for an hour or even days, you get an OTA update.

With Memmy and wefwef it seemed like I was logged in, but apparently I wasn’t. When I logged in once more like I would log in to a different server (but in this case same server name, user, password) it worked fine again.

Sivar ,

Sound about right. It might even be less for for me LOL

Sivar ,

I wouldn’t call it being proud. It just doesn’t smell bad, and I usually don’t care to do things because that’s how it’s supposed to be done, so why should I change the sheet more often?

Why do you change it more often? Does yours smell bad?

Sivar ,

This is a great explanation, thanks.

Same here. Since I was an Apollo user, there’s no loss of revenue though, and I haven’t posted much, barely any loss of new content.

There’s this amazing TED talk by Hans Rosling about this. Worth it to check it out! ted.com/…/hans_rosling_the_magic_washing_machine
