People where I live now are genuinely afraid of the city for sure. There is some merit, but only if you go looking to step in shit.

For me, I’m largely desensitized to city stuff from a lifetime, and I’m tired. I don’t like it anymore.

I’m just incompetent all around 💁

My Biscuit died in my arms a few weeks ago. She was a very old lade by cat standards, clinging to life to make sure her humans would be OK. Me and my partner were going through it pretty rough, but she stuck around until the light at the end of the tunnel became bright enough to let go. Now we have a pair of rambunctious blind bonded brothers to light our way (:

I too am an expert on all things lol

Remember when all the discussions were happening in just a couple top posts, mostly meta posts? We’ve come a long way for sure and I’m proud of everyone.

Every bit helps, I’d imagine.

I would like to thank everyone on here for the last two months or whatever it’s been from the start of the migration, and to the people just coming over, and those who were here already. I actually feel like I’ve grown as an individual in my time here. I’m starting to see certain patterns in my own behavior and working on them thanks to the content and the engaging discussions on here. I used to avoid interaction and lost all hope, but you are all really awesome. Thank you <3

If I have a question that I’d usually search on reddit for, i just make a post here instead and drum up content for the future, plus I usually get way more than I asked for from people as almost everyone here is a damn genius and usually very polite and understanding.

I agree with the niche stuff, but I will say I almost like having to create a post for my inquiry, and though not much engagement, what I do get is really helpful, more personal info from a few kind and knowledgeable people. So I think perhaps we should readjust our expectations and enjoy this for what it is.

Aldi gang! Do you have a dedicated Aldi quarter for carts? Lol

One time I thought I was gonna have a seizure, I layed down and curled up saying fml, and my cat came running from the other room and layed on my chest. No seizure. love you buddy, my familiar.

That’s normal. Rest longer, keep going. Do 8 then 5 then 3 then 1. You’ll see progress fairly quickly and soon you’ll get to 9 then 10 etc. When I first started about a year ago, I could barely manage 5 pull ups, and maybe 10 pushups. Now I can bang out multiple sets of 10 pull-ups, and a set of ~100 push ups. Also worth noting that some people, depending on body type, have a harder time with pull ups. I think arm length possibly becomes a factor. Not a scientist. Every pull up is progress (:

DeFeDeRaTe NoW!

Puff or Poof.

I’m over 30, but I’m tech stupid compared to everyone else here, but I can follow, and understand the jist ftmp of the conversation. Not my area of expertise. I grown up with the internet though obviously so I do know my way around.

If anything i’m probably just more open to new experiences than the average person, and I like learning stuff.

But in general I agree with your observations, and it seems natural for early adopters of a platform.

<3 you guys are great, truly. Love talking with you.

Yea so far it’s great. I’d imagine once it’s easier to access, well see a slow decline in quality discourse and content, but that’s all things, so I’m just enjoying the moment tbh.

I could almost cry 😢 Toothpicks and rubber bands, your just like me, Lemmy.

Wtf is threads?
