Also, it was a joke about keenflame asking us to fuck them and that being a niche community.

Seriously though, the algorithm is a powerful mistress. Every time somebody leaves here to go visit a niche community that we’re lacking. They get a taste of that sweet algorithm again.

I managed to pretty much carve out all the algorithms in my social graph. Most of the stuff I’m seeing is from communities that I’ve curated. There is no doom scrolling on my feed. I really dearly love being able to consume, get the most important news and a couple of lols and then go about my day.

All dig needed was the Florida man tag, And not to release dig 2.0

One point would be WalMart has 2B in lobby money to make it stop

Depends on your guidelines for competitors. Just discussion, discord, x, bluesky, Facebook, Mastodon, many suck it up and go back to Reddit.

Meaningfully no :)

that line to the left would just sit there near 0 and squiggle :)

Messy, the peaks are from when Reddit did stupid shit or when bots where rampant, there’s no one taking out ads, app stores aren’t promoting us, this is all organic traffic. I think we’re pretty healthy honestly. There’s still a little flux, some churn right at the top as people who need those niche communities still flirt with reddit.

I tried to stand up a couple of channels for games I was playing, most of my contributions were met with nothing or downvotes and no reasons so I just changed servers and let them go.

The worst of the trolls seem to get bored and move on.

Most of the posts here have good intentions and the admins are trying to keep things good

I mean, we could, but we lack the niche communities…

;)

Be bored because there’s an overwhelming amount to do, but it’s all so vague and horrible that you can’t overcome the couch-intertia to start.

I don’t know, but if it’s more than 0, it’s too many.

I’m not saying he’s right, or good, just making an observation.

I see a Vet who lost his house, is in the process of losing his healthcare, and just feels like he needs a win on the bad investment he’s doubling down on.

get the grill ripping hot outside (500 degrees)

put cooking oil on a paper towel and swab the whole cast iron pan

Throw it on the grill until it stops smoking

pull it off, let it cool a little and swab it again (super thin layer)

Throw it on the grill until it stops smoking

repeat until you’re happy with the color

Unless the blobs are some gel solvent they used for removal before prying them off with a shovel, i’d say it’s some form of contact cement.

A little patience and some isopropyl, maybe a heat gun would have likely let them remove it without harm. Whoever did the removal wasn’t trying to be careful, they gauged it as someone else’s problem.

Based on the blobs underneath the right eye, I’m wondering if they used contact adhesive.

It’s likely the proper solvent would have let them come off with minimal damage.

maybe require identification on social media

Social media ID cuts both ways. Fascists would be the ones willing to use it to fuck people.

Require garbage to be sorted and actually fine people.

There was a guy in DC that got roasted, fined an entire apartment building because he found a single can in the trash stream. I like the idea, but there’s a lot of power in that inspector postion.

massively shorten prison sentences and focus on re education to end “prison culture”,

I like it, we also need to super prop up the people that get out. Strong programs to keep them employed and fed and a support net to keep them from dropping back through the cracks. Most would be willing to work and become productive but the system is designed to reclaim them.

build up light rail and ban cars in cities except for delivery purposes,

That’s fine if you never want to leave the city. A cheap driveshare program dedicated to city users with easy access from the subway would probably be needed. Also the subway is somewhat more unreliable than I’d like to see that pass.

ban landlords, the local govt takes ownership of rental properties and contracts property managers or something

That’s another hard one. If the local government owns it, if the right gets in again, they could just destroy the poor. Don’t get me wrong, I’d love to have some working social systems, but building a utopia probably can’t start in the middle of NYC. We’d need to go disney style and put in something semi rural as a testing ground.

1. It was an obvious improvment.

2. There was an unfortunate choice in adhesive or removal technique.

Involve her in the repair. look into wth it was so hard to remove them and make the knowledge public so future ‘pranks’ won’t be as bad.

The best description I’ve ever heard about getting very old, it’s like being in a nice hot shower all your life and as you near the end, they just keep slowly turning off the hot water until you’re miserable. We just kinda fall apart in old age. The only future you’re looking forward to is your family reaching their own milestones, unless you’re financially prepared, your income dwindles. I’m sure it’s not like that for everyone, but at least in my circles, panel for is more like “I’m scared, but you know it’s about time”

I’m not a huge fan of pirating games, but shit like this gets me there real quick.

God yes, makeup is horrible :)

Here, let’s cover up in skin shade, now browns, now red to look like I’m horny, now blue, because…um, blue is pretty. And unless they’re wearing REALLY expensive shit, it gets all over everything. Unless you’re trying to cover up severe scarring and don’t want to draw looks, I don’t really see the point, and even then, just put it out there, F’em

And heels, 2 hours into any given night, sore feet and 17 nearly twisted ankles.

I’ve never been a fan.
