This and the level of free speech that came with it is really needed right now. I don’t mean free speech in a go tell someone you disagree with to fuck their aunt type of way. I mean having real deep hard conversations about organizing and enabling movements. It feels like the Internet is scared of that because of monetization and content policies that have chopped the balls off of any form of organization or resistance. Like there’s so much shit I wish I could say but some mod policy kills it with a pinned post at the top of the comment section before I can even begin typing out my thoughts.

Same but only because I dual boot Windows and was too lazy to setup grub or systemd-boot the day I installed Linux on my new setup.

The snow biome theme from Terraria is an absolute gem.

This is key. A decade ago I did all three days at the New England Metal and Hardcore festival. Bodies fell from the sky on me. I got punched in the back of the head. I was almost knocked out on multiple occasions. I lost my glasses and was blind for most of the trip. What hurt the most was my feet. The pain was only alleviated when I was running around in the pit and walking back to my motel. I was in my early 20s then. I can’t imagine doing that now.

Nothing is worse than my 3 piece Popeyes combo with fries and a Dr. Pepper going from $7.49 to $15 over 4 years.

Oh absolutely. I’d take Biden over the youngest Republican any day. But to act like there’s been no decline at all is just denying the facts of being a human on this planet.

I’ve lost all of my grandparents. Most of them I lost at an age where I could comprehend what was going on. Death is the slowest process on earth. The actual passing is quick. It’s emotional and hard but it lasts for the blink of an eye. The decline can take years. To watch somebody age in those final 5-10 of their life is excruciating. It’s a drip feed of watching somebody act in ways where you can tell they’re just not themselves anymore.

Now with all that said I’m not saying Biden is knocking on deaths door, or that the process even started. What’s clear to everybody though is that he’s not the same guy as when he started his presidency. He’s studders a lot more. He’s lost a lot of hair. And he’s clearly slower than he was just three years ago.

Hes doing the most stressful job in the world. A job that accelerates the aging process. He’s already of an advanced age more so than any president in the history of this country. He’s approaching the line of being too old to non functional. So if you’re against him you’re gonna take that to the extreme and cry he’s dying right at this moment. But to everybody else he’s past the “he’s old” stage to “ehhh he’s really fucking old, should he be doing that stage?” That’s a decline.

My dad changed his shirt because he got wet and I saw him walking outside with another shirt on without knowing about the first one. I thought he was a clone for half a day until he asked me what’s wrong. That was a good laugh for him.

Scene kids was a period after goths and before hipsters. It peaked before Myspace was taken over by Facebook. So like 2007-2009. By the time most of them moved on to college, hipsters became a thing and a lot of them grew into that or conformed in some way.

Same. Even as a metalhead adjacent to them, they were still a strange breed of kids. They were harmless though. I couldn’t stand the kids that shit on them for entertainment.

It’s kinda weird and heartwarming to be 30 something and see that style making a comeback. I hope they live as weird a life as we did back then.

That’s way too hard for this country.

That’s a clean looking piece of wood.

Haaeeeyyy!

Ideally it would be a discoverability tool for Lemmy’s side to broadcast to the whole fediverse. So if you post a title like “Hey #nfl fans. !nfl@lemmy.world is hosting an #ama with @tombrady@tb12.7rings at 2pm EST.” The hashtags show up on Mastodon. The !nfl@lemmy.world would take you to the sub. Or if you wanna see just Tom Brady’s answers you can click his name and find his answers. From our side on Lemmy we have the thread structure down. So that’s all you have to do is title that and put whatever you want in the body. From Mastodon’s perspective they could turn their content warning system into titles. So that title would be the content warning. When you click on it, it opens the body of the post, including all comments and replies. That way you have discoverability. You have a way to interact with the post from anywhere. You complete the triad of person, place, and thing so everybody has full context of what’s going on. Lemmy users would get full functionality of Mastodon in Lemmy fashion and vice versa.

If Boost joins the party then I’ll be a happy boy.

Sweet! I Hope this place takes off!

This right here. The meme where Peter Parker is thinking and Miles is soaking it up.
