As a child in the 90s, I remember Saturday and Sunday afternoons being incredibly boring if we didn’t go out. TV was shit (still is), and on rainy afternoons you were basically locked at home.

By the late 90s, at age 10, with no internet access in my county, I was mapping ways to beat the Water Temple in Ocarina of Time. I remember scheming for hours, using Farore’s Wind to take me to the beginning of the dungeon and jumping to the platform on the 2nd floor. This way, I was not using the only key I had on the middle pillar, which is what almost everyone got stuck on.

But yeah, I remember the tail-end of this at that time and starting a whole new game to try this out. And it worked. Still proud of 10 year old me. It’s interesting but I hadn’t felt boredom in a really long time.

More like forced into it by these multiple “once-in-a-lifetime” economic crisis.

BofA deez nutz!

Appreciate it, bud!

Just like my totally real prescriptions.

And you agent is probably like, “wtf is a lemming?”

I’ll add to that.

Shit is geo-locked to certain countries and I can’t access it. 🏴‍☠️ Raise it.

I belong to neither of these groups. But here goes it.

Europe: when ordering water, I have to specify for it not to have gas (non-carbonated). Also in places like Germany, people drink those before playing football. I don’t understand how you do it or even like it that way.

People in electric scooters are out of control. Specially in Spain. They’re the most egregious when it comes to disrespecting pedestrian crosswalks, dangerous overtaking in bike lanes and all around assholeness. You shouldn’t ride your fucking patinete in a train station crowded with people.

People from the US: Your tipping culture is out of control. It’s good for outstanding service on certain scenarios. But not for handing me takeout or pulling out a foamy beer from a cooler.

Also , don’t tell newly-aquatinted people from the south that you’re not religious. They’ll try to tell you it’s their duty to save your soul and try to make you go to their religious services, which antagonizes them if you try to set boundaries on your personal beliefs.

Btw. I still like you both.

I’m talking about GNAR KILL!

WWWAAAAAAGGGGGHHHH WWWWAAAAHHH WAAAAAHHH WAAAHHH

In my mid 30s and I thought it was a 20s thing. But I also see my friends setting down and worrying about extra-curricular activities and other parent drama. And to me, personally, it seems so petty and depressing.

I got to travel a lot last year and will later this year and that feeling of wanting to explore has not gone away.

Are there currently any that are showing signs of imminent collapse? (Twitter, maybe?).

Or what are the signs to look for those who are untrained in this field?

It is extreeeemly dangerous and may attack at any time. So we must deal with it.

You all were hooking up?

I thought those were people pushing OF content. Or if it was happening, it was only in really big cities.

Time wise, yes. But I engage more, instead of just lurk, because my comment won’t be buried under the sheer amount of comments. Also, the smaller communities have less activity at the moment, but it’s all good. I’m not reading as much bad content while navigating a slew of annoying crypto ads and sketchy ads for overpriced mindfulness retreats.

After it’s all done, you should totally stay!

PS: got my pink polo pressed and ready for tomorrow.

I go there for a couple of smaller subreddits I still visit (barely starting out on Lemmy, tough). But a lot of content seems to be slowing down, like 2 day-old threads on the home tab (I only go on desktop with adblockers).

This is obviously anecdotal, and have no numbers to back it up. We’ll have to see how it goes into the future. Reddit just keeps pissing off their core users time and time again.

I used to listen to a lot of heavy metal. Lots of mid-late 2000s era metal and old school stuff. By the time I had reached college, and a friend group with diverging tastes, I got into indie rock, hip-hop, electronica, reggae, post-rock, indie pop, etc.

My 14 year old self would’ve been disappointed. I really cut it down from my life. But I’ll still catch metal show and listen to it every once in a while. Or for workouts. Just not something as aggressive and angry that much.

I posted one yesterday on a major Subreddit. It did get a bit of hate. Couple of people signed up. Some of that hate seems to be bots, complaining that there’s no mobile app, and that it looks like old Reddit.

I’ll keep monitoring, to see if it gets shadow removed. I bet a lot of the major subreddits are running on skeleton crews, so they can’t get everything.

If it wasn’t for my photography, I’d delete instagram. Holy shit is it pay-to-play a cesspool. And I’m being targeted for ads for all kinds of ponzi schemes and crypto and FOREX scams. Probably from watching Coffeezilla videos.

We’ll see how Lemmy picks up. I’m really liking it, thus far. Right now we’re looking at Reddit like a former, toxic partner that we want to spite. Lately I was just going on the World News, Ukraine war mega thread.

It’s just a matter of time til Dragons Fucking Cars comes around.

I haven’t looked around. I don’t want to run into another Space Dicks, 50-50 or Watch People Die.

Horny people from Lemmy, what is the Horniest thing you’ve…

But it’s probably a matter of time.
