I don’t know if or when it came back (there seems to be a 30 year cycle for fashion where everything old is new again) or if you are just your own individual who doesn’t care if it’s in, just doing it because you like it.

Or maybe you’re rockabilly. Or too punk to care.

Or maybe I stopped noticing it and it never actually went out of fashion - it was me who went out of fashion!
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Tight-rolled jeans with rolled-down socks.
Also, aforementioned backwards clothes - even trained my Grandma to reply “jump, jump?” 😁

Like the Santa maggot guy

I kinda like the idea of it being Santa instead of Satan 😁

PAX - before there was PAX Prime or PAX East.

This is what my family (and a few friends) use. We have been using it for a while now because it just works. Also, the kids have never complained about using Conversations, or about using it only for us (like if you have that one family member who won’t leave SMS behind - we’re that guy, I guess), and we can make as many channels as we need for the house, the kids, with each kid individually, for our MTG cards, with our couple of friends that use it, etc…

I don’t personally do the hosting, so I can’t speak to that. That’s the hubby’s thing
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The thing that gets me a lot of the time is falling up. I would trip while running or riding a bike, and lose contact with the ground. Soon I’m beyond any trees that I could grab, and just falling. Up. Until it wakes me up.

I’ve had nightmares about it since I was a kid (I don’t know when “old” starts, but I’m probably closer to that than to being a kid. Well, in age - I’m still pretty immature 😅)

I have had quite a few nightmares about not being able to find my kids during zombie apocalypses.
Same basic thing tho: the scariest part wasn’t the setting or scenario, it was not being able to save my kids from harm.

I read that ghost was federating, I think.

That’s at least part of what is exported as JSON from the settings menu (afaik, you get there from your regular settings menu in the web interface and it’s at the very bottom)

I think you can then import to the new account?

You’re not wrong! That is behavior that should be addressed - much moreso at food-related businesses than like, the hardware store, but is just good-human behavior when you interact with others. (Not everyone does that tho)

And if it is repeatedly happening at one place, it might just be someone working there who isn’t doing the right thing. (Or the soap there is potent and not in a way that you like.) If it seems like it’s happening everywhere, it could be more of a sensitive sniffer thing… Which isn’t really a Big Deal, it just is. Like the reason we are expected to wear less cologne/perfume in some spaces, to account for others’ sensitivity or allergy. As a courtesy

But not everyone sticks to that! (Also why the OP suggested that it means they haven’t done it)

It requires a human to do a thing. It doesn’t happen automatically.

I always feel bitey after my visits to the vet, too.

• Pet an animal friend, or a friend’s animal, or a friend. Probably ask the friend first, or maybe don’t.
• Don’t be afraid to hug your mom/kid/cousin/friend.
• If animals and friends elude you, find a stuffed animal/monster/alien/person that will let you cuddle if for no other reason than because it has no choice.
• Watch cartoons or sitcoms or romcoms, and deliver some good feels into your brain.
• Look for eyebleach (not literally bleaching your eyes!), and try to put the terrible thing behind you.

Good luck!

I think that - if you want to read current Marvel story arcs, but not buy every tie-in story (from characters you don’t really like or care about, for example) - digital comics are how you’ll want to go.

There are lots of ways to get free digital comics, and as the other reply said, use a search engine or wiki to find the reading order and all the tie-ins. That’s just the way Marvel does things, and I’m pretty sure DC does it the same way - that’s how the story stays cohesive, and how more sales are made. Your friend is absolutely right.

If you’re going to a local comic book store, try asking the employees - not everyone cares, or pays attention, but sometimes you’ll find a passionate employee (or owner) who can help you find the tpbs involved in the storylines.

When the first flavors of Pop-Tarts were released in 1964 (strawberry, blueberry, apple currant, and brown sugar cinnamon), the packaging machines were expensive, resulting in hefty up-front costs. So, to be economical about their investments, the company decided to package the product in twos at the start (explained in the book “Better Than Homemade: Amazing Foods that Changed the Way We Eat” by Carolyn Wyman).

“To package them singly would have required twice as many machines. Kellogg’s didn’t want to invest in a lot of machines until they knew how it would sell," said Bill Post, who managed the first plant to produce Pop-Tarts.

Not a new thing at all
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I don’t think it’s a Sync only thing. I get that you can see them in the browser, but since I started using Lemmy last year I have noticed the occasional number of comments not matching the visible comments - not just in Sync, tho. It’s happened to me while using the pwa and with other apps.

If you want to switch clients, go ahead and try them out - there are a lot of choices these days. I think LW has a variety of frontend options, too. Maybe one of those will be a good fit?
(I dunno, I really like Sync, but I’ve also installed and used just about every Android Lemmy app, and just end up coming back to Sync each time. Don’t get me wrong - there are some that are really good, but Sync is still my top pick.)

Does it happen with defederated instances too? Say if the LW user gets a reply from a hexbear user? (I think those are defederated, at least)

It’s tea. Or maybe a cold soup, in the way that a taco is a sandwich.

(Preparation and ingredient rebels can make anything tea.)

That’s fair - I had just thought it must be the new normal, if it had trickled down to our city (city, but not big city).

The whole business of blaring ads at a captive audience is bs, either way!

I don’t live in a big city, by any stretch - but I guess it’s not the sticks, because we have that shit around here. And not just the busiest gas stations, by the highway. I hate it.
