Agreed. It feels like a bunch of people broadcasting to the void with megaphones. Threaded forums are 100x better

I’m from the area. Another “fun” fact I saw on KGW News this morning:

The six hottest August overnight lows have all been in 2021-2023. Last night’s tied the 73 record for the day. The hottest low ever was during the 2021 heat dome where it only got down to 75 overnight (in June)

Good. I remember it being shitty when I was forced to use it at a company a couple years ago

“ human civilization will achieve a steady-state economy one way or another. Either we will plan for it and execute a plan that takes us as a global society on average down to a fraction of what we consume today. Or, nature will take its course and we will collapse down to a steady-state level of consumption”

Fuck Amazon's shipping process -- I finally ordered from one of the "little guys"! (kbin.social)

It seems like over the last year or so, Amazon has made the calculation that they can save 10 cents on not packing things properly, and only 0.1% of customers will be bothered enough to return the item*.

For many basic consumer goods, like a new spatula or something, it doesn't matter. But when I'm spending $40, $60, $70 on a nice hobby RPG book or a board game, it sucks to have it arrive with all the corners smashed in.

So I finally ordered my most recent core rulebook from a random FLGS in another state. And... it arrived beautifully packed and without damage!

This may not be an earth-shattering revelation for many people; however, it sure felt good to me to take a small stand. :-D

Incidentally, I spent ~$7 more overall on the purchase. But for me it was totally worth it.

Edit: with Mintyytea's help, I figured out how to do it:

  1. Go to https://kbin.social/m/newcommunities@lemmy.world
  2. Use the plus (+) button in the upper right of the kbin UI to add the article

I believe one of the Lemmy instances has a "newcommunities" forum, but I'm not sure if kbin has something similar

Thanks

Just realized something I don't miss about reddit: post anxiety (kbin.social)
 

Did you ever have that feeling on reddit of "I better word my post just right, otherwise AutoMod will take it down"? Some subs had such strict auto moderating that it was a crap shoot to post something. Not so here. I know there's value in moderation, and I'm sure Lemmy/kbin/etc. will add more of it with time. But, for now, it was just nice to not be nervous when I was submitting a post here.
