Every time I see this statement, my first reaction is to feel solidarity, "yeah!" Then I think about all those emails I don't read and never respond to... πŸ˜…

FYI: @davel@lemmy.ml I figured out the problem and edited the OP to reflect that

[–] GlassHalfHopeful@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I removed all my blocks completely. No change.

I also need to update my previous post to you because when I view the community while logged off from lemmy.ca, I can see all the recent posts.

It's something specific to my account it seems...

From my phone browser via the webui:

When viewing while logged into Lemmy.ca, the second link (accessing the community from my instance) does NOT show any recent posts.

The first link takes me to the community at lemmy.world (not from my instance and logged out of Lemmy.world) and it shows all recent posts.

For this reason, I would say that it's not synced. BUUUUTT...

If I go back to lemmy.ca, log out, log back in with my alt account... the two links you provided show all posts synced.

I think this is the kind of behavior that exists when you've been banned from a community πŸ€·πŸ½β€β™‚οΈ, except I haven't been banned.

I'm really confused.

So glad this worked out! It's a better choice domain wise!

Pretty exciting news! πŸ’œ

Because people don't realize refurbished printers is a thing?

Safe from what?

And who says it's important?

Communication is important, but how you do that is always going to vary. "Flirting" is just one way to communicate.

[–] GlassHalfHopeful@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

"Being yourself" does not preclude personal development. Personal growth and learning skills, even something like flirting, is part of becoming a more well-rounded version of yourself.

Thing is, flirting isn't something you need to master or even be great at. As a matter of fact, being "terrible" at flirting can be just as effective.

The goal of flirting is to engage in social interaction that expresses interest and attraction.

I think you're putting too much pressure on yourself. You probably shouldn't even call it flirting. Put that notion aside. Focus on intentionally communicating your interest.

If you're interested in a person, then find ways to express that. It can be light-hearted and flirtatious, but being terrible at flirting works too. So do it terribly. You'll eventually figure out what doesn't help communicate your intent. Flirting is a gentle and indirect way of expressing that intent. Many people are more direct and it can work for them too. Being more direct may be better for you. πŸ€·πŸ½β€β™‚οΈ

Regardless of what you do, be respectful. Be playful if you want. But most importantly, communicate your intent and desire.

Is there any way to install and use the Gemini App without the Google App and forced association of the account with my Android phone?

I have a specific Google account just for Gemini, but I neither use the Google app nor desire for my phone to maintain this alt google account as one of the phone associates accounts. I think many folks would prefer login stay within the app itself.

Another positive step in the right direction for an organization rife with brokenness. There's a lot I don't like about the organization, but this is something a love--a scouting organization open to young women and the lgbtq community. The next step is being inclusive of nonreligious agnostic and atheist youth and leaders. As well as ending the cultural appropriation of Native American peoples.

May this organization continue to build up youth, never allow further violence against youth, and make amends for all the wrongs. There's a lot of good that comes out of organizations like this and I won't discount it even though it's riddled with a dark history.

A new study of Japanese tits provides the first evidence of non-primate animals using gestures to convey messages

When a mated pair of small birds called Japanese tits arrives at the nest, one of them might flutter its wings at the other. The second bird then typically enters the nest first. This motion might be a signal, meant to convey the message β€œafter you” to the other bird, scientists reported Monday in the journal Current Biology.

The research provides the first evidence of animals besides primates using gestures to communicate meaning. The result β€œshows that Japanese tits not only use wing fluttering as a symbolic gesture, but also in a complex social context involving a sender, receiver and a specific goal, much like how humans communicate,” Toshitaka Suzuki, a co-author of the new study and a biologist at the University of Tokyo, tells Science News’ Darren Incorvaia.

My youngest shared a page from his funny poem book with me. I laughed out loud quite literally and thought I would share it with you all as well. πŸ’œ

Photo Description

Top Left: Tree unbalanced. Left side producing little. Right side producing well.

Top Right: Shown from opposite side. Full limbs visible without flowering.

Bottom left: Close up of the left side of the tree. Several branches not flowering down full length.

Bottom right: Closer view of the graft and up.

Please do ask for any more clarifying photos if you think it would help.

Questions:

  • The tree just started blooming this week. Is it too late to start pruning or should I wait until Autumn?

  • Pruning the tree is going to make it even more lopsided than it already is. Would you all recommend trimming back the healthy branches so it's not so heavy on one side?

  • This website gives the advice below. Any thoughts otherwise?

Thank you all so much!


How to Prune a Weeping Cherry Tree

The different types of weeping cherries can grow to between eight and 40 feet tall. Proper pruning keeps these trees looking beautiful and can prevent the development and spread of diseases. Prune while the tree is dormant (no flowers or leaves on the branches) in early spring or late fall. Take the following steps once a year with bypass pruning shears or a pole pruner.

  • Cut back any branches that contact the ground until they’re at least six inches off the ground.
  • Remove branches that are rubbing against each other.
  • Trim back branches that are closer than two inches apart.
  • Remove dead branches.
  • Remove stems or branches growing out of the trunk or around the base of the tree (a.k.a. suckers).
  • Trim back the tips of the branches around the perimeter of the canopy until it’s a balanced, uniform shape.
  • Remove branches that are growing straight up on grafted cherry trees because they will continue to grow upward instead of weeping down.
  • Thin out the mangled cluster of branches that often develops near the base of the canopy of grafted trees.
  • Remove diseased branches as soon as they’re discovered, regardless of the time of year. Sterilize the blade of your cutting tool in between cuts to prevent disease spread.
 

Does anyone know of a Duolingo-like birding application that gamifies bird identification?

(Particularly for Android and extra points for sound ID in addition to visual ID)

 

So glad to finally hear an update on this and see that he's actually being punished. I hope others learn from this.
