I just finished a long and insanely stressful sensory overload appointment to deal with some government paperwork stuff, and I realized partway in that I could REALLY use something unobtrusive to stim with. Anybody have good recommendations for something small enough to slip into my purse and that wouldn't look far too awkward to use in a public environment dominated by neurotypical people? (I'm not concerned about looking a little awkward, lol, that ship sailed a long time ago)

Slay the Spire is a fantastic roguelike deckbuilding game, and I think the mobile version is around that pricepoint

I like to tell friends I've been busy recharging my brain cells lol

Advertisers are starting to take notice, it seems. Gotta keep the blackout running longer to hit em in their pocketbooks - 2 days they can weather out, indefinite dark they cannot. It's what I've been saying from the beginning, a protest with a clearly defined end date has no teeth.

Welp. Wish I could say I was surprised. Time for the handful of power mods still licking admin boots to get even more subs under their belt, I guess. No way that could possibly end badly...

Online shopping my beloved

Unless it's for clothing, cause then I need to feel the fabric texture first (unless the online store has a really good return policy and I can just ship most of it back)

196 is the server you're in right now, tankies is a slang term for the more authoritarian types of communists (like Stalinists and such)

Talk is cheap, I'm reserving any kind of judgement til they release results.

I mean, realistically I'll probably stay on both. There are tons of great reddit communities that just don't exist here, at least not yet, and I'm genuinely sad to be losing them. Reddit has been a part of my daily routine for well over a decade now, and that's not something I can just give up easily. I do really like the vibes here at Lemmy, but it's got a lot more growing to do before it can fully replace all the wonderful different niches that reddit was able to fill so well.

It's real uncomfortable, not gonna lie. I've been checking reddit daily for well over a decade now, and it's incredibly disorienting to have that suddenly not be an option anymore. I really, really hope they change their minds about pushing through these asinine API changes so I can go back to using RIF like before, but if not, I'd way rather get used to Lemmy than get used to the official Reddit app and reward them for their scummy business practices.

If reddit actually reverses course on the API stuff, then hell yeah I'm going back. But if the sub just reopens after the blackout without any substantive change, nah I'm staying here.
