"My fake plants died because I did not pretend to water them."

I thought that he seemed surprisingly lucid, with it, put together. The overall content was gracious and grateful and praising of the country.

That said, I'm terrified about the future of the United States.

Well, Shit.

That can't be good.

Thank you for all the work you guys do! Glad to see server expenses are coming in under budget of the donations!

You don't have to if you don't want to. Subscribe to the one you like best, and help grow that one.

Personally, I find myself only subscribing to and browsing communities on the local instance. The idea of the Fediverse is cool and all, but it's just way too much information for one person to process.

The Great Digg Migration was way bigger and Digg was never the same after that. If Lemmy gets a couple more big waves from Reddit, it could mean the end for Reddit as it currently is.

Now all we have to do is wait for Reddit to screw up again for the next wave of new users!

Sometimes the question isn't about the answer but about the interaction.

I go on Reddit for one sub and one sub only. Other than that, I don't care about the site. Notifications are blocked and I've hidden my bookmarks from myself.

I gave up hope when I learned that the blue and green recycle bins in my area are really only there to make the consumer feel better about how much we waste as a society. A lot of the stuff we put in those bins still just winds up in a landfill.

Never too old to learn a musical instrument. You can pick up an acoustic guitar for cheap at a pawn shop.

Learning how to code is a good one that can be done either free or very cheaply and doesn't require a lot of computing power when starting out. All you need is a text editor and Google.

Having a rule that no one in the fediverse can do something is going to be unenforceable.

That's a really good point.
