If I recorded myself falling down the stairs screaming would people with a cockney accent think I was making conversation?

Sorry to hear that

A surprising number of adults struggle with reading comprehension. If there's people around you could ask one of them to read it for you

I think you're giving the author too much credit here, they weren't clear about what they meant. If they were trying to describe message encryption in general they should have used general terms, instead they chose to describe a specific message and then failed to identify which one. It muddles the conversation instead of adding clarity. I appreciate you trying to help me but I wasn't really looking for an answer, I'm pointing out the bad quality of the article

I am here. I'm not the one calling other people's countries "the colonies". You be quiet.

"I want convenience and I have nothing to hide, so I'm willing to give my data away."

Ok, but other people aren't.

Your vote affects other people.

It's great that your needs are met but people other than you will be hurt by this.

You can be completely fulfilled without children. There are so many people in your family, in your community, who need you.

It's like saying everyone who drinks water will die. It's correct, but it's not a problem.

Echo chambers exist everywhere.

I'd start budgeting my time, now. What do I have to give up, to make sure I have research time at the end of the day?

Budget money, as well. I would want to know how my day-to-day costs will change when I'm in school several hours a week.

Getting into the mindset of learning rather than doing will be a huge shift, so you could practice your study skills by researching the universities and their programs for an hour every day without interruption - make sure you can sit down and read for a full hour.

Once you pick a program, use social media to ask around. You might know someone who goes there, maybe they could introduce you to the faculty?

Great twist, enjoyable use of the horror genre, good acting

Here's what bothered me though.

With all the talk about God, there's never any mention of vampires' souls.

We see the human die and come back as a vampire. And when a person dies their soul leaves their body.

So do these vampires have souls or not? And if not, why do they still act so human? One of the characters even says, "[becoming a vampire] doesn't change who you are." but bro, it's a series about death and the afterlife, and you're saying that undead creatures with no soul behave the same as they did in life?

It feels like a huge swing and a miss in terms of horror potential: imagine seeing the uncanny valley effect of a person who used to be your friend, suddenly without their soul. It would have fit the theme so well and I'm devastated it was never brought up.

Also,

a few major loopholes in the last few episodes:

  1. The sherrif's son turns, then helps his human father get to the beach. It's a long walk, and the son is helping his injured father. But no terrible "I'm going to drink your blood even though you're my family" moment the way we see in every other vampire. Why does this kid act so differently?

  2. None of the vampires try to hide from the sun in the end. Literally every one of them stands on the beach singing. Lol what the fuck. They're so driven by need that they're eating their loved ones, but they're all going to stand upright and burn to death while singing hymns?

  3. "You're not a good person Bev. God doesn’t love you more than he loves anyone else. You aren’t ... a victim." This is supposed to be a social justice scene where the bitch finally gets told off. But the complaints are how Bev acted in church, her attitude towards God, her arrogance. Not the fact that she's standing there with a molotov burning people's houses down so she can drink their blood lol.

Sorry to vent here, I'm just tired of being let down by lazy writing.

How do I see all posts in all communities on a server?

It's night and I'm walking on the street with other people, frustrated and scared. I'm responsible for crafting enemies and I don't want to create something I can't beat. The people walking with me are enemies too. I'm giving out chocolates (Rollo?) which has something to do with it.

Three decapitated but living people had to be put into a freezer. Cryostasis maybe. I was in agony, they are going to be so cold, the metal will burn them where it touches their skin, their eyes will freeze, should I get goggles? I realized my worrying was just delaying everything and making it worse for them. I had to somehow just get it done

General question about Lemmy:

If I as an instance owner search & subscribe to another instance's community, I get "federated" with that community. Does that mean my instance is, or my user is?

Second question:

If I want users at my instance to see posts from communities on other instances, is there a way for me to pull those posts in to my instance? Or, how do I get my users to see other communities' content?

CANNED BREAD. (www.mashed.com)
submitted 1 week ago by stinky@redlemmy.com to c/chat@lemmy.one

Canned bread is made by pouring a cornmeal and molasses "batter" into a can, where it is "steamed until it rises." Unlike bread that is baked and then bagged, which can leave it vulnerable to mold growth, the steaming and canning process helps to ensure that your can of brown bread lasts.

What's the process? Is the list federated, meaning, does my joining this list populate available instances across the fediverse? Or is it isolated to join - Lemmy?

Sorry this isn't really a question

She doesn't listen when i tell her how i want to be treated. I don't owe her an explanation about why it hurts. It should be enough to say "this hurts me". She never, ever changes her behavior no matter what i say. It's always my fault when i get hurt.

Dwarf Fortress (redlemmy.com)
submitted 2 weeks ago by stinky@redlemmy.com to c/dreams@redlemmy.com

Last night I was a character in a dwarf fortress game? I collected ambergris and travelled on a cart through a festival. I made a joke of our combat logs and wrote a line into it, my singing axe turned an enemy into an axe sheath. Earlier I [c]laimed a bunch of tiles from an abandoned fort and they started flickering as they rendered to the screen
