It was the AMA that was the last straw for me, on top of everything before. It had been going downhill, but that was where I lost all hope it would improve.
I don’t agree with you that small instances lead to poorer quality, if anything there’s a better sence of community in a small forum.
I’d rather have more in common with old style unfederated forums than big social media.
You don’t have to reveal your gender on here.
Sobering up before trying to find ways of organising songs would be my first tip.
My biggest regret was getting rid of a perfectly good portable CRT TV that would have been ideal for pre-7th generation gaming, just as they stopped making good quality CRTs.
I’m about to get rid of my ageing “dumb” TV and not replace it. Everything comes in to my laptop now, so any monitor and set of speakers to plug it in to will do.
My prediction is that this is going to be the end of the line for TVs as stand-alone hardware - just like most people don’t really have stand-alone Hi-Fi systems any more.
I’m going to just pluck this out of the air and say “been to more than three other countries” is well travelled - for someone in the first world that’s not difficult and is an important thing to do for broadening the mind. Some people might say that’s a low bar, but there are enough that would say it’s too high as well which makes me think it’s probably about right.
Yes, it definitely encourages toxicity, and a kind of herd mentality as well.
Yeah, I think I might turn it off as well, it makes things a bit like a shouting match.
It seems to be very heavy on edge but very light on actual Marxist discussion.
Yes, I was kind of being rhetorical there, I thought that would be enough to draw attention to what’s going on. Also a new Lemmy account that exclusively links to one unknown website is a big red flag.
Well he’s on Mastodon so I guess that’s your answer.
Why would we attack the author? That seems like an oddly specific request that makes me oddly suspicious of the author, if anything.
Too many of my relatives are Masons, I figure it would just be like hanging out with my old relatives.
Your hobbies aren’t set in stone, is it possible to find other ones (in addition) that involve socialising? You’re free to try out various things until you find something you like.
The only reason I asked is that I wasn’t 100% sure what it means, I could have guessed. I got that it probably means the same thing, I just wasn’t sure if it would cover a city/train trip the same way I was thinking. I, personally, wouldn’t use vacation. If they mean the same thing I think probably the Americans have the etymologically better term, if anything.
What a lovely, humble thing to say, thank you.
Respectfully, I’m assuming a “vacation” here is a US-ism for what we in the UK would call a “holiday” (i.e. a recreational trip somewhere), I’m not sure if there are nuanced differences. To see as much as possible of the local culture is generally my aim, that’s my main reason for travelling. I’m not saying that in a snooty “high culture” way at all, sometimes the most mundane cultural things can be the most interesting. Also to try the local cuisine. I like trains, so going to places I can explore by train are great - Interrailing around Europe have been some of my favourite trips. Also I did a great train trip around Japan pre-covid.
