Until the instance you choose blocks access to communities you enjoyed and it all starts over again.

Which I think is a problem in the structure of lemmy. I can understand them banning c/piracy from being hosted on lemmy.world, but blocking access to other communities on other instances from all of their users is really an issue. As a user I shouldn’t have to create a new account to be able to see something hosted on lemmy.ml, no matter what the admins of my home instance think about it.

I think it should be up to the community admin to find an instance that supports them, not both the community creator and every user that wants to see that content.

Until accounts can be migrated or users are disconnected from the instances, this will be a huge limit of Lemmy over other social media. Having to maintain multiple accounts on the same platform simply to view all the content you want will deter users.

I can’t speak for OP, but mine wasn’t a tantrum of leaving. It was simply a frustration in having to find another instance that is accepting users and generally matches up with my views, and then rebuilding a new account with new subscriptions and new blocks etc. Maybe I’m missing something? It’s really frustrating to have to rebuild your entire account because an instance admin blocked a community you were active in for semi-arbitrary reasons. If we could easily migrate accounts between instances, it would be very different.

Same here. Guess I’ve got to go to a new instance.

Why?

I’ve started listening to audio books. I usually only make it about 15-20 mins before I fall asleep.

Looking mindlessly at my phone and scrolling through pointless posts puts me to sleep significantly faster than laying still listening to whatever thoughts and concerns my brain conjures up.

Are you saying Ryan Gosling is literally a replicant?

Proof that Ben Shapiro buys and plays with Barbie’s. There is nothing wrong with that, but I’m sure Ben wouldn’t be too happy if that was on his Wiki.

I saw a great quote,

“It’s not pirating if buying it isn’t owning it”.

You really can play the game however you want. There are a bunch of monster contracts you can do if all you want to do is fight monsters, and a bunch of side quests involve fighting more monsters along the way. And some of the story show you some of the worst monsters are actually humans. The durability is a pain, but once you build up some cash, you can buy repair kits that make long travels easier. Otherwise, repair every time you are in a town/city. The game has a lot to it and starts kind of slow but once you get into it (about Crows Perch and the Baron storyline), it’s a ton of fun.

I started playing Sekiro and died so much I gave up. I moved on to RDR2.

This might be one of my favorite games. So much replay value if you don’t look up spoilers. If you didn’t get heart of stone or blood and wine, you REALLY need to. They are like entire games themselves.

Huh, maybe it was just the event or his mood. I met him at an security event and he was an absolute asshole to everyone. Basically any questions, he gave short terse answers to and clearly it didn’t want to say hi to anyone. Glad others had better experiences than mine.

mild cases of death

This got me.

Correct, until unregulated capitalism stopped acknowledging the human and saw people only as assets to be squeezed for profit, like cows to be milked until they run dry then slaughtered. Wages have largely not kept up with inflation while at the same time corporations turned necessities, like housing and healthcare, into profit centers. They observed the inelastic demand and lack of government oversight and are continuously raising prices on those necessities to maximize profits, knowing that people have no choice but to pay it or die. Capitalism without regulation just results in exploitation of the working class by the rich and greedy.

I think for the foreseeable future, we’d likely still track age via Earth years for the sake of avoiding this kind of thing

This is actually how it’s handled in the science fiction universes. Star Wars for example uses Corusant time as the standard across the galaxy.

It’s not about your age difference. It’s just hitting 30. My wife is 5 years younger than me and I couldn’t tell you how old either of us are
