Yeah this was it for me. Best app ever and I was really upset that Reddit forcefully killed it for money. However, I did find that the app Red Reader is allowed to exist because of its accessibility features for the visually impaired. It’s a good browsing experience. I still do browse Reddit because a lot of the communities I visit on there either don’t exist on Lemmy or are too underpopulated for much of any content.

Please don’t tell me to just “post more content” myself. The point is I often don’t have much content for the communities I visit. Like it or not, a community with 10 active members just isn’t enough to have much to participate with, even if I am the one posting most of the content.

Good luck scooping up a motherfucking house centipede. They move at like five billion miles per hour.

Well…I am only one person, but if it adds to anything, I have literally never cared. Not when I first got internet as a pre teen and not now.

No prob lol. Hope that satisfied whatever hypothesis you had!!

I built a whole ass cat wall and my cat has literally never used it beyond one step.

Even though he can jump crazy high and far, I’m wondering if he would like some intermediate steps between the shelves but idk. I did notice that he stumbled jumping between them for treats the one time.

This essentially answers my question of how in the world were flails like in the OP’s question a thing? Answer: they probably never were

Even child me was confused at how you could use such a weapon without injuring yourself.

Am I missing something or are you conflating two different issues? Why isn’t anyone saying anything about this?

Password security and internet privacy are totally independent issues. I obviously don’t want random people to be able to log into my bank account and steal my money.

But I’m sorry, I’m one of those people who don’t care about “privacy”, even after reading all of your comments here. Everyone is keen on using “slippery slope” sentiments like “suddenly the government is going to go after you for 3D printing” or “suddenly the government is going to throw you in jail for chronically going little bit over the speed limit” or even that the government is going to hunt you down for using Lemmy.

It’s like well…yes…those are technically within the realm of possibility. I’ll give you that. But is it likely to ever happen? No, not really. Some of us are ok with that probability. It’s ok if you aren’t. But it’s ok for those of us that are.

Most people on Lemmy read as doomsday preppers to me. I’d wager many here are preppers. You have to understand how outside the norm you guys all are and how outside the likelihood of what you’re saying can be. Check out some prepper communities if you’re interested in what I see in you all.

I hope this doesn’t offend anyone. I also just hope that you can see why it’s ok to let non-preppers continue to be non-preppers. Idk.

So when I got him from the shelter, they told me to give him half a can in the morning, half a can at night, and then “a little bit of dry food” (unspecified amount) as a snack. Very vague lol.

He is nonreactive to catnip, silvervine, and valerian root lol 🙃

Can you not get the HPV vaccine as a guy? Is it like not allowed in some areas? In my area, men, women, children, etc all can get it unless you’re close to retirement age.

Men can get HPV-associated penile cancers, although they are obviously much less common than cervical cancer. Still…you don’t want to lose your dick to dick cancer. Had a case somewhat recently at work with this scenario.

And besides penile cancer risk, the vaccine would help prevent it in their female partners. Or it can help prevent anal cancer in your male (or female) partners.

Idk it just seems like a win-win for everyone to get it.

Seems to be unpopular to admit in this post, but I use food delivery apps. Yes, the fees are ridiculous, but I can afford it. I don’t do it every day, but I do at least once a week.

I hate cooking and I hate dishes. It’s never pleasant. No, I can’t personally make something at home “better than most takeouts”. If you can, good for you. It’s not for me and I’m lucky that I am able to get takeout.

Honestly, I don’t know how in the world one human is able to keep up with working 40 hours a week, cook, dishes, laundry, clean, etc. It’s all too much for me. Hell, the state of my laundry has been insane the last several weeks.

Do you get to see a lot more stars out at night there?

Seems kind of silly…but the downtown started this tradition years back in coating the entire facade of the buildings in Christmas lights…not in a gaudy, cheesy way, but one single color per building. One shop would be blue and the shop next door would be red, etc. It started to become “known” in the area that this town would have the most lights ever in the downtown. They basically made a festival every year about it and more and more visitors seemed to come from out of town. And as time went on, more and more business neighboring the downtown started taking part. It looks amazing at night…every single building entirely lit up in a different color. I haven’t seen it in years…I guess it’ll be almost 10 at this point.

Agreed, @sprigatito_bread@lemmy.world. Get a job. Any job. Ideally one that could pay a bit more than minimum wage and/or one tangentially related to the field you want to go into. But you can’t afford to be too picky. That’s step one.

Step two, move out. I know you said you don’t have friends. You don’t need them. But you need to find a roommate because you’re unlikely to be able to afford to live on your own.

This reddit link has some ideas/websites to try for step two. It’s not an exhaustive list on how to find a roommate, but it’s a start.

My cat doesn’t seem to treat me any more loving when I’m having a visibly hard time lol.

But it’s ok because likes to be close anyway.

Why do you keep posting Patreon links???

Same! Literally always greets me at the door with nonstop meowing! Hell, sometimes I even get this response when I walk into another room and then walk back in!!

My cat uses both the posts and the furniture, even though the posts block some of the furniture corners. :(
