I originally thought it said “Banksy seed pods” and was like “damn, where can’t that dude create art?”

I’m with you about 2023. I guess outage is cheaper than change.

I hope this doesn’t come across the wrong way, but… does Lemmy want to become Reddit?

A few years ago when I first tried Lemmy, I had a lot of the same criticisms. I had no idea what instance to choose and was agonizing over it, until I saw a comment that said “it doesn’t fucking matter what instance you start with. Just pick a big one and get going.”

After a couple months of browsing and getting familiar, I now have multiple accounts on multiple instances and use a couple of them frequently. I don’t need one single identity on a social media platform, and because karma doesn’t matter, I jump ship on my accounts whenever I want.

At this point, I don’t think I want Reddit users to migrate over to Lemmy. A lot of the problems with Reddit come from their users. Lemmy has a far better culture than Reddit.

The user experience of Lemmy could improve, but there’s an assumption that Lemmy should be a kind of “Reddit killer”, but after a few years of using Lemmy, I could care less about that.

It’s a net. They zip tie a net to a drone. It costs about $18.50.

Check the trunk 😏

Black & White was dope

Mary is so freaking hot. Either way.

“You feel nothing”

Me too man. Me too…

Bean-posting is the inside joke around Lemmy. Every once in awhile, the whole place goes ape over beans.

Had a similar situation happen at one of my old workplaces. Super culty. You’ll survive.

In addition to what others said (namely, that companies tend not to give “references” anymore, but instead give “verification”, which is where they confirm the dates of employment), if you need references, I recommend getting coworkers who liked you to write a letter of recommendation and send it directly to you for you to include with your job applications.

You can whip up a “letter of recommendation” template to send to your work friends, then just ask them not to include a date on their letter. I’ve been reusing some old letters of recommendation for years and future employers seem to appreciate that I include them in my app.

Yep, this approach exactly.

I’m in this meme and it maketh me morose

I hope you like beans

My sister verbally attacked my spouse out of nowhere. Later during our drive home she said, “I’m so sorry you had to grow up in that environment.” I nearly cried.

About 48% of young women who had smartphones by 5 or 6 years old reported having severe suicidal thoughts, compared to 28% of females who had smartphones by 13 or older.

In young men, 31% of those who had smartphones by 5 or 6 years old reported having severe suicidal thoughts and 20% of males who had smartphones by 13 or older reported having severe suicidal thoughts.

Damn, smart phones need to be a controlled substance.

Hell yeah! Now go get blackout drunk

Fire Emblem: Three Houses

Man, I put a good 20 hours into that game and the gameplay loop just wasn’t for me.

I really loved Rebirth and will be taking time off work when Part 3 comes out.

Even if I don’t have time to play them, I still find myself buying them.

Account-walled. Can we get a summary, OP?
