to quote pulp fiction, personality goes a long way.

what happens when you dont have personality to make up the difference? you just need to learn to be happy with yourself.

honestly you should start with being happy with yourself which helps with the confidence to demonstrate a good personality… then you might win the relationship lottery… might.

zero. it would require 2/3rds of the senate and that will not happen. they barely have the house.

so part of your room and board is tech support services? sounds fair.

existence is pain

i like when harry met sally because it hits this topic head-on

i use nearlyfreespeech.net for registrar and small-site hosting. its incredibly cheap, pay for what you need etc.

i use amazon AWS for anything that needs professional-level services including SMTP and ‘account handoff’ capability if i need to walk away and hand it to someone else.

lifes too short to deal with assholes. blood relative or not. fuck that shiit

people that have more money than they could ever spend trying to accumulate more money

less variables on a runway. its a very strictly controlled environment unlike most roads

smells like mastodon, only with worse content searching, worse scalability, worse moderation and less content reliability.

awesome.

i really dont care either way, but it must really sucks for those adoptable kids that will never have parents.

the fediverse is largely public. so i would only put here public info. ergo, i dont give a shit what the public does with it.

i just discovered modding… ive really enjoyed some of the basic content extension mods… I forget the name of the big one

anyone have any extending-content mod recommendations?

i tend to only use the mobile version or desktop-in-mobile on firefox, because it works 90% of the time without me having to worry about yet-another-fucking-app

one big exception is banking… but social media? im not using an app for a generic website.

a better question is ‘the problem of evil’

if god is truly omnipotent (all-powerful), omniscient (all-knowing), and omnibenevolent (perfectly good), then it seems logically impossible for significant evil to exist, as god would both know about it and have the power to prevent it.

this is my favorite as the theistic hand-waving needing to resolve it is incredible from the start.

empathy

• a. it allows access to the ‘microblog’ side of the fediverse… the ‘twitter-like’ stuff. such as mastodon and universodon… so you can follow people and they can follow you. this is not possible using lemmy
• b. it doesnt look like someone forgot the css
• c. doesnt need an app on mobile. works great from mobile browsers.

id just like to add that lemmy is a single platform in the threadiverse half of the fediverse, the reddit-clone side.

there are platforms like mbin that can access all sides of the fediverse. shoutout https://moist.catsweat.com/

its selfish, but its the world today. people are indifferent to strangers.

all you can do is not be one of them, and be polite. be the change you want to see.

passive-aggressively talking about the bad behavior is not a mature solution.

is ‘boost’ not a basic lemmy feature? i do lot of boosting from mbin, but it is inherently mastodon-capable.
