One of the first things I did when joining kbin was start blocking many of the meme communities. It’s just not for me. Same reason I deleted my Facebook all those years ago. The ONE exception is LOTRmemes because come on

Same here. I’ve had mine for a few weeks and I love it. The battery life is amazing too, I charge it once a week.

Which book? I’ve never heard of him before today but after reading a few articles I’d like to check out one of his books. Googling sends me quite a few results.

Pay off my mortgage, invest it and live off the interest, and spend the rest of my life traveling with my wife

I’m the opposite. I live in the midwestern US so when it’s hot, it’s also humid. If my room is above 72F I can’t even sleep, I just sweat right through the sheets. On the other hand, when it’s 40F out, I’ll open my windows and sleep in my boxers.

I’m 34 (male) and my brother is 31. He’s my best friend (besides my wife) but he moved like 10 hours away so we try to fly a couple of times a year to hang out. We text every day multiple times.

Same thing as Lemmy, just a different site but it’s federated as well. Lemmy can see kbin content and we can see Lemmy content. I’m replying from kbin right now.

Just kbin and discord, I have no other social media.

I decided to go with Plex because I can use it from my roku TVs and my game consoles. I let a few friends and family members log in as well to stream and they’re primarily doing it from game consoles. Most of those people don’t even have a desktop PC. Granted, I don’t know what features in that ballpark that Jellyfin may have now, I set this up a long time ago and just haven’t really given it much thought since then.

I still remember watching the OC back in high school and seeing them play a Playstation game with an Xbox controller. I think about it sometimes.

I decided to come home during summer break during my senior year of college. I wasn’t going to but I decided I should do something besides sitting around playing video games. I got in the car, drove for 4 hours, and got a call from my best friend that he was having some people over that night. I almost didn’t go because I was tired from the drive. I decided to go. I knew everyone there, including a girl I had been friends with for years but hadn’t seen in awhile. We were all hanging out, me and this girl ended up hooking up that night. We’ve been together over 12 years, married for 6. If I had decided to stay at my apartment and play Skyrim instead of driving home, we very likely wouldn’t be together. I think about it more than I should lol.

Text is why I always add reddit to a search too. I do not want a video in response to my search, pretty much ever, and on the rare occasion I do, I go straight to YouTube.

Is there an article I can read? Besides hating video in general for getting information, also fuck TikTok.

I also use Podcast Addict, I recommend it.

Make on here on the fediverse and I’ll sub!

Yeah it’s the kbin equivalent. On Lemmy you have Communities.

It got too big and too accessible. Productive conversation became harder to have as they’d get pushed down by low effort comments from people trying to earn internet points and do little else. That also led to echo chambers which leads people to react rather than discuss. That’s not the whole reason but in my mind that’s a big part of why it degraded so badly.

I’d go a step further and see if anyone here has recommendations for the best RSS readers. I’ve never used one, and I’m wary to take any of the ones offered in the Android play store that are going to shove ads in my face. I’d love a quick guide to set them up properly, too. I’m a luddite when it comes to this apparently because the last one I installed, I couldn’t get it to grab any of the links.

EDIT: I installed Feedly and it was easy to set up. I don’t need it to do anything but grab articles I’m interested in and it seems to do that just fine. I’d just like to be able to unfollow all news/politics subs on the fediverse and stick to articles only. Thanks for the input to everyone who replied.

You will be absolutely miserable. I was leaking blood out of my mouth for days after mine and the pain was seriously intense. Heavy dental surgery like that requires rest to recover properly.

I once added a bottle of cherry Pepsi to my crock pot when making pulled pork and it was damn good.
