I browse lemmy exclusively, as a result of distaste for corporatization. Personally I have no reason to leave and I doubt I will anytime soon. I don’t have any particular niches that I’m a part of, so the only thing that would cause me to leave is if the feed dried up. I usually open lemmy in the morning and scroll All - top 12h. I get an hour or so of scrolling before I reach posts with sub-10 votes. And that’s all I really need. I’ll be here until I can’t do that anymore.

That’s why I specifically try to avoid saying that, and instead say “important question”. Almost always interchangeable, gets the point across, and you don’t sound like a subservient AI.

Immediately kill myself as quick as possible. That’s genuinely one of my worst fears is being entered by a bug. I have an obsessive habit of wiping the inside/underneath the lip of the toilet every time I use it just in case there could be a spider. There has never been a spider. Yet I’m compelled to do it every single time.

Fr, imagine pirating and settling for a worse experience

The reddit r/piracy megathread has more wikis/hubs, more sources is always better, expand your reach and crosscheck what is said because people lie. Hence i won’t recommend anything specific

Seriously. It’s peak reddit behavior. Part of what made lemmy feel like such a breath of fresh air when I migrated was the distinct lack of karma-farm-esque posts. I’m unfortunately speaking in the past tense now.

I arrived at that point a few years ago. You’re in for a world of discovery. As an fps fan myself I highly recommend Ultrakill. There’s a demo so you don’t have to commit.

They are hollow, only a couple millimeters thick. They melt in less than a minute.

The deletion is absolute (all atoms, creates a true void), and infinite in size vertically. Your first use of this power results in massive tectonic shifts and (admittedly low-key) global chaos.

Everyone within 100 meters feels an urge to look in your direction as soon as you think about using your power.

There are dozens of us! Dozens!!!

I wouldn’t be surprised either. There is an intelligence portion on which you’ll be disqualified if you score too high. I wonder if it was that part.

Maybe I miscommunicated my position. I’m not interested in withholding housing or support from anyone. As a previous recipient of such services, I will always advocate their value. I think we should be doing more, not less. I simply think the value of housing and mental health services is multiplied exponentially when they are combined.

Being homeless causes mental health and drug abuse, not the other way around.

You’re saying this with authority as if it’s some sort of universal truth when it is not. Speaking from experience having been homeless myself (2 years between Seattle and LA), both are true. Many people end up homeless because of how their mental illness has affected their ability to go about daily life. For these individuals specifically, housing alone is not a cure-all. If that person doesn’t receive some other kind of support, their life is still unmanageable for them.

To treat the general problem of homelessness, both types of people in this binary have to be considered.

Needing housing is unfortunately only part of the problem. Whether it’s part of the reason they became homeless, or damage incurred in the course of being homeless, mental illness and co-occuring substance abuse go hand in hand with homelessness. (Though that majority dynamic may change with the way things have been going, it’s becoming easier to fall through the entire net or what’s left of it). If those issues aren’t addressed simultaneously, the person ends up right back where they were, or even worse off.

Two people died. This is just disrespectful.

I saw that and it just felt so incredibly off. Literally saying things like “bro you can play any game you want”. Salesman-ass bullshit.

Meanwhile I unveil a plan to continue not giving a goddamn cent to J Bozo. Ever.

If we have to spend money to enjoy hanging out, we are not friends. But if you eat some honey roasted almonds from the bag in my center console when I offer, I love you.

Good afternoon Europe, how’s the day been so far?

I relate so hard. Honestly LED’s are nothing compared to the fucking laser headlights that now exist in Volvo models and others. Yes, you read that right, actual lasers.

I’ve been on the receiving end and actually had to pull over for a minute just to survive (ie not crash due to complete blindness from being flasbanged). Laser headlights should be illegal yesterday. The permanent damage from exposure again and again over time is going to cause long-term and slowly emerging vision problems theoughout the population. Seriously.
