My sister inherited my dad’s big fireproof gun safes and things like birth certificates are in there (at this point maybe they should be on our person).

I needed more existential dread so thanks for this. <3

The Biden administration is working on improving train infrastructure but if you look at the map of what they’re adding, it’s limited to a very small section of the country. I mean, it’s like cross country but it’s such a massive country that it’s still super limited.

I wouldn’t say no doubt. Some certainly would do that, others could have more integrity.

He’s not smiling.

The standard web UI also needs major improvements. Nobody logs in through an app for their first time and first impressions are critical. It needs to be easier to navigate and use without downloading an app so people will stick around long enough to get involved and have a good time.

I thought it was hilarious and works with their dishonor but I also wouldn’t have loved if they had been head banging to metal or going to town on some Klingon opera.

The actual AC issue aside, I feel that this is a good argument for some urban redevelopment to plant more area/climate appropriate trees. It would provide shade and provide some offset for the CO2 emissions. Getting shade between the sun and the buildings would help make the heat more tolerable and getting some shade over the roadways and parking lots would help decrease urban heat bubble effects.

You are correct about Tildes. They are very intentionally cultivating a different atmosphere and don’t want Reddit’s huddled masses. There is a subset of reddit users who fit there but it’s not the shitposting crowd.

Yeahhhh that too, but you have to appeal to an American sensibility since it’s a (largely) American website:/

It’s a totally SFW game, too, so I honestly don’t understand the point the mods are trying to make here though. The first time my V (sorry if the spoiler tag doesn’t work properly I’m confused about where I actually type my spoiler)

I thought, “ah yes, what a wholesome family oriented game. I think I’ll invite my grandma over to play with me.”

My cat didn’t get any love over on insert community name here. I hope you guys updoot me more than they did.

Internally they called cancellations the Iliad Process. If that isn’t a sign that everything is super totally above board I don’t know what is.

Yeah, you could be right that it is just for the feel good press to make them look good. Look at clothes donations. It tanks local textile industries and they’re sometimes stuck with piles upon piles of used clothes that don’t even look nice. Maybe there’s something similar happening here.

Yummy, glad to be using some rando’s used soap. But on a more serious note as long as it’s being done in a way that is sanitary and doesn’t risk spreading any diseases then this is much better than producing all that waste.

So many people are saying Duck Duck Go so I’m just throwing a comment out there to make sure everyone is aware that it’s literally Bing without the personal data. People joke about how bag Bing is, and Microsoft is a bit of a monster so I think people need to be aware of what they’re actually using. That said, if it works for you then cool, since Google is garbage now and there are not a lot of great alternatives.

Duck Duck Go is literally just Bing without the personal data. If it works for you then it works for you, but it’s good to know what you’re really using.

I was curious about Beehaw after hearing about them defederating and looked to see what was over there and what their content looked like. They have a stickied post at the very top that goes over the numbers if you’re curious what they’re saying it costs to run that instance. I feel like numbers could be totally variable based on a number of factors but that might give you a good idea. A smaller instance might be less and a larger one with the best hardware might be more but they’re probably all playing in the same general ballpark.
