Pretty much everything. The only people I can really talk to about my hobbies is a friend I talk to maybe once every two weeks. Even then, it’s hard getting a word in
Stop telling people to use adblockers ffs… Obviously most ppl on lemmy are smart enough to know about addblockers but the only way we get to keep using them is if enough “normies” watch adds. Stop educating people about addblockers for the love of god.
Adblockers are basic internet security these days.
We don’t need “normies” to keep the internet full of ads. If everyone used an adblocker, companies would be forced to think of more respectable ways to sell their product. Because every way they can find to blast us with ads against our will, we can find a way to block them.
Adblockers are already a compromise, we can also just hack their servers and distribute through piracy if we felt it necessary.
Yeah, the ants. Maybe they just followed a scent trail into your house and live far away. If that’s the case then it’ll be easy. A couple of addresses ago we had a fire ant colony living under our foundation. Nothing we did got rid of them. Even powerful poisons that they take back to the colony only worked for a week or two until the next round hatched and they were right back. It sucked! Best of luck! Hopefully they live far away.
I find frozen fries from the grocery store that are either air fried or deep fried are pretty good. My fries from scratch have always been disappointing or an ordeal.
You’ve never said something then thought better of it seconds after posting? Or perhaps you posted something as factual, but moments later figured out it wasn’t?
Its one thing if your comment has been sitting for hours or days and is part of the conversation, I won’t delete those even when I’m wrong. I’ll just do an edit and change to strikethrough. However, if its literally seconds and you realize your post is just unnecessarily inflammatory, or reading further comments leads you to sources that you find you are wrong under a minute from posting? Yes, I’ll delete those. No reason to waste other people’s time when what I ended up added is a net negative to the conversation and I know it. I can’t say I delete often, but very occasionally.
Used to dismiss it out of hand because all the ‘socialist countries’ are complete authoritarian hellholes. But in hindsight this is a kind of thought-terminating cliche. I never really knew what the idea was apart from some vague notion about sharing or something that’s well intentioned but never works out in practice. I think most people share this belief.
Turns out the idea is pretty simple: Worker ownership and control. Places like the USSR and China fail this definition because they don’t have any of that. Therefore they are not socialist. Those countries replicate the worker/owner dynamic of Capitalism, so it is ‘State Capitalism’. And they both have the same problem: A small group of people have all the power and they fuck over everyone else.
I had to get sold on the specific idea of ‘market socialism’ / ’ workplace democracy ’ before I learned and realised this. The general idea is that if you can run a country like a democracy, you can run a business like one too. In fact, many are. So lets do that as much as possible in order to wrestle power away from the owner class who spend all of their money bribing politicians and ruining everything.
A friend of mine has what we are pretty sure is a legitimate cradle memory. When he was born his skull was asymmetrical. Enough that he wore some kind of a head brace in the cradle (it must have worked because he was a model for a number of years lol). I was there when he told his mother about it (assuming it was a dream or something) and she basically confirmed the memory and that they had never told him about it assuming he wouldn’t remember.
I’m the only one who is into dank memes and chatting online with strangers.
My siblings are into video games… But not the same ones I am into.
My siblings love D&D; I prefer Shadowrun. (I mean. I like D&D too but not as much as Shadowrun)
My sister is taking game design classes; but has never actually programmed (even for a class yet). Meanwhile, I have a ton of mods I’ve made for various things up on Steam workshops and the Nexus, as well as programming a few utilities for tabletop games. Because I like it and taught myself for the fun of it.
Can recall with precise detail where I was, with who, on which situation and even what clothing everyone, including me, was wearing.
An added note:
Memory development is tied with the development of language capabilities. This means the earlier one becomes capable of speech, the earlier conscious memories start to set.
The clutch in my wife’s car started slipping on Christmas day. We had to limp it home and switch to my car which is an '89 Honda Prelude. My wife doesn’t like my car but at least it gets around for now. First world problem.
Earliest one I can actually put a date on is my first day of kindergarten. I remember the other kids doing some sort of crafting project outside. Other memories may or may not be earlier, hard to tell.
