Hey, so I believe in a higher power but I’m not on board with any particular religion. Anyone else think it’s cool to just fly solo as a good human, no religion attached?

Typically i’l pick 2 sources from each political leaning...

I didn’t read this series when I was a kid, but I finally got around to reading Roger Zelazny’s Chronicles of Amber....

I’m thinking about character building and curious about other people’s perspectives on male, female, being a teenager and coexistence with teenagers.

Weeks? Months? Years? Any other interesting experiences?

For me it’s detailed describtions about people’s dreams....

I’m in a situation with my manager who is suggesting that clock-in starts when the employee arrives to the site of work. Effectively saying that everyone should be coming in 15 minutes earlier than their start time....

I absolutely love flying dreams, not for the actual flying, but because I always use my skill to get out of bad/unwanted situations. I’ll be in a foot chase and I’ll just zing off into the sky. I’m also the only one who can fly, so I show off a lot.

I’m not a natural organizer, but I’m starting to appreciate things that help me organize as I get older....

Personally, most of my life has been both difficult and unpleasant due to mental health issues (and capitalism), so I’m just proud of myself for still being here.

For me it’s definitely the Dark Tower, but the Golden Compas was also a huge letdown.

For mental health reasons, I had taken myself out of most political topics. But lately there seems to be a surge of talk about Palestine and Hamas (forgive me if I spelled this wrong). I do know it’s something to do with land rights, but it also seems to be so much more at the same time. I’m not trying to start any fights. I...

Hello. I was directed here by someone who saw a question on this topic I posted at reddit. If there is a more appropriate place to ask these questions, feel free to direct me there. I’m obviously not familiar with policy and protocol here, so if I inadvertently step on any toes, I apologize in advance. I am planning to soon...

I personally am in a phenomenally stable polyamorous relationship. I’ve been married to my wife for 12 years, and she has had the same boyfriend for about half of that time. It’s a really fulfilling arrangement for all of us in various ways. We’re all genuinely happy and satisfied. I’m kind of casually looking for a...

I came here for the same reasons as most of you and chiefly among them was to escape the corporate embrace of common social media platforms....

Hello all, I’ve only used lemmy on mobile so far there has been a million and one posts about apps for lemmy for mobile. My plan was to lurk and read something about pc lemmy, and set it up, but I haven’t found any. What can I use on desktop to browse lemmy?...

I hate that I always compare Lemmy to Reddit, but Reddit used to have (not sure if they still do) guidelines called “Reddiquette” that included guidelines about upvoting and downvoting. I don’t remember the specifics (and sending too much of my browser traffic to Reddit makes me feel dirty) but one of the guidelines was...

I work as a contractor, been working here for 9 years, had the same contract company all that time… Except until recently when the contract came up for bid and the old company was outbid by another. Lucky for me, they’re keeping all the same people, positions, and whatnot. I like my job, I look forward to the change, I just...

Is there a fundamental internet meme that has had such a major impact that it would have notable repercussions if it had somehow disappeared?

What exactly is accomplished when corporate culture sits everybody down and has a power point about the strategy, business goals for the next year....

Hey all....

Ok this one might be silly but…where can I buy a real raised relief map these days? It’s for a gift…Is there a trustworthy seller making them? I mean, with real physical elevations of mountains etc, not just shading to give it a “look-like”. I’m interested maybe in European regions or the whole world, not US-centric....

I would like to start using RSS feeds but every client I’ve searched up has a subscription method of payment. Are there any RSS clients that don’t do this?

This is probably a dumb question but what is a better way to send a link to a song to friends without using Spotify? I don’t use Spotify anymore so I don’t like going back to that website just to copy a song link so people could hear it. I know I could send something like a YouTube link but I’m trying to degoogle so I...
