holy shit, i thought that was some kind of graphical overlay. that's a bike lane!? that has to be intentional, like some kind of malicious compliance from someone who hates cyclists

I have an account on lemm.ee that I use occasionally. In my experience the instance's owner is extremely responsive. You should try making a post on the support community first, and then if that fails, messaging him directly.

No, I'm browsing all. I don't even have any subscriptions on this account.

haha yes

Honestly not sure about the exact server, but I know from (actually) avoiding clicking on them that they're usually posted to "The Yiff Community."

It's not that bad. One of the major advantages of Lemmy being smaller than Reddit. Once you block the reddit repost bots (there are like 3 and my current instance is straight up not even federated with the instances they're on anyway) it's fairly useful to just see articles; helps avoid the trap of only reading comments about articles instead.

I just checked, and my first page right now is several self post questions, one vanilla porn post, an image about the Boost app, and eight news articles. I'd call that pretty standard.

In fact sorting by new gives me more news than sorting by top. Like 70% of top posts are stale memes.

You clearly haven't been looking very hard. I see it almost every day just sorting by new.

That shit won't be remotely safe for decades and I personally won't trust it until people have actually managed to live long lives with them... so, no.

Yeah that looks like the drizzle, totally different guy

Anyone else coming through, please note that by "all of this," this guy is referring to some pretty wild conspiracy theories. I'm talking "turning the frogs gay" tier stuff, not just the corporate moneymaking corruption that's actually real.

was it 10 thousand years now? in the movies they alternate between saying "a thousand years" or "a thousand generations." i mean, either way i think your point stands, but still

[–] BlemboTheThird 6 points 1 year ago

Also a hoosier. I definitely enunciate harder on "they're" versus "there" or "their" but in your other examples I can't discern any differences.

You might also try "fare/fair" and "stare/stair."

It is actually useful for detecting bugs crawling on your skin. Having them bump into hairs is way more effective than just giving them a free, smooth pass. Sure, we get lots of false positives, but in an evolutionary context where bug bites, venom, and diseases are significantly more dangerous, 100 false positives are worth avoiding the 1 false negative.
