Thanks for the kind replies. I didn't necessarily make this post looking for sympathy, moreso just getting it off my chest, so I appreciate y'all taking a moment.
Are the green skinned veggies were zucchini? It almost looks like tiny acorn squash with skin still on, but I've never heard of eating the skin on those. The size of those sausages is throwing me off in figuring it out... Please help 😂
I first got turned onto Ghost earlier this year, and while I really like the retro tongue-in-cheek cheesiness of a lot of their stuff, The Twenties just leans a little too hard into sounding like it came out of a rock-themed Broadway show.
Btw, I just read a comment on C/trees about taking a listen to your favorite band's worst song while high... 😉
Fully agreed that Hot/rising is garbage right now. It seems to weight very recent posts with zero comments or upvotes equally with older posts that have robust discussion, so >80% of the content is the same as sorting by New.
This looks like what you'd get if you asked an AI to produce a picture of Janeway after feeding it a training set consisting entirely of Ben Garrison's Trump cartoons.
Blocking the handful (okay more like couple dozen) sports-related bots did the trick for me.
I don't mind seeing posts I'm not interested when I scroll All, the annoying part is a wall of 20+ posts, which is mainly a problem when bots are mass-reposting content (sports score for example)
But if you're really annoyed by seeing irrelevant content, there are two main options:
Stop browsing All or Local and switch to your Frontpage, which is only the communities you've subscribed to. It's still nice to browse All once in awhile to get turned onto new communities, but there are also certain communities you can subscribe to specifically for the purpose of seeing new and trending communities.
This is more porn-related, but switch to an instance that is not federated with porn-instances. For example, I'm on lemm.ee, and I only rarely see moderately-NSFW content on All or Local.
According to google the town of Midwest, WY has 283 people, which is damn near half of the state's population. So add in a few more confused cowboys and that checks out.
Which is totally fine in a movie where little callbacks and winks to the audience make sense--like Tarantino flicks or cheesy slashers. Where it gets annoying is when it's plopped into something like a serious historical drama or atmospheric sci fi. In so many cases it's just jarring and snaps you out of the movie world for awhile
I must be an idiot. When I read the title, I first thought it was a non-native English speaker asking about people who had Tamagotchis back in the day...
As in... a talking button you keep for a pet, not a button FOR your pet to use.
For me it's the period next to the spacebar. I think my right thumb comes down at just the wrong angle to touch both at the same time. One of these days maybe I'll wise up and change the layout.... but not today.
That's exactly it. Cable management is a top-down design philosophy. The Borg are a collective that organically integrates biological, mechanical, electronic, and any other systems that they find useful--it's quite literally the polar opposite of a top-down design philosophy.
It would be more surprising if the Borg had tidy cable management, because that implies some hierarchy. Actually, the Borg cubes are a little out of place in that regard. Spheres or fractal-ish structures would make more sense.
