I've actually been interested in shorthand for years. If you want to migrate over some of the better old content from reddit, I'll sub and see what happens

Welcome aboard, I joined in the last big exodus. It's not the same here but it's good and getting better.

I hope you're not too, but I believe you probably are. All these ridiculous orders they're giving? People are carrying them out without hesitation all across the US. They dumped billions of gallons of reservoir water from California for no reason. They keep letting DOGE into their spaces and just letting them do whatever they want. Nobody in the US has the spine to stand up to authority and I will not risk having any faith that they'll suddenly remember it when people trained to follow orders and shoot are told to follow orders and shoot.

I'd really love a modern smartphone with a t9 keypad. I used to be able to type almost as fast on t9 as on a real keyboard. I miss it so much.

I kind of a little bit believe that dreams have some weird predictive ability. The scientist in me knows it's likely a mix of confirmation bias and information synthesis, but like... my family has a pretty strong history of dreaming about deaths and births a week or two prior to pregnancy announcements and right before/after deaths. My mom has had several dreams where a loved one has come and chatted with her in a dream and said goodbye, then later that day we learn they passed, for example. It's happened enough that I have a lot of trouble brushing it off. I've had a similar dream myself and it felt quite different from a normal sleep dream. That one was less paranormalish though, it was a friend who died a few years ago and showed up to give me some life advice. Just... hit me in a specific, indescribable way (it was good advice too).

Can't explain it. Don't really believe it's paranormal I guess, but I also don't disbelieve.

I expected this to be downvoted a lot because whatever paid-for group is promoting inner-class violence wouldn’t want the ideologies they’re promoting to be challenged.

Oh get a life. It's downvoted because you're being disingenous and can't believe anyone would find that distasteful, you twit. Who would hire people to downvote stuff like this on lemmy of all places? We'll do it for free, especially if you add edits like that.

and this way we're also not throwing value at a hostile american corporation.

As a person who has probably typed thousands of words defending the difference between 'objective' and 'subjective' I can't tell you how good I feel reading your comment.

afaict Lemmy stayed 'pretty good' after the last reddit migration, maybe this one will be enough to fuel a lot of the niche communities that I think are missing here.

yay this time I came back to lemmy before it was cool.

How Trump’s ‘51st State’ Canada Talk Came to Be Seen as Deadly Serious

Here's how: he keeps threatening things, people say it's a joke, then he does them and people act surprised. That's it in its entirety. Anyone who doesn't take his threats as threats by now is an utter moron.

whenever Trump is out of office.

I love this kind of optimism.

you too friend!

I got suspended because I was banned from a sub years ago on a different account, and I can't block that subreddit. Accidentally commented on r/all, instantly suspended for 'ban evasion'. I didn't make a secret of the alt account, I made it to avoid doxxing. I didn't want to comment on the subreddit, I'd block it from my feed if I could. Reddit knew I was banned and could have just kept me from posting there in the first place. Instead, suspension for evasion. Their whole setup is truly bizarre.

Anyway it dramatically reduced my doomscrolling so it wasn't a bad thing

I wouldn't wish that on poor Trudeau, the guy's been doing quite a good job this week.

I appreciate the sentiment, but not every country is as viewpoint-averse as the US. I read the Communist Manifesto as an assignment in high school. We shouldn't normalize the US's particular approach to propaganda.

he's threatening to invade his allies, "nasty" was already met and passed.

Yes. You're phrasing that like it's some kind of gotcha, but this whole conversation started with me pointing out that we'd just be repeating our errors with the us but versus a different imperial polity.

Probably both tbh. The pessimistic view is being born out in practice right now.

A foreign power having far, far too much control over our economic possessions. Information is a resource; what they do with it is inconsequential, we have to stop giving it away to people simply because they're our 'trade partners' right now.
