They had me at coffee. A music festival that's just chill, low energy, sipping espresso or tea or hot cocoa, and listening to nice music all day. Why are there no vibe concerts, is that a contradiction?
On the one hand, the strikes last time have my wife a difficult situation that caused her to have to unpaid overtime (and her company has no interest in AI no less!). On the other hand, her company was and still is actively union busting by emailing anti-union shit and lying. Iirc, they even hired a firm for it.
So, out of spite for those jackasses lying about unions, please keep fighting! (Plus, why can't the producers, like her, organize?)
Yeeaaaah, I miss the dark humor, people here are sometimes a bit too literal. To be fair, they have their reasons, from being neurodivergent to being from cultures that just don't do dark humor. Our All feed really is everyone.
Weeeelllll... technically there are a couple of Lemmy cliches, but you make a good point. Canned bot responses to farm karma are certainly awful, with the only human exception being "look up en passant" because that was intentional predicability.
Around here, you can say what you really meant quite outright and most instances won't blink (except, ironically, the one you and I are on got a little heat for this exact thing, lol, they want to be most like Reddit).
True, I'm wondering how many neolibs and moderates would prefer other options. Republicans likely won't care much about the primary, but those groups do make up a fair amount of California too. Though I don't even remember who Gavin was up against.
I'm down for Governor Porter, but I also think DNC'll just back Harris following their usual bullshit "she earned it" bs. Honestly Porter is definitely more aligned with the standard Californian, especially after Harris moved even farther right trying to appeal to the general US (but let's be clear, she was still right of Porter even before that).
Bad, no, bored, yes. I generally just keep up with some web comics on there but as they at least move to BlueSky, that's less an issue. Plus the quality has dropped. I don't expect them to come to Lemmy, even if we do have a couple of good, very-Lemmy oriented comic artists.
Ironically, a lot of stock trading already is done by bot, it's a problem from a while ago. Not LLM, of course, much simpler but it's why it sometimes goes hive mind.
Oh, the stress? I remind myself that renters in my area are now paying twice what my mortgage is, and I bought just three years ago. It's a quick boost, and believe me, I've got at least a dozen fixes myself to do that I don't have the energy or money for.
If that's not enough, take a few weekends to at least hit what you can. Make a list and tackle things slowly as to not get overwhelmed. One by one, step by step.
For example, I used a week break to paint the kids room and it feels like a brand new home, even patching cracks and dealing with water damaged ceiling drywall (was minor, and the roofing was already fixed before I moved in). The rest of the house needs it, but it still made me feel like I did something.
To be fair, they really ramped it up on Reddit, however I think Lemmy just depends on the community and instance. I mean, hell, 196 split up kind of over this stuff (or at least, that was the initial trigger imo).
If you find yourself censored on World, there's quite a few other options (although usually farther left or tankie). Folks just need to host their own versions of things, although we rarely see more conservative folks bothering. Given how federation works, it's actually a wonder there isn't a Truth Social style community out there for most of us to block. >.>
Didn't realize don't know was an answer. I feel like that's a solid answer if you figure there's a chance of an error or something. I wouldn't put it since I don't play, though.
