350 years ahead of medical science, not bad going!

Usually within a couple of minutes unless something is triggering my anxiety, which hasnt happened in years thankfully. Otherwise I can pretty much turn my sleep on/off at will

Super flexible biological clock - I dont get jetlag - at all. I can fly half way round the world non-stop and get off at the other end and just carry on with my day, go to sleep when its night time at my destination. I also find shift work really easy, as long as I get some sleep at some time before or after I'm good. I can also turn sleeping on/off as required. I should have had a job that required a lot of travel

Food in general there is really good, it is a healthier society in many ways beyond that too

This thread has almost 1400 replies, thats getting up there towards reddit levels of traffic. They are OK in the short term but the damage has been done and there is now a big viable alternative with decent amounts of traffic. I have noticed it is definitely quieter there

A gun held to my head?

You do have to look at the track record of the party to see if they will try to enact policy - this is why I'd never vote Winston First. And hopefully they will last more than 3 years

Probably but I do not care, I vote on policy and policy only. I dont care what leaders look like, if that was important to me I'd vote TOP, Raf Manji is hot as fuck

This is news? I would have been extremely surprised if it wasnt. This is normal for China, the CCP is eavesdropping on everything

What phones cant hotspot? If have had some really cheap bottom of the barrel phones and never had one that couldnt hotspot

A few mobile plans offered by Telcos here in New Zealand used to have this as well, not sure if they still do

I cycle all the way, manual bike, cycle everywhere except when I have something impractical to carry by bike or the weather is really bad. I used to be able to do what you do on the way in - cycle the first 9 km into the train station, and train the rest of the way until they shut the line down for a year. Drove today because I had to pick up a load of ironing, an access panel and my bike itself after servicing. I do have a spare bike but it is really difficult to carry another bike on a bike

My experience has been great, even with the lemmy.world outages. A couple of my favourite niche communities are now coming to life and I now post more here now than I do on reddit. Of course there are still glitches and bugs and it is more confusing than reddit for new users, but all that will resolve itself over time. Reddit has had well over a decade to fine tune itself whereas the fediverse is only a couple of years old and has only really in the last couple of months seen a massive influx of new users that have tested its infrastructure to its limits and sometimes beyond

I am not surprised in the slightest

I upvote FAR more than I downvote. I upvote anything thats interesting, anything thats a worthwhile contribution, anything I agree with, or even some stuff I dont. I upvote any time someone is trying to learn

Only time I downvote is when somebody is either blatantly trolling or deeply disconnected from reality

Just had a look, thats very helpful. Great transparency, just like reddit doesnt have

Never, I have many better things to do with my time. I'm honestly astonished that anyone can be bothered. I downvote the comment if I really dislike it and move right along

China and fraud - like peanut butter and jelly, they just go together naturally

I couldnt see the comment, but that would make sense that a hexbear user could be behind this - lot of effort though and lots of narcicissm needed too

I'm in New Zealand which has a reputation for being safe and tranquil (and it is.... in some parts). Japan lives up to it practically everywhere, even the big cities. And yes Japans issues pale in comparison to ours, just as our pale in comparison to places like the USA or South Africa
