Native language French, fluent in English, practicing Cantonese and German.
Though to an extent, the lack of community, especially amongst children is due to the complete lack of independence and they have to depend on their parents to drive them everywhere.
where do you live that there’s not even a playground or a residential street within walking distance of your home?
I wouldn’t use “never get to experience” but i would say it’s much harder to have that real sense of community that we easily found in the 90s, early 2000s, etc.
People are more connected to others but still more isolated from others. We were less connected to other people back then so people made a real effort to come up with fun activities and bond together. For kids, it’s the lack of just playing outside in the neighbourhood with friends. For adults, it’s the lack of third places and community/religious events.

US citizens are obligated to enter the US on their US passport. They are also obligated to file taxes regardless of where they live. As a US citizen, you could be living on Mars for your whole life and still have to file US taxes.
You also have what, 6 years of back taxes to file? You should find a CPA with knowledge us US/German tax laws to prepare that for you. There may be treaties in place.
As someone else said, there’s also the selective service you were supposed to have registered for
I know some Gen Z recent grads who use chatgpt to write their code.
back in my day, we had to write our code ourselves…
Animal 15 began to lose coordination, and staff observed that she would shake uncontrollably when she saw lab workers.

Exactly - when you create a site, you have a responsibility to make sure it’s not used to distribute child porn.

That burden should not rest on 2 people.
No one is paid for this, but moderation is going to become a problem for Lemmy and the volunteers who are admins are going to need support.
yes, that’s what i’m saying. We should acknowledge that we are fortunate to have dedicated volunteer devs and work on helping/supporting them.
I see where you are coming from, but who is supposed to make this statement, LW admins? Because it’s not their role. And if it’s Lemmy devs, then it shouldn’t be we.
whoever came up with “we should have full time developers” and is managing that team should be the person thinking of how to help the full time developers given the increased responsibilities/work load
There are just two full-time developers on this project and they seem to have other priorities. No offense to them but it doesn’t inspire much faith for the future of Lemmy.
this doesn’t seem like a respectful comment to make. People have responsibilities; they aren’t paid for this. It doesn’t seem to fair to make criticisms of something when we aren’t doing anything to provide a solution. A better comment would be “there are just 2 full time developers on this project and they have other priorities. we are working on increasing the number of full time developers.”
thank you!
When i lived in hongkong i never boiled the water, i just drank it from the tap
It seems like a lot of people complain about not seeing content but then don’t contribute any content themselves. Like, posts are old because there’s little new content, so maybe everyone can help contribute to communities. Content doesn’t miraculously appear.
“The advanced features, namely being able to subscribe to communities in other instances, should be eased into it later”
I understand this and I would at first agree, but subscribing to communities is basically the most important thing and it’s frustrating/deterrent to learn that it’s on other websites and you can’t directly subscribe just like you can on other websites like you might on Reddit or Facebook or any other aggregator
I made a bunch of communities and subscribed to others on different instances, hope other people will post as well!
Is there a french instance? I can actually do the French and German ones since I am already creating and involved with those communities.
of all the places to not have easy access to healthcare…
