Ok deal, but that means we need to change the equality operator to 👉👈

Taco Bell is far from being ethnically offensive, because it is far from being representative of Mexican food.

You’re right, Taco Bell is way better.

(just kidding pls no hate)

I just threaten to make them into a stew every time they claw my furniture. It doesn’t stop them, but it makes me feel better about it 😂

It’s diminishing returns. Reddit benefits more from the traffic in this scenario than the Fediverse ever could in terms of user gain from this kind of advertisement.

I totally get your perspective too. I just feel like at this point we’re dealing with diminishing returns. Anybody who really cares about finding an alternative has already migrated. I feel like giving Reddit ANY traffic at this point benefits them more than it hurts them.

… which is exactly why we should give it zero attention or traffic. They’re using this as a pathetic attempt to bolster their traffic ahead of the IPO so they can point to this and say “HEY LOOK HOW AMAZING OUR TRAFFIC IS!!! Think of the potential ad revenue!”

So you had at least enough desire to read anti-Reddit news which lead you to the alternative? That just proves my point…

Anybody who gives the slightest fuck about finding an alternative is already aware of kbin/Lemmy. By trying to “advertise”, you’re only opening up the platform to brigading. Anybody who actually cares has already made the switch.

Oh, and on top of that, you’re giving Reddit additional traffic, which is exactly what they want right now. Just leave it alone!!

Legitimately the best advice in this thread. Speaking from experience.

We had pretty mild cases, but yeah I remember it working quite well! I wouldn’t recommend it without speaking to a professional first since your kids’ cases are quite severe, but I’ve had good experiences with it.

When my siblings and I were young we would occasionally get eczema flair ups on our hands. Whenever this happened my mom would fill a sock with Vaseline and have us wear it on our hands to bed. Kinda funny.

Hey fair enough man!

That’s a bummer! For me it’s Narcolepsy, and because the only medication that works for me also disqualifies me, exemption isn’t an option for me.

MSFS really is awesome! The level of detail with the planes blew my mind. Come to think of it, I haven’t tried playing it again since I upgraded my PC. I should give it a shot!

What kind of setup do you have for MSFS?

Oh I completely agree. Funny enough, I never intended to do it as a career. I always wanted to be a pilot. But unfortunately the FAA considers me “medically unfit”, so I had to go with my backup plan.

For video games I’m all over the place lol. I’m a huge fan of 2D platformers, so Spelunky 2 and Hollow Knight are pretty high up on my list. I’ve played a ton of OSRS over the years, but I’ve been taking a hiatus for the last few years. I imagine I’ll start playing again eventually! Besides that, some of my other favorites are Factorio, Terraria, Dark Souls/Elden Ring, and Divinity Original Sin 2. There’s just too many to even name haha.

For music I’m a metal fan, specifically progressive metal. But I really enjoy electronic, rap, and classical as well.

How about you?

I love video games, board games, music, and traveling. I used to love programming too, but working as a software dev for as long as I have has kind of killed that passion 😅

Life is great! I feel very fortunate to not have a lot of stressors in my life. I hope that’s more common than it seems these days!

Do you live somewhere where it goes below freezing regularly during winter?

Edit: to expand on that, it’s not the temperatures that bother me during the winter. It’s the extremely unsafe road conditions.
