I thought your UN looked familiar.

I left for the same reasons. Their native app is shit. They got bought out and took private. I have a dental problem with authority - back me into a corner by taking away my choices and you get brick.

I used to reddit a lot in 2011-2013 but set it down then just lurked periodically. I found out where everyone else was going and here I am. A bit of a learning curve to get set up but now I’m happy and this place feels like reddit (but friendlier) before it started sucking

out of all the comments in this thread, yours is probably the best thought out. I’ll admit, I’m very much in line with OP, in that the more someone hypes something up, the less I want to do with it. I get increasingly skeptical, and that gets seriously compounded when I see C-suites give nebulous answers on how things will improve with a new invention.

I think it’ll find its niche, but right now, the fucking thing can barely do math, and is at best, a learned pig. There’s really big barriers to making AI actually useful, such as the scalability and energy/water requirements. Until we can get elegant coding and inputs, we’re going to struggle.

I think your admin can appoint you

I also got a microscope around this age - now I’m an environmental scientist

Another good one would be an easier STEMmy puzzle. I had one that was a bunch of shapes that had to fit together into its small case. Kinda of Tetris like.

IIRC weren’t you a power user or whatever too? Been a loooong time since I was on reddit

And Ghost is just spooky ABBA

Lol. I had these guys beat in terms of hours, and their job was nowhere near as physical as mine was.

Now I get to be a desk jockey, and it’s fucking sweet. Gonna milk it, because I put my hours in.

The first statement implies that fascists are deserving of equal rights as everyone else. This don’t the case, though, because what they want is the destruction of other people’s rights.

Fascists don’t play by the rules, because they don’t think they apply to them or they are inconvenient. If they rules don’t apply to you then they don’t apply to you. Can’t have it both ways.

TV software is fucking abysmal. Its laggy, full of bloat and as you point out, their wifi capabilities are shit. I even have the connection/speed issue right now with one of my older TVs.

I fail to see how sharing memes is a bad thing. Lemmy is a great community, its leagues better than what Reddit was, even in its heyday, and certainly better than the shit-buffet it has become.

While OC is great, it’s really tough to make, especially at the frequency needed to provide new content and keep people interested. Further, 90% (or something) of people on here lurk, with the remaining 10% split between commentators and posters.

Don’t like it? Vote with your feet.

Wheel of time movies or TV show THE RIGHT FUCKING WAY

What’s the mecca thing? I don’t remember that one

I’ll give it a whirl. I don’t find I have any difficulty picking up stuff though

Idk why you’re getting downvoted. Have an updog. Nothing you said is downvote worthy; banal, maybe, but then that’s 97% of internet comments

@silence7@slrpnk.net and @MicroWave@lemmy.world both post a shitpile of news articles.

My dear, sweet @fossilesque@mander.xyz posts so many science memes it makes my head spin

Thanks!

Makes it make a lot more sense. Hot take, but you shouldn’t be downvoted for it

Solid meme, but I don’t quite get it

Take a soil science or agronomy degree. There are tons of old pedologists retiring.
