Why create new news community? I'm tired of getting banned by crazy lemmy moderators under made up reasons for posting news articles (likely reddit subversive operation).
Also most of news communities are empty - this one will be full of content.
So i'm now creating my own community. everyone welcome, let's tear reddit down together.

Nah it's totally normal for someone his age to sleep through a lot. When my old gramps was his age, he would come to our house to visit. We'd have dinner and after sit on the couch. We would chat, watch some TV, someone would play a videogame and the rest would watch. Every time my gramps got up around the same time, tell us he had a wonderful evening and went home. The thing is, about 1 min after we'd sit down on the couch gramps would fall asleep. Quietly snoring in the corner all evening. But he kept coming back every week, so he must have had a good time.

It's kind of adorable really, and the reason why I'm glad gramps wasn't the fucking President of the United States! Put your elders in the old folk home guys, don't elect them to any political posting.

your gramps sounds lovely, i'm also happy he's not being called on to lead the nation
