WhatsApp is more problematic to leave though. Where I live, it's the default messaging app everyone uses. I haven't texted anyone in ages. And I can also see why it's the default, WhatsApp is just better than the competition. It's end-to-end encrypted, so Meta cannot read your messages directly, it has good markdown-like formatting support, it's has a lot of features, and it's relatively stable.

I've been using Telegram and Signal with friends, but honestly Telegram doesn't exactly feel safer to me, especially with e2e encryption not enabled by default (last time I checked). And Signal is better, but sometimes just a pain to use. No Markdown-like syntax (though formatting is finally possible via GUI), it constantly keeps desyncing devices that I use once every few weeks, and we've had plenty of bugs with not seeing messages of eachother.

Now, I can accept that to a degree, in return for better privacy. But no way in hell are laypeople like my family going to switch. WhatsApp is too good and safe enough to remain dominant.

I'm curious how one province got the "Femboy Besties" game assigned lol

You can't expect the world to accommodate for everything you struggle with. These memes are doing nothing unreasonable to the average person, people seem to be enjoying them. If you are getting triggered this badly by something so benign then you're going to have to solve it yourself. If we would block every meme that triggers somebody on the world, I'm afraid there wouldn't be many left.

I haven't even watched She-Ra, but I'm still enjoying all these memes.

I've been there for 10+ years. I'm gone now. Haven't opened Reddit to browse it since Baconreader stopped working. Every now and then I am directed there for answers to my questions, but that's the only thing I use it for now. Lemmy doesn't fully replace it, but maybe it was time to let that braindead browsing addiction die off anyway.

Max is just so good. I wonder if anyone could beat him right now even in equal machinery. I mean, Perez isn't a generational talent, but he isn't bad either. Max just casually pulling a 20s gap on him in the same car and tires is insane. And before that Max did the same with Albon and Gasly, who are also very respectable drivers.

I'm having a hard time believing that to be honest. As far as I'm aware this year is above average due to El Niño. While the trend is definitely horrifying, there's reason to expect the La Niña years to be a bit colder again afaik. What this year does provide is a bleak look into the not so distant future where this is the norm, not the exception.

Shelob is a girlboss and Eowyn is definitely a girlboss

Nope, I'm European so I've never heard of it tbh. I like pizza, so I wouldn't mind trying if I ever end up ip in the area somehow

Damn I just woke up from a midday nap, wondering what year it is. Very relatable meme

Also Rocket League. I've got like 2K hours and managed to get to Grand Champion (1) once, but usually hang around in Champ 2 or 3. In a way I just play like a very consistent Diamond player though. I can semi-reliably wavedash, sometimes manage to hit a half flip, and can't do any flip resets, musty flicks, etc. I solely rely on positioning, shooting at the right time, fast aerials, bumping, and boost stealing.

Sheesh that sounds like hell. I hope the pain subsides soon for you.
