I hate how everything has to be monetized nowadays, or how money is to be expected for everything. Eventually people who provide free service or altruism will be seen as competition.

This is literally an act of terrorism

That’s true… Because biologically as men, we want to believe in them. We inherently cut them more slack.

Women in every professional position: Are you sure about that?

I mean when a woman has hobbies or interests men would think it is impossible for her to have those 😂

Wow so even when you pay, you still end up a product. Sigh.

Now let's see what new conspiracy the right-wingers will make about this

What are some mundane goals you can recommend to someone trying to improve their fitness? For example, after watching a video while sitting down on the floor with my knees bent, I realised I could stand up without using my hands or resting my leg on the floor. It's indicative of core strength, right? I often do push-ups. So what else are some day-to-day actions that should become easier when improving fitness and what exercises can you do achieve them?

Like the old days, man

At this point I'd rather buy a super outdated smartphone. They're small enough for my hands and pockets, dirt cheap and still functional, and most of the good games left on Android are only available on those old versions.

Haven't logged in on Reddit for a while. It feels good not to doomscroll for hours a day. Lemmy is less addicting and less time-wasting and actually has valuable comments whereas Reddit's comment section is mostly pure garbage that I feel compelled to upvote (probably my compulsive tendencies though). But I still use Reddit to search up stuff, however on Old Reddit I think they added a feature where they put recommended posts IN THE COMMENT SECTION and you have to scroll for a while to access the other comments. Idk if that's new or it's something I just noticed but that's such an asshole design.

Holy shit? Do you have a source for that because damn. It's something I would expect though.

Not referring to lucid dreaming, which is simply controlling your dream. I'd like to know how to control what I dream the next night, regardless if it ends up as a lucid dream.

I remember reading a portion of a book then dreaming about it the day later. I am also aware of the "shifting" community (though they want to go to an entire alternate universe) in which they script throughout the day and sometimes get dreams related to it. Is there an actual practice for this sort of thing? Or is this something that happens only randomly?

It's no longer just a Reddit alternative for me. Lemmy is Lemmy, and I like it. I'm still waiting for the 3rd party apps of Kbin though.

I've heard of this concept multiple times throughout my time on the internet, but I never understood what causes a "server load". Now that I'm in one of the biggest instances on Lemmy, this is one of the significant issues that we face. So what is a "server load", why does it slow down websites instead of stopping them? Does the load on a server increase by the amount of information in it, the browsing of information, or both? Does upvoting and downvoting cause a load too? Does saving posts and comments to your profile also cause a server load?

Lmao I saw a 5 star review that said the official app was "better than any 3rd party app", that it had "non-intrusive ads", and asking for an ads toggle for premium users to be able to support reddit. I can't even tell if it's some sort of elaborate sarcasm. Wild.
