  • Sync going away – and now coming here, yay! If they’re giving their users the finger, and there’s a reasonable alternative, why would I stay? I was mainly there for the communities related to my interests (their size, not their mere existence), and those are present here and elsewhere in a growing capacity.

    I did like AskReddit, though, and I’m not sure if Lemmy will ever get anything like that…





  • Oh man, this is relatable.

    If I’m visiting my parents, my mom insists on “visiting” – that is, either sitting and talking endlessly, playing boardgames, watching a movie together, or going out to do something. She has complained about us being unsociable for sitting and reading for an hour or two after spending the whole day doing things she wants.

    My in-laws, on the other hand… don’t. There is absolutely no pressure to do anything. They are just happy to have us there, regardless of what we choose to do (or not do). Speaking from 13 years of experience with them: it’s awesome.




    • Young Frankenstein

    • The Princess Bride

    • Blazing Saddles

    • The Matrix

    • The Shawshank Redemption

    It’s a toss-up on a couple of those. The Blues Brothers could easily make the list, as could Pulp Fiction, Terminator 2, Alien, Interstellar, and I’m sure there are many others. I will abandon what I’m doing to watch any one of these, if they come on, probably 90% of the time.
