Just got the invite. Thank you!

Hmm. I never got that mail.

I’d appreciate an invite! https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198269504612/

I like to think so. I put a lot of effort into trying to be someone I would want to be friends with, and there are times I slip up of course, but generally I think of myself as someone who is nice.

I prefer spoon bombs, thanks.

+1 for Kagi. I don’t mind paying for things that have value.

Thank you very much for the recommendations!

The rest of Gen Z can speak for themselves.

Idk if they ever said why they were doing it, but they canned it about a month ago.

I’m still incredibly angry at Disney+ for gutting watch together. I have a Plex server that I use quite a bit that I suppose will be getting even more usage now.

What is vinegar and baking soda?

Mine was the chubby Pikachu that had the purple accents!

Username generator

I’m on lemmy.world.

I joined while lemmy.ml was still the biggest instance. While I was picking an instance, I read that people should consider joining the smaller instances instead of lemmy.ml. I think the idea was to promote horizontal growth across lemmy instead of vertical growth on one instance. I picked lemmy.world because I liked the instance admin running it, and I wanted to help spread out the user base.

Didn’t realize that lemmy.world would quickly become the biggest instance and encounter all the growing pains of rapid growth, but I still stick with this instance to be a part of identifying what those growing pains are so they can hopefully be fixed and grow Lemmy into a more mature platform that is capable of scaling up.

Did you go to school somewhere in the Midwestern US? Everyone I know who has even heard of euchre is from there (mostly Indiana).

I love Libby! I wish my local library had more copies of books I want to listen to though.

I wouldn’t mind $5 if that tier didn’t also cap the number of searches to 250. I’d burn through that super quick, and $25 for unlimited is way too much IMO.

I’m a software engineer on a team that is known around the org to have the worst on-call load out of anyone else. You are definitely underappreciated if your work saves them lots of time!

I have a similar experience with my extended family that I only see once a year during the holidays. They usually gave me cheap gifts that I had no use for, and I always had to pretend to be grateful for them. I’ve said for years that I’d rather just get nothing at all than the gifts that were obviously just given to me for the sake of giving me something.

I joined lemmy.world because when I first signed up it was still quite a bit smaller than lemmy.ml. I heard that new users should try to make lemmy grow horizontally by joining other instances. I guess joining world wasn’t the best choice for achieving that in retrospect 🙂
