I feel you, but Mastodon has about 9 million users and BlueSky has 15 million (if the first results from a search index are to be trusted), but I could not find anywhere even close to 60% of the people in this hobby on Mastodon as I have on BlueSky.

There was a very concentrated push recently of artists (I think it was artists originally) to go to BlueSky and it’s sort of echoed into similarish hobbies. So that’s probably why the user makeup is a little different.

Firecracker and it’s not even close. I’ve put ice cubes up there before and it wasn’t nearly as bad as you’d imagine. The shape of it will make it easy. Plus, the ridges on it mean you’ll have less ice in contact with your skin. At some point it melts and it’s just a Popsicle stick.

I’m on Lemmy essentially 99% of the time. When I’m on Reddit it’s because of niche hobbies that have more presence there. It’s very rare. (Or search index results.)

I never use Mastodon. I was only on Twitter for very niche and interactive hobbies that do not have enough people to engage with on Mastodon. I mostly use BlueSky now but still use Twitter on occasion. It’s like 50/50 at the moment, but that’s a lot considering my BlueSky account is only like two weeks old.

Lemmy has enough content to keep me entertained for general browsing and most of my hobbies.

I’m pretty sure you get warnings trying to delete system32.

Edit: And I mean beyond the standard UAC pop-up.

True crime means what it says. It’s crime that happened as opposed to fictional crime. In this context it usually means things like podcasts about true crime. It’s only different in that it’s a larger umbrella than just documentaries.

Edit: Fix contradictory typo

It’s bullshit because every location prints their own price tags lol.

How is that “weird”? That’s just good numeracy.

I think I’ve heard a couple people do this. One directly in response to me saying it was $5 lol.

Don’t even get me started on planking.

Not enough people on Mastodon are into the things I was using Twitter/use BlueSky for.

For me there weren’t enough people on Mastodon in my hobby to make it worthwhile.

I use(d) Twitter for niche interactive hobbies that didn’t have enough people on Mastodon to engage with.

I’d have to grab the pic we both shared, but yes, it would’ve been a logical conclusion from it. But it was just so weird and passive aggressive to just text that to your daughter in that manner.

My wife and I both posted images on Facebook about how we don’t feel safe around people who voted Trump and don’t consider them friends. Not even really decided if we’d say anything to family yet. Their parents sent them a message basically saying “so logically you don’t consider us friends or feel safe around us.” So that was the last straw. We aren’t going.

Yumyumyum

Some professors are just so wack… Like, if I copy your notes verbatim I’m also “stealing” your intellectual property just as much as taking a photo.

Oh, I think you know… 📐

STOP! YOU’VE VIOLATED THE LAW!

Compare this to one of my college professors who would come in, Google the topic, find another universities notes to use, and then complain about them. Worst teacher ever. (He literally fell asleep during students’ presentations and then berated them about weird minute details.)

Wasn’t it like Napster in that originally it was for pirating text books?
