i also largely don’t mind crowds if it’s people i’m not expected to interact with, however loud groups or people bumping up against me makes me fucking rage. sometimes if i need extra space i’ll spin my backpack around and wear it on my front.

while it’s cool that mastodon, kbin and lemmy can all talk to one another, the format of mastodon just doesn’t play nice with kbin and lemmy. if it works for you, that’s cool, but i’d recommend separate accounts for microblogging and thread-style social media

i haven’t watched the whole show but tbh i get the feeling a lot of people didn’t believe walt but didn’t want to seem impolite when approaching the situation

modern day version of an antimony pill lmao

huh, you’re right. i’d assumed it was related to the verb ‘leer’ meaning ‘leery’ would mean intimidating or perverted.

i remember watching a documentary on… something, idk and a woman described herself as ‘leery’ around a suspicious character. i’m near certain it was a true crime doc and don’t want to make fun because of that but the transformation of wary > weary > leery really is something

i switched to thunder after connect kept crashing whenever i tried to open it. so far it seems alright but i can’t see any way to vote on comments.

i’m completely neutral. in a retail environment i’m really not sure whether i’d even notice, especially if it’s already a hot day. you might get a lot of stupid questions from people who don’t like anything outside of their norm though

yeah i feel so much more motivated to contribute to new communities that i’d like to see grow and thrive

I quite like Dank Pods’ Cash Converter videos to feel like I’m browsing around with him and laughing at the bizarre things he finds.

i’m an absolute cola addict and unfortunately nothing else scratches the same itch for me. i am a fan of iced tea though

There’s a cars pope which means there is at the very least belief in a cars Jesus and by extension all other Abrahamic religions are represented in the cars universe

pretty much exactly what it sounds like. people would browse wikipedia and post the creepiest pages they found. like, for example, the aztec death whistle.

fair enough, for mastodon i just use the stock mastodon app from the play store. for what i use it for, casual browsing and boosting posts, it works perfectly well.

i hhhhhhaaaaaate corporate speak. it’s the biggest reason i fuck up at interviews. just say what you mean.

any variation of ‘i’m at the soup store’ always kills me

i joined reddit in 2015 when the site was already heaving with content and users. good for killing time and consuming, but not for engaging in the community. right now lemmy/kbin is in the sweet spot where there’s enough people to talk to but not so many that i can’t be heard.

personally i’m missing all the horror content. there’s a nosleep replacement here that’s gaining traction but stuff like /r/wtf, /r/oddlyterrifying, /r/creepywikipedia etc are sorely missed right now

based on a recommendation from here, I use connect for lemmy. I find it much more stable than jerboa

I had an 8 year old account on reddit (deleted today) and had accumulated a decent amount of karma. that being said I didn’t even notice there wasn’t any karma here. the voting system is nice to see which comments are popular but there’s no need for it sitewide.
