Pretty sure that’s her old account, new one is u/xyzaly (also goes by both zipos and zipoz on OF if that’s your thing)

I had no idea they were so expensive! This is rather eye-opening, and it definitely gives new perspective to some of the points I made. Thank you for the insight.

I can see how you might reach that conclusion, but consider this: do you feel it is correct to bring a life into the world knowing that you can’t afford to provide for them? To me, that’s placing an unnecessary burden on both your family and society.

Though with that being said, someone else mentioned that reversals are ~$10,000, which is obscenely expensive and way more than I thought it would be, so the current cost of them does make it seem like I’m saying “only the rich should have children”, even when I’m not.

This is the first time I’ve ever seen positive sentiment for Google+ online.

I come from early YouTube where it was forced upon us from above, so I’m genuinely curious as to what positives you see in it.

I went full Firefox a few weeks ago. It’s been mostly fine but there are a few weird hitches that Chromium-based browsers just don’t have. So because of that I currently think Brave is a good recommendation for most people.

Adding the word “scientific” to your point doesn’t make it more believable.

In fact, it detracts from your point by making you sound like you don’t know how to use the word.

It’s engagement farming.

Notice how they’re all questions? The way this works on other social media is you ask something in a community that most people will have an opinion on, but frame it opposite to that opinion (e.g. the tiny tits question), and that will give you a bunch of engagement through comments which tells the algorithm the post is more interesting so it pushes the post higher to raise visibility to keep people on the site longer to view more ads.

The thing is, Lemmy does not have an algorithm like that, so it’s pointless to do here.

Something I like that’s unconventional yet not really taboo is pregnancy.

I like the idea of having had sex with a pretty girl and then doing it again when she’s carrying my child. I’m not sure exactly why, but I suppose it’s something built into people naturally? The pregnant physique is just very appealing to me, yet a similar physique from overeating is something I don’t like at all. It’s very strange.

I’m similar in that I’ve found annoying problems with each app. I’ve settled on Liftoff for browsing and Voyager for posting, but when Boost for Lemmy comes out I won’t look back.

I also have another few bugs for the Liftoff list:

• Scrolling upwards through posts often jumps up by about half the screen height. Very jarring.
• Switching out to another app and coming back causes you to lose a partially written comment, or lose your place in the comments.

Oh yeah, I see what you mean now :/

Looks alright to me. Which part would you say is botched?

Fucking hell. Absolutely stellar.

To me, that comes across as quite dismissive. Almost like you’re saying “I acknowledge that you’ve posted something” but then saying nothing about the content of the post. It’s far too generic.
