I wear Fruit of the Loom hipsters (I’m a woman).

Personally I like them bc while the waistband has elastic in it and has stretch, it’s not literally an elastic waistband like some underwear.

The material is really soft and comfortable to wear all day long.

I still have “other” undies for special occasions, but day to day I’ll rock the hell out of some Fruit of the Loom granny panties. I’m married and my husband doesn’t care what he pulls off me, so I’d rather be comfortable lol

Either Cash Cab or Deal or No Deal

I love watching Cash Cab and trying to guess the answers, and I have a DoND app on my phone and I’m not too shabby lol

As someone who smoked Camels for years and is now just as addicted to vaping, there are no benefits. Zero.

When I smoked cigs, I stank constantly. Even if I sprayed perfume or had a mint. My fingers always smelled.

I did 12 straight years of choir, but now I have a much smaller vocal range. I’m not as active because I get winded. Now that I vape and have constant access, I get cranky after like 30 minutes of no nicotine.

My blood pressure is higher. I can’t be on the type of birth control that gives me less side effects because my smoking makes it higher risk.

I’m raising my risk of cancer. I’m spending a fuckton of money on flavored air.

There is literally no positive and I wish I had never touched it.

I’m non tech.

I just work as essentially an administrative assistant in a real estate-esque office making $20 an hour.

Just a married woman in her 20s who is sick of Reddit’s shit.

There are actually 3 lol

Absolutely agree.

Memmy is now in the same revered spot that Apollo was, and I feel like all the constant updates and finding new communities has been so exciting that it eases the pain of losing apollo

What you describe as the “issue” is the entire point of lemmy and decentralizing and all that.

once lemmy starts dictating “oh you have to change things in this community in this instance to match this instance” and “everything has to follow one master set of rules” they become reddit.

honestly the best way to solve your issue would just be multireddits, if you wanna see content from both communities just add it to a multilem or whatever they end up calling it.

better than supporting reddit

i would rather deal with a few incredibly minor inconveniences

tbh i have a roof over my head and food in my mouth, so i haven’t really thought about the number of swipes i have to make in an app, it just isn’t that important

i’m more happy that i have a beautiful client to browse an alternative to reddit

i’ll sit here happily and patiently while the devs carve out their path lol

first was an ipod touch, when i was in middle school i think?

favorite so far has probably been just my iphone, i started with a 5 and now im on a 12 pro max with about 6 months until i can upgrade

i’ve loved the evolution of ios, and doing the betas and seeing how far it’s come i still remember when the first iphone came out when i was in like 6th grade and my friend got one, and we thought the most simple shit was the coolest most futuristic thing we had ever seen

i really do love my macbook pro though. can’t say it’s my favorite cause i’ve had an iphone so much longer and i have my whole life on there, but using windows my whole life, then trying a chromebook during my Pixel 3 phase, and then finally getting a macbook has been wonderful

Thank you

I’m getting tired of seeing those comments, it’s giving a little bit of condescension, and tbh I don’t want to see lemmy communities just turn into subreddits with a list of 30 strict rules you have to check your post against before submitting

It’s so unbelievably easy to just scroll past, I truly don’t understand people who don’t want to see it and could just scroll, but instead expend the energy to open the post and type out a comment instead

I know this technically isn’t the right community, but is it hurting anyone? Could we view it as an opportunity to help someone today? Idk people are so into their own little world.

I do, but not nearly as much as Lemmy.

I used to go to reddit for everything. To scroll aimlessly, just to look at aesthetic photos, to read stories…I even had a multi reddit for text based subs, and a third party app on my watch so I could read text based reddit posts at work.

Now, I only go to reddit if i need the resources of a specific sub (earlier i had a question about an app so i went to their sub to browse and see if there was any advice) or if i’m cross posting content to lemmy to get my communities going.

when i just want to scroll and see what’s new, ive been coming straight to lemmy every time.

i’m really trying to interact more too.

ok i thought i was going crazy, that’s the most frustrating thing

i only ever use regular search and image search

if i want shopping results i’ll look at walmart or amazon

if i want video results im just searching right on youtube

i don’t need a million different tabs

Personally I don’t like it because 1, it’s redundant when the post is already greyed out, and 2, it draws MORE attention to read posts.

Your eyes are naturally drawn there because it’s brighter and looks like a notification, then you realize the post is grey.

Without it, it’s simpler. Read posts are dim, unread posts are bright.

Right now, its unread posts are bright and read posts are dim with a bright icon. Everything has something bright so nothing looks different.

Kinda high so I hope I explained that without sounding stupid

Also Meta wants to join the fediverse with Threads.

A lot of it is just people talking about their social media ex, but it IS part of a larger discussion about taking the internet back from corporations.
