If there is a rule written down somewhere, then follow those rules if they want.

The DNC is a private organization, they can do whatever they want for whatever reason they want.

It probably wouldn't make everyone happy if they skipped steps in their normal procedures, but I say "When has the DNC ever cared about making everyone happy?" It's a big tent with a foundation of begrudging compromise. Some people will be upset, but they have months to get over it.

Connect for Lemmy on my Android phone has worked great! The interface is almost, but not quite, 1:1 with RIF.

It was pretty buggy at launch, but here we are about a year out, and I'm not sure if I remember the what/when the last bug I encountered was. That is to say, the devs for connect are on top of stuff with regular updates which is nice.

I'm not advocating for it, but like, if they are dead they can't really speak up about their opinions. Again, not condoning murder, but just thinking through the logic on this.

I'm glad that the server team is experimenting and trying new things out. This looks really cool for someone!

I just really hope this isn't a preamble to becoming the new default theme, because I really dislike this. It reminds me of other social media services that I go out of my way to avoid.

I particularly dislike the infinitely scrolling dark pattern, but I also don't like that it displays all content immediately, wasting bandwidth, making it difficult to see headlines, and more difficult to ignore previously seen content.

I love watching your cursor zoom around the window. Is that a feature of Neovide or something else that you have configured?

I'm sorry, I didn't realize that you were just trolling. Next time, just save everyone some time and post to some shitposting community.

Keep trying! You can do it, it just takes time and it very likely won't click in an evening.

Practice that change super slow going from a G chord to a D chord. Four strums on each chord, taking as much time as you need to make them sound as good as you can. It will sound bad for a little while, but eventually, you will do it perfectly, and you will do it perfectly again and again and again until doing it wrong is more difficult than doing it well.

Keep at it, you will do it!

That's right! It's close to being a whole food, but it's just a bit off.

Toxoplasma Gondii - a parasite bred through cat poop. It is extremely common, easily spread through undercooked food (especially meat). It can affect your mental state to engage in riskier and more self destructive behaviors. Testing for Toxoplasma Gondii is not standard, but it is believed that 10-15% of the US population is infected with the parasite at any given time.

I took a measure from a friend's house in east Tennessee the other day. 40-some percent humidity (really good!), but 88F in the shade, 93F in direct sun, and 116F when standing over blacktop.

I've only made it to season 2, so I'm holding out hope that it gets better, but lazily progressive seems to describe it pretty well.

The one that really rubs me rough it how Tilly is very clearly coded to be some type of neuro divergent, probably autistic, but also only when it is convenient and quirky and will not interfere with the plot too much.

Her suddenly being very socially adept when the plot needed her to pretend to be an evil commander or whatever, and she dropped all of her character flaws to make it happen just felt so out of character and lazy.

Also the scenes with Spock and "child abuse bad" at the start of the red angel arc was very ham fisted.

I much preferred how SNW handled the "our wonderful society is supported by horrible child labor and death" arc. Still about as subtle as a brick, but it at least felt like an attempt was made to encode a message, and not just saying it at the viewer like a pre-school cartoon recapping the message of the episode.

The song "1985" was released in 2004. At that time, the song was reminiscing about a time that was 19 years ago. Now, in 2024, the year 2004 is 20 years ago. Therefore, the release year of the song "1985" is closer to the year 1985, than the current year is to the year the song "1985" was released (2004).
