I'll try lemmy.ca.

Here's an example of what I can't get to load: https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/56669296-5bcd-49f3-95e3-cab029fab284.jpeg

Thanks. I will check the list of deFederated communities over on beehaw. Maybe joining you on ca soon.

Yep, same here. I love my futon in my twenties. In my thirties I had to go with tempurpedic.

My partner owns a boat. It has more spiders than any place I've ever been.

Back in the 1980s, this used to be referred to as "the Myth of the Benevolent Corporation."

I agree with you. In my case, I waited until a person I had wronged 30 years before reached out to me on facebook. Her contact gave me the opening to apologize. She claimed to have forgotten the incident, but I don't think that was true (for complicated reasons). But she accepted my apology.

We became close again for a while, but then she quit returning my calls and I let her be. At least I got to make my peace.

The olden days of the 1950s and even 1960s.

Back in the olden days of television, a very thin film of Vaseline on the lens softened the wrinkles of anyone on air.

Hundreds of thousands of Holocaust victims were posthumously "converted" to the LDS cult.

I just want to cosign on this. I found out that I have Lynch syndrome, which carries an 80% chance of colon cancer and 60% likelihood of endometrial cancer. I thought I was prepared to hear that I had it, but I wasn't. When I heard my test was positive, I freaked out. I was really glad to have a licensed genetics counselor deliver the news and talk with me in the following weeks and months as I adjusted.

All this, plus the UI is outdated. It looks like it's from the 1990s.

For a minute I thought you were one of my nieces. My father did the same thing about catholicism. 🙄
