Voted in my primary this week.

I rarely see any third party in the ballot, and most seem to be some form of Republican but worse.

I don’t know if I could vote for an anti-capitalist in the near future in the system we have now. We aren’t really set up to give a third party capitalist a fair shot, let alone an anti-capitalist. It is near impossible to even form a union and has so far been impossible to gain universal healthcare, so electing an anti-capitalist is going to be harder than that.

If it were a primary and I was fine with the leading Democratic candidate, then I’d be fine showing support for a more radical party if I shared their beliefs.

It sounds like a quick override for whatever your default settings are.

If anything at this point, Summit has so many features I’ve lost track.

Summit has anonymous mode and offline mode.

I haven’t used offline mode myself, so I can’t say what all it does exactly, I just remember when it got added.

Summit is amazing, and I think the dev is half on a break now, but they have been lightning quick about adding user requests.

Perhaps not exactly what you are looking for, but Stephen King’s short story “Survivor Type” was written after he got fascinated by this train of thought. He consulted with a doctor friend to see how much he felt a shipwrecked surgeon could use of himself to survive on until rescue.

Hesitant to write anything down, King gained the assurance for the story after speaking with his neighbor, Ralph Drews, a retired doctor who confirmed that “a guy could subsist on himself for quite a while - like everything else which is material, the human body is just stored energy.”

I remember it being pretty good, and is supposedly one of King’s favorites. That’s the first thing that popped in my head after reading your question.

I think of Old Money in the sense of stuff that isn’t showy, but when you handle the items or see them up close, you know instantly they are premium items.

Clothes are the classic example. They don’t have gaudy logos or anything like that to call attention to them. But they’re stuff that you could hand down. Real quality wool, cashmere, the buttons themselves are premium, that kind of thing.

Cars again are more upscale touring types, not sports cars. The richest guy I’ve known drove a Hyundai Santa Fe. He spent his money on houses and fancy travel and his car was just for getting around.

New money is the showy and usually overpriced stuff covered in logos.

Simplest way to think of it is New Money is for newly rich people that feel the need to wave it around they’ve made it big. Old Money knows blowing it to impress people is stupid. You buy stuff that enhances your life and pampers you.

We live in a relatively low cost of living area and make decent money. We could pull off New Money if either of us cared about that. We cannot afford anything I’d consider Old Money. That’s a whole different world.

Sounds delicious! I like things with the rose or orange water, they’re so unique.

I don’t have any cool Iranian music or recipes, but I shared some cute Iranian owls recently!

I love SeriesGuide for tv and movies. It shows upcoming episodes, so when a series comes back after a long break, I know a few weeks in advanced it’s coming back. Has some good categories for finding new movies as well. Being linked to trakt and IMDB to get reviews or actor info is helpful as well. Great frontend for trakt.

For anime and manga I use MyAnimeList and Anilist through Aniyomi. It auto updates the episode/chapter as you go now.

I’m glad! I used to wish the name would have been left behind with Reddit, but I can’t say it hasn’t helped the community grow here and it still makes people happy to see the joke, so that makes me happy. I feel we are our own distinct group here, we just happen to share a name.

Usefulness is no fun. Those 80s and 90s attitudes wouldn’t worry about something like that. We’d have done it just show off and/or to keep the Soviets from doing it first. Don’t tell us we have rocks at home, I want space rocks. I want a bucket full of ice from the rings of Saturn. I want a slab of something that got melted by Venus. That stuff is cool.

I hope they do something fun with Artemis. It doesn’t feel like most people are excited for space anymore and that bums me out.

For All Mankind is coming back in a few days, so that will have to do for now.

Hah, don’t worry, it’s not a contest 😉

Lemmy is the thing I didn’t realize I’ve missed so much since the pre-Myspace days. I’m so happy to have something like this again after so long, I just don’t want to waste the opportunity.

It’s a fairly clean slate. We’re establishing a new place for people but interested in corporate social media.

When people settle new territory, there’s nothing there. Everything you want, you either need to build it yourself or wait for someone else to get around to it when they have a chance. If you aren’t going to be a producer, you’re going to find slim pickings.

I came here expecting a little more than what is even here 3 years later. But I liked the tightness of the community and that when I posted something, it wasn’t instantly drowned out by a hundred other comments.

Superbowl was dead after the first couple of months, and I had really enjoyed it on Reddit and didn’t want it to die here. I started posting what photos I had from previous travels, and when I ran out, I looked for places in all 50 states where people could see owls in person. Then I started doing daily research. Eventually that wasn’t enough, and now I volunteer working with wild animals, including my beloved raptors.

Every day I enjoy talking to my fellow lemmings. I get enough comments and do enough posts to keep me occupied. There are some users I really love and I can remember personal details about them, and I notice when they aren’t around for a bit or I think about them if they’re going through personal stuff. I enjoy working at the animal rehab where I get hands on with amazing animals and work with some of the best folks anywhere.

If I would have sat there and let everyone else do the work, I would have given up here long ago. But I looked for a niche to make my own, and now people look forward to my posts and I look forward to their reactions. And developing that relationship helped me find something in my office life that I love and enjoy more than anything I’ve ever done before.

You’re barely a number at Reddit. Here you can be anything, it’s not like there’s much competition.

When I was a kid in the 80s I thought we’d absolutely have some kind of moon base by now. More space stuff in general. What is more “future” than space?

Green energy is maybe 10 years behind where younger me would have wished it to be, it feels we’re close to some big breakthroughs. I’m still hopefully to see some game changing things in my lifetime.

Nice! Glad I was able to help.

I’m not gay myself, so I wasn’t quite sure of some of your descriptors, but for a gay-bro music video night, I felt this would have to at least check some of the boxes.

My best friend’s ex-bf was Ukrainian and he showed me music videos for Kazaky. Seemed very gay and the music was cool (synthpop/EDM) and the videos, outfits and dancing seemed really good to me. It made me think of if Lady Gaga did a collar with Rammstein.

Most likely that will have been one of mine. The Blakistons Fish Owl. It lives in Siberia and Hokkaido.

I just found a book of Ainu folk tales called The Song the Owl God Sang and the first story is about the god that inhabits that owl in their beliefs. They have quite the pantheon, but their 3 main gods are the bear, the wolf, and that big chonky owl. Neat stuff!

That fish owl is difficult to find photos of, so it’s always extra special when I come across them. I need to get the book Owls of the Eastern Ice next. It is all about a guy’s 5 year adventure with them.

I’m glad you found something you enjoyed. I try to find things that should impress anyone, and the owls always deliver!

I’ve been pleasantly surprised with Lemmy, honestly. We make jokes and share the occasional funny picture in the comments, but it’s never really been the focus of the content.

I’m the main poster, though not a mod, for SuperbOwl and we’ve grown well without watering down the content. I try to stick to mostly educational, yet fun things, but I summarized a research paper this week on how levels of street traffic affects the hunting success rate of nocturnal owls. It was a pretty big hit, better than some pic only posts.

Maybe if the captivating content is keeping up with the volume of users, it’s less of an issue of conversation deteriorating. I’m still at a point I have a big audience but can keep up talking with everyone. If it got to a point where I couldn’t, I imagine it may be like any other group gathering where someone will inevitably try to fill any awkward silence with whatever and that could detail the previous flow of sticking to the real topic of the community.

I don’t know if that’s helpful to anyone whose community may have already passed that point, but we haven’t had to take any mod action or try to force anyone to do anything. I just feel we’re pretty good example of how popularity doesn’t need to mean sinking to the lowest common denominator.

11 square meters is literally the size of a bedroom lol

Now that I’d like to see! Though I’d still only eat the pieces with the crust, that’s my favorite part.

This Japanese style curry powder tastes really good in a Japanese style curry.

It tastes similar to the S&B curry in the can, but fresher and without the orange peel. I should try adding some zest sometime, but otherwise it uses all things I have on hand. If I have S&B, I’ll mix them half and half to get the freshness of my mix with all the secret tricks the S&B has in it.

The curry recipe is a chickpea curry, but I also sub chicken thigh chunks for the chickpeas if I want a meat curry. Just as good either way.

“Give a man injera and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to make injera and you feed him for a lifetime.”

This was my solution with naan/roti at least. I wish I had African food available near me.

One can go to other language versions of the Wikipedia as well and the info is different. The pages aren’t just translations from English.

I’ll check out different countries’ pages sometimes to see different culture references or to see what names are in other languages. Very useful.
