I gotta say, its been hard. Im my experience what happens is the saner part of the fried group starts looking at you funny (you AGREE WITH THEM?!?), and over time it becomes a game of “well maybe if i just said this to them”. There are some people who are just entrenched. It becomes toxic and having to navigate through an increasing polarized environment becomes difficult. And “over on the other side of the fence“, its increasingly just different- different movies, music, social customs, and a lot of open hateful behavior, with little introspection or empathy. After a while it becomes a little hard to stomach the realization that sometimes, people do change for the worse.

Thx ill ckeck it out (and tx to the other typst folks, just too tired to keep replying )

Best name ever. My issue is that its not very read friendly. (Had quite a headache doing papers in it.)

.md files are agnostic and can be read by pretty much anything. I care for the content to be preserved, the “look” can be handled later. Considering sloppification,Data preservation and accessibility should be held to a premium at this point.

LaTeX, really? Its like evil markdown.

Because when you are young and this may be your first situation, you either might not pick on the cues immediately, or it gets wierd 2/3rds of the night in. Then there are some crowds that seem nice and cool to everyone but when they think you might be cool to let in the friend zone the masks come off and all of a sudden they want to do something horrIble as a group.

Great dad. This is common sense, teaching transy, trust and open lines of communication, while teaching how to nope out of a situation and not bow in to peer pressure. Half of the reason why kids get into messes is not knowing how to handle an exit.

His boss… sends him to a shrink? What fantasy is this??

Question- who is going on X ? While the above is funny, someone gave that site a view 🙄

For additional context, it’s maybe an hour trip by train feom SI (including a fun ferry ride) and admission is free for Ny’ers at The Met. (Natural history museum too!)

This weekend, found my old motorola phone. For giggles, i plugged it in- still boots! Can I do anything with it or did I just wasted a bit of electricity on nostalgia?

Just a bit of a fact check, courtesy of Wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ga%C3%ABtan_Dugas?wprov=sfti1

“In 2016, a group of researchers led by evolutionary biologist Michael Worobey conducted a genetic study that looked at blood samples taken from gay and bisexual men in 1978 and 1979 as part of a hepatitis B study, and based on the results of the data, concluded that Dugas was not the source of the virus in the United States. "On the family tree of the virus, Dugas fell in the middle, not at the beginning."”

But where else do cheese curds grow??

While I’m nit a canook, I love learning and visiting your country, thank you!

Thank you! People keep saying “just search”, but honestly I've done various iterations of that (including subscribing the most popular lists) and its hard to find any non ghost towns.

While I’ve been on Lemmy for a while, I haven’t really seen any hobby - centric or geek centric areas.

I’ll miss the movie threads in particular, but there were a ton of active crafts, art & ttrpg threads to get inspiration from. Any suggestions?

You might want to look into “portable washing machines” - they’re under 100$ comes in a small box and are good for things like socks and undies. Regarding the packages, if they are shipping with ups, theres a service where you can choose an alternative delivery location, usually a place like a corner store, or with fedex, a print shop.

The first season was really good, and Tatiana does her thing perfectly. The second isn’t as strong but it wraps up the story.

Oh no! Veritasium, that was a good one for basic physics stuff as far as i could tell.
