I think they could use someone to vibe with, too.

Also interesting. I’m not opposed to my voting being public, although I have noticed I’ve accidentally hit the vote button without intending to and have no idea if I’ve done it without noticing. I’ll have to audit my own votes sometime to see.

Votes = karma. Low karma can keep you from being able to post in places and can get your post/comment hidden.

Wonderful explanation! I will continue to up/down vote posts and comments as I see fit. 😊

Thanks! This helps my understanding a good deal.

I like the lack of karma. Generally I’m using the up/down vote options to express my dis/approval, just like you’ve stated they’re for. Given how different things can be across instances it seems I’ll just have to relearn how I view and interact with Lemmy over Reddit.

Aside from the much smaller user base and communities, I prefer Lemmy 100%. I’m learning to enjoy the smaller user base since it’s also lacking the huge amount of bots and trolls.

I’ve read about the disabling of voting and find it interesting. I enjoy the voting system because it gives me an easy way to interact with a post without having to comment. I usually only downvote if the post is low effort/slop, or the poster/commenter is just being a troll.

Thanks for your input.

Jesus, that’s terrible! I somehow hate this country even more now.

The car I drive has buttons and dials for most everything I’d use the screen for, and Siri takes care of the rest. I love it for visual navigation and ease of use, but I need the buttons. I drove my mom around in her car and it has almost no buttons. It was terrible.

They should be physical buttons. Almost everything should have physical buttons so that we can make adjustments without taking our eyes off the road. I love my CarPlay, but I love more that the car has a set of physical buttons to control most everything about it.

The drug I have to take to live costs anywhere from $4,000-$5,500/month without insurance. This is actually cheaper than what I was on before—a cocktail of 4 drugs, some taken multiple times a day, that was almost $10,000/month. I’m lucky(?) that there are a ton of programs that together cover the cost for me. Unfortunately there are hoops I have to jump through every month to continue qualifying for the assistance and have to regularly take time off from work to make the appointments. I’ve lost jobs due to this, but am currently working a position where my manager is happy enough with my work to fudge time cards to help me out.

I hate this country.

Someone shared an article with me once that explained quite a few inventions were actually developed around the same time in different areas, sometimes across the globe. I have to get to work now so I can’t try to find it just yet, but if I remember I’ll go in search of it when I have a chance. It was an interesting read pointing to a collective consciousness/knowledge base.

Seeing a turkey on someone’s roof might scare me off, too. Turkeys can be bastards.

I never said you were stupid, I said you sound stupid. If I need anything other than a basic toolkit and replacement pads to change my brakes, that’s a problem to me. And yes, I do know what an EPB is, and I don’t like them. Like a lot of electronic systems, they can fail. I’ve driven a car that automatically engages the EPB when put in park and turning it off rarely worked as intended.

Who’s stupid now? Neither of us, but you still sound stupid.

You sound pretty stupid. Even if you were right, this is wildly unnecessary to go through to change brakes. I’ve been changing my own brakes since I learned to drive and have never had to touch anything other than the wheels and brake pedals. Your take is wild.

Tastes like heaven for this jack off. 🙄

Agreed. Although, I was taught that the reason our privates had darker skin was because it was bruised from constant fapping. “If y’all would just leave them wieners and cooters alone they’d look damn normal!”

I didn’t pull it for almost a month and a half and after no change I decided she was wrong. LOL

Taking into account the information OP has shared, it sounds like you’re advocating for his demise. This is inflammatory to someone with normal reactions; how do you think a violent sociopath would respond?

This is shit advice, and even though I’m sure OP knows better, I’m still going to say it: don’t do this stupid shit.

Sounds like someone woke up not just on the wrong side of the bed, but off of it. Take six chill pills, bro. 😂

Thanks! I had no idea. I figured the resolution came from system specs. This is good to know. Although, I’m super close to just banishing the internet entirely. Tracking is getting out of hand…

Edit: corrected “vanishing” to “banishing.” Autocorrect. 🙄
