That’s just how you eat rice with chopsticks? How else are you supposed to do it without making a giant mess?

A ladder. If it’s famous there’s bound to be a good chunk of change down there.

I’m from Berlin, what you call a Berliner is a Pfannkuchen to me.

What an odd way to spell Eierkuchen.

Which direction? “Absolute” free speech? You had high hopes for …more racism, misogyny, and homo- and transphobia? Because that’s the type of speech that was “censored” before Elon’s takeover.

/r/retrogaming’s definition doesn’t work anymore now that there are multiple generations that grew up with video games. Just because it doesn’t feel retro to the 40 year old who remembers playing the PS2 as a teenager doesn’t mean it’s not retro. The PS2 is absolutely a retro console, and the PS3 is very much getting there.

… that’s not how the fediverse works. You’d have to move to an instance that doesn’t federate with whatever instances (regardless of whether those are Lemmy or Piefed or Mbin instances) the redditors flock to.

Lemmy has some unique issues beyond that, it’s developed by and for tankies and it shows. I wouldn’t blame anyone for looking at any even vaguely political community on .ml (effectively the flagship instance run by the devs) and just going straight back to Reddit.

So give me a Fediverse Twitter alternative that’s actually a drop-in replacement for Twitter the way Bluesky is and that is (and this is by far the most important factor) as easy to sign up for as Bluesky is. People aren’t leaving Twitter because it’s “corporate” or “enshittified”, they’re leaving because it’s the proverbial Nazi bar and they want to jump through as few hoops as possible to get where they want to go. Which is Twitter, minus the Nazi in charge and his followers.

Technically yes, and so is Android. But neither work the way you’d expect a typical Linux distro to work.

Really? Because in my experience you have to wade through racist, homo- and transphobic, and misogynistic shit the second you foolishly open the discussions page on any game that features black or brown, LGBTQIA, and/or female characters.

I used to have downstairs neighbours like that and I loved it, free underfloor heating, I just opened the windows when I felt it got too warm. Saved me a good bit of money because I basically didn’t have to heat at all.

Birth control isn’t 100% effective and not all pregnancies are viable, nevermind desirable. Texas doesn’t even allow abortions in case of rape you fucking ghoul.

Germany, zero minutes. Postal voting ftw!

Neurotypical here - that’s the correct response.

Aren’t those still made from steel? There should be nothing preventing you(r friend) from sharpening them.

Where are you from? Where are you going? Can’t really give you advice without knowing those things.

As a general rule: don’t expect perfection. Some things will suck, and if you go in expecting everything to be perfect you’ll be disappointed. Also, wherever you go is still a normal place, filled with normal people, living normal lives. Don’t be a nuisance to the locals, and don’t expect/demand anyone not working in hospitality to go out of their way on your behalf (and even people working in hospitality, the “the customer is always right” mentality isn’t a thing everywhere).

I’m right with you on Stardew Valley. Might be because I’m a city kid but I just can’t connect with the game. I know that it’s supposed to be “cosy” but my idea of cosy is a downtown apartment, not a farm. It just doesn’t work for me.
