Whoa it’s wild that it was commissioned by a company as a way to improve staff morale after a series of mergers and acquisitions. Imagine being worried about your job in an era when job hopping was not common, & you get a smiley face pin from management.

Honestly 100% unemployed becuase we have a good universal income system or something would be great. But sadly it looks like we’re in a different timeline :(

Lmao I guess there are just limits to my photoshop abilities 🤣

Lmao youre right. Heres a new one, now with 8 guns 🔫

If you already know where a pressurized liquid magma pool is, maybe. Though if it’s not pressurized enough you might just get the release of some weird fumes and vapors. Or the lava might rise a little then settle back to a standard hight rather than errupting.

If you dont have a pool of lava to aim for about the earth mantle, then probably not :( By the time you get deep enough into the earth to hit magma, the hole would collapse due to pressure and pretty much any modern drill would be soft due to the heat.

Heres a discussion about this that happened else where on the interwebs.

Lol here’s a poorly redone version of this meme with fewer words.

What a beautiful community. Thanks for sharing :)

I agree it’s all about access and boundries.

My 2yo neice has a designated smartphone, but she only gets it for short periods. My sister picks the app and locks the phone so that the app cant be exited. For things like going out to dinner, it’s incredibly useful & I don’t think damaging.

All she watches is miss rachel, lol maybe some bluey or aquarium feeds.

I think her having a phone is mostly useful so that there is one to give her without worrying about your nice expensive device getting grubby kid hands all over it.

Definetly still alot of good content on reddit. Lemmy is very new so the niche communities arent here, and lemmy doesnt have years of post and comment history to fill things out.

I do think with time those things will happen on lemmy & that the administrative priorities of reddit will slowly make that space less useful. Right now both have their uses, but i have high hopes for the furture of decentralized social media.

It definetly does. Small niche subs dont attract advertisers the way the massive subs do.

It makes sense advertisers are going to target spaces with the most people

Giant group texts. One has over 30 people, mostly used for baby/marriage announcements. Then a bunch of other group texts for different social groups (stoners, siblings, camping, etc).

There are definetly social pressures that make male victims of sexual assult less likely to come forward and speak out about their abuse – but is still abuse and many adult survivers have to deal with life long effects of that kind of trauma.

And its not an exception for CSA survivors to be upset about the abuse they suffered, regardless of gender. Idk where you got that opinion, but it seems super off to me.

I think its that many people didnt really leave reddit, some migrated to lemmy, some to discord, some to other small sites, and some just quit that style of website.

Lemmy definitely is still pretty small, but i think its growing pretty well (i remember checking it out years ago and it being a super tiny niche site). It takes time for things to set up & for users to get comfortable and grow communities they care about. Organic growth is slow.

I think the key is compromize and risk reduction. Sick people should stay home, mask if they need to go out, & be aware of what signs of infection are.

Its true social distancing is the only “100% effective” way to not get sick. But its kind of like abstinence-- most people are not going to do the “100% safe” thing, but they will take measures to make bad outcomes less likely. Which the cdc recognizes and has adjusted covid reccomendations to reflect what is most benificial for people as a whole (stay home if sick, but no need to isolate yourself from everyone).

Perfection is the enemy of the good and all that jazz.

Sounds like a really cool project, sadly i dont have much knowledge to contribute. Still, what kind of issues have you run into? Any specific errors or problems?

I think a short story is a hood alternative! Keeps some of the momentum of a book club but doesnt require as much time

I really enjoyed that! I think the first section was the strongest to me personally – it was more grounded in real events, while some of the other sections lost some of their power by becomming too abstract. I did enjoy the aspect of different interconnected characters setting up eachothers stories.

I went ahead and shared it in my solarpunk bookclub, hopefully some more people will give it a read through!

Also it might be worth crossposting to a solarpunk community, it really fits the vibe :)

That was a super interesting read. Its amazing she can be so polite when talking about him, i guess time and perspective can do that.

Also for anyone curious, the post nup did not hold up. Justine gets 20k monthly plus an unspecified alimony, in addition to the 15 million she got at the time of the divorce.

Yeah the forced insert of the new character was annoying. Its sad that seth mcfarlanes love life affects the characters and plot lines in the show. Alara was one of my favorite characters

I feel similarly. The lack of comedy in season 3 really hurt the overall quality of the show imo
