Ask Lemmy

After a certain age people stop asking you what your favorite dinosaur is, and I think that's sad.

My current one's the Anchiornis, because it's in the same clade as birds so it's in their family tree, and it really looks like a prototype of a bird. It had 4 wings for example, but it already looked very birb-y:

(Figured I'd just turn an earlier comment into an actual post because why not)

What do you think?

What if the pieces are the same and start at different times?

I have been propositioned by swingers quite a bit. It's to the point that if a couple is nice to me, I start getting suspicious. This has happened with acquaintances, long-time friends, people I've met at a party, co-workers, and even strangers at the beach. Three times that I can remember off the top of my head, they propositioned me and my girlfriend at the time (separate girls many years apart). Is this a normal thing? What about me could make me attractive to swinger couples?

I'm a cis-gendered straight male. As far as physical attractiveness, I would say I'm slightly above average based on what women have told me and how they treat me.

I try to collect conversation starters so I have things to talk about with people I like.

Some of them are general and work on anyone, like: "I'm moving soon!" or "how was your weekend?" or "did you see that ludicrous display last night?". Others deal with shared interests or common friends, so they're person specific.

What's a word to describe collecting conversation starters? Borrowing from other languages is legit.

Its seems like such an incredible oversight that it ends up OTC unlike codeine in many places when its far more traditionally neurochemically altering.

I'm glad its available and can be used once in a while as a poor-man's ketamine to help recalibrate your affect and mental state and get the neuroplasticity shifting things around.

Who has experience(s) with DXM?

Subquestion: what do you do for kicks?

Personally I press Ctrl

Especially when those 2nd, 3rd, + properties are being used as passive short term rentals. Observing the state of the housing situation "Hmm there aren't enough homes for normal families to each have a chance, I should turn this extra property of mine into a vacation rental." does this make said person a POS?

Could be the type of pet, the breed, how they behave, their relationship...anything about the pet that informs you on their human.

Brand new to the platform. Just wondering if I have to use my browser each time. Thanks. Ps. F reddit mods

I would think it would be neat for him or her to hear from lemmings that appreciate the work and everything. If there is not a community to do an AMA can we create one?

Moi?

A cheap acoustic guitar from Amazon... That's what happens when you're unemployed, you waste that little money you have... I can't even play it, I though it would be easy to at least pretend to play it but nope, even those "easy to play songs" on YouTube are impossible for me and I'm negated in learning chords, now is a pretty dust collector that I want to destroy.

Also I guess cyberpunk 2077. That game isn't what it promised to be.

Edit: people, you also can ask about the game, not just the goddamn guitar. Seriously, stop asking about the guitar, the post wasn't even about music advice.

I realize this is a broad question, but I'd be interested in personal anecdotes. Are they even common? (Obviously varies by county and region)

Thx

Just started Lemmying today. Have lots of questions. Someone mentioned mod logs, so I went down a rabbit hole reading mod logs. The only reason I left reddit was because many mods are dicks. But reading the logs, it seems mods ban people and censor like crazy here too. Isn’t Lemmy supposed to be more free and open? How is this different from Reddit? I honestly don’t understand.
