Yeah.

I miss it.

That's called "American Healthcare" since it doesn't include teeth.

There's definitely a difference with scale.

On reddit, I was never on the default front page or /r/all. I was subbed to a hundred niche communities.

On lemmy that's harder in 2 ways. The first is the critical mass you need to keep a community active, and the second is fragmentation.

For instance, I was super active in the scuba and underway photography subreddits. Not only is the community tiny here, but which scuba sub do i go to? With multiple instances, there's no default community named "scuba."

My sister said she loved not being told by random creepy dudes at the grocery store that she'd be prettier if she smiled more.

I went to one in Orlando one time.

I don't remember what the conference was even for, but I sure as shit remember scuba diving in the Aquarium at Epcot.

The secret to promotion is to be competent but not amazing.

If you're good enough not to be fired, but not so good you're indispensable in your current role, your boss will be happy to recommend you for promotion to get you out of their umbrella.

Wendy's is still a pretty good deal. A cup of chili and some nuggets ain't a bad price.

I'm talking about batteries, specifically. And the US is decades behind on batteries.

If I can get one I'm buying one. I think their performance/cost ratio is excellent, and will probably make NVidia and AMD bring down their mid-range card prices.

But I'm not forgetting who made the prices come down. I'm all in on supporting a new player in the GPU game, and the 5060 would have to make me grow new teeth or something to get me to give Nvidia money over Intel at this point.

McDonald's is expensive now.

A double cheeseburger was a dollar a few years ago, sure. But it's almost that much for a single nugget these days.

A hash brown is 3.50 at the one by my office.

I worked at a place that used customer phone numbers for internal market research in a less-scummy way.

For instance, if the same customers (tracked by their phone number) purchased lots of X and Z, but not Y, we'd market X and Z together.

The GOP has 20 senate seats up for election in 2026, compared to the Dem's 13. Flipping the Senate will be pretty easy, and getting within 1 vote of removing Trump from office will be technically possible.

All our efforts should be focused on ending the GOP in 2026. Make it such a bloody takedown that the remaining GOP gets on board with removing Trump in order to save the party.
