See for me I'm not sure why that's hard to accept. I think I first heard it from Alan Watts, that there were billions of years of space before I was conscious, so why am I afraid of billions of years of nothing after I'm gone?

Can you actually name which rights we've won via peaceful protests?

Georgia Constitution says the governor can't pardon. There's a board of corrections or something, that you go through for a pardon. Which can't happen until 5 years after your sentence is carried out.

It's not really just about reading, it's the engagement. I can read something from a couple of hours ago, comment now, and then somebody might read it in a couple of hours. And then comment back. But then I'm barely interested in the conversation because I've moved on.

But I'm just nitpicking. I know it's going to balance out. Or it won't and we'll move on to something else that does LOL. Or I can always spend more time outside. Gasp.

But even if I'm on my instance, lemme.ee, and LW is down, I'm not going to see anything from that instance. Which is where the most activity is. So I might see the same link for an article locally, with two comments, and no interaction from the instance with 300 comments.

I mean, eventually other instances will grow, but then they will face the same problems as Lemmy.world.

I was homeless in SF and Marin County a while back in the early eighties. Spent many years in southern California. Now 20 years in Georgia. That was a lot of back story to say I was expecting crazy and annoying homeless people and feces everywhere when I went back on vacation three years ago. I couldn't find anything like that, to the point we took a few walks specifically to search it out.

Honey you know the wrong men. Broaden your social circle, there are a ton of men who aren't on the trump train.

This is the state that brought you Biden in 2020. And two democratic senators. Granted there's a lot of back ass districts here, but we're working on it I promise.
