There is on Lemmy.World.

It’s probably an instance thing. Either way, glad you made it.

Are you me?

Thank you for pointing that out to me.

The Joker needs to get paid somehow, in the King’s court.

It has to do with Verb Tense.

In your example, “I thought he died,” that would mean you thought he had died in the past.

“I thought he was dead” would mean that you thought he had died recently or in this situation, in the present time.

I read this very much like it was a comment on [email protected], and it added to the overall read.

I understand your perspective and agree that it would be best to do the following.

But you gotta understand how it feels for most Millennials.

What’s not included in this meme are: USA’s Unjustified involvement in two Middle East countries with our armed forces and bombs, 1 Trillion dollars collectively “spent” on those two involvements, “Resurfacing” of mass racism, Mass false news/information, The never ending inflation of everything, and the lie that if we all went to college and got a degree, that everything would be alright later on. (Let me know if I missed any.)

So yes, giving up hope is not wise. But nor is letting us live our lives as if this isn’t some of the most corrupt, asinine, ‘fight amongst yourselves while we the ultra rich keep taking from you in any way we can,’ period of time.

Gather around children. u/bjoern_tantau is going to tell us of one of the mighty Wikipedia Edit Wars.

Are we… Are we related?

Today at work, I needed to make some orange jello that would be poured over mandarin oranges in small meal cups with plastic lids. Well, yea boi, read the instructions three times to make sure to not mess it up like I have done before in the past. (Too much water ain’t good for jello setting.) Well wouldn’t you believe it. Yea boi messed up. It calls for 2 litters of very hot water and to add two cold liters of water after mixing in the jello powder. I still don’t understand how I fucked this up. Like really. I. Have. No. Idea. Why my brain blocked/jumped to accepting that 34 Fl. Oz. was two liters of water per batch. …Which means that I only made each package with 3 liters of water… I didn’t realize this was the case until I was finishing up making the last package (out of 7) of jello mix to pour. (fml.)

True. But when you have 6 chances to get a bingo though…

My results.

Well, wouldn’t you feel the same if you were now only worth several billion dollars? /s

I’m all for being able to change your name legally once, at the age of 13. Then It’s up to you at 18 if you feel the need to change it again.

This is stunning! It has me desiring to see it spin slowly on a lazy susan.

I believe you meant that you have an internet speed of 81 MegaBytes vs 81 Megabits.

From back in the day, there was a settings section for limiting your download/upload speeds, to make sure you didn’t max out your data cap/plan. I would suggest looking into that to make sure you’re not self-capping your DLs.

Also check to make sure that your ISP isn’t throttling your internet connection after you hit a certain amount of data. Look at the contract you have with them.

But like others have said, it could be a list of other reasons.

Edit: Just thought about it. Make sure that you’re connected with a Cat 5e ethernet cable or higher. You might be limiting yourself through your hardware.

If you need to get a newer ethernet cable, I highly recommend Monoprice.com as a place to buy online. Far more often, I have found that they have better prices (even after shipping,) and a wider selection of things than Newegg or Amazon for that matter.

Expectations are one of the biggest pitfalls for me. Whether they be mine, a friend/family member, a work manager, coworker, or sometimes others. It gets to me and can make me feel very frustrated and/or overwhelmed.

It’s been a loooonnnngggg journey for me to better understand that this is one of my triggers and how to best prevent it and work with it when it happens. (It’s not pretty at times but showing up to fight the good fight is better than cowering to it IMO.)

Yeah, I don’t struggle with boycotting Amazon. The only times I’ve really used Amazon in the past have been for PC parts, audio headphones, and a random thing or two. I do my absolute best not to buy needless things as it is, and I know that there are plenty of other websites to use if I really need to get something online. (I knew this was gonna come in handy one day ha.) Here’s a website called amazonalts.org. It’s curated websites/online stores for the ethical consumer in mind. The categories are Food, Home, Clothes, Beauty, Books, Electronics, and Miscellaneous.
