Goofy, random flash videos. AlbinoBlacksheep was like the internet in its prime

I only ever go there to check the front page/news now. Lemmy is growing fast, but being decentralized, at the moment it’s still easier to catch up on politics and world news using reddit.

I’ve never really been able to use eye drops and when I’ve tried my eyes would reflexively close. I don’t get how people can handle putting contacts in regularly

Reddit is pretty much at the point where you can open any thread on the front page and the comments will be indistinguishable from a Facebook comment section.

The game I’ve played most that I don’t recommend would have to be Ark. You really need to like a certain type of survival challenge to enjoy it, and even I didn’t have much fun myself.

Art supplies, nothing else compares to the feeling of freedom I get when crafting something and having tons of options for things to work with. I’m actually thinking of buying a cheap laser engraver next so I can turn digital art into all sorts of stuff.

Carl’s Jr does this, pretty much spot on

I think it helps that the community vibe is completely different here. On some reddit subs your posts would get automatically removed for the most arbitrary reasons, and that really discouraged people from participating. Here I haven’t encountered anything like that yet and most of the people that do participate have been super cool too.

There’s actually a community called “New Communities” that shares them all the time. I’d drop a link but I’m still confused about how exactly to link communities

Yup

Anyone else’s home feed only loading Local > Active ?

I can’t get it to load any other new/hot or subscribed/all posts unless I go to a community page and browse one community at a time.

An easier way to link communities. It was so simple on reddit just typing r/sub but here it’s more complicated

Building new habits or replacing old ones has to start small, so small actually that the book I read about this a few years ago is titled Atomic Habits. What it breaks down to is that changes in our daily lives don’t happen instantaneously; they take time, effort, and repetition.

For example, if you were to set a goal of getting more fit you wouldn’t accomplish that in one day. What you can accomplish though, is to go out and walk a mile today. Then the next day walk another mile. And the next another mile. After a week or two of this, you might try something more intense like longer distances, jogging, or maybe even riding a bicycle. But you didn’t get there in one day: you worked at it a little bit each day until it naturally became part of your habits.

A higher-quality tool. Buy the cheapest-made one and it’ll break shortly, buy the medium one and you’ll be set for a while, buy the best one and you’ll really be set.

Despite this I still buy the occasional dollar-store tool because it’s nice to have extras around just in case they come in handy.
