Psychedelics have helped me to retain those feelings long after the trip has ended (some indefinitely, at least at time of writing this). I never appreciated a cool breeze until one of those experiences (I always wanted to cover up and shield myself from it before). Now, whenever I feel a cold wind or cool breeze, I appreciate it so much more because of that past experience.
Sly way for the article to be titled. It’s almost as if they’re trying to mask Meta/Facebook being the owner of it.
I’m loving it! There’s definitely a learning curve to the fediverse, but it’s been an enjoyable process and I haven’t felt the need to go back to reddit since switching. All the communities I cared about on reddit either ported over here or have equivalents, and I find the user interactions in comments to be much more level headed and engaging.
Edit: I will add, I have had to supplement some of my news feeds with RSS, but that’s been something I’ve wanted to try for a while. So I’m not particularly disappointed in giving RSS a go.
I agree with your overall points but wanted to call out that she got hit with a felony and a misdemeanor.
I don’t really know the ins-and-outs of the legal system, but I really hope that felony charge gets reduced or, at a minimum, doesn’t follow her around into adulthood. Would be a shame for her record to be marred like that long-term for a misguided prank pulled when she was 11.
