I'm disheartened. As a Jordanian/Palestinian/American, it's hard to live in a country where the government and the general populace openly and unabashedly wants you and your whole family to die. Seeing people justify the atrocities committed by the Israeli government and military is just disappointing more than anything.

I really do love America, and I don't take for granted how lucky my family has been to even have the opportunity to migrate here (I know plenty of people who would do anything to live here!) But it hurts when America doesn't love you back.

Hell yeah

It is disappointing how unconcerned the Lemmy devs are with the lack of mod tools on this platform. Honestly if Beehaw decides to move away from Lemmy, I'll probably follow and stop using Lemmy altogether. Beehaw's all that's really keeping me here.

I tried playing Blasphemous recently and had to drop it in a couple hours. I might've stuck with it had I tried it when I was younger but I've discovered that nowadays I don't have the patience to play games that require you to beat your head against a brick wall until it breaks. So many frustrating enemy placements and insta-kill spikes, the movement is slow, the combat is unsatisfying, I just didn't feel like I had much incentive to continue playing (minus the art style which is absolutely gorgeous).

I like "bogus" or "whack"

I guess I'm a little confused, is it fully separate or is it part of lemmy.world's hardware? If the server were to go down wouldn't it also affect the new instance? And what additional steps would be taken to make it more secure than lemmy.world?

I use YouTube all the time and was legitimately thinking of subscribing to premium. Guess I'm sticking to ReVanced lol

may I ask what's changed for you? just curious! not sure if I've missed something or if it's just for personal reasons.

Exactly!!! How are people just giving him a pass all the sudden? Have we forgotten who's behind these apps and their track record with dealing with user data?

Serj Tankian has been all over the place! Since System of a Down disbanded (essentially), he's done a couple rock albums, a classical album, a jazz album, has written a few movie scores, even featured in a Tech N9ne song. He's done it all relatively well too! Guy's super impressive and a big inspiration to me musically.

i am tired

Kinda dumb but some of the "obscure humor" (for a lack of a better term) subreddits I kinda miss, like r/comedyheaven, r/skamteboard, r/oldpeoplefacebook, etc. The meme communities I've found on the fediverse, while totally fine, don't really scratch the same itch for me lol.
