Aw, I hate to admit it but I feel sad to be missing place. I liked it

My home office is in my bedroom. I've covered what I can with electrical tape but the glow still comes through. Sometimes I just throw dirty t-shirts and socks over things

When I go to one of those directories, it seems to take me to a web browser. How do I visit one of those communities and/or subscribe to it in Wefwef/Voyager?

Sorry for the Facebook link, I hope you can view the video.

I noticed the horses in this video all seem to be "prancing" a little bit, like the riders are struggling to stay in control of them. Dozens of horses in this parade, acting similarly.

Every horse I've seen in a parade looks calm, mellow, or bored. So, are these horses excited and happy to be there? Or are the riders forcing/encouraging this behavior? Are the horses in distress?

For context, this is part of a festival in Tomato, Portugal.

If only Europe wanted us there! If moving there were easy, I'd have done it years ago. Unfortunately, I probably need to wait until I retire.

This makes me sad. Information is being erased that will keep people who could've been helped by it from ever finding it.

The people who it will hurt the most have nothing to do with Reddit.

But why are all the blue states cold?

My husband and I thought about Arizona, or Virginia to get away from one of the highest CoL areas in the country.. but eventually decided to focus on Connecticut instead, because we don't want to be in a red state. With the exception of CA, none of the liberal states are sunny and all of them are expensive!

My state has plastic shopping bag bans across (most of?) the state and I feel like it's completely backfired.

Now, instead of those thin plastic bags everyone used to get, people are charged 20 cents for a "reausable" bag, which is still a shitty bag that no one seriously reuses or wants, but it's thick plastic, like thick, crunchy, and indestructible. Maybe double the plastic waste.

I TRY to remember my (actual) reusable bags, I really do. But sometimes I forget and I wind up with these big thick bags I don't want to reuse and wind up throwing out or "recycling" (which probably means shippibg then to the Philippines).

I also do curbside grocery pickup frequently and the ONLY option is to get those thick "reusable" bags with your order. Otherwise the grocery employee (who can't accept tips) will need to individually place each item in my car one at a time.

The thin plastic disposable bags were better. Paper bags would be better. This 20 cents for a "reausable" bag loophole is total bullshit.

It sounds so much harder than just reading.

But I believe it. I work in law and often need clients to respond in writing to questions (so we have a record of their answers). The barely-coherent poorly-spelled responses we get are astonishing - and often from pretty well educated, smart people with high level jobs (after all, they can afford a lawyer).

It's such a subtle shift they probably don't even realize it happened. But suddenly people stop reacting with joy and love when they see you and it takes a while to adjust to that

Thank you for your help! I feel so stupid, but I can't figure out how to go to an address that isn't just a normal link in this app (Connect). But I will keep trying and I'll figure it out! It's actually kind of fun and they say it's good for your brain.

[-] reedthompson@reddthat.com 7 points 1 year ago

So, but, forgive my ignorance, but why? Is it a hosting/capacity issue? Why multiple instances with different addresses?

I couldn't sign up on lemmy.world or lemmy.ml (I think) but registered on redd.that. What does that mean for me?

I'm using Liftoff but also checked out Connect and am trying to figure this out. (It took me multiple tries just to create an account so bear with me!). How can I find popular communities? I found a master list but it was in alphabetical order and wouldn't let me sort by subscriber count.
