LOL. I mean, reading runes as a form of divination is basically on this level. The idea is that you fill a bag with runes, then dump it out on a surface and make your reading based on how they fall.

Personally I prefer to use spaghettios divination in my practice.

I think I used one of those just to get through February

I think you're right, but I have hope. I believe in us lemmings, lol.

Using reddit makes me feel bad. It's full of such inflammatory rage bate. Even in the niche communities I was part of, there were multiple posts every day just stirring the pot. Lemmy right now reminds me of reddit in its early days, back when people were trying to have actual, meaningful discussions.

After the api-gate, I had a moment where I asked myself "what things have I actually learned on reddit that I otherwise wouldn't have learned?" And the answer was nothing. Actual, helpful, insightful discussions just don't get attention over there anymore. I get way more mileage out of my RSS feed than reddit.

I've found the tone here on Lemmy to be more positive and more informative. Don't change, y'all.

Bouncing like a model 3 off the side of a ravine, while sadly blaring its fart horn the whole way down.

It's been crazy watching the markets over the last few weeks. I've seen stocks go from like 5% down to like 3% up by EOD, lol. So we'll see. This seems like Tesla's bad sales numbers are finally catching up to them.

They're asking their users to leave. Its about time we oblige them.

Be the change you want to see in the world. I’ve been on here since the api controversy. I’m done with Reddit for good now, after about 15 years. So now I’m going to try to drive activity on all the niche communities I want to see here.

I spend more time watching markets than I probably should, lol. I haven't been very active on lemmy, but I'll start posting stuff. I suspect the next few years in the market will be... interesting.

I feel like I found a new reason to avoid amazon every time I looked for a product not being sold under some random fake brand name. I cancelled prime over a year ago and started shopping elsewhere. It costs more, but the quality of just about anything is higher.

I avoid amazon for the same reason I avoid walmart: everything is a simulacrum of an actual product. Somehow, amazon is even worse than walmart.

So yeah, boycott amazon and shop at places selling actual products.

Ex mormon here, and I had the same reaction. The shit that went on in that church is absolutely insane in retrospect. Like, it seemed "normal" at the time, but now looking back as an adult its all a bunch of "what the fuck" moments.

Like that one time I was a 15 year old kid, getting asked by a church elder if I looked at porn as a "purity test". I have no idea how mormonism is even legal.

Same here. I figured it was a matter of time before reddit was entirely ruined after the api change and IPO. I stuck around for the niche communities, but they've all been overrun by bots.

RIP in pizza, reddit.
