CascadianBeam,

Naturally. No sense in suffering 0 or 1 times, I have to suffer twice or more!

CascadianBeam,

This happens way more than I’d like it to. Just be mid sentence in a conversation and remember it’s all pointless and one time I said I wanted to jump the bones of my 62 year old male coworker by accident because my brain didn’t remember what that phrase means.

CascadianBeam,

It’s good to have options. You can’t make people do what you want them to do. Having options means being able to choose one central instance. People are going to be people collectively and sometimes you gotta follow the desire path.

CascadianBeam,

I don’t think a whole lot better off. I don’t think Reddit has a user base that is easily monetized.

CascadianBeam,

I sometimes wonder what kind of intentions went into a vehicle sat there like that.

Did they park it there optimistically hoping to repair it? Did they park it there because their optimism ran out and no one would kind?

My curiosity began to wane when I moved to a rural area and realized it’s usually a combination of the two and far less interesting than my hope would lead me to.

CascadianBeam,

The silent majority are never going to have the time to blow on shit that people who get so mentally invested in this stuff do.

That’s what people don’t seem to understand. The silent majority is not mindless by choice. They’re mindless by design.

CascadianBeam,

The guy from Capitol Hill needed something to do when his coke machine broke.

CascadianBeam,

How many new locomotives are still being manufactured a year these days would you say?

CascadianBeam,

I’ve read comments by people saying they enjoy the feeling it gives other people when they give gold. Of course, the person I’m thinking of was long before all the fuckery with the expanse of awards.

I’ve been experience lag tonight. Hadn’t made the connection until now.

CascadianBeam,

Iconic and always creepy. Sad to say I haven’t played my copy of Diablo IV enough to comment on the new music.

CascadianBeam,

Dude, you just gotta have faith.

Just realized… better add the ‘ol /s

CascadianBeam,

I bought this game, played it 3 hours on launch, failed to refund it. Give me 3 reasons to reinstall this on steam and try it again.

CascadianBeam,

I played on PC only. I played it within a day of launch. It has been so long that I hardly recall. I believe it wasn’t the most smooth experience, but more so than that, I didn’t enjoy the gameplay. I didn’t feel like my bullets were making a connection. The world felt more contrived than I thought it would.

I also feel like perhaps I bit into the hype to the point that I hadn’t seen the forest for the trees. During my time playing, I realized I wasn’t that into the whole cyber punk concept to begin with. That’s my fault obviously. Shameful though that I didn’t set myself up for a successful refund.

CascadianBeam,

I did the same thing, granted I had less tenure. I had about 8 years. Reddit had grown more and more tiresome over the last couple years. I was never a super user or much of a contributor. I had maybe 60k total karma, so not a total lurker but not exactly coming in clutch for Reddit content.

Being that I’m on iOS, I truly loved Apollo. Apollo was Reddit for me. I realized when I finally decided to confront the realty of using Power Delete Suite, that I didn’t really care about what was deleted. I used to think I had some kind of kindred relationship with my saved posts and Reddit history. What I realized was that I had never actually reflected back on any of that, so what was the point in clutching my pearls over deleting it.

I did finally go through with it, but it was mostly symbolic. I haven’t been on Reddit in quite some time. My main issue right now is needing a reasonable replacement for Reddit. At first, lemmy seemed like it scratched the itch. As I went on, I started to realize the itch was being scratched primarily by memes. Then it continued to dawn on me how long it would take to build a community like what Reddit had.

I have mixed feelings about the emulation of Reddit. I do think we have the early adopter crew currently, and that crew has, time and time again, proven to be a good crew. I feel like Lemmy needs to come into its own organically, as Reddit did. I see a lot of copy and paste communities based on subreddits, and that’s fine, but some are a little on the nose. I think we as a community need to get more creative and take ownership of Lemmy apart from Reddit. That may just take time.

CascadianBeam,

You can insult and do whatever you want. Just be prepared for the consequences of your actions. That’s how free speech works.

CascadianBeam,

There’s a surprisingly more expansive demographic that pro tip applies to.
