My friend was analyzing meter of an interesting phrase they came up with (“imminently deducible”) last night and I fell a little more in love. They concluded it was something like anapestic with a bunch of spondees, which I opposed due to disliking spondees on principle (they’re just two long feet you put in when nothing else fits! also, “imminently” is trochaic in my opinion). What do you think?

Mine was our CRT TV. I would rapidly push the power button on and off because I thought the picture coming and going looked cool but eventually it fell inside of the TV. I think I later stuck a magnet on the TV....
All of my plants are next to the two spots I usually sit down. So when I have my big water cup out, I share a little with my plants and maybe pet their leafs for a second. It makes me happy to share my cuppy of water with my little plants. Apparently, this works really well and they are all growing like crazy! One of my fellas...
Congrats! I wonder if petting the leaves demonstrates some love that makes them thrive more. Legends say talking nicely to them makes them grow better (read that somewhere in a Madeline L’Engle novel, I think).
I just joined Lemmy and so far I’m enjoying it. It’s a little bit sparse in terms of content and users, but I think it has a really cool structure, and it feels more human than certain other social media sites....
It would be great if it could become a virtually universal social media eventually, but for its quirks to be understood by everyone, some critical mass of first adopters must understand the fediverse. So I think the fediverse will self-select for technically knowledgeable people at first before eventually becoming accessible to the public, not by any fault of its own but by virtue of having been around long enough and grown enough of a community to attract the average person from traditional social media.
I also think there are different instances and communities for people with different priorities. People interested in the ideas behind the fediverse can congregate on lemmy.ml (because that’s where Lemmy’s developers are, right?) and in FLOSS communities, etc., while people looking for a social network that won’t use them for profit can flock to region-specific instances, etc.
Looking for a pretty, easy to use app to register my expenses and incomes and then get charts telling me how much I am spending on real needs or on luxuries and things like that.

Someone commented about it in a similar chain/post on Lemmy several months ago. I can’t find it now. It probably was just a general “what Android apps do you find indispensable?” post, not a budgeting-specific post.

I lived in a perfect OOP bubble for my entire life. Everything was peaceful and it worked perfectly. When I wanted to move that player, I do player.move(10.0, 0.0); When I want to collect a coin, I go GameMan -> collect_coin(); And when I really need a global method, so be it.

People can be good people without being a good fit for particular individuals. It sounds like this person is not a good fit for you, regardless of whether they’re a good person or not.
Lots of good things are unnatural. Cherries with edible flesh and proportionally small seeds are unnatural because of GMOs. Sweet watermelons are unnatural. Clothing is unnatural because we’re born naked. Hell, cooking food is unnatural, unless you’d like to claim one particular snapshot in time of human history is the ideal against which to compare all modern things (rather than just saying “anything a wolf doesn’t do is unnatural”).
Technology and society evolved past the limitations of “natural”-ness, and that’s a good thing for most people. Yeah, you could live a “natural” life, but what does it gain you in exchange for taking all good food and sex and clothes away from you?
