we’ve been no contact with my family on and off for a while - we were able to use covid and my daughter’s premature birth as a scapegoat (which honestly was a worry anyways), but we’ve been starting to try and attend family events more now that my parents have grandkids other than my own kids. Having more in-laws and grand...
To be fair he did say teenage behavior, and I know I said and did some truly awful shit as a teenager. My parents sacrificed a ton for me, and I was just a petty and ungrateful brat tweeting shit like “a homeless man would be a better dad”
Makes me sick just typing that out and knowing that at one point, I said it with my chest.
I’ve definitely gone to my parents and apologized for the fucked up stuff I said and some of the worse things I did. Because sometimes it is the kid.
I was depressed, and dealing with undiagnosed anxiety but that’s not an excuse to say hateful, cruel things, probably just because they said no to going to the mall or something.
I’m 27 now and my dad and I are just starting to get back to having a normal relationship where we talk about things other than like, my taxes or my car maintenance. We can chat now, and talk like a father and daughter.
So in regards to OP…idk what his situation was but maybe the apology was warranted. But for her to still be digging her heels in…yeah it might be time to just lay it out and be like “Hey, I really want to mend our relationship. Are you interested in doing that? Because if you are not I would rather know so that we can both find peace.”
I swear every time I check the reviews, a bunch of them are just like kids complaining about stuff they don’t understand or mad that there are IAPs, so they give the dev a lecture on why their business model sucks cause their parents won’t give them money for it
like so many apps
and i see a bunch of these bogus ones, they’re useless
honestly i use AppRaven and I pay 2 bucks a month for premium to get notifications and it’s really nice, I’ve found a ton of neat apps on there and they notify you when stuff is on sale
I didn’t think it would be this nice, but it’s really helpful when browsing All to see quickly which similar-named communities I’m already subscribed to, and to block communities that I already know I’ll want to block without even seeing the sidebar....
I went in pretty skeptical, but I have to say, it's good enough for me to feel comfortable saying it's actually more Futurama. There's a small hump to get over with the voice actors having aged, but unless you're an existing hardcore fan who's listening for it, I think Hermes is the only that sounds noticeably different, but I...
Ok interesting, I noticed Fry’s voice first! It smacked me in the face how familiar but aged he sounded! I’ll have to pay attention to Hermes in the next episode.
Overall, I liked the episode! I thought the topical references toward the beginning were funny.
It felt very fast to me though. Maybe just because it was something new, idk, but it felt like it went by so quick.
I consistently hear people on YouTube complain that the subscribe button doesn’t do anything for viewers, now that channel notifications are controlled by the bell. But it does do something: it puts the videos from that channel in your subscription feed, which is readily accessible on all versions of YouTube. So why do people...
i regularly use the sub tab. i watch youtube on weekends while i clean, so usually on friday i’ll check my home page a few times throughout the day, see if there are any interesting recommendations and save them to my watch later.
then in the evening i do one more home page scroll, then i slowly scroll my subs page and make sure i save anything that looks interesting to my watch later. then i might watch one or two videos from my WL that evening and i watch the rest (or what i can fit in) over the weekend.
I don’t get the point of subbing to a channel if you aren’t checking your subs tab. Like…that’s why it’s there lol bc the home page is a bunch of recommendations
There’s a lot of to-do list apps, reminders, calendars etc out there advertised towards us to help us do things like break down large tasks into meaningful chunks and focus on what we need to do each day, but I want to hear from the community what do you guys think is the best so let’s start a thread
My girlfriend has threatened to break up with me several times now unless I cut down to a pack a week. I’m not addicted but it does help me get through my day. I keep trying to tell her that but she doesn’t believe me and keeps saying that it’s actually bad. I want to prove to my girlfriend that smoking cigarettes is...
As someone who smoked Camels for years and is now just as addicted to vaping, there are no benefits. Zero.
When I smoked cigs, I stank constantly. Even if I sprayed perfume or had a mint. My fingers always smelled.
I did 12 straight years of choir, but now I have a much smaller vocal range. I’m not as active because I get winded. Now that I vape and have constant access, I get cranky after like 30 minutes of no nicotine.
My blood pressure is higher. I can’t be on the type of birth control that gives me less side effects because my smoking makes it higher risk.
I’m raising my risk of cancer. I’m spending a fuckton of money on flavored air.
There is literally no positive and I wish I had never touched it.
I would find it way more logical and accesible to have my bookmarks under profile section where currently there are “posts” and “comments” options to click on. Really confused as of why it is currently being treated as a feed option! Thanks a lot.
What exactly are you referring to when you say Apollo was expensive?
I’ve seen a lot of people express that thought and I’m genuinely wondering what they’re talking about, because I got Ultra when it was introduced (higher than Pro) and I only paid a dollar a month for it, which seems about as cheap as any app goes for IAPs.
Certainly worth it to support all the cool ass features Apollo had. I miss Share As Image.
I think most all of us here on Lemmy are people with technical background. Most of my professional contacts remained using Reddit, Twitter and even excited when Threads launched....
I should begin by mentioning that I am (was) a moderator of three subreddits: one large subreddit, one NSFW subreddit and a medical-related subreddit. After u/spez’s calamitous AMA, I joined Lemmy and haven’t looked back. I am really enjoying the Lemmy/KBin vibe. It is very much an alpha (almost beta) product and the ad...
Communities can be rebuilt, as we’ve seen. There really is no excuse at this point for those mods to not leave and start rebuilding somewhere like Lemmy.
Reddit will never reverse course. Maybe their goal used to be aligned with ours, but now they’re just a massive corporation chasing an ever growing profit.
So I’ve been starting to look further into the Fediverse and using it a lot more than any other part of the internet at this point. I wanna know the reasons why people might prefer Lemmy or Mastodon, I have both but seem to lean towards Lemmy for some reason, but not sure why maybe it’s the simple design and you can find...

where did the downvote button go?
Just noticed yesterday that I can’t downvote anything. Is that an issue with the app or Lemmy itself?
Featured review for an app about stretching. Why can't Apple do better than this when it comes to bogus reviews? (lemmy.world)
I've been thinking of switching over to Voyager, but I heard that Voyager was built on elements from Chrome. As a layman what does this mean?
Is using Voyager giving Chrome an opportunity to harvest user data? I’ll take whatever you know about the Voyager dependence on chrome.
Really enjoying the new long-press feature on communities.

[Bug?] Profile is unable to load, same with inbox, and I can't vote on anything. ):
I know some features are still coming but just in case these are supposed to be working, I wanted to submit this.
