It reminds me of the property manager at my first apartment, back in 1990. She spelled her name "K'ren", and I assumed it was pronounced either Karen, or kuh-Ren. Nope. It was "KAAAAYYY-WRREE-NNN", three syllables in her very southern accent. The stress was on both of the first two syllables. 😂️
I've been trying out several userscripts for Kbin recently, which have made the website way more enjoyable than it already was. I wanted to share them with my fellow Kbin users....
I tried looking around for a changelog but I couldn't find one anywhere (let me know if you know where it is, I know you can look at the commits/merged PRs on Codeberg but there's a lot to dig through)....
I used to be devoted to Huy Fong sriracha, but once they screwed over their grower, I started looking for alternatives. I really love Healthy Boy brand, but I can't find their red any more. I have a bottle of Healthy Boy black sriracha, which has tamarind in it, which is good, but different. A friend picked me up a bottle of Ox Brand sriracha, which I actually think is better than Huy Fong, too.
I also tried the Underwood Ranches sriracha, but it just didn't do it for me, though their Roja sauce is delicious.
There used to be a water park in my hometown that had a bunch of slides and a wave pool. I used to go there all the time as a kid, and even went there as a senior on a trip. I went to birthday parties there, sometimes....
The World Of Sid And Marty Krofft in Atlanta. It was a mindfuck of an indoor amusement park located in what's now CNN Center. Granted, it was only open for six months in 1976, but I was able to go, and as a six year-old kid, it was amazing.
Give Daniel's excellent work on PixelFed, I have no doubt his kbin app will be great, as well. (Though a large part of me really wishes someone could convince Christian to rework Apollo to work with kbin/lemmy.)
If you are usually a reddit lurker and are on here, it would be cool if you can try and engage with communities for a bit, just to try and get the ball rolling :)
I've been a long time Redditor and an Apollo user for about a year. I even paid for it. The main draw for me was the lack of advertising. In the back of my head I kept thinking that it couldn't last. Reddit is losing revenue from the lack of advertising views. It didn't...
Once my reddit gold ran out from buying Alien Blue, I've been paying for it ever since, since I wanted the site to succeed, and I never saw any of the ads. It felt like the right thing to do, but once all this shit with spez being a total dick went down, I cancelled my autopay, so it won't renew again.
I'm so sick of her and that other screeching harpy, Marjorie Taylor Greene. They seriously need to be voted out, but I have driven through Marjorie's district, and those hillbillies fucking love her up there, based on the number of signs for her and Trump.
I want to preface, if you see a mistake in the image or have something helpful to add, go right ahead! I still have the layered files for this, so edits can be made very quickly. I chose to handwrite the text to avoid font copyright infringement....

Loving the new updates, but what all has changed?
