I went through a series of events in 2009 and 2010 (a year and 3 months) that resulted in literally 90ish % of my life gone or ruined… And had to recover. Ever since then ive adopted the Pheonix name with some extension. Sorta literally risen from the fire (house I lived in towards the end of my time in college burned down, the second of the 3 events).

I spell it wrong because i always liked it. More that way.

Not the most positive or fun of stories… But im here and standing still… So its something??

Thats incorrect. It means managed democracy prevailed again… Against all odds. You may have to report to the nearest Super Earth civilian center for reeducation.

Lol. Thats cute. Because what happens in one country… Could never happen in another? Expand your thoughts.

Yesterday night I suddenly had network issues snd had to reboot the pc. Just that game had technical issues. After that it was fine.

Today though, my brothers were playing earlier and couldnt enter a new round. They kept having connection issues and mission would cancel. Eventually they both reset their pcs. So that was new for us.

Later in the evening I suddenly and randomly flew stupid high into the sky… And fellto my death. Fun.

I didnt encounter a lot of the issues others complained about. So for me this new patch has made more issues. May need another patch.

American here. This really makes me think twice before supporting a local business. Its not really something i have thought of or considered before. Independant book stores tend to be more liberal. But i see otherwise here. Wow.

In the last year alone I pulled a siatic nerve… Burned my stomach (small scar) and broke the left most bone in my left foot in 3 places and barely dodged surgery as it is… So not great?

Word. Its getting old fast. I just want to find Reddits replacement, a place for current and less accessable news and random funny nonsense. Not read post after post about how reddits failing or not failing. I dont care. I left.

I hope Lemmy becomes more like it, not its antagonist.

Agreed. That is better described what i meant. Lol.

Its interesting to see how similar all of humanity is. Not trying to hijack your post, just relate. I grew up and wss confirmed Catholic and became an Atheist in college and never looked back. I still get questions and confusion over my atheist background and people often will say just try reading the bible again or ask how can i be an Atheist, what will happen to me when i die, or other similar questions.

I dont go around questioning why people are religious or how they can believe in something that from an outside perspective, just seems so unrealistic.

It is what it is. Just wanted to add another similar comparitive light to your frustrations.

Hope you are well.

Same for me. Once RIF died my time with Reddit died as well. But i really try not tongo back, but sometimes some answers are only easily found there.

So i watched this movie as a kid. Watching it in bku ray i noticed how almost purposely it looks fake inmmat moments but like to its benefit. In 4k its geninuely beautiful. And its just… A classic.

Thats interesting. We do the same thing with phones now. Lol.

Like others have noted, between being a growing platform and the exodus of Reddit, theres bound to be a influx of users… Internet users. The worst…

I came here from Reddit, unable to support the site any longer. I to am see changes from when i started (initially visiting before creating an account a few months ago) and there are some changes already. But you get some good to. A better diversity of posts and more interesting things. But also ass hats. The good.ajd bad of the internet. Still. I do feel this site, at least for bow, is far less toxic then reddit… Or 4chan (lol). So… It is what it is?

We need to make the best of lemmys, and maybe we can encourage the positive over the ass hattery. (fairly certain thats a word, yea).

Lol… Wow. Its a trip to see what we thought we be future proof back then.

Thank you. Gave up Reddit when Reddit Is Fun (RIF) died. Found Lemmings. Wait a few weeks and now here I am. I have to admit the different instances and this federation thingy, a lot to learn though it feels.more background stuff that Reddit may have had but we just didnt notice. Appreciate the post and happy to be here. Cheers!
