She thinks of the toys as her babies. Do they squeak? That can often trigger that reaction from female cats.

Also more of a punishment, they don’t like Rock Spiders/Pedophiles in Australian prisons anymore than they do in US prisons.

10 years last July almost 400k karma. I’d like to say I left for all sorts of noble reasons to do with awards or API, but mostly I just left because Lemmy is a nicer space to hang out in and reminds me of my early days on the internet with BBSs and the like. On Reddit as an older woman we are constantly made aware it’s not a space where we are really wanted, though there are a lot more of us on there in our own little niches than I think a lot of younger male users realise. So I’m here hoping Lemmy will continue to feel more open to everyone, and if it doesn’t hell I’ll start a server for us old farts.

Top 6 Hours seems to change the most for me so that’s the one I use, I only check out Lemmy a couple of times a day with my morning and afternoon coffees. Active when I want to deep dive into comments. and if I was here all the time then new would be my sort preference.

I have 986 subscriptions, most are small creators that don’t post often. I have notifications for the key ones that I really don’t want to miss.

They’ve been doing this for decades. This isn’t new. They got it so Texas approved the countries textbooks and it all kind of went downhill from there.

Stay at home wife. I used to work as a bookkeeper, now dealing with some health issues. However I am 55 and have used computers since as long as i can remember, I learned how to use punch cards in what you yanks would call middle school. So I don’t work in tech, but it doesn’t bother me to learn new things. Lemmy reminds me of the good old days of BBS and just trying things out to see what stuck.

My mother was a hippy before I was born, marched in every march going when I was a kid. Anti war, greenpeace, Land Rights the works. The last thing she did on her drive to the hospital for what would turn out to be her last time, was post in her postal vote for gay marriage rights. She was 74 years old. You don’t get more conservative as you get older unless you choose to.

Or the voices in his head said they wanted. This doesn’t seem like the actions of a mentally well person.

Meh. Only one party wants to take away my rights or stop my friends from getting married because they’re both women, make birth control illegal, kill people for performing in drag and let 12 year olds get married. . Your idea of “just as bad” is a little strange.

Cooking is fun and you can eat the results. Find a recipe or a dish you’ve always wanted to try that is a little hard for your current cooking level but not impossible and spend a fun afternoon , in my case making chocolate eclairs from scratch. Mine look like turds but taste amazing, can’t wait to try again.

I’m leaning into the theory it’s someone in power in Saudi Arabia. A member of their royal family is heavily invested in Twitter, owns shares and fronted Elon a big chunk of money for Twitter and they would surely like to crack down on social media in pretty much every middle eastern country, what with those pesky women protesting by not wearing their hijabs and protests and riots happening over there in the past decade. The first thing they do when there is trouble is shut down twitter, shutting it down permanently makes things easier for them.

Always better to date someone that thinks you have rights.

I still wear one in crowds. I had a lobe of a lung removed due to a rare cancer. I’ll never be cured, but will slowly loose lung function as airways are blocked. If I’m lucky it’s a disease I die with and not of, so I am treating my lungs like the delicate little flowers they are and fighting to avoid any and all respiratory diseases I can. I am now also queen of the hand sanitiser when out in public. The stuff from Bath and Bodyworks is da bomb, smells like hand cream.

I’m waiting for it to start

Also a lot of us users are older and this isn’t our first social media company failing us.

It would provide more insight than comparing their current figures. When Uber started, if you compared the number of people that got taxis in those first months to Ubers numbers you’d have bet on Uber to be out of business in months.

I follow the Adam Savage school of tool buying, if you are not sure you’re going to use the tool a lot buy a cheap one, by the time it finally “dies” you’ll know if it’s worth investing in better quality.

How many did they have when they were the age Lemmy is now?

But you can’t close your threads account without closing your instagram account.
