@tek #ThatAmericanMoment when you just need to flit about your states and cities to explore authentic world cuisine and cultures rather than having to get grilled for visa interviews...which i think anyways all countries are like "come come bring dollars!"
@dpreacher I live within a short commute of many amazing cuisines. The Mexican food a couple miles away? Lifechangingly good. 🤤

Years ago Reddit had a sister site called Reddit secret Santa where Redditors could sign up to be matched with other Redditors as an online global secret Santa and you could write down your interests, likes/dislikes, hobbies, fav shows, movies, food etc.
It was pretty neat, I ended up with a lot of foreign nic-nacks and snacks because I would sign up for worldwide all the time

Sounds like a great summary of the reddit experience.

I signed up for the Reddit secret Santa once like a decade ago. Spent a bunch of time researching what to get, and made a really thoughtful gift bag of candy and toys from Western Canada based on what my recipient told me he liked.
The person who got me as their recipient sent me a $5 Amazon comic book for a video game I’ve never played. It looked and felt like the grocery store fliers you get in the mail.
Oh and whoever I sent my gift to claimed he never received it.

@ai6yr Here in New Hampshire FREE stuff is just put at the end of your yard, most often as not without adding a sign. This morning I noticed a yard had the actual sign:
“Please bring back the bench and lights I had on my lawn!”
@jerzone Oops

You have to let go of the past. You can enjoy your memories, but you can never re-live them.
@jemostrom I've been using DownCast forever, it's nice, mainly for large numbers of podcasts, smart playlists, setting different keep-episodes rules by podcast. UI's fine, it's very old-iOS style. It does sync to desktop & between devices, but I haven't used that much so I dunno how well.
@mdhughes thanks, I will check it out
I love imaginary boobies
I've boosted this because.... well I don't know why but I just did
Great British Snake Off. Willies.
@TheBreadmonkey Is...is this some kind of Freudian thing?
@riotmuffin For decades bookfairs were organized by an aging generation of boomers who were staunch "but free speech and pluralism" sorts, and thus they'd continually let in some dude tabling literal nazis or like pro-Israel shit or anti-feminist shit either for wingnut reasons or "to make a point" and this led to a lot of the conflicts as folks took out the trash for ourselves. I feel like there's been a generational turnover where folks are more willing to draw lines (however imperfectly).
@rechelon yeah, i think - although i haven't been to any bookfairs in the last few years in order to gather evidence on this - that there is definitely a higher understanding that tankies and other ne'er do wells ought not be welcome at such events. although the drama can be entertaining from afar, this is surely on the whole a good thing :D
@tek why would you hide good food like this?!
@dpreacher I’m trying to tell the world!
Just a quiet word - as I boosted a silly joke of someone I'm very fond of earlier, opening them up to a bit of a shitty take. And someone else I'm very fond of posted about blocking people with shitty takes and had a shitty response in return. Let me be clear - I realise I reach a lot of people comparatively on this site - and I am not down with that sort of thing. I do not care about followers or clout. I do care about the people here. If you feel like you have to admonish people in some way, without having any basis of understanding of who they are or their motivations, please take pause enough to either try to understand their story, and consider whether YOUR response might be shitty. Even if you think it might be well-intentioned. And I would be grateful if you don't follow me. I'm not a joke or meme account. I don't post stuff because I want to be widely popular. This is my community and I care very deeply about it. We're all trying to pull in the same direction and you thinking you're a big hero and being shitty to people who actually are, makes you look ignorant and harms this very sacred space for many. X
@TheBreadmonkey
Well said Fred ... I mean, Ben.
I feel that same way. ❤️
Not sure what happened but I fully agree with you. This is our safe place to be silly and friendly without harassment.
Today, for the first time since I set it, perhaps a year ago, a coworker noticed that the pronoun on my Slack profile is “Sir”.
Sorry, the app encountered an unexpected error
