  • Online Dating (2 questions)

    Jump

  • In my experience, the matching part doesn't really mean anything other than the conversation between the two of you is now possible. Both of you need to participate in that conversation. And it needs to go well if it means you'll have a date. The statistics are not great for men, and nothing is organic about the process, so you just have to protect your feelings and understand that if they don't talk to you, or if it doesn't go well, it can be for any number of reasons.

    Try your best to not get frustrated, because each individual person is doing their own thing, it's not you versus all potential matches. You are you. They are them. It just doesn't work out sometimes

  • What's the first thing you'd do with a Star Trek holodeck?

    Jump

  • I would want to do so many things. I would want to do a ninja warrior type course, but with adjusted gravity or something. I'd make it into a gym with everything I need for my workout. That or maybe recreate a sports stadium and watch football from today, because I missed all of it? The possibilities are endless

  • How long did it take you to get used to glasses?

    Jump

  • I started needing glasses when I was 13. I couldn't see the writing on the chalkboard any more. My eyes have slowly gotten worse since then and nowadays I need them all the time. It's still an adjustment every time I get a new pair, but you get used to it real quick

    What are the most unhinged cartoons in your expert opinion?

    Jump

  • Freakazoid was unhinged and spastic in a way I haven't seen since

    What are the most unhinged cartoons in your expert opinion?

    Jump

  • As I recall, aeon flux started in the United States on mtv as part of its "liquid television" block in the early 90s. Back when the station was owned by viacomm, same as Nickelodeon. It shared several voice actors with Rugrats too

  • Band Camp urinals sure have changed

    Jump

  • To me, that looks like a baritone with rotary valves as opposed to piston type valves. It seems like the right size, and the piping is cylindrical, as opposed to conical.

  • What subreddit are you trying to replace on Lemmy that needs pumping up?

    Jump

  • I miss the random passion of /r/CFB. It was great because all of the toxicity normally in sports was gone, and everyone was just enjoying the game and news about their teams. In the off-season people would concoct the most convoluted, elaborate shitpost for why their team is the best. I think my favorite essay was once about how the Alabama Crimson Tide's greatest enemy wasn't any other team, but the full moon, and went into a heavy statistical data dive to demonstrate how the teams few losses (they were seriously on an unprecedented run for over a decade) all came on or around the full moon. That and the team are the Tide, so of course it's the moon.

    That type of energy focuses on college football is lacking in Lemmy, and I haven't found something similar here yet

  • are you permanently banned off reddit? or do you just like lemmy more?

    Jump

  • This puts into words what I've been feeling more and more over the years. I felt that Reddit had developed some sort of language all its own (thanks for the gold kind stranger, happy cakeday, etc), that felt off to me. On top of that, the sensationalism, and the ever increasing political echo chambers, and then closing the API access to force everyone onto their own app out the final nail in the coffin for me. I'm not off reddit entirely, but I've gone read only and only on a computer. Lemmy seems more organic, and genuine to me

  • Does Lemmy have an ghost community problem?

    Jump

  • Pardon my reddit jargon, but there is a Lemmy equivalent to a sub for "would anyone be interested in X topic?" That might be a good way to help. It also makes another community for people to adopt and use, though, which is the problem you're describing

  • Is there a way to have a less depressing Lemmy experience?

    Jump

  • I do think it's important to keep up to date. Even discounting the things I can't control getting through my filters, there have been things that have directly affected my family and their jobs because of things Trump has done and I did not know about until after the fact. There is a line somewhere that you should be aware of, or else you may just be burying your head in the sand.

    Separately, I use boost for Lemmy on android. Thank you for telling me about tesseract. I haven't been as successful with any keyword filters in browser

  • Is there a way to have a less depressing Lemmy experience?

    Jump

  • I've taken a bit of a different approach. I've been using a keyword filter to remove posts that contain any words I don't care to read about. So no posts about trump, Elon, RFK, cyber trucks, etc.

    I am not here to get that kind of news, I do that separately with the news sources I can trust and verify. Otherwise any tabloid or sensational opinion piece can potentially try to ruin my day all in the name of getting clicks

  • I just finished watching Voyager... again

    Jump

  • At this point when I re-watch Voyager, I tend to skip the episodes that don't interested my. In my opinion, Voyager has issues with consistency, that I believe comes from fatigue in the formula the series' in the (80s/90s/00s) used. There are some very high highs (message in a bottle, scorpion, blink of an eye) but equally low lows (threshold, any ireland based holodeck episode. Neelix and Kess stories). So its worth it for the ones you enjoy, but don't sweat the bad ones - unless you want to watch everything

  • Those who live outside of the US, what's something Americans aren't ready to hear?

    Jump

  • As an American. Hard agree. I long for a first past the post voting system reform

  • I Tried To Visit Every Single Railway Station In Liechtenstein | The Tim Traveller

    Jump

  • I'm planning a trip to Liechtenstein next year, so this is incredibly relevant for me right now. Thank you for sharing!

  • Software for creating music sheets

    Jump

  • Noteworthy composer has a free edition that I've used before. It was somewhat basic, but it gets the job done

  • The White Lotus Season 3 | Official Teaser

    Jump

  • I'm sad that Jennifer coolidge won't be back, but this looks so good. Ive also really been enjoying Walton Goggins recently

  • Despite our differences in social upbringing, nationality, language, religion, etc... We all agree in 1 thing, that Die Hard is a Christmas Movie, right?

    Jump

  • It's about a man at a Christmas party that has gone incredibly wrong. It's a Christmas movie

  • I want to learn how to code

    Jump

  • I always recommend https://automatetheboringstuff.com/ as it helps teach you python basics, as well as learning some coding fundamentals. Its free at the website, while offering a book version you can purchase. I have been coding in python professionally for 5 years, but I started with these tutorials (after doing a non-python coding bootcamp that focused on full stack web development)

  • are there any Lemmy clients in Android that allow for filtering out posts based on key words?

    Jump

  • I just downloaded it! So far it's easy to pick up
