I think they mean for the parts of the day where we aren’t all angry dads. You know, bedtime and the such…

Right on. Well look, I hope it’s a great trip for you guys. Travel safe and vacation hard!

I think I’d be a little less creeped out if it was an Etsy link. I’m not against promotion, but when it involves my kids, I’m super suspicious and protective. Also that link the way it is, isn’t one I’d let them visit.

Edit: or even less creepy, if you could share your store name and just say search for us on Etsy or something. Direct links from unvetted sources is a security no-no.

It’s also hella creepy. If someone handed this to my kid at Disney World, it would likely be straight into the garbage. This is step 1 on how people get malwared/defrauded, and/or abducted.

I recognize your intentions are likely pure, but it’s the world we live in. If you really want to hand stuff out, IMO you should skip the link.

No need to lie, yous about to shank-a-bitch!

Why does this matter? Do we need to appease the shareholders or something? Do we need endless month over month growth, lest the world completely stops turning?

Do we need SYNERGIES??!!!?

Reddit allowed their communities to get shifted to the poles. My local community is the exact opposite, it’s so far to the left that it’s painful. The extreme poles of either side of the political spectrum are just as painful as the other.

Here we just chat. Left right square circle triangle, doesn’t seem to matter. The threads and interactions on here seem to be with people that are most like me, and not so much with the Ultra Hardcore MAGA bros, or the basement dweller 40 year old virgin social assistance crowd. Can’t say the same for Reddit. Glad they have a place too, hopefully they stay there.

I treat Reddit like I treat twitter. When something happens, I look at it to get a read on the situation, or what people are saying or whatever. But I otherwise totally ignore it now.

A year ago, I couldn’t go an hour without looking at Reddit.

If anything, I feel a lot more calmer and more at peace when reading Lemmy threads. I find the people here are the reasonable ones, and all the other maggots seemed to stay on Reddit. Which I’m super ok with.

Now and then you’ll see someone who just goes thermonuclear on the first response to one of their comments, but they are far and few between. They all seem to eventually go back to Reddit, thankfully. Maybe because they can’t get the endorphin rush that they crave here.

This period of peace won’t probably last long, but I’m enjoying it while I can.
