I think a prime example of hexbear wholesomeness is their trans megathreads: https://hexbear.net/post/3363552

They even have a community to help each other out: [email protected]

I do see Lemmy.world running into issues in the future

I think lemmy.world is already pretty bad. To get away from their posts and comments I've considered joining hexbear, since you people honestly have the best content and most wholesome community and aren't federated with .world, but I also don't want to be completely isolated from the rest of the fediverse. However, I just noticed there are only 5 instances in hexbear's blocked instance list and plenty in the linked list. Maybe I didn't notice how all other instances started federating with hexbear again?

I don't know what the "allowed" instance list means though.

That would work for the perimeter, but not for the area.

Yeah, the mushroom guides I use in the pages for the edible mushrooms normally alert to dangerous mushrooms that may be mistaken for that mushroom and outlines the differences.

Hover-over text of ExistentialComics' comic:

Some people have called Plato the first totalitarian thinker, but if you look at what Democracy is producing these days it's hard to not think he had a bit of a point...

And text beneath comic:

Also, my Dad is trying to raise some money for a surgery, I already posted this before and we met the goal, but then he contracted dengue fever so the surgury had to get delayed, so we are trying to raise a little more money to cover those expenses. If you could spare a few dollars it would really help.

As for Plato, he criticized democracy heavily, claiming that it gave people too much freedom, and if anyone could be elected by the ignorant masses, it would be too possible for selfish people who only wanted power and wealth to get into power. Democracy, ironically, would inevitably lead to tyranny and demagogues. He thought a better system would be for the wisest, most virtuous, and most selfless people to govern society, which of course would be philosophers like himself. How this system was immune to corruption is a little unclear to me, but given what's going on with democracies lately you can probably at least say he has some good points.

I don't get the banana trick. What do I do after pinching? I just end up ripping through the skin of one while trying it out.

Or just always look at the 100g column.

I thought Mordor is part of it?

You can search for communities across all federated instances by clicking on "All" in the communities page: https://lemmy.ml/communities?listingType=All

Will a vegan hot dog probably not be as tasty as the real thing? Yeah

I actually find the vegan alternatives taste better than the meat based ones (I'm thinking primarily about burgers, the vegan hotdogs/sausages I tried some years ago were borderline inedible).

GPS inaccuracies.

I do hear them if they are large enough, in high enough numbers and if I have my ear close enough, but it isn't a hum that I hear. I hear what I imagine are them walking or the stuff they carry.

 

People who struggled with procrastination and have now stopped, what made you stop procrastinating? What do you think were the factors leading or contributing to your past procrastination and how did you stop or improve the situation?

Please don't answer with the "I'll tell you later" joke.
