  • For me, personally, I will sometimes review information and then make a decision based on that without establishing a strong argument to use with other people. Something like this would be helpful if I feel I'm being challenged by someone but don't have the words.

    It is mildly infuriating​ that this community is STILL being used for actually infuriating​content

    There is an "actually infuriating" community. Go use that for political and other terrible things happening in the world. That is not the purpose of the community. All of that is important but not the point of this community. Go post where it belongs and let me have a break from it here.

    I think I'm up for actually being a mod here if help is desired. I've not done it before but am willing to help if needed.

    Looking for the spelling / translation on a certain Polish word

    Growing up, my dad would point at any boat he saw and said "Yadja boat!" As we grew older, it finally occurred to us to ask what that meant, and he said that "Yadja" meant "there goes", so we all had a good laugh that he was just saying "there goes the boat" for years.

    Time passes and the Internet becomes commonplace. I cannot get a translation of "there goes" that looks anything like "Yadja" even accounting for not really speaking the language. Asking Dad, he doesn't know how it is spelled and, being born and raised in America, doesn't really speak/read Polish.

    So, my questions: is there a word in Polish that sounds kinda like "yadja"? Does it mean "there goes"? Is it some sort of slang or is it completely made up by dear old dad?

    Edit: thanks, all, jedzie it is! It might not be the word that he should have used, but at least we have the answer to what he was trying to say, lol.

    It's mildly infuriating when I'm constantly hit with major political issues in this community when I'm here for mild

    Actually infuriating things are so far outside of the purpose of this community. When I want to read about the terrible things happening in the world, I go read about them. When I'm trying to take a break and refresh my mind, it is aggravating that I'm still forced to view these issues in my fun communities.

    If we aren't going to outright forbid it, could we maybe at least enforce a tag, something like [RI] for really infuriating stuff so that it could be more easily filtered out?

    Is there a way to report posts?

    I can't find the option, if there is one, to report posts that are breaking a communities rules for example.

    Looking for good mind mapping software

    I've used Freemind for a long time, but I'm wondering if there is a recommendation for a more modern version of this? Trying to install on my new PC, it claims me version of Java is old.

    Default feed type missing subscriptions option

    For almost the entire time I've been using Thunder, my default view has been by subscriptions. I'm not sure if something changed and this got deleted, or for new feature was added and didn't taken to account the subscriptions, but I'd like to set it back to that being my default view.

    Looking for a distro to dual boot with Win 11

    I currently have a win 11 machine and would like to dual boot with Linux. Looking at some of the different options, it seems many aren't recommended for dual booting. Are there any that are?

    what's a good way to stick a laser leveler to the wall?

    I have a laser level that I'd like to use for lining up pictures on my wall. I'm doing this by myself otherwise I just have someone else hold it. It has a couple holes in it that look like maybe you could use screws or nails and I'd rather not have to put holes in the wall to do this. Any suggestions?

    A feature request and a bug/optimization

    When you long hold, it gives the option to visit the community and block community. A third option would be to subscribe to the community, since I know there are going to be many I want to just add.

    The other bug/optimization is that, when I followed the link in the Thunder app's about page, it loaded this community as a web page instead of going to the community in the app itself.
