To be fair he did say teenage behavior, and I know I said and did some truly awful shit as a teenager. My parents sacrificed a ton for me, and I was just a petty and ungrateful brat tweeting shit like "a homeless man would be a better dad"

Makes me sick just typing that out and knowing that at one point, I said it with my chest.

I've definitely gone to my parents and apologized for the fucked up stuff I said and some of the worse things I did. Because sometimes it is the kid.

I was depressed, and dealing with undiagnosed anxiety but that's not an excuse to say hateful, cruel things, probably just because they said no to going to the mall or something.

I'm 27 now and my dad and I are just starting to get back to having a normal relationship where we talk about things other than like, my taxes or my car maintenance. We can chat now, and talk like a father and daughter.

So in regards to OP......idk what his situation was but maybe the apology was warranted. But for her to still be digging her heels in........yeah it might be time to just lay it out and be like "Hey, I really want to mend our relationship. Are you interested in doing that? Because if you are not I would rather know so that we can both find peace."

I'm pretty sure at this point he's fully just doing a social experiment

seeing how feral people get the more he changes their addiction app

I swear every time I check the reviews, a bunch of them are just like kids complaining about stuff they don't understand or mad that there are IAPs, so they give the dev a lecture on why their business model sucks cause their parents won't give them money for it

like so many apps

and i see a bunch of these bogus ones, they're useless

honestly i use AppRaven and I pay 2 bucks a month for premium to get notifications and it's really nice, I've found a ton of neat apps on there and they notify you when stuff is on sale

Oh my god I have my entire life and my husband and kiddo's entire life on TickTick.

Every tiny thing I have to do during the day is planned out.. I can't even express how much I love that app.

They meant the asshole commenter was having a mental breakdown. I'm sorry they said that, it's ridiculous.

You're allowed to grieve or distract yourself in any way you want. (I would discourage anything self destructive obviously)

There's absolutely nothing wrong with going online. I'm incredibly sorry for your loss, and I am sending many good thoughts your way. ♡

I wear Fruit of the Loom hipsters (I'm a woman).

Personally I like them bc while the waistband has elastic in it and has stretch, it's not literally an elastic waistband like some underwear.

The material is really soft and comfortable to wear all day long.

I still have "other" undies for special occasions, but day to day I'll rock the hell out of some Fruit of the Loom granny panties. I'm married and my husband doesn't care what he pulls off me, so I'd rather be comfortable lol

i've had the same thought as you.

i regularly use the sub tab. i watch youtube on weekends while i clean, so usually on friday i'll check my home page a few times throughout the day, see if there are any interesting recommendations and save them to my watch later.

then in the evening i do one more home page scroll, then i slowly scroll my subs page and make sure i save anything that looks interesting to my watch later. then i might watch one or two videos from my WL that evening and i watch the rest (or what i can fit in) over the weekend.

I don't get the point of subbing to a channel if you aren't checking your subs tab. Like....that's why it's there lol bc the home page is a bunch of recommendations

Either Cash Cab or Deal or No Deal

I love watching Cash Cab and trying to guess the answers, and I have a DoND app on my phone and I'm not too shabby lol

As someone who smoked Camels for years and is now just as addicted to vaping, there are no benefits. Zero.

When I smoked cigs, I stank constantly. Even if I sprayed perfume or had a mint. My fingers always smelled.

I did 12 straight years of choir, but now I have a much smaller vocal range. I'm not as active because I get winded. Now that I vape and have constant access, I get cranky after like 30 minutes of no nicotine.

My blood pressure is higher. I can't be on the type of birth control that gives me less side effects because my smoking makes it higher risk.

I'm raising my risk of cancer. I'm spending a fuckton of money on flavored air.

There is literally no positive and I wish I had never touched it.

agreed!! i like that in google maps i can add little notes to places in my lists

apple is so bare bones on that front, even just allowing a header and simple notes on each item would go a long way

that's fair lol

Communities can be rebuilt, as we've seen. There really is no excuse at this point for those mods to not leave and start rebuilding somewhere like Lemmy.

Reddit will never reverse course. Maybe their goal used to be aligned with ours, but now they're just a massive corporation chasing an ever growing profit.

ok no one cancel me but i think i like it better than memmy, and ive been stuck on memmy for weeks now

it reminds me of alien blue from years ago!! i'm really excited to dig in and start using it!!

edit: i did have to change the icon bc as a woman, a pink bean looks like a vaguely sexual app lol so i picked tutti frutti

I'm non tech.

I just work as essentially an administrative assistant in a real estate-esque office making $20 an hour.

Just a married woman in her 20s who is sick of Reddit's shit.

Lemmy feels like Reddit to me and Mastodon feels more like twitter

so to me they're both decentralized versions of popular social media

i just think of them as my new reddit and twitter since those companies are sitting at their desks jerking it all day

There are actually 3 lol

Absolutely agree.

Memmy is now in the same revered spot that Apollo was, and I feel like all the constant updates and finding new communities has been so exciting that it eases the pain of losing apollo

What you describe as the "issue" is the entire point of lemmy and decentralizing and all that.

once lemmy starts dictating "oh you have to change things in this community in this instance to match this instance" and "everything has to follow one master set of rules" they become reddit.

honestly the best way to solve your issue would just be multireddits, if you wanna see content from both communities just add it to a multilem or whatever they end up calling it.

better than supporting reddit

i would rather deal with a few incredibly minor inconveniences

tbh i have a roof over my head and food in my mouth, so i haven't really thought about the number of swipes i have to make in an app, it just isn't that important

i'm more happy that i have a beautiful client to browse an alternative to reddit

i'll sit here happily and patiently while the devs carve out their path lol
