what's the deal with a bunch of lemmy.world subs being abandoned by its mods and founders?

Great, I'll be expecting your participation in /skincare, weddingplanning, engagementrings, kpopthoughts, indiemakeupandmore, ...

The issue is that some of them already have instances, but only 1 sub so I'd be talking to myself all day long

The female userbase is virtually non-existent and until that changes I'm forced to stay on Reddit for relevant news and financial advice.

People act like they're being forced to use Sync when there are decent alternatives. Sync just happens to currently have the best layout/user interface with tons of customisation.

Whether or not that's worth paying money for is up to each individual but I can't stand the constant complaining. Either deal with ads or don't use it if you don't like it 👍

You don't even have to see it in a sexual way. People like boxing and MMA. Or getting into bar fights for fun. It makes your body release adrenaline and other hormones that give you a natural high.

I love extremely spicy food that almost makes you want to tap out. But I'm Asian so might be cultural

So Americans reject logic because... feelings?

Get with the program, every other country historically used different ways of measuring things and eventually managed to make the switch.

Keep in mind China has a much tighter family structure where children look after their elderly parents (and often live under the same roof), and in return grandparents provide free childcare so both parents are able to work full time. Nursing homes are not incredibly common but it might become a bigger problem as more and more young people move away from their family in the countryside to work in the bigger cities.

Pretty good. My mum's living in Shanghai (most populous city in China) and has been a pensioner for 20 years. It's enough money to get by and now that she's 70 she also receives monthly coupons for her neighbourhood canteen (although food is already very cheap)
