Texas could get a 205-mph bullet train zipping between Houston and Dallas

But you could add some truck nuts behind every train car and some bull horns on the front.

Don't give me a reason to go to Starbucks, damn it!
Reply in thread
Or just at least mid coffee. I live in a coffee producing country, and I've tried everything from really expensive coffee to bottom of the barrel, both local and from abroad. The only cup of coffee I sipped and spat out was a Starbucks in Houston.

Theory: the only reason Meta cares about the fediverse / ActivityPub is so that threads isn't labeled a "gatekeeper" under the EU's new "Digital Markets Act"

If as much as 10% of Instagram signs up for threads they'd be as big as twitter. Threads could gobble up a lot of the incoming population of the fediverse and once they have enough people, defederate from everyone else, limiting the available content to non-corpo instances. Defederating from threads is of paramount importance for the well being of the fediverse.

What did "that one" person do to you which made you cut them out of your life?
Reply in thread
OP didn't cut off her mum because of her identity, they did so because their mum didn't respect them or their wishes. Have a good day, dude, you're a lost cause.

Hey that term is derisive. They prefer the name "quijote".

lemmy users who have achived their dreams/goal, how did you do it?
I had 1 goal. 7y ago I tried to buy an express ticket to thoughts and prayers but the gun jammed. Good thing too, .22 HP probably would've only blown my face off. Made a deal with myself, get better within 7y or try again. I'm back in the gym, doing therapy, finished my degree, and getting to know myself better. Still between jobs but... Hey, can't have everything. Trying to emigrate but that's a bit beyond the horizon atm. That's the next goal.

Spain's conservatives miss out on all-out victory as left celebrates
Not spanish, correct me if I'm wrong: conservative/alt right majority was narrowly avoided by socialists and there might be a second round of elections soon?

Do people just not use the YouTube subscription feed?
The one thing I hate about the sub feed is that I can't seem to filter out shorts. I have no interest in shorts, and they make up more than half of my feed.

Pill containers for one day is also good. Stick whatever you need to take in there in the morning, go about your day. If you have pockets you'll feel it there and remember to check.
I still manage to forget to take the green pill come noon sometimes though.

what do you do when you find out none of it means anything?
You start to live out of spite. If we don't mean jack shit to the world and there is no grand plan or purpose for our existence, fuck it, find your own just to spite the nothingness.
In all honesty, I was there (sort of) a couple years ago, started reading philosophy and it kinda helped. Went from stoicism, to nihilism, and landed on absurdism.

What is your most controversial opinion?
Not controversial with politically literate people, but bigots, fascists, racists, homophobes, transphobes, etc., shouldn't get a platform to spew their shit. Public or private, doesn't matter. And any effort by them to acquire one needs to be put down.
It shocked me when my friends pushed back when I explained why Rogan shouldn't have those people on his show with a freeze peach argument. Those people deserve nothing but a sock full of batteries.

I'm SzPD and not from the states. Had to go through Houston last year on a connection flight, when I first saw those tablets in the airport I thought it would've been the bees knees. Thing is, those things are so overloaded with useless shit (like ads) I just wanted to talk to a waiter. So many clicks to get to the main courses on offer, and there wasn't any available space for notes, in case a costumer had a specific need (allergies for example). Plus, signal was so damn slow it took a while for it to load the dishes' pictures.
No contact ordering has potential but it needs UX designers on top of the whole thing in order to make it more convenient and faster than just telling the waiter what you want.

Does anyone actually enjoy working out?
I enjoy the simplicity of weightlifting. Make sure your form is good, count reps, count sets, take note of the weight lifted. All of that keeps my mind occupied for 2h, no room for it to wander into topics I'd rather not think about atm.
I also find some measure of joy out of knowing I'm lifting more today than I was last week, it's simple and measurable progress. No room for subjective bias, unlike other things I'm trying to improve upon.
It also has the added benefit of tiring me out. GAD and ADHD make for horrible bedfellows, they've made nights sleepless for me more often than not, so I'll take any help I can get.
Edit: otoh, I hate cardio with a passion. Its boring and does nothing but make me sweat and lets my mind wander. I've tried everything, from music, to audiobooks, to podcasts. Plus, I feel like I run loudly, like my feet are made of lead, and I don't like being loud.
