Is mastodon ,or the fediverse in general, growing?

I sin and still use reddit. Lately I've seen an increase of users there suggesting them to come here when unpopular changes are happening to reddit. Those comments are normally quite high up with a lot of discussion surrounding it so I assume it is attracting some of them to come here. When this place has enough content for my feed I'll eventually ditch reddit but in the meantime I'll still use both.

'One Piece' review: Netflix does the impossible

I'm not a massive fan of the original but still somewhat enjoyed what I saw. I think I got a few seasons in before my interest faded.

I just watched the first episode of the live action and initially it felt very weird and wasn't really a big fan. I stuck to it and honestly it really grew on me and like how they handled it. Definitely gonna watch the rest when I get the chance.

Took my teenage daughter to a sellout arena concert for a band she likes. This photo from the venue accurately represents the audience demographic.

I remember seeing dragonforce in this small venue quite some time ago, we didn't really get bands like that where I lived. It was pretty cool as we had a smoke with the drummer during the intermission out front. I only really knew one of their songs as I was a massive guitar hero fan but it was totally worth it just for that.

What build do you enjoy playing as the most?

I started a katana build but once I got Johnny's pistol I specced into that as well because the reload animation is cool, i know other revolvers are stronger but i dont care as long as i look good. No hacks as I use slow time, hipfire the pistol and bring out my katana for enemies that dodge bullets or use it defensively if I get overwhelmed with firepower. I think my spread is 20 reflex, 20 tech, 20 cool, 18 body and 3 intel. For me it's very fun.

Diablo 4 tried to repackage Diablo 2's grind for the modern era, but series overseer Rod Fergusson says the "consumptive nature of a live service" made it unfeasible

It's funny you mention your first skills (basic skills) are just filler because this season some of the meta builds use basic skills as the main damage dealer so you don't need to even think about resource regen as they don't use it. Rogue and Sorcerer both have their best builds use the basic skills and work around them. There's still a lot to be desired with balancing and endgame but I feel they are turning things around gradually.

If you couldn't help, who can?

That's how it works with the pain. There's no nerves inside the spine and when it slips it pushes on the nerves outside of it.

Think of a donut, if you push on one side of it the jam will spill out of the other side. Your discs between your vertabrea are similar so force on one side eventually will push the middle of the disc out the opposite side onto the nerves. This happens over time with bad forms with anything like lifting, with no warning until it happens.

It can heal as the "jam" can go back into the middle but the path it took doesn't heal so it's easy to do it again. If it's really bad and doesn't heal you might need surgery to fuse your vertabrea together, maybe the one above and below. That's why it's important to lift properly and try not to twist your body with weight, move your feet in line with you or in the direction your going.

What's the quickest way to learn Spanish?

Reply in thread

Wow thank you for this. I started using duolingo about a month ago and already see some improvement and was eventually going to start watching things like kids programs in spanish when I felt more comfortable with the basics. But now you’ve commented this I feel I can use dreaming spanish alongside duolingo to really help me, as after briefly watching one of the clips it really emphasis things which will help immensely.
