Reddit doesn't need to be destroyed in order for Lemmy to succeed. There is plenty of room on the internet for multiple communities.

Since RiF shut down I haven't logged into Reddit but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't even tempted. I'm giving Lemmy a fair shake for enough time to get used to it before I make any determination.

I really don't want to have to use the Reddit app...

I like the constitution because I don't want Matt Gaetz to be able to propose whatever nonsense he wants. It's not a perfect document, but it enshrines certain fundamental protections that really shouldn't be fucked with.

It's even worse than that because once you see that you just know that all they did was add the ability to mix and match ending tidbits like a damn sectional sofa and let math do all the work.

You can get to 16,000 different endings with something as small as 8 different unlockable characters that each have a unique ending.

Even that wouldn't stop a stubborn narcissist.

No it isn't. Reporting on allegations and other newsworthy topics is literally the joirnalists' jobs. They aren't liable for libel or slander as long as they are reporting in good faith. And almost by definition reporting on something someone else said is in good faith as long as you think that they think it's true.

Two days is nothing compared to the misery that would come from either a compromised server or a botched upgrade.

He needs to seriously consider his next professional move. His entire lifeline was kicked out from under him.

Lemmy is too small for him to reasonably capitalize on. So I'm not surprised he is in a wait-and-see mode on that one.

Many places have a classic resource that is full of free books that are funded by the government called libraries. You should check them out.

I respectfully disagree. If you want to compare orders of magnitude, you should use a logarithmic scale.

This is, quite frankly, a very poor assumption depending on where you are getting your drugs from. For example, Dr. Reddy in India is the equivalent of buying a "Channel" knock off purse from China. It looks like the real thing, it might even somewhat function like the real thing. But it some serious flaws.

European drugs, alternatively, are often literally the exact same drug for cheaper because the EMA is much stricter about pricing. But there are also laws that prevent exporting it from EU countries just as there are laws preventing importing into the US. Because international trade is not open.

Try to find some closely related topic that you find interest in that he can relate to. Maybe old music or some other electronics topic. Then your son can meet you in the middle.

I've found that I've been enjoying Archery Tag, also sometimes called Archery Games as a fun replacement for laser tag. It's basically dodgeball but with marshmallow tipped bows and arrows. Shits fun and great exercise.

Ive always been saying a line from a movie that even I didn't remember the movie:

"We're walking... We're walking..."

I had to look it up when a friend asked what movie it was from.

Do people really not remember Ren and Stimpy? Maybe younger folks but I assume that's most references that are older than them.

I don't have any experience with creating a Kickstarter but I do have some experience with both playtesting board games and with proofreading board game manuals. If you need an extra pair of eyes or another players perspective, I'd be happy to lend some help.

I am commenting more but I will never find it easy to post. Way too much emotional commitment for me.

It would be the same for any self replicating thing. Bacteria, viruses, fungi, and prions, but they replicate. I will grant you a single large parasite could do this, but at that point, we're talking about tigers and such as a technicality as well.

None of the things you've listed here are single molecules except for the prion. A single cell, even for simple organisms, is made up of millions of proteins. Viruses come close, but are still made up of the nucleus and the capsid.
