I called this a few weeks ago on reddit and people weren't impressed with my negativity.

I'm sorry, but you can't start a website with:

Lemmy is a selfhosted social link aggregation and discussion platform.

And expect 95% of people to do anything other than close the window.

I don't think it was even that it was rich people.

We recently had the mystery disappearance of Nicola Bulley in the UK that got huge media attention because everyone was playing detective; we've had similar media frenzy over the Chilean miners, the Thai footballers in the cave, the RAF lad who disappeared on a night out (it's thought he climbed into an industrial bin)...

The common thread is that everyone can speculate on whether the subjects will survive or not. 'Migrant boats sinks' stories are focused on too many nameless people and the outcome is too easily predicted for a media frenzy and workplace discussions. People love a bit of speculation.

Unless I'm winning, in which case everyone should know it.

I wasn't bothered about joining here until my app went dark and it made me angry. Fuck 'em.

Was that the one off Argentina? Had forgotten about that - could've put it in my post! More evidence it's the uncertainty that drives public engagement.

8 years again?!

These absolute morons. Keep it up Todd!

I've put my wefwef link in place of my RiF icon and often expect RiF to open when I mindlessly tap it. Just discovered Connect though, which seems like a decent app too.

Just seen an article explaining how we're seriously in for Mbappe. On 800k/wk. I want what they're smoking

I was going to tell you to fuck off in true Reddit style but that doesn't feel very Lemmy. Have a great Saturday my guy.

I think we should sell Partey to Saudi and then go all in on Tchouameni. Shed the drama and sign another wonderkid.

Aldi's beef mega hoops taste like beef Monster Munch and have better texture.

Because you asked.

Lemmymon - gotta catch 'em all!

I think the bench was so long I only saw the first half of it. Turns out he was in the squad after all.

That moment when you get out the sewers and you're like: "Fuck. What do I do? I'm free!"

You make it sound like it isn't already a weekly pilgrimage?!

I think the one in the pic is a juvenile but can't be sure unless I log on (I adopted one myself). There's some other cool anteater-llama creatures on that planet too.

Does anyone know how I can attach multiple images to a post? Seen other people do it but wefwef will only allow me one.

Fear and Trembling by Gang of Youths is equal parts piano led indie, Americana, rock and a bit of punk/emo in the chrous. It also prefaces what is an incredible album.

Bon Iver's 22, A Million is a synth industrial indie folk rock album that I find hard to fit into a genre.

Here is my guide to finding interceptors:

1. Land on a dissonant planet and get out your ship. Choose somewhere with a good vantage e.g. on top of a hill.

2. Get back in your ship and use an Dreadnought AI Fragment.

3. Note carefully the direction the ship is in and study the landscape for landmarks to use later.

4. Fly to the ship, taking note of landmarks on the journey. When you find it, do not land or get out your ship. You can keep an eye on the coordinates, especially if one is rising or falling quickly. If you've flown for a long time (e.g. if the ship was 3 hours + away when stationary) you might want to jot down the coordinates. If you think you can repeat the journey easily, you're golden.

5. Reload your restore point to when you got out your ship.

6. Repeat the journey and find the ship again.

7. Land and get out. Check the class and if it's not good enough, take the hyalin brain to start that ship's mission (if you don't do this, it will just keep pointing you to that ship). Place a comms station/save beacon.

8. Get in your ship and out again.

9. Repeat stages 2-7 to find other copies of different classes.

Just seen Smith-Rowe isn't even in the squad for the quarter final against Portugal. Was going to tune in just to watch him.
