How do I know whether my instance has these filters applied or not? And if rimu is putting "deliberately misleading error messages", how can I be sure of anything?

Oh, Tony's is European? I've been trying to cut it down but you leave me no choice but to keep supporting them...

Nah... the problem is not the vacation "overseas" but the amount of domestic flights that could have been avoided if we had a proper (fast, cheap, comfortable) rail network.

How many flights do we have between, e.g, Boston-New York, LA-San Francisco, Dallas-Houston, Chicago-any city in the midwest? Thousands of flights that are less than 3 hours in duration, but we have to take it by plane. Maaaybe some of them could be made by bus, but buses are slow and super cramped.

Now imagine if we had good train service. Even if we were not talking about bullet trains, if you count the time it takes to board/deboard + the time it takes to get to airport to the city, there is a good chance that the train travel would take less total time.

This is why I have my most personal conversations on the bus.

Did you carry water as well?

People only get "less addicted" if they want to or if they are getting their dopamine from some healthier alternatives. If you meet your friends and they all prefer to scroll IG for 1h instead of talking with each other, you need to find more more interesting things to do together.

I was hoping to see a page with the list of instance rules. Mastodon and PixelFed seem to have one.

What is a "low-quality community",.something arbitrarily decided by the instance admin?

Tax the profits of the entire company, not the products, or they’ll simply raise the price of the products and achieve the same result.

What's the difference? If you tax the profits, companies will have to either increase the price to make up for the lost margin, or stop selling the product, and focus on higher-margin products.

The problem with "good food" is not the cost to make it. It's distribution and shelf-life. If processed food were taxed in the same way as alcohol or cigarettes, you can bet that the industry will very quickly find a way to make "whole foods" more accessible.

Help a brother out... Wnat is the name?

Automatically, I mean. Is there an app that lets me read reddit stuff and post to the equivalent fediverse communities?

He was playing on a busted ankle since the WCF and without him the Spurs wouldn't go through OKC.

What I want is a way to read content from the different places and then share stuff here.

If it's really only 3 minutes in the hour, maybe it's not so bad after all? If you are annoyed by the behavior, maybe just look for a way to nudge them out of it. Tell them that the first to reach for their phones has to pay the next round. You don't get to be preachy about it, but it forces them to be conscious about the habit.

I like the idea for "managing conflict", but to me it seems that the other measures are more of "fight fire with fire" type of thing. Things don't have to be so polarizing and polarized.

I don't think so. The stats were already showing that the team would perform better when he was on the bench.

Would this work like a custom ROM or like a linux distro?

I've tried it, but it only does the easy half of the job. It is a nice place to gather all the feeds, but there is no way to share it on a specific Lemmy community, does it?

Enjoy your retirement, Brodie. Now you will get more time to hoop on your mega-yacht.
