Like a hot tub: Water temperatures off Florida soar over 100 degrees

Every time I see these I see these climate change related issues (which is now multiple times a day), I get the same sinking feeling in my stomach like I'm behind on work and don't have enough time to do it and I'll soon be in trouble for letting things get too far behind. That feeling keeps me up, causes me stress, and is generally not a comfortable way to live. This just fucking sucks.

TIL that after psychologist Timothy Leary was sentenced to prison, he had to take a test that he himself created. He used his knowledge to be assigned to a lower-security prison and escaped.

My boomer mom is all up in her suburban town councils business because she's afraid there is going to be a "marijuana shop" that goes in across the highway from her neighborhood in the strip mall that's being developed.

Anti-drug propaganda really did a number on that generation

In the country's defense, those assholes literally ran the government from the highest level for 4 years and gave up power were forced to give up power after their term ended. We have a pretty robust system. I am concerned that so many people are so stupid to be hoodwinked by him and his ilk, but the system was built to withstand this type of shit...at least for a single time.

Meanwhile Biden and democrats have been out there with things like the Inflation Reduction Act and the Infrastructure Bill actually helping Americans. If you think that the government isn't capable of doing positive or good for it's people anymore, you haven't been paying attention. It may not be sweeping, and only barely enacted, but a lot of good has been done recently.

You can create multiple accounts, but shouldn't have to as long as the two instances aren't bad actors. I think this stance is short sighted and lazy from beehaw.org admins. I expect those communities there to migrate to another instance as the dominant community for the topic.

That's their prerogative, but it just means I won't be interacting with communities on beehaw. What's to say they won't defederate from the instance I choose for my 2nd or 3rd account in the future?

I really want to like Lemmy

Yeah, I try to share this to help people get it...

GUIDE:

  • don't go to a community on the server that it's on (e.g. https://lemmy.ml/c/asklemmy) [NO login]

  • do go to a community on the server you're on (e.g. https://lemmy.one/c/[email protected]) [YES login!]

everything else works the same using the instance-to-instance federation, but only as long as you use YOUR lemmy instance, NOT the one that the Community lives on.

When linking to a community from within a lemmy post or comment, use this format:

(Note: this works really well on the website, but currently my app (Jerboa) crashes for these links. I think this is a bug that will be fixed.)
