Be honest, do you still use reddit?

I feel the same way. It was weird breaking the habit of clicking the RiF app when I unlock my screen, but after a while the need just went away.

What is your opinion of online moderators? Do you think of them as an ally or an adversary?
I think they spend a lot of their time holding back a wall of crap from falling on all of us. Unmoderated forums are so bad.

Wine bottles. After thousands of years of drinking you would think humans would develop a bottle design that doesn't dribble down the side after pouring.

Tomorrow you wake up with the power of Superman for 48 hours, what's on your to do list?
I would create my own Groundhog Day set up. Start learning task A. After 47 hours, fly around the earth to rewind time. Learn for another 47 hours. Repeat process. Learn infinity tasks and become a master at everything. On the last loop win the heart of Andie MacDowell.

Why do people dislike California?
California is cool, I just don't like LA. It's dirty, crowded, has traffic 24/7, and everything is expensive just to name a few reasons.

lemmy.ml is overloaded, use other instances instead
Hi, as one of the new people, is there a way to transfer to another instance or would I have to create a new account there?

think the predator is badass
As a child, I loved the x files. I wanted a cool name for AOL. Thought I was clever picking the character Deep Throat, I was so cool. Didn't realize till later what it also meant.

I think the rich will get richer, the poor will have less, and eventually AGI will emerge, blowing past our ability to control it and kill us all.
I'll be happy though if at some point before societal collapse we get some generative model that produces season 2 of Firefly.

What is the most bizzare opinion you have ever heard from a teacher or professor
Biomedical engineering professor teaching an entire course on how DNA in its natural state is not actually a double helix and that Watson and Crick were wrong. The guy spent decades of his career after getting tenure pushing this crusade of his. It was a great class and I loved it.

What if Reddit reverts it's changes?
I've fully committed to replacing reddit in my life, I'm trying to be active here and pointing people to Lemmy when I can. Reddit has made it clear they dont care about users. they get content for free, moderation for free, etc. They pissed on their base and deserve a mass exodus. I just hope people follow through.

What was the incident in your school?
Elementary school, I think it was second grade. Our class went to the music room for our hour with the music teacher. First girls in the room saw him at his computer looking at pictures of himself with naked girls doing gymnastics. I was in the back and didn't see it but I heard later he created the pictures with Photoshop. The weeks after that everyone was interviewed about him, mostly focusing on the girls. He would often have them sit on his lap during class (this was the 80s and we were young, didn't seem weird at the time).
The cool thing about the whole situation was I had called him a bad name the day before and he said I was going to get a referral (bad note on my record). He was gone before he had a chance.

Outside of politics, have you ever had a position on something that you have doubled down on and refused to move an inch on to the point of upsetting someone? Were you right?

Adding to this, if a group is walking together shoulder to shoulder taking up most of the sidewalk, it's that groups responsibility to stack when a single person is coming. The single walker should not have to move off the sidewalk to accommodate.
