In this case I think it is beneficial to have a dedicated community where the expectation is that young people, while not excluded, are not going to generally be the ones participating in discussions. It's true that for now Lemmy has a relatively small user base, and that it's skewed toward older and male users, but that won't always be these case.

A quick search also shows at least 9 active "ask" communities besides the generic AskLemmy one. I don't think it's too much a stretch to have one dedicated to older men politely talking to one another and giving advice to themselves and others from an older male perspetive.

I'm finding it difficult to explain myself, but the vibe is just totally different on the AskMenOver30 subreddit than general "ask" subs. It's more mature and frank while also being courteous* and free from politics, conspiracies, and toxic masculinity. I would much rather be subscribed to and participate in a narrowly focused self-selected community like that then a generic AskLemmy community.

Wasn't Hank equally gullible? She just liked the communist candidate's red tie. Hank liked Bush just because he was a Texan.

Libro.fm is an awesome alternative to Audible. All of their audiobooks are DRM free and you can choose to have a portion of each purchase go to a local bookstore.

Interesting, I had searched to see if a community already existed before creating this one but didn't see it. Since lemm.ee is shutting down I'll leave it up, but if they migrate to a new instance I'll consider deleting it.

I'll be pinning a post explaining the difference 😉

The snails shell is backwards in the painting accompanying the article eye twitch.

Not sure I've got one nearby, but I can look!

Cool find!

By the way, if anyone is interested* there's a Lemmy carniverous plant community https://lemmy.world/c/SavageGarden

Here's a mature stalk on another one of my sundews. A single flower blooms for just a few hours in the midmorning every day or two.

I'd eat that

Thanks for the tip!

$18/£13.3 for a single sleeve of biscuits off Amazon's US site. If I get them I'll have to hide the price from my partner.

Amen. Your answer is one of the few that is actually brutal advice that everyone should be given.

Something I've wanted to know, but have been too afraid to ask older friends, is does it get easier? Especially as the number of people dying keeps increasing and happening more and more frequently.

Thanks. I'm technically in the native range for both so they should hopefully not be too difficult to grow. Once they're hardened off to full sun they will be transplanted into a pot with one of my existing Sarracenia.

S. psittacina is an amazing plant. I think I'm a little north of its range unfortunately. The two Sarracenia I have are an S. flava and S. leucophylla, and they can handle a frost.

Maybe I'm blind, but using the official Peertube app I cannot see how to subscribe to this channel. I can watch the video, go to the channel profile, but I don't see a button to subscribe.

Thank you. Sorry for the image quality, my hands were completely muddy and I didn't dare try whiping my lens. I've got some better pictures of ribbonwort I'll have to post some time.

The take away here is that the courts did the right thing and Alabama's new majority-minority district is secure.

The Constitution and rule of law aren't dead yet, and progress is being made even in this dark time.

I had no idea there were carnivorous plants in Europe. Time for me to go down a Wikipedia rabbit hole.

A finger for scale

I've heard of these but never knew what they were. Kind of remind me of a snack my mom would make with Ritz crackers.
