Do you think the guys on the titanic submarine will be rescued?
The rescue would be miraculous. So, no. Sadly.

Pretty tame by addict standards.

Why did people used to hate Fortnite so much?
It was probably the extreme surge in popularity. Sustaining hate for something so innocuous is difficult long-term, so people lost interest. My son and I started in season 2, and he still plays with his friends. It's a phenomenal social game.
That's my guess anyway.

Bud lite lost more in revenue partnering with a trans spokesperson, than Corona did for having the same name as a virus that caused a global pandemic.

I don't know how Corona did, but Bud Light does appear to be struggling. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/29/business/bud-light-sales.html

What is something that people think is dangerous but in reality is completely harmless?

I've heard that cited in stories, usually older. A baby dies and they blame someone leaving the door open too long and letting in a draft.

YSK: If you make popcorn in a pot on the stove, the oil to use is ghee.
Never tried Ghee. I usually use canola, coconut, or bacon grease. I'm up for more buttery flavor though. Thanks!

I really want to like Lemmy
It's far from perfect, but I'm taking a stand.
Half the reason I used Reddit was to cure boredom. I've decided to find other things to do. The other main reason I loved to check in was to make sure I don't miss big news. So far, Lemmy seems to scratch that itch. It'll take a long time for niche communities to establish, but I'll just deal with that for now. Maybe I'll just go back to some old forums for that purpose.

Bleacher Report: The Pistons added travel and health care benefits into Monty Williams' contract for his wife, Lisa Keeth, who has been diagnosed with breast cancer

20 year marriage. She died in front of 3 of their children in the car when hit by a driver on meth.
The highs and lows he's experienced in the last couple decades are pretty extreme. Heartbreaking.

Anyone else feel like their body began falling apart in their 20s?
Yes, sort of.
My 20s saw my first real back, ankle, and knee injuries/soreness. Also had my first crown done around then. I felt pretty depressed about it.
I picked up stretching, yoga, and low impact cross training. 20 years later I can honestly say that my back and knees have never been better. I'm a lot more thoughtful about preparation and risks I choose to take.

A lot of people on social media are acting like this boycott didn't work. It totally did. Love it or hate it, it worked.

Is there a short name for "Lemmy Community"?
Reply in thread
People always referred to subreddits as a sub or community anyway. Easy.

It's subtle, but I only use just enough to pop the kernels. I also have a jar of it by the stove most of the time.

Can you imagine the push it'll take to implement when probably half the country is too uneducated to understand how it works?

Public transit is the slowest option everywhere I've lived(cities from 5k to 500k population).
Disturbed people, smelly people, loud music, unwelcome conversation, fights, and urine/food/filth on the seating has also made public transit a last resort for me.
Driving and all it's privileges is an absolute pleasure when you don't live in too big a city.

[Shams Charania] The NBA is suspending Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant for 25 games, sources tell The Athletic

I agree. Missing 25 games as a professional player while your team either gels or struggles without you would be extremely difficult. If this isn't a wakeup call then 35 or 45 games wouldn't be either.

Woj: Michael Jordan is finalizing sale of the Charlotte Hornets, ending his 13-year run as majority owner

He probably makes more than $180m from Jordan Brand in a year. Just crazy money.

Hypothetically speaking, if Reddit back tracks on their API plan and meets all of the communities expeditions- would you go back to Reddit?
It's definitely a wait and see situation. My Reddit account is gone, so if Lemmy continues to grow I see no reason why I'd go back. If Lemmy dies, then obviously I wouldn't have anywhere else to go.
