What 3rd spaces did we have decades ago that we do not now ?
It’s not necessarily that they’re entirely gone, but there’s fewer of them, and they may not be as accessible. Off the top of my head, a few examples might be things like:
- Public libraries
- Social clubs/Youth clubs
- Open spaces
- Skate parks/outdoor gyms
Some communities are managing to hang on to their third spaces, or even create new ones, but it seems to be very uneven.

Don’t pooh-pooh the idea unless you’ve tried it. It’s pretty cool.

It’s not the furry bit that’s the problem, it’s what you do with the pineapple and barbeque tongs that disturbs people, and the Lederhosen are just gratuitous.

Your respose is a perfect example of how wrong the left wing response is to this sort of situation. You’ve been handed two pies, one is undercooked, the other literal faeces. The pie being undercooked has nothing to do with the apple tree, and the other pie doesn’t have any apples in it, so your response of ‘burn down the tree that produced the fruit’ addresses neither issue, and cuts off the supply of fresh apples for everyone until your new tree, hopefully, starts to bear fruit sometime in the future.
If, instead, you’d said something along the lines of “lets teach people how to check their pies are actually cooked, and how to tell the difference between fruit and faeces”, then you’d have been on to something.
- Comment on Is there a tool where I can compare multiple copies of the same file in different directories / hard drives to check if files got corrupted? 3 weeks ago:
It’ll depend on what OS you’re using. On linux you’d probably want to use
sha1sumto generate a list of checksums of the files in one directory, then use it to check the other durectories and it’ll tell you if any files don’t match. - Comment on What brings you peace in your life? 3 weeks ago:
Stick to places lime !upliftingnews@lemmy.world or news sites that are tailored to showing positive stories. You already know there are terrible things going on in the world, there’s no need to constantly cudgel yourself with them.

This was a completely irrational thing to do. You’ll never hear the end of it.
- Comment on Political leaning 3 weeks ago:
Thats the thing, if you’re feeling lost and powerless, having someone “strong” tell you that it’s because of some other group and telling you what to do and what to think probably feels really encouraging and positive. The fact you’re even more powerless in that situation probably doesn’t even register.

My apologies, I should have been more explicit, I was referring to a Large Library of Material. Obviously you have a vast repository of fascinating anecdotes and analogies to draw from.

I have a note against their user, “Absurdist”. I don’t know whether they’re using an LLM to generate these, and, to be honest, I was somewhat iritated by them at first, but I’ve come to enjoy their occasional bouts of weirdness in random threads.

- Comment on Is it theoretically possible Trump and ICE are killing a very large number of immigrants (like 25% of those detained) and no one knows? 1 month ago:
two immediate constraints come to mind:
- Bodies. While possible, disposing of that many bodies without anyone noticing will be really hard.
They’re already using military cargo planes for “deportation” flights. Maybe some don’t have any live passengers, and they just dump the bodies mid-ocean. No need for mass graves, just load cargo containers onto a cargo plane and off it goes. If it lands with one or two fewer than it started with, that’s just a paperwork issue.

- Comment on No magnesium 1 month ago:
However, zero milligrams is still a valid response to the doctor’s statement as they have 0mg of Mg, and an amuzing twist on OMG in the same way as 0Mg would be. Therefore the joke still works, even after we’ve examined it in detail.

Are you refering to the Ping Pong tournament that he ran in the Quảng Ninh province of Vietnam? I heard that, after the tournament had finished, he thought it would be nice, in the spirit of friendship, if each team sang the national anthem of another. Well, needless to say, this caused a bit of tension, and many lyrics were, accidentally or not, mangled. This lead to tempers flaring, quite a bit of shouting, and, I’m sorry to say, the tension spilled over and a fight broke out between the US and Vietnamese teams.
The incident was later refered to as the Dick Bong Hạ Long Ping Pong Sing Song Ding Dong.

There’s a lot of work to go around. The leopards take care of those who vote against their own interests, the tigers can deal with those who shoud be getting nothing more than a lump of coal for Christmas. In the case that both of these hold true, whichever gets to the perpetrator first eats them.

I know you mean this in jest, but I’m now envisioning hoards of driverless cars roaming around joylessly hunting down artificial ‘pokemon’ to add to their owner’s collection, whilst the owners sit at home listlessly doom scrolling, waiting for their cars to return, so they can see what ‘they’ caught.
I don’t like it.

Weirdly I can see your blasphemous comment about instant ‘coffee’ in your history, linked to this post, but it doesn’t show up in the comments here. I suspect it’s because it’s been voted down to -30.
In answer to the assertion you made about coffee being all the same, I say: you heathen! You Philistine! You non-appreciator of tasty coffee! If you like instant, that’s one thing, but many feel (as do I) that instant isn’t a patch on properly roasted, ground, and brewed coffee.
