The new one is MUCH too white, but let’s be honest, the before pictures are pretty ugly too. That wallpaper is gaudy as hell.

I cannot relate to this question at all.
I have a tiny bowl of seed in my porch that I move slightly closer to where I sit, so the chipmunks and squirrels will learn to trust me
I have a bowl of cat food on the porch, so any hungry wayward kitties can stop by for a snack.
My yard is full of pollinator flowers to attract bees and hummingbirds.
If a crow showed up, I’d be trying to befriend him before the end of the first day!

Oh, I didn’t mean the moving part. I agree with that. It was the city people know everything there is to know about rural life I disagree with.

No, but there’s a few around here under 100k
- Comment on Do americans living in Red States really despise american living in Blue States? 21 hours ago:
Plenty of people in cities know exactly what life is like in those rural “communities”.
I question this. I grew up in a rural area, moved to the city for a few years, and moved back to one of the “larger” towns in a rural area.
Usually while talking about my childhood with my friends in the city, they would seem surprised by some of it. Yeah, they knew the basics, as I did about the city, but actually living somewhere is a lot different than what media portrays.

I never expected this, but it’s happened many times:
I live in a small town and my daughter just graduated from college in Detroit. When I tell people where she went to school, many of them are like “OMG REALLY?” “Weren’t you scared for her?”
I just tell them “Not at all! It’s a really nice city, and she’s thinking of moving back out there!”
Which is true, and it blows their fucking minds.
- Comment on What games did you sleep on for too long? 22 hours ago:
It took me some getting used to. I’m a pro at the Fallout/Skyrim system, but this took some getting used to.
Besides that though, I’ve noticed that, like combat, it gets easier as you level it up. A low level trying to pick anything other than very easy is going to be REALLY shaky. But at higher levels, I have a lot more control even on hard locks.
- Comment on Is the world more volatile now or is it just the abundance of news? 1 day ago:
It’s the information.
Before, what you didn’t know couldn’t hurt you, so, when someone on the other side of the country did something, it would have to be REALLY important for people to talk about it here.
Tv gave us national news, but still, they were limited by broadcast time. Not every little bit of news can fit in a 24 hour day, and they’d have to repeat the important stuff just in case someone wasn’t watching at the exact time it was reported.
Now, there are no limits. Every local drama, every crime committed, every break up and make up, and every plate of food is recorded at immortalized on the Internet.
Statistically, crime is lower than ever, less crimes go unsolved, and more people have more rights than ever before. This world is literally the best it’s ever been, but we’ve also never been exposed to so much injustice before. It’s quite the Faustian Contradiction.
- Comment on What’s a reasonable tip for a barber? (America) 1 day ago:
There are three major cities about two hours from me and I can’t imagine having to drive to any of them more than once a month. Just seems like most of that extra money is spending itself on just the commute.

my barbers commute in from 2 hours away,
Why?!?

Don’t forget that when you do this, you’re deciding what issues that worker should be protesting.
They didn’t agree to hunger strike for YOUR cause. Those are hard working people that rely on those tips because of the system that exists. Whether or not the system should work this way is debatable (for what it’s worth, I agree that it shouldn’t be this way) but for now, tipping IS part of the social contract, and not tipping a server doesn’t make you an activist, it makes you an asshole.
This is specifically for servers, and gig workers (Uber drivers, delivery services) There are a lot of people I don’t tip, because they aren’t making half of minimum wage per hour. I don’t often tip anyone other profession unless they’ve really gone above and beyond.

Kingdom come: Deliverance.
I’m pretty far into my first playthrough. I had barely even heard of this game, but once I got past the initial frustration of realizing that I’m just a blacksmith’s son, I’m having a blast!
I wasn’t sure how a lack of fantasy (monsters/magic) would turn out, but I don’t miss it at all.

Jesus Christ. This is as delusional as people who think that their Freedom of Speech is getting trampled because their post full of hate speech got deleted.

- Comment on Would people like a "X posts per Y" rate limit for this community? 3 days ago:
Actually, this post is literally about “should there be an X per Y post limit on users”
Nothing about redefining “shitty spam.” Just post limits on all users.
If you want to have a conversation about how to deal with the one person who submits 80% of all posts in this entire community, I totally understand that. But a post limit isn’t the answer. Besides, it’s not like anyone else is competing for that space on the boards.
- Comment on Someone said I post an average of 6 posts a day. Where did they get that type of information? Not upset curious cause it's another way I can compliment others with facts about them. 3 days ago:
Not to mention they are also a nurse who came here for advice on how to help a ten year old patient who really wants to learn how to code.
- Comment on Would people like a "X posts per Y" rate limit for this community? 3 days ago:
About as much as a sarcastic condescending tone.
Shitty spam is already against the rules. If you see it, report it.

And I suggest we come back to this when Lemmy is at risk of having too much content.
- Comment on Would people like a "X posts per Y" rate limit for this community? 3 days ago:
No. More posts create more conversations, no matter how stupid they may be. Just skip the ones that don’t interest you.

You should do some real research on this.
Your understanding of ADHD is so far off, this question doesn’t even make sense for many of us.

Hold up. This isn’t an Onion article?!?
I was completely convinced that this was satire of the removal of racist history. Fucking BIKE LANES?
I swear this administration only does two things. Finding answers for problems that don’t exist, or creating problems that didn’t exist.
