Wish I had more free time but unfortunately my work/life balance is pretty bad at the moment.
But every once in a while the urge will hit and I’ll end up playing something obsessively for a few weeks or so while suffering through a lack of sleep during that time.
Yeah with Propagandhi it’s always a toss-up whether they’ll make it into the U.S., they were set to play Fest this year too until they canceled. Kind of wonder if they’ll even bother trying to tour the U.S. for the next 4 years at least, ugh.
PS - Streetlight is playing Asbury Park later this month if you want to add another show to your count :P (you probably already know about that one)
World/Inferno Friendship Society by far, must have seen them 10-15 times in the NYC/NJ area. Averaged 1-2 times a year up until the lead singer passed away 4 years ago (RIP CLOTH). Their live show was kind of a intense mix of dancing, moshing, singing along and just kind of letting loose. The fans sort of created an entire community around the band and we’d recognize each other from all the other shows we’ve been to together. Their annual halloween show (Hallowmas) was always the highlight, the band would go all out with live show spectacles both on and off the stage.
I still go to plenty of other live shows, at the moment have leaned into folk punk bands. Apes Of State and Escape From the Zoo are some of my current favorites maybe seen them 4-5 times now.
That’s a good tip, it’s a good idea to subscribe to a Lemmy instance that participates in Fediseer (IMO). It helps to keep spammy instances off your own instance hence lower spam posts overall.
A lot of spammers tend to spin up their own Lemmy instances just to spam the rest of the Fediverse, or they’ll create a ton of new accounts on an instance with lax admin/moderation to use for spam later.
You don’t even need to browse the Fediseer website directly, pretty much all Lemmy instances participating in Fediseer will have the “Guarantor” and “Endorsements” links in the sidebar of their homepage.
Later on when you successfully sign up on a different Lemmy instance just go into your new user’s profile settings again (exactly how you just did for https://lemm.ee/settings but it’ll be [YOUR-NEW-LEMMY-INSTANCE]/settings, in there under “Import/Export Settings” look for the Import section and there you can import the file you just exported.
PS - For a quick overview of Lemmy instances you can check out https://lemmyverse.net/?order=active&open=true and/or https://join-lemmy.org/instances
Kind of like that it’s a bit slippery, makes it easy to slide into my pocket. A case would just feel too bulky and and would need more force to get in/out of my jean pockets (IMO).
Regrettably, despite having a case, I managed to crack the screen anyway. It fell face down onto a pointy rock. My first broken screen, ever.
Oof yeah I sympathize :) My previous Pixel had a screen protector on it and I still managed to crack the screen by dropping the phone on a corner and getting a nice little corner crack. After that I figured why keep bothering with these protectors haha.
Most people I know have cases on their phones, yeah.
But in case it is helpful my own phone (Pixel 7) has no case/screen protector. Also my phone has cracks on the back and one corner so this tracks :P (but otherwise it has held up quite well)
May be overthinking it a bit, the typical opportunistic thief that would try to snatch a phone and run is just looking to see what bank apps you have installed. Usually they are looking to see if you have something like Venmo installed so they can go into your app and send themselves your money. Venmo of course will say that money was transferred from your phone so it was clearly you and there’s nothing to dispute, hence you’re fucked.
These type of thieves already know to try to keep the screen unlocked long enough to do that, afterwards they usually just toss the phone somewhere. The phone hardware itself isn’t that useful while it’s still locked down and tied to someone’s Google/Apple account, most phones are firmware locked in that fashion. Sure they could wait it out until you finally remove the phone from your Google/Apple account but every time they check it’ll keep giving out their location, not really worth it.
Nowadays current Android phones do have theft protection to prevent loss in a snatch attempt e.g. my Android has settings to auto lock it if it detects fast movement while unlocked, and it also auto locks if the entire phone itself has been set offline/airplane mode for a while.
Almost never, maybe once a year if that.
But I do consistently drop brand new phones within the first 3 months of owning it. Usually on concrete. Not intentionally of course… yet for some reason it’s happened to me every single time.
Not a part of either community but I’d guess russian would be easier, assuming you’ve actually spent time to immerse yourself in russian culture/language/etc. Then again if you grew up with the general american upbringing and culture you may as well hang out with whoever you want, there’s no need to specifically search out a group of people if your life has been american culture up to now.
For what it’s worth back in my college days my old roommate was half black half korean. He really, really wanted to blend in with the koreans and other asians at the school but truth is most of the foreign students tended to avoid him. The asians that did hang around with him were the type that wanted to meet and hang out with americans and weren’t being picky about culture and whatnot.
The (now divorced) couple do have 2 kids so those genes will continue existing well into the future.
Still not sure I entirely believe the story but there are a few other mentions with a bit more details
WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE!
This is literally what happens when you let a nazi drink at your bar.
Ugh, the U.S. has enough of its own shitheads already. But it’s a net positive for Canada so congrats to the Canadians.
I was in a sixth floor walkup and couldn’t hear the bar on the ground floor through the floors. But opening the windows in the summer yeah, depending how loud people were being out front on the sidewalk.
You need to talk to HR at the company you work for.
Not sure if you meant like cleaning them all out with the dishes using soap/sponges/etc. Just rinsing them out is fine.
But either option is better than just dumping dirty cans/bottles into your recycling pile. I had a friend who was living in a shared apartment with 3-4 other people and there was this one guy that never ever cleaned or rinsed any of his recycling. Apparently the shared kitchen area where the recycling was stored would reek and attract flies and other insects all because of that guy.
A few times a year, probably around 5-6 I’d guess. Some months I end up going to more than one and other months it’s quiet.
Almost always buy merch… I have a lot of t-shirts haha.
I really hate the idea of people not liking something and it being scrubbed from the internet.
It’s not, the devs themselves took it off Steam (and honestly I would have thought Valve might have removed it eventually). But it’s not like the devs disappeared from the internet, searching around I saw they still sell the game on at least one game platform outside of Steam. And those same devs could choose to sell it directly themselves if they wanted, to say they’ve been scrubbed from the internet is a bit of a stretch.
Bird looks like he’s about to blow up at Mouse towards the end. Then again in the earlier comic Bird was way too confident in Mouse, LOL.
