YSK there is a software that blocks remote connection tools used by scammers!
The free version regularly scans your device for remote connection tools such as TeamViewer which are commonly used by scammers to get on your computer and steal your personal information. It also blocks all of these websites. This version is why I'm posting because I want people to be protected from scams that my own family have been victims of. The premium version is only 2 dollars a month and has other features such as blocking thousands of scam websites and notifying select family members if your loved on tries to install one of these connection tools. If you have elderly or vulnerable family members, consider installing the free version! It's so quick and could protect everything they have someday.

Eye Buy Direct was half the cost of even the cheapest store bought glasses in our case, and I really like their order status tracking! Don’t sign up for their emails though, you’ll get like five a day 😳

Depending on how picky you are about how glasses frames might look or feel, you may want to consider finding frames separately and mailing them in to get lenses added. It will still save you money! But if you’re less picky they do have both virtual try one and measure your pupil distance so your chances of liking them seem good!


There’s a book about talking to people on different sides of the isle by Justin Lee, I recommend it! But otherwise I prefer to just show love in whatever ways they can receive. I’m fine with respectful discussions but will happily excuse myself from arguments I didn’t sign up for.


I can tell I’m in the minority here but I love almost all memes (including this one), and puns! - Except memes that are overly divisive and serious at the same time


Yes!!! I genuinely think he’s the best improv artist I’ve ever seen, and he can multitask so well. I’ve also learned a ton about scams from him and use the information to reach out to companies and try to enact change.

Something else I appreciate is that he treats anyone and everyone with respect (no matter how vile they are towards him); not something you see on the internet often.



I intentionally joined an instance that doesn’t allow it. I do it kind of compulsively on other sites but really don’t feel good about it. Plus I always found it hurtful when people did it to me just because I didn’t know something or had a polite disagreement. Downvoting reminds me of the 6 Million Merits episode of Black Mirror (if that’s what it’s called). Now when I try to downvote Lemmy says nope can’t do that and I feel happy and relieved!
