Sure, there’s that. Also, sometimes I just write bad.

One of my last comments on Reddit was about this.

The biggest difference I’ve noticed is that people have stopped reading sentences. They’ll read all the words and then upvote based on the feeling those individual words give them. They won’t consider the meaning of all those words put together.

And yeah, “upvote does not mean agree” is something Reddit has always struggled with, but it has definitely had exponential growth lately.

It has made me start writing more clearly. There are comments I’ve written that have been wildly misinterpreted from my actual meaning. Part of that is that I tend towards sarcasm, and it doesn’t translate well over the internet no matter how absurd I get with it. But I’ve also started aiming to use more simple sentence structure.

New roof, solar panels, battery, EV, remodel part of the house, new siding, buy a small house in my neighborhood to function as a guest house, take care of my parents, spend a couple months in Europe.

Oh, you meant the rest of it. Government bonds are always good. You can also use more than one bank to expand the $250k limit (which applies per account type and bank). A trust, for example, is insured separately from your checking account.

Past that, I couldn’t tell you. Your financial advisor would though, just make sure they have a “fiduciary duty” to serve your interests.

We’ve decided long ago that bad people surviving is better than good people dying.

I looked up my exact quote, which isn’t perfect, but a permanent ban seems kind of crazy.

It’s not really lethal if you’re vaccinated, especially if you’re young.

I wouldn’t downplay long Covid. And if I had to do it again, I’d change some things. But saying that once in an appropriate thread seems pretty innocuous to me.

Basically just the Reddit to Lemmy transition. Sounds easy.

I’ve been permanently banned from the League of Legends subreddit for saying a team that had caught Covid wouldn’t die because they’re young and vaccinated. In a post about them having caught Covid. And in response to someone calling it a fatal disease (which it can be for some, but really isn’t if you’re 20, vaccinated, and otherwise healthy).

The cats appreciate it, and it makes things less urgent. Gives more time when we’re out in vacation. They don’t really use the old one anymore.

You still have to deal with it in the end though.

Unfortunately their API isn’t local and goes through their site.

HA is still more of a lifestyle choice than just software.

Someday I’ll get around to putting those bulbs back on the Homekit controller instead of trying to run them through OTBR.

The exhaust fan turning on when the litterbox detects a cat is pretty cool though.

You can just go to those specific communities and block that community. I’m looking at you, !memes.

Which is good to be aware of, but I don’t think they’d want your image exif data.

You could give it multiple instances/accounts and it would search between the instances for the one with the most comments.

There’s a difference between acknowledging people use downvotes incorrectly and encouraging them to use downvotes incorrectly. The first one is a fine discussion. The second is harmful.

You shouldn’t try to make things worse to prove your point.

Yeah. I think you missed the important bits that allow you to recognize the same behavior in an increasingly fascist world. And to consider what you can and should practically do about it now. Instead you’ll wait for an arch-villain looking guy twirling his mustache that’ll never show up.

It IS the perfect example. At least we agree on that.

If that example had a little more substance and better context it would be valid. It’s important to recognize that most Nazis weren’t cartoonishly evil. Some may have even been mostly good people who supported the worst possible politics.

Acknowledging that makes it easier to spot similarities today.

You’re phrasing it in a way that is actively harmful. It’s like you’re trying to make downvotes worse than they are.

They’re absolutely useful, but not for just opinions you don’t like.

Which is why you shouldn’t downvote everything you disagree with. That’s not what it’s for, and we should actively discourage people from using it incorrectly. As Sisyphean of a task as that is, it still matters.
