Because lemmy (forums) is built for following discussions, while mastodon (microblogging) is built for following people. Unless you’re popular and have many followers, you’ll have better engagement in a forum because people follow the topic being discussed, not the person discussing the topic.

Same. After years of neglect, I finally had everything fixed at the same time. After 2 years of dental work and thousands spent out-of-pocket, I now floss and brush religiously.

Haven’t gone out yet, but we’re looking at a counter-height table. Square for the aesthetic but might just go for a reactangle for more useable space. Definitely not looking at getting a massive one.

Shop for a dining furniture set that sits 4 people. We just eat at the kitchen bar but since we’re having guests for the first time next month, we need a proper dining table.

I’m bad at haggling but I try to do it when buying used items on online marketplaces.

As long as they can’t be bought or paid for, I don’t think it’s a very bad thing.

I don’t remember my dreams more than a couple of days back let alone immediately after waking up most of the time, so the most recent one I remember was 2 nights ago. I was singing Still A Friend of Mine as a duet with Maysa Leak and while singing, she was scratching away a piece of dry skin on my forehead.

Czech Republic maybe, due to them having a different (and lower) currency? Prague is beautiful and Brno, while smaller, is quaint.

Sharp Objects had different intros per episode, but they were all good. My favorite is episode 2.

Also, The Leftovers.

I was about to post the same.

I’m on the beta (testflight) version and they recently had an update where you can now select more photos to add right in the app instead of having to go to the IOS settings menu.

• We made it easier to select additional pictures when Limited Access photo permissions are enabled in iOS. The Manage button has been repositioned so that it’s always visible, and updating your chosen selection is so fast that it’s never a photo finish.

I’d happily pay all those fees to have that much passport privilege.

I’m not 100% sure, but I think HEB hasn’t done anything yet to kowtow to the current admin’s policies.

Don’t worry, sooner or later Nicole will reach out and make friends.

• In Bruges
• Snatch

Nope, because I use it myself. But I don’t use it as a conversational tool though. I just use it as confirmation that I received and read what you sent but it isn’t necessary to continue the conversation. For example, I’m already in a conversation with someone and the assumption is I need them to send me a file. When they finally send it over, I just react with a thumbs up to confirm I got it. Context is important. The emoji is only as meaningful as the context of the conversation it is in.

As a musician, it’s music for me. And not just music per se. There’s an art to producing and mixing a good song that it hits my ears just right when it’s executed perfectly.

If you’re nervous, you can ask the bartender/server to put in half the alcohol when preparing the drink. That’s what I do because I get the asian flush, so I can drink “more”.

I try to prioritize the community on my instance. If there isn’t one, I post on the most active instance.

My gas oven has vents like this. So when it’s actively burning gas to get it up to temp, that’s where the exhaust comes out.
