No. Working out sucks. But after smoking for 15 years and finally quitting, getting too fat over the past 4, now I’m trying to be healthier. I do actually feel kind of better, even more than when I quit smoking.
So the working out part sucks but the other parts are better because of it in my experience.
This’ll seem unnecessarily mean but is the truth. Back when I was 18 and working as a cashier, a man and his son, both extremely overweight, went through my line. Idk what was wrong with them, but they both STANK so hard I could taste it. I went home and showered and could still smell it. I could smell it on my clothes so I washed them too. It was so horrible. I could smell it for hours. It was like the smell had been burned into the back of my nose.
To this day, if I smell something similar to that smell I remember that day and start to panic a little.
Downloaded the app, rated 1⭐, then disabled it.
I use ad blockers. I do feel for people who are trying to make a living producing content, I really do.
BUT I really, really, am against letting the big tech companies that serve the ads make the majority of the money. It’s beyond messed up how little content creators make compared to what companies like Google make with ads. Ads make some companies so much money they sink tons of money into finding more ways to creep on our personal lives.
Kind of related but not completely is how Apple and Google take cuts of money spent in apps and to pay for paid apps in their app stores. Like wtf? Sure, I can understand these tech companies need money to run their servers and all that, but jfc why do they need such a huge cut? App devs, artists (YouTube and Spotify, I’m looking at you), writers, whatever all create content people enjoy and tech companies just corner the market and force people who are usually not great with computers or tech, and they just fuck them. Content creators have no say.
Maybe it’s okay for something short, like texting, but proper grammar and punctuation are kind of necessary for the longer chunks of text.
I’ve got to say it was pretty shocking to be fresh off the boat, walking down the street, and some kid just bolts out of a store, drops her pants and starts pissing next to a tree.
I actually saw them doing that once near where I lived. Thankfully I never ate there.
Pixel running GrapheneOS. Happy to feel like I actually own my own phone now.
Using an apostrophe in plurals. Don’t know why but this one drives me insane.
Also they’re/there/their and you’re/your
Yeah, I think that’s one of the user experience issues we’re facing. Setting the canonical as the original server makes the most sense, but that would mean if you find something interesting via a search engine you have to figure out how to get it to show up on your home instance.
Like for me, since I run my own instance for myself and one other person so far, I have to find interesting communities manually. It’s really annoying. Though, looking at Lemmy v0.18 release notes, a lot of new devs have made contributions and I’m sure more will help in the future. One improvement from yesterday’s release is visiting a remote community on your home server will pull the community rather than returning a 404. I think changes like that are big first steps towards improving this specific aspect of the user experience.
I think you’re right. Looking at the html source for this page I don’t see a canonical tag, though. Maybe they haven’t added it yet? Or I missed it.
I also did the Ansible setup.
Are you subscribing to communities? I think searching just pulls something like 20 posts but nothing else. Everything starts getting pulled in when someone subscribes.
I also had some issues with pictures but the problems just kind of resolved themselves. Maybe try resetting the server and see what happens.
I personally agree. I’m from the U.S. but also have been an expat for over a decade. Honestly it bugs me too how much Reddit, as well as other sites, just use the U.S. as the default. The U.S. is definitely important, but it’s not the center of the world.
I also immediately replaced my weather app. Never heard of this one. Very impressed.
