Honestly, good point. I’mma have to buy the vinyl, too

Ori and the Blind Forest/ Will of the Wisps Still the only two games that I’ve sought out and added the music to my playlists, although Skyrim and LoZ songs tend to be covered by artists in my daily rotations

- Comment on After 4 years my banana tree decided it was time to fruit! 5 weeks ago:
I was agreeing with you that it’s silly to correct someone calling it a tree outside of specific contexts, just like arguing a tomato isn’t a vegetable.
For what it’s worth, I have had to learn the growth habits of plants in ecology classes for a degree that I am currently earning. I have plant identification books that use those terms, because they do have a technical use.
- Comment on After 4 years my banana tree decided it was time to fruit! 5 weeks ago:
It’s considered an herb because the vegetation dies back after fruiting, instead of remaining persistent. If you really want to get technical it’s a forb, which is an herb that isn’t grass-like. But yeah, it’s literally just a description of its growth habit. I don’t think I’ve ever heard someone casually calling a Wisteria a “liana” , for example, because it’s not really a helpful term outside of certain botanical contexts
- Comment on What is the difference between a platonic and a romantic relationship? 5 weeks ago:
My view is that there are shades of gray between kissing family and kissing with the intent to have sex. To me there is distinction between a kiss shared during a date and one that is shared as you’re stumbling towards a bed with a partner. One is an “I love you kiss” (romantic) and the other is “let’s fuck now” (sexual).
- Comment on What is the difference between a platonic and a romantic relationship? 5 weeks ago:
I’m ace. Kissing and some cuddling makes me very uncomfortable, because it often leads to sex. There have been times that I thought I was sharing a sweet kiss with someone and suddenly they’re trying to slide hands under my clothes. So in my mind that was a romantic kiss, but to the other person it was sexual. This is why it’s so important for people like me to fully discuss things before we start dating someone.
There are different types of ace, you’ll see some aces say they are sex-favorable. That means they don’t feel sexually attracted to anyone, but they will engage in sex. On the opposite side of the spectrum is sex-repulsed. That’s me, I feel absolutely disgusted by sex.
- Comment on Japan sets new internet speed world record — 4 million times faster than average US speeds 5 weeks ago:
Avg US speed is kind of silly to compare to isn’t it? I mean, in most of my state satellite is still the most reliable and that’s 100mb/s at most
- Comment on sardonic soup 5 weeks ago:
My chemistry prof would repeat over and over that bitter is poison. Bitter is one of my favorite flavor types, after spicy. If I lived before the internet I totally would have died after eating a tasty salad of poison xD

You can think of it like performers. An actress is still an actress outside of her performances, but she won’t be the character she portrays. On the other hand there are music artists that take their character outside of a performance, in interviews for example. Lady Gaga and Poppy are people who come to mind in that regard

For real though, ADHD life is becoming about being a hacker in the least sexy ways possible

Rheumatoid arthritis can cause toes to curl into claws. There’s another autoimmune disorder that does this too, but I can’t remember which. Lupus maybe? Which would be fitting by name alone
- Comment on Facebook is asking to use Meta AI on photos in your camera roll you haven’t yet shared 1 month ago:
Facebook is a damn near a necessity in the area I live because no one wants to host their own websites. I’ve still not given in to making an account, but I’m starting to feel the struggle of not being able to contact small businesses.
So, I can imagine some of those users are multiples of the same person if they also have an account for their business

This is why I set the bottle in the bathroom sink after having this thought. Its hard to ignore something so out of place and in the way

This account is new, but lemme.ee was my home instance for two years. The Admin, sunaurus, was great, and I am impressed that he made it as long as he did before asking for help. You say it was stressful modding this community, so I’m sure you understandand how stressful it was for him to be the admin of such a popular and busy instance.
It really concerns me that you’re glossing over the fact that the Nazi glorification reports were all quickly dismissed by whichever mod(s). You’re trying to rewrite history, and again, it’s a funny thing to do with this instance going offline soon.
As the saying goes: if a Nazi sits at a bar and no one kicks him out, it’s a Nazi bar. How can you expect anyone to take conservatism seriously if you aren’t keeping the worst of humanity from being associated with it?
Take a breath. Let go of this. If Lemmy is “trash” for you, maybe this isn’t a good fit. That happens in life, and I get that you feel it’s unfair. But, it was pointed out in your other thread that the fediverse works in a way that you can be your own admin of a conservative instance, and you had at least one invite to one that is already up and running

It’s kind of funny to get banned when there’s only a few days left of the instance
