- Comment on Huh? 1 week ago:
If you happen to be in Ottawa, I have a couple suggestions via PM. Otherwise, stuff that fits the feel you’d probably like exists, but is generally overshadowed by more establishment spots. Takes a little digging (and even what’s there may not suit your tastes).
Not neccessarily a bad thing though, alcohol being a poison and whatnot (I just happen to like poison).
Caveat - I’ve never been in Europe long enough to know the exact feel of a good homey Euro pub, for comparison purposes.
- Comment on dating 1 week ago:
If it’s any consolation many of us are old fogeys (from an internet perspective), and likely understood it immediately. I know I did!
- Comment on we need more users 2 weeks ago:
I think part (though not all) of the issue is discoverability. There’s other communities where this isn’t as prevalent, but a) they’re not always easy to find, and b) for this as well as other reasons, they might not be super active (if people don’t know it exists, who’s posting?)
I get around the first bit by trawling All New once and a while. One feature I will say I liked on reddit was the random community function. But while I like that it’s a smaller userbase here for some reasons, it does mean less diversity of interests.

Eh, I feel it’s still appropriate. Guy didn’t like smoking in general, so celebrate by releasing a big ol’ cloud of silly smoke.

When I die and go to hell, imma just be a delicious gooey puddle and might be placed on jello ('cause it is hell after all)

I didn’t know I needed this in my life until now. Thank you!
- Comment on Ska ftw 3 weeks ago:
Decent recommendations here, but I will always suggest the ska version of I Wanna Riot for playlist purposes.
I’ve always wanted to see a high school band cover this, and every year I just want that more.
- Comment on Ska ftw 3 weeks ago:
There’s a sticker at a venue here with Batman pimp slapping Robin as he says this that I think about a lot.
- Comment on What're your strong opinions from an aged / dead fandom? 4 weeks ago:
Yes, but in a show with major themes about women’s empowerment it’s a weird device to lean on that much.
- Comment on What're your strong opinions from an aged / dead fandom? 4 weeks ago:
There are so many times where the Scouts would straight-up die or and Negaverse cronies would win the day if he didn’t show up, throw a flower and talk. Enough times to the point where I wondered “Hey, wtf is the message here exactly?”
- Comment on What're your strong opinions from an aged / dead fandom? 4 weeks ago:
I have some very hot takes about the efficacy of the Sailor Scouts given exactly how much Tuxedo Mask does. This is why my ex-wife and kid, who only wanted to enjoy a magical girl show, stopped watching Sailor Moon around me anymore.
- Comment on Survey reveals most people are holding onto their phones for a long time, and it makes sense 4 weeks ago:
What I think’s funny is it’s still on its first battery. S20 FE, went through a skateboarding ‘phase’ and rarely used a case, so the poor thing has been beaten up pretty badly.
Did pick up a used S22 Ultra a couple months ago, but this was a mistake. It has have significant issues staying connected to my mobile network and apparently this is a common problem. Gave up the ghost and just put my SIM back in the S20, the Ultra’s just my Pocket Paint mini tablet at this point.

Lol.
The adhesive was pretty much come entirely off the back panel. My camera lens literally fell off the other day. My usb port has been unusable for years. There’s more than a reasonable chance it will eventually blow up in my pocket.
Still using it, though I probably actually should upgrade or get a quote for repair or something. But I’ve been saying that for like 15 months now.
- Comment on well now I don't know what to think 4 weeks ago:
Gross, now people are going to associate Santa with lies!
- Comment on well now I don't know what to think 4 weeks ago:
There’s something about the statement “Come visit Santa’s Workshop, just off the Whiteface Memorial Highway!” that feels … idk? Off, or perhaps a bit on the nose?
But regardless it’s obviously cope, we all know Santa lives in Canadian territory in the H0H forward sortation area.

I was waiting for someone to do this.
- Comment on surely your hobby can't be that expensive 5 weeks ago:
My ex decided to take up photography. She’s now essentially semi-pro and it was a terrible financial decision for all involved.
Christmas lists started to get reeeal aspirational. No, you are not getting a lense that’s the financial equivalent of a decent used car for Christmas. Go shoot more gigs and weddings.
- Comment on Clippy had the best suggestions 5 weeks ago:
This is true. But I have met some - didn’t like most, liked 2 or 3 (only thinking it’s a damn shame they were on a dark path)
- Comment on This bedroom game is weird 5 weeks ago:
I’ve grown content with the fact there are some aspects of the human experience I will never know first hand or need to know, and that’s ok.
I always make sure to nod or high-five the person I see in the puppy mask at shows sometimes, then leave them to their mysterious doings. Sometimes, it’s good enough to know a door exists - you don’t always have to open it.
- Comment on Clippy had the best suggestions 5 weeks ago:
Oooh it’s been pretty tempting there, Clippy m’lad. But the group of hard drug users I’ve met and liked is pretty low (not zero, though), which holds me back a bit.
- Comment on There exist people who will go through the effort of leaving their home, traveling to a movie theatre, paying for a ticket, and sitting for 2-3 hours for a movie they claim "nobody wants to see" 1 month ago:
What got me back into theatres was going out and being around people without actually, you know, being around people “post”-COVID. That and I wanted to support my local indie theatre, 'cause it’s cool and stood a huge risk of going out of business during the pandemic.

I think on the whole, we do a little better at this than other platforms. Does depend on the subject, but I see more positive, respectful interactions here than other platforms.
Always a good reminder though!
- Comment on Introverts Rock 1 month ago:
Man, extroverts who collect introverts, or introverts who put the necessary energy into collecting other introverts, are some of my favourite people.
Know one of the latter who made it a personal mission to make a very cool, but very reserved person her best friend. Took a lot of effort but it’s a beautiful friendship that’s actually kinda inspiring to see.
- Comment on Study reveals that dark web users show significantly higher levels of depression, paranoia, suicidal thoughts, self-injury, and digital self-harm compared to surface web users 1 month ago:
It’s also used for anonymous communication where there’s significant privacy concerns, there’s several news organizations that have a dark web presence for sharing sensitive information.
But yeah, there’s a lot of that other stuff going on as well.

Yep, the term they were looking for is clear web.
- Comment on How Lemmy users feel when they delete their Reddit account 1 month ago:
Damn, now I’m getting a vague memory of an edgier website in this vein, but I’m stumbling on the name. Steak and Kidney Pie or something?
Only real memory is that there was some really dark humour shit on it.
- Comment on Ammu-Nation (San Andreas) ? 1 month ago:
When I used to go to California, after a certain point I always got hit with severe GTA V uncanny valley vibes.
- Comment on The Fediverse and Content Creation: Monetization 1 month ago:
Maybe something like Patreon
Well we do have Liberapay. It’s not perfect in that it only addresses the payment angle (with the issue around processors noted by the other reply still present), and doesn’t allow for subscriber only content, but it’s something.
I think between something like this and a few other things (dunno much about PeerTube etc. or if ‘private’ posts are a thing where you could maintain a ‘mailing list’ of donor accounts and grant them access to exclusive stuff), it’s possible to cobble something together. Lot of management would be required in the backend compared to more mainstream approaches at this point, though.
Just thinking outloud, there’s probably stuff I’m not considering here. Re: an eStore…idk, only thing I can think of is a DIY webstore relying on emails and money transfer services if trying to avoid mainstream eCommerce stuff (same way people used to sell pot on the clearweb back in the very early days, lol).

Just a general reminder to people that college stations still exist, blow most other stations out of the water if you want a better variety of music, and the one closest to you would love your support. And lots of them would also love volunteers from the community!
