Potatoes when cooked then cooled actually greatly lowers the glycemic index, so it’s weird but actually not a bad habit to have!
Watching Hellraiser 2 was pretty bad. I didn’t understand what was going on, but forever remembered the scary woman with no skin!
Joined! I still visit the subreddits, but it’d be nice to get some NFL traction on Lemmy. :)
Mine’s a bit dark. Dad’s family is from China. They had 7 boys including him. It’s a “mystery” what happened to the girl(s) but not really… It’s not spoken about and I don’t think anyone has the balls to ask anyway.
I’d imagine it’s easier to cheat at something if you’re online. Makes things less personal and takes away any sort of direct confrontation.
Oof, 41°C / 106°F with 80+ humidity is brutal. I can just imagine little to no winds and that air just sitting. I plan on visiting Japan someday but am definitely avoiding going during the peak summer months.
I haven’t played Rise, but the Monster Hunter series is pretty grindy in general
That top one’s got a cowlick on its head!
Damn. Glad there wasn’t any vision loss. Yeah I had shingles before too and got treated pretty quick, but it was definitely freaky reading how it could spread to your eyes and cause permanent damage.
Oh no, shingles in your eye?? How was that?
I see them more often in the SF bay area. They look clunky and ridiculous, plus they draw so much attention (when you should probably being trying to avoid attention).
That’s crazy. I did an ice cave tour on this same glacier just a month ago. I’m not sure but it’s possible it was the same ice cave because it was very accessible and had two entrances like described. So very unnerving!
Seems more trouble than it’s worth.
Anecdotal, but I think there’s some kind of immunity component. My parents grew up in a mosquito infested country. When we visited said country, us kids were bitten up while my parents were fine. If it was genetics, you think it would’ve been passed on to us. The locals commonly joked that mosquitos like “new blood.” You could see tourists with itchy red bite reactions while the locals were fine.
Damn that might be mine too. We didn’t get to have video games when I was little. Then I discovered PC gaming via Runescape😂
Tildes is a good example of a healthy community that allows for differences while encouraging good faith discussion. They police for tone instead of wrongness and it’s been working out over there. People are generally happy with the discourse.
A lot of it is in site design, too. There aren’t downvotes, because they’re not needed. There’s a lot of proactive moderation coming from the community by using comment labels. Labels help push comments up or down, and some require you to type a reason why, which encourages thoughtfulness instead of knee-jerk hivemind reaction and pile on. The ‘extremely bad’ label has a cooldown time limit, so people are less likely to abuse it. I believe once it’s used, the person labeling can no longer reply to the comment.
Too much growth too fast for sure! Much harder for Lemmy to create its own culture and maintain it. Much harder to discourage toxicity. Notice how healthy communities are often smaller.
Sucks for niche communities but they’ll get slowly spun up over time, and in the meantime they can be found in other places including Reddit. I don’t personally need everything to be a one-stop shop.
Dude they’re falling apart and shit
Ooh. I like the water ripples (looks great zoomed out) and increased sense of depth in the Monet one.
It’s very slow but biggest one I’ve found is [email protected]. It does have good engagement though when someone posts:)
