Still ought to visit Uncle & Aunt who currently reside there, but yeah news of dwindling numbers is a bummer for sure...

Truly magical critters. Used to be at Gran's farm as a kid and catch em in your hands. Fields were just covered in em. Great memories.

Haven't been back in ages... I wonder how it's looking these days.

Still on a pretty old Galaxy 9, been putting off the upgrade forever. Not even sure what the cool kids are using these days. Need to hit that research phase a bit

Likely sound like cranky old man but I'll be catching phones with a jack as long as I can! Not mad about having the option for wireless, but I'm a bit of a purist.

Plus once in a blue moon I'll DJ without Wi-Fi and use the phone to pull up a tune I don't have in my physical storage. Much harder to do that without 3.5mm jack.

Oh, I fully acknowledge this sucks. Juuust as frustrated as anybody, friend.

So much reasonable discourse in these comments.

You somehow think "orange man" would be less into genocide? Genuinely? How???

Gonna be interesting to see how it plays out. Like, obviously want to see people earn more, but if both companies pull out these drivers will definitely be earning less, least until they figure out sum'm else.

Ripperoni in peace. :C

You're kidding, how did that escape me?!

I'm pretty guilty of forgetting to check anything other than pizza on their menu, but still!

Thanks for the heads up!

Begrudgingly picked this up when a bunch of buddies did. Have not touched once since Baldur's Gate 3 fully dropped. Honestly, kinda doubt I'll go back.

It was.. fine. Hard to know if I'm just over the isometric dungeon crawler or if it just failed to captivate me otherwise. That new Path of Exile looks kinda sick. Might test the theory on that.

Anybody still having fun on Diablo?

It's a combination of a few things. I've always been fairly chill, and I think these factors help further that zen.

Having a potent sense of humor makes it easy to laugh off anything from mundane to tragic. Always preferred to "laugh, so I don't cry." Easily my biggest coping mechanism.

Another good method I heard was this perspective exercise. When something irks you, stop and think "will I still be upset about this a week from now, month from now, year from now?" Usually the answer is no, I'll have completely forgotten about this mild inconvenience. If it's something I'll be upset about a year out, then I'm justified being upset in the moment.

Finally, another tool of perspective is the cosmic absurdity of it all. Here we are, sharing this tiny mossy pebble of a space ship called Earth, in the middle of the goddamn boondocks of outer space. If this entire planet disappeared overnight, the universe at large wouldn't even notice. For an inconceivable distance in every direction is a cosmic lifeless void. In the absolute grand scheme of things, all these little grievances are so insignificant. It's insane that any of us are here. We'll return to infinite nothingness soon enough. Take a deep breath, enjoy the ride while it lasts.

Idk maybe hit a joint once in a while too lol

Had to reset my password and login on compy browser just to leave this comment. :/ Something definitely a bit wonky on Jerby.

Shit is concerning for sure.. hate watching the growing number of folks urban camping. Those going through the toughest times and they keep getting kicked while they're down. It's about to get very cold here too.

Haven't sailed in a while, DM me tips on how to get my vessel sea-worthy again! 🏴‍☠️🦜

Not really since RIF is RIP. I do miss some extra content from niche communities, but I'm hoping Lemmy will grow enough to fill those gaps. Reddit was also a big news source, but I'll be hitting other news outlets until Lemmy gets there too.

Here's hoping Lemmy will be able to scratch my various music and art itches enough. No interest in going back to reddit these days though. The site I knew and loved over the last decade+ is no more. It's sucked seeing it devolve over the years. Feels a lot like when everyone's mom got facebook.
