That person is one of the few usernames I consistently recognize here on lemmy as well, consistently has high quality comments and great arguments. Definitely a great person to have here on lemmy, thanks Flyingsquid!

He puts in 15 hours a day but I'm sure he's paid well.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. Well worth your time.

Foreign karma pressure farm. ...run by both Biden and Trump. It's all the same bed that's slept in.

I dig the healthy discussion and desire to actually have conversations.

[–] [email protected] 35 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (2 children)

100%. This isn't a dig at all. I just noticed how often I've seen their comments and now I can't not notice it.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 10 months ago

Hah I feel ya!

For me it's Squid and that one guy with the Buc-ee's pfp

Sorry. I'm just trying to do something with my time until I go to the Mayo Clinic on the 15th. I can leave though. Some people here seem to want me to...

Edit: Or maybe not the 15th. They lost my appointment. Rescheduled for March 28th. Meanwhile, I'm looking elsewhere.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Nah thanks for the content, and hope all goes well at the clinic! Keep posting if it helps you

[–] [email protected] 23 points 10 months ago (3 children)

It does help me. I won't go into my sad life, but Lemmy makes it better. Thanks!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Do what makes you happy, my dude/dudette. And good luck with the clinic visit!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago
[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago

thanks for contributing to lemmy, but if bettering your life means that you'll post less, by all means do that :)

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

For whatever it's worth, I like to see you posting.

From what I've seen one dude is salty and everyone else (including myself) is happy to have your contributions! I don't necessarily agree with you on everything you post, but you're respectful and actually back up what you say. I respect that a hell of a lot more than someone who I'm in complete agreement with, but plugs their ears at the first sign of pushback.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 10 months ago

Thanks. I hate the Reddit squabbling. I wish people could disagree without insults and I won't take part in it. I also think people should back up their claims. I don't expect everyone to feel the same way I do, I just wish so many people didn't.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Your content is much appreciated. Fuck the haters.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago
[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Who does? And why? Lemmy needs content, why wouldn't one appreciate your posts? ^^

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago (2 children)

You'd have to ask them. I'm definitely not universally loved or anything, but I'm grateful for the appreciation I get.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

If you have no haters, you're doing something wrong ;) (Ve)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Probably true!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

No one is universally loved. Everyone brave enough to put themselves out there will have people push back and talk trash. If doing what you do brings you some joy, do your best to ignore them and push on.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I'm actually worried about you, and your dry-heaving. Lemmy wouldn't be the same without you so don't die

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I appreciate it, but I don't think I'm dying quite yet. And it's definitely not cancer or anything like that. Honestly, despite all that, I feel fine most of the time. Which is part of what makes it so weird.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Random question, but do hot showers help? I noticed a while back that you mentioned weed on some comment or other. I once lived with this family who had a woman in her late 50's who was a chronic (and I mean CHRONIC) user. She was struggling with nausea that was only alieviated by hot showers (idk why she told me this we weren't close). Turns out there's a condition:

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago (2 children)

I'm afraid there's nothing for them to help with. Hyperemesis is extremely unlikely. I don't vomit, I dry heave. And usually only once a day, soon after I get up. And hyperemesis also involves nausea, which I don't have.

Beg pardon?

[–] [email protected] 20 points 10 months ago

My first day on Lemmy I saw them multiple times and thought it was a coincidence

It's been months now and I realize I'll see that name until the end of time.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Him and pug Jesus, in every single thread I stg

[–] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago (2 children)

same, but it's the Picard maneuver instead

I love you both🥰

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I've seen so many creative names here, I love it. Flying squid?! Picard maneuver?! What else is there?!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago
[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

So it isn’t just me. I commented a while back to FlyingSquid I see them and ThePicardManeuver all over the place.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago

There’s also the cheese_greater guy who always posts on asklemmy.
