Because swearing was strictly forbidden in my household and i picked it up in late high school and early college partially as an act of defiance.

I made friends also more interested in content and quality of thought than on politeness and that was dope AF.

Now it's part of my lexicon, just a casual turn of phrase.

"Ay yo, that shit is fire" conveys the same sentiment as "Wow! That's really cool."

I'm a mechanical engineer and a writer. Words are words. They have meanings and those meanings change over time and with context/audience.

People who don't ever swear feel repressed to me. It's a weird vibe. Not a fan.

Depends on your use case. If you like the content or communities that exist here, then obviously stay. Lemmy/Kbin/Mbin feel fairly stable about what communities exist and which get actual traffic, so make your decision based on your interests and interactions, as well your beliefs.

I'm on Reddit way more often than I'm on here cause my favorite subreddits don't exist here in any capacity oe have minimal activity

Sure! Your reasons are valid and I'm not asking you to defend them.

I certainly don't like everything in any of those categories either. I've got slices I'm into, but yeah, the broad categories are def part of my interests.

Blocking regional communities is one thing, sure.

I was partially joking, but anime, cartoons, sports, and some tasteful/ethical NSFW are all topics I'm hella interested in but don't get much play here. There's basically no boxing/MMA/basketball/football here.

Each day i feel too normie for this place

I'm not into the skinny models that most porn features and a lot of irl porn comes with a host of ethical issues,

Wait, you're blocking porn, sports, and anime?

Those are the fun parts...

It varies wildly from person to person, and my wife and I work so well as partners cause we have vastly different lists of what we consider exhausting.

Specifically for me?

  • Well-intentioned but unskilled people who insist on helping but don't have the capacity to do so or the self-awareness to understand when their efforts are counterproductive
  • Talking to my side of the family
  • Checking work emails. Not writing them. Just checking them.
  • Code-switching to talk to white people.
  • Watching shows or reading books I dislike just for the sake of completing them
  • Dealing with zoners in fighting games
  • Lingering in silent spaces.
  • Following recipes.

Talking to strangers? No issue. High intensity games? Let's do it. Complicated or arduous manual labor? Hell yeah.

"Scaring the hoes" is a catch all term for when the things men enjoy in private or with other men create environments that are inhospitable to women.

I've always heard it in a comedic context, said with nearly the same tone as when Eustace berates Courage the Cowardly Dog.

Damn, that's fucking awful. What female-centric communities existed? I know what ones my wife follows on Reddit but not their analogues here

Edit: Nevermind. The Reddit communities i found with analogues here are dead AF. Even the big pooular stereotypical topics like Fashion, cooking, weight loss, wedding planning, cozy games, skincare, hair styles, TV shows, romance books, dating, are all dead here.

Goddam, Lemmy users literally scared all the women away.

A real life example of "Stop scaring the hoes"

I am increasingly unable to take this place seriously.

This makes sense considering who is here, but I would be very interested to see a Lemmy/kbin demographics survey.

Increased rates of neurodivergence on a leftist founded Reddit alternative?

It's less "venture to guess" and more "I'd bet my life savings on that being true."

Shit. I'm here with ADHD.

diss tracks are a weird balance of "catchy + beat + personal insults" that makes them hard to rate/score outside of context

The RDNA 2 vs Ampere generation featured the 6900 XT vs the 3090 in a really competitive showdown.

The RDNA 3 vs Ada generation sees AMD compete really strongly everywhere except the very very top. The 7900 XTX is cheaper and faster at raster than the 4080 and 4080 Ti in most cases (with worse efficiency and RT), for instance. You can make a competitive argument for either company at each pricing segment except Nvidia below $200 and AMD at the very very top.

That's a farrrr cry from "the 8700 XT competes with the 5070, but past that there's no AMD card"

It's reminiscent of the RDNA 1 vs Turing, where the 6700 XT and 2070 were competitive but AMD had no answer for the 2080, let alone the 2080 Ti, except this time it'll be more obvious since they'll be a 5090 as well.

 

I was excited for the Krakoa/House of X/Powers of X era of X-Men where they're actually doing well for once instead of living in Hell and fighting to stay alive.

I eventually fell off near Dawn of X or X of Swords because my attention is limited and fickle but i wanna get back to it and finish it.

So if i want to read the whole saga, can you help me with the order of the trades, and what, if anything is vital to enjoying or reading the story and may not be in the collected trades?

 

Exactly what the title says.

What has your experience been on any of those platforms? Which captures more of your time? Why?

I'm relatively new here but I've read a little on the reddit-like platforms. I (mostly) understand what's a fork of what or what some of the technical differences are, but I'm curious about the vibes and communities.
