I’m starting to realize this also. At first, Lemmy seemed great with conversations, but it’s starting to shift waaay too far left and I’m a liberal myself.

Honestly considering going back to Reddit… just sucks because the only mobile option is their shitty app.

That’s why I clarified in my reply..

You should re read my reply and try again..

That's great! I'm glad you found something that works for you. Like I said, my laptop is running Linux (Arch btw) and I've had fun learning a new OS and I do enjoy the lack of bloatware.

I guess what I meant to say is that people act like windows is unusable, as in, they can't figure out how to use the OS like it's something very complex.

I couldn't help but look at your post history, and I see that you're against Russia invading Ukraine. Well our same politicians that are feeding us shit slop are the same ones that are sending billions of dollars to Ukraine in aid and supplies to help Ukraine win this war.

Again the U.S. isn't perfect, but people always seem to have to find a way to make it sound like it's the worst country in the world when in reality it's not.

I've lived in a couple of different countries myself and speaking with the natives there, I would hear so many things they considered that was bad about their country and government, and how they would love to live in the U.S. I was always confused about this because I hear so much negativity about the U.S. online but in reality it seems quite the opposite.

I was taught American exceptionalism and said the national anthem every school day of my childhood, K-12.

I was too and did the same, but I was taught to break away from the mold and usual thinking as a young adult pretty early on (thank you parents and to some of my teachers). I'm sorry to hear that those people in your life lied to you and never thought to help you break out of that mold.

The states is so vast that what you're saying doesn't always apply to another person. It's funny because you mention being born in Seattle and growing up in LA. Well I was born in Georgia and most people would have you believe living in the south is shit (which to be fair, some places are), but I can say my life experience has been completely different than yours.

As I mentioned before the states has its problems for sure but it's not all bad and your experience can vastly differ from another.

• The amount of people that like to shit on the U.S. constantly... Like damn I get it, we definitely have problems, but people here would have you think it's like the wild wild west over here... I promise I'm not fearing for my life every time I go out.

• The extreme left views (I'm liberal myself but some of the things people say here really have me scratching my head sometimes)

• The amount of Windows bad, Linux good posts.

• The amount of people that immediately shit on Apple because of privacy, but use an Android device that accesses the Google Play store (yes I know you can install custom privacy roms, but let's be real, how many casual users are doing this?)

• People always asking if something is FOSS...

These are just a few off the top of my head.

This! I use Linux on my laptop but also have a desktop that runs Windows 10. Some people here act like windows is completely unusable when in reality it's much more user friendly than Linux.

They absolutely should but I'm going to guess no.

Got it! I pressed it before but it wasn’t loading. Guess I just needed to give it a little time. Sorry for the trouble and thanks for the help!

Hmm strange. Maybe it’s something I’m doing wrong but I’ve attached a picture of what it looks like for me when I go to the bookmarks tab.

It’s like I get the point of this war but at the same time it’s just something about the music playing in the background like it’s some kind of call of duty montage that makes me feel uneasy about it.

I was in the military too and there are often times where I didn’t agree with certain things but it’s part of the mission.

Idk, it’s just sad and unfortunate all around.

These people have friends and family that I’m sure care about them..

Thank you!

Pikmin 4. My sister surprised me with it for my birthday! Enjoying it so far, and it’s very relaxing to play.

Hey man, you do you. Who am I to stop you?

I just want to put it out there that even though I get your intent, it’s not necessarily something that will be taken without criticism. I’d rather people not get in trouble for stealing, no matter if you think it’s justified or not.

For people that are in need of food assistance and located in the U.S. you can visit here https://www.fns.usda.gov/snap/state-directory and select the state you’re living in. That should get you started in receiving food assistance and necessities from the government.

No worries! I was just a little confused when I tried it on my iPhone and it worked.

I was able to uninstall all of the apps you just mentioned on iPhone just to cure my curiosity.

Which Apple device is not letting you uninstall those apps?

All jokes aside.

Please people, do not actually steal from these stores. This is the quickest way to get arrested and end up with a criminal record.

The prosecutor is not going to give a damn what your reasons were for stealing so please keep that in mind.

Oh I've actually been told by fat people that there's no way that I actually enjoy working out and that I'm forcing myself to go to the gym while not enjoying it.

Guess it's weird I like improving my physique and enjoying seeing how I can reach new goals ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Living in Japan for a couple of years made me this way.
