Apollo. Everyone in my house did. Two have stopped using reddit entirely, I’m still checking on a couple of communities until their counterparts take off here. I’m using Dystopia there now because I’ll never, ever download their shitty app.

Yeah, it’s a bad, bad time to be a wild bird right now, or anything that eats them. The list of mammals who’ve died from it is growing, and sea lions are getting wiped out by the thousands. I think only Australia and Antarctica are still virus-free (for now).
It doesn’t keep me up at night, but I’m definitely watching!
It’s necessary where I live too (inland Los Angeles) and we also keep our thermostat at 80 all summer. The summer power bills really hurt, but we have to. We’re unfortunately not in a position for solar financially but I really wish we were!
“We laugh so we do not cry.”
I’ve been following H5N1 pretty closely for several months and one of the first things I did on Lemmy was set up a community to post news stories to. !h5n1_avianflu@lemmy.sdf.org
5 more of the deceased cats in Poland were confirmed today to have died of H5N1 for a total of 34 now. There was a report that one of the owners provided a sample of raw chicken that had been fed to the cats, and it tested positive for H5N1. This was almost immediately followed up by a very defensive press conference with the Polish government insisting it wasn’t true; Poland supplies about 20% of the European market for chicken. Make of that what you will.
That none of the owners got sick is great news, but no one should be breathing easy about what’s happening globally. :|
Upvoted for visibility! 🤪
I started a community to track the H5N1 global outbreak but I do NOT want to moderate it long term; if it picks up, the anti-vax/Plandemic people are going to start showing up (they already do sometimes in the subreddit for it). I feel like opening the doors to Threads is going to hasten that.
It love the story too, it was really sweet in a way. I’m kind of surprised they never adapted it to film, but maybe Bobbin wasn’t the most charismatic main character for it considering you never see his face!
Wait, I have to pick one? No way! So:
Loom (PC) It Came From The Desert (Amiga) Wings (Amiga) Amber: Journeys Beyond (PC and the first game to truly scare the shit out of me) I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream (PC)
Off the top of my head :)
It makes you an awesome ally. 👍
We didn’t get it until the beginning of the year and it laid the household low. The younger people recovered more quickly than us middle-aged ones did. I think it was about two weeks before I really had my energy back.
It only took one person to take their mask off to eat indoors one time to get us all sick and he was really pissed at himself. 😐 We still mask because we have elderly parents, cancer patients, and a transplant patient in the family, and really don’t want to infect them.
Glad you’re feeling better!
I bet the gravel is warmer than the grass in the sun. :)
I thought it was +++ for extended ANSI graphics.
Me either, so I started a community for a subject I’m interested in and follow on reddit and I’m populating it with new content as the news comes in so new people can catch up. Be the change you want to see. Interact with that content and post more of it. Don’t just complain that it’s not being fed to you.
ETA: I might add that I have no intention whatsoever of moderating that community in the long term. If/when Lemmy grows, if that community picks up, I’ll be looking for someone to take it over.
I’m not really into beans and shitposting, but I don’t mind my feed flooded (yet) because it’s always good to see people being active and having fun.
Ha, me too, I figured it was just chugging or something.
That’s my biggest concern, too. People are fuckin’ weird and you never know what will set them off. Some people just can’t stand any sort of disagreement or pushback and might want to retaliate. I really think the source should remain invisible to other users.
That was my issue with it too! Xenomorphs are supposed to evolve, not DEvolve. Why would it trade chitin for skin? Made no sense.
Even though I hated it, I still bought it on Blu-ray. 🤪 I should take the shrinkwrap off and watch it. Maybe it won’t seem as bad now.
I sometimes feel like one of the only people who actually liked Alien 3, taken on its own. If you wanted Aliens 2 you were going to go away disappointed, but the storyline was very much like something out of the comics. Aliens: Sacrifice is one of my favorite graphic novels and it has a really similar feel to Alien 3.
That’s the issue I have with blocking NSFW too. I don’t want to see porn, but there is NSFW stuff I do want to see. You’re forced to throw the blanket over everything, regardless of what it is.
