I wake up angry and disappointed every day. And it usually takes me a couple of hours to work my way out of bed.

I keep hoping I’ll wake up and it haven all been some twisted dream. 🤷‍♂️

~Anyway, I hope your day doesn’t suck too bad!~

You really should read The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. 😂

The examples of a parking lot, highway at night, and closed bus terminals are examples of things that should be busy that are not. So that doesn’t exactly clarify what a liminal space was versus what it is now. At least, it doesn’t for me.

My guess (from personal experience): soda from a dispenser mixes the carbonated water with the syrup when it’s being dispensed.

Unlike Coke, Fanta, and other unnaturally colored drinks, Sprite is clear. If the syrup runs out mid-dispensing, you won’t know it until you sit down and drink it.

And it is one of the most wretched tasting abominations you’ll ever encounter in this god-forsaken world. It’s the stuff of nightmares.

The fact that I need a game pass to play LAN games is what drove me away.

That’s deep. And dark. And, dare I say, dank.

But if they did what you suggest then they couldn’t bash America as easily. Come on! Get with the program!

Story time: once upon a time, back when I was much, much cooler than I am now, I used to ride a motorcycle. I had this bad habit of riding with the visor up and no sunglasses. That is, until one day, a bug got stuck in my eyelid. I had to ride for 30 minutes like that before I got home and was able to wash out my eyeball.

Moral of the story: eye protection! Always eye protection!

That’s neat. But unrelated to the conversation. Thanks though.

…less than five miles, or a 10-minute drive…

I think you mixed that up. 🤷‍♂️

~comprehend before you bash cultures.~

You win today’s internet.

Welcome! As a new mod of a community that recently went through similar growing pains (and rules updates), I can appreciate the challenges ahead of you and @ayyy@sh.itjust.works. You sound like you’ve got a good head on your shoulders, and that will do a lot for you and this community. There is nothing more humbling than being given a responsibility like this (at least, that’s how I feel: YMMV).

It is my understanding that mods from different instances than the community do not (always?) see the mod reports for the community (or get notified?). It might be worth looking into more just to be sure.

Also, I’d love to learn more about your local AI setup. I’ve been interested in doing something like that myself, but I am not sure where to start. 😊

I’ve only made this once, and it wasn’t that great. But, I’m going to try again and I have a few tweaks that’ll hopefully make it better.

Also, something I recently learned is to spend the extra money at the fancier grocery stores for the produce and meats. You really do get what you pay for!!

Careful you don’t get banned for being an eco fascist. 🫣

Happy cake day you crazy bird!

mazel tov!!

We should send a delegation out into the stars for a few hundred years so they can come back and tell us.

~I have a few names I’d like to nominate.~

So a sort of laser from space?
