Other than like O'Neill cylinders in cislunar space, or sod roofed community long houses.

Never mind that ending commodity housing destroys western civilization.

They're a fey witch who changes how they look to manipulate and prank and befuddle and seduce others. Their magic is dark, illusory, spooky, and nature based.

Some thoughts:

I Want To Be Evil - Eartha Kitt

Whatever Lola Wants (Lola Gets) - Sarah Vaughan

Trust In Me (Kaa's song from The Jungle Book)

Curveballs welcome, no wrong answers

I sort by New (rather than Hot for instance), myself.

Just randomly curious what other people are sorting at default, and if there's a common answer.


Kinda wish I could automagically sort comments by New as well. /shrug

I've tried on r**** in the past and have had terrible luck. I'm launching a new startup and have a basic landing page but would like to make it more professional, inspiring, etc. I do not want to feed it into AI and I do want to hire someone who will feed it into AI.

I've searched communities for a hiring/designer wanted type place and have come up empty handed. Where do you guys go to find talented designers?

All the best, Internet friend

Looking for songs that radiate twink energy to get in the zone for my next DnD. Would prefer a vibe that gives the impression that the singer has never once left the Onceler BMI. Any recommendations?

@asklemmy

Look, I get into character by listening to songs that I think my character would relate to. Thats what works for me; this ๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€๐ŸŒˆ character is just waaay outside of my normal range.

Bonus points if you manage to work on personal projects without leaving a trail IT can see on your work computer.

When we bought this lovely mid-century modern house a few years ago, my only real complaint was "I hate that fucking wall!"

Short term solution was to bury it behind bookshelves, but it's still there... LURKING. It irks me just knowing it's still there, that half-assed wainscoting made of plywood strips and blue paint.

At a minimum, my plan is to pull the plywood off and re-paint before putting the bookracks back, but there has to be something nicer.

Maybe something like this above the bookracks where the wall is exposed? I dunno. I'm open to ideas.

Say if someone came up to you and asked "If you were a boy/girl what would your name be?" could you answer them without needing think or is that not something most people give a thought to?

When someone repeats an argument that has been proven false /badly argued many times before, but keeps repeating it in hopes of drowning out opposition or derailing a thread. Yet not disruptive enough to get banned on forums, as it wraps itself in non-hostile, nicely written sentences.

How exactly do moderators deal with this kind of behaviour?

Television and Radio are 75% advertisement.

Most of my favorite youtubers from 2010s are gone replaced with nonstop politics, drama, reaction, and streaming content farming.

I feel it in my heart that short form content is damaging everyones attention spans especially my tablet ridden younger family members.

Weekend trips to Blockbusters to rent out a game and movie is gone.

When I go into the search bar on YouTube I see stuff literally called "brain break" and "brain rot".

I switch on the news and its 90% pure political propagandano matter the station.

Even the memes suck now, say what you want about caption memes and dancing babies and troll face, Pepe, me gusta but that shit was at least comprehensible in humor. go on 67 Wikipedia and it literally says "It has no fixed meaning."

Even the steam store just feels different now. Its full of gooner porn bait visual novels and mundane activity sims and 1 season relevant fps shooters.

All the stuff I enjoyed is gone, and everything they make now seems so empty and pessimistic now. The last bastion of enjoyment zi have is older media and indie made stuff by a few select artist/small teams . Is this just me getting old yelling at clouds, or is something wrong?

Purchased one of these to give to my friend's dog, but it kinda came out of the store with these black hairs(?) and some muddy(?) parts. Didn't find anything on the internet on which products should I use and how do I clean one of these, so...

I am not sure how to word this. I have noticed that some mods have multiple accounts across the fediverse that have the same name and those accounts are modding in the same community. Take for example c/wnc where I mode. If I went over to piefed and crated an account name profthadbach there and add that account as a mod to c/wnc. I am sure that is cool because I have seen it a bunch. Now my question is if I create a community over at piefed called c/wnc and I post some article there do they show up in the lemmy.world c/wnc community and vice versa?

Ah the humble service set identifier! It seems to have grown from a simple way for access points to identify themselves to potential clients to a little public bulletin board for airing one's grievances toward noisy neighbors or showcasing one's wit.

What notable SSIDs have you run into out in the wild or created yourself?

As a little background to the question, I'm moving from where I live because cost of living is way too high. I have found a few apartments that are within my budget but they all have "complementary WiFi". Is there anything I should be aware of?
