Yeah a lurk but I don’t post unless maybe it’s for work or something like that. I do feel like the quality has dropped pretty sharply. The home feed is absolute trash. Constant feed of random shit like r/decks, the ads were pretty bad before I discovered RedReader but overall it doesn’t capture my attention the way it used to. Even the comments feel dumber but that could be my imagination.

Nothing in here yet? I guess I’ll start… FUCK THE DODGERS

He was so bad everyone was going to go with him to Microsoft?

I only had ‘undetermined’ selected for a language option, I added English and all is good. Thank you though.

You mean every Republican president. Democrats have not chased trickle down economics.

You mean like tax cuts for the rich to fix every problem? Because that’s all they have.

Complex characters are outdated? It also refers to special characters but I guess that’s what I was thinking of. So special characters are in, so what is a complex character then?

Thank you for the crash course. This is extremely helpful. I’m not sure if you saw the other post about not seeing comments but you nudged me into fixing it. I only had undetermined selected for the language and not English, but anyway thanks for pointing me in the right direction on the printers.

@IMALlama I think my account is borked. I can see the comments in my inbox but on my post I can only see my comment. It says (6) comments but I only see mine. A number of communities don’t seem to show up properly, I thought it was just a Lemmy issue but maybe it’s a me issue. I also didn’t think this community was even active because the newest posts are a couple months old for me but I’ve gotten good feedback so thanks for all of the advice and the crash course.

Thanks, that’s about what price I had in mind. It’s been awhile since I’ve priced them so I’m happy to see decent ones under $200.

I’m not sure. I’m starting from zero so either? I’m pretty technically inclined but I’m hoping it’s easy enough to keep my teenaged daughter interested, if that makes a difference.

I wonder if I accidentally turned the alarm off when I was checking…

I guess there wasn’t really question there so, how do I fix that?

I only see one guy against divorce and they’re heavily down voted.

We’ll just go 12 feet under

Oh. I guess I thought it would be funnier.

I’d like to see you’re wife’s version of this post.

which has the potential each and everyday to ruin it all for them (which is a compulsive intrusive thought in my mind). But I hang on, I try to.>

Are you fighting the urge to off yourself or the urge to off your family? In either case I hope you’re finding adequate support/therapy, if not ask for help here. Hopefully your state or country has resources available.

No interaction? I hope you’re talking to your baby, staring into their eyes, playing with their hands… you don’t just plop a baby down and wait for it to grow. You are teaching the baby right now. They are taking in way more than you realize. When I didn’t know what to say I would just sing the alphabet song or walk around the room pointing out colors or names of different objects. I swear by teaching babies sign language for the basics. Mine was signing milk at just a few months old, cuts down on crying when they can communicate exactly what they want. And everyone says it but it’s true, these early baby days fly by and you should try to appreciate every stage, good or bad.

It’s kind of an extreme stance, are people going to stop listening to the Beatles, Pink Floyd… all these great bands that had shitty people? Can you discard Hitchcock films because he was a piece of shit? So many pieces of art were made by bad people.
