Someone who has gone through US customs please comment if this actually happened to you. I see way too many straw man cartoons, and I hate to see a Ben Garrison of the left.

What do you mean? I have my Amazon prime robo pants put themselves on me one leg at a time like any average human.

What instruments have the most relaxing timbre to you? in c/[email protected]

Get me a good Rhodes and I'm in bliss. A good horn section can squeeze a beautiful chord melody. And a bagpipe is what I send to my enemies.

Cartography Anarchy has Moved! (lemmynsfw.com)
 

Hey all,

everybody pray for sh.itjust.works as I have chosen that instance for our new community.

Why sh.itjust.works? First, because it was the easiest to set up. Secondly, it is a pretty unserious instance, and if there is one thing I want for cartographyanarchy is to continue our tradition of whimsey and white collar crime.

Please take a moment to join our new community, and please make at least one post to inflate our numbers to concerning levels.

Thank you everyone who has helped out with this project, y'all rock, and I'm glad we can be accomplices.

The Future of cartographyanarchy (lemm.ee)
 

To my fellow cartographers, memelords, virgins, and Jeb Bush;

It is clear that cartographyanarchy will be moving to another instance to survive, and I will also need to create a new Lemmy account. First, let us have a moment of silence for lemm.ee, and then a second moment of silence for whatever unfortunate instance we move to.

Alright thank you.

I will be taking steps to make this transition as smooth and obnoxious as possible.

First, I will of course have a new meep_launcher account. This doesn't effect anyone but I wanted to say this to remind everyone I exist and to fill that pit in my soul that can only be filled with constant adoration and attention.

Second, I will set up another community of the same name, taking care to preserve the essence of what we have here while burning any and all incriminating evidence.

Third, you will expect a stickied post to redirect to the new community in the new instance that never asked for this.

Fourth, I will call open season on posting, reposting, and filling the new community with any and all maps that are found here. I'm much more concerned with the community building back up as soon as possible over whatever fake internet points people have accrued. Please, take all my memes, I'm not going to go through the trouble to try and move everything over. We can come back to this instance when it is locked later to remember the good ol' days.

Fifth, I will make a strong drink to unwind. Hell, comment if you'd be interested in joining me, I can set up time to do a lil' video hangout to celebrate the transition so long as we are the good kind of weird.

My plan is to get this done by Sunday June 8th, 11:43 Pacific Standard Time. Is that my time zone? No, but I miss Seattle.

IF THIS DOESN'T GET DONE IN TIME

I requested to be drawn and quartered, and someone else, preferably from our mod team, can take up the torch. I'm always happy to lead when I can, but I rely on this community to drag my body across the finish line.

Anyway, it's been an honor to make maps with you, and here's to a thousand year reign of terror going forward.

[META] About lemm.ee shutting down in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Hey thanks all, sorry I've been a bit slammed with work.

Considering that we popped up to 1k followers in about a year, I'm confident we can get things back up pretty fast.

I'll get a new community set up this weekend. If I don't, either harass me or just take over, I'm currently producing a musical and music directing 4 different shows so I'm pretty pooped.

I like you just the way you are in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'm crying

But also right now I've been imploding and I am the bad guy, and I don't know how to forgive myself. Like 4 days after ending a relationship with the kindest person I've ever met because I want kids and she doesn't, I spiraled and slept with my roommate who also had a break up. I then broke down at our housewarming party and told my ex and she hates me now, but she's a huge part of my life still. I'm trying to patch things up with my roommate but I'm worried I'm leading her on, and then we found out a new friend of mine has been gossiping about the situation after I went to his in an absolute broken state.

This all comes down to my fault and I just can't keep going with the shame. I don't want to be me anymore.

Please Mr. Rogers give me strength.

Honestly I think half of "leftists" you see online are just right wingers yelling in bad faith to create a rift. They know we are so ideological and ready to cancel each other if we fail to meet our purity tests that they just need to toss in a match to make the left crumble.

Aside, aperantly Christianity is making a comeback with Gen Z, and one theory is that at least Christianity has an element of forgiveness (turn the other cheek), where atheists who base their morals on secular philosophy can become very harsh in their criticism and once someone is out, they are out. I can absolutely see the appeal of this change for the youth. I only say this as sometimes we do need to look in the mirror. If we are so smart, why do we always lose?

Of course this is the Internet where we kinda just bring out the worst in people.

What's your "this wasn't weird until you made it weird" story? (lemm.ee)

I realized why I stayed with my emotionally hurtful partner for so long (lemm.ee)

Just sharing in case it helps anyone.

I had a partner who constantly was making me feel bad about my body and kept telling me I wasn't smart and that they knew deep down I was a shitty person. But they said it in a way of "I will fix you so you understand that and accept how shitty you are".

At first I didn't believe it, then I recognized the red flags and broke up, but by happenstance they came back and put on a show I fell for, and then it started again but it took months for me to leave it.

I realized they made me feel shitty, and then reinforced that I was, and basically I believed that I was a piece of shit but they were the only person telling me the truth. They were the only one who saw me as I am.

I eventually was able to get out, but it really took a toll.

Anyway I just met someone who is the KINDEST person I know and while I won't thrust any responsibility to help me on them, they are already helping me heal. Maybe the fact they are helping me heal on their own volition shows how kind they are.

Anyway I'm a little drunk and my ex showed up with their new partner I guess, but it was an event they knew I'd be at, and they saw my bike outside of the venue, and chose to come in holding hands anyway. I left immediately and I'm home now but yea fuck them.

Do you identify with your country of origin/ citizenship or with another subregion? Why? (lemm.ee)

Personally I feel more connected to the Vancouver BC/ Seattle/ Portland corridor than with the rest of the US, so I feel more comfortable saying I'm a Cascadian than an American.

Europeans of Lemmy, is American beer really that bad? (lemm.ee)
 

I usually assume when Europeans complain about American beers, they just are complaining about our "domestic" beers like Bud Light, Coors, PBR, etc. which makes sense, they are our bottom shelf beers.

I recently chatted with someone at a party who said "no, all American beers are bad" including microbrewery beers.

I've never been to Europe so I wouldn't know, but I do like my Left Handed Milk Stout, NWPAs, and hell even the hipstered out IPAs.

Are these what y'all are referencing?

Heaven is a Peanut Farm [OC] (i.imgur.com)
 

Heaven is a peanut farm

One for you and me

With friends and music, banquets and balls

And a good man named Jimmy

.

Heaven is a peanut farm

Surely it's the best

There's a porch with a sleeping dog

One where you can find rest

.

They say there is a man out there

Who made sure every heart he would fill

When God said "it's okay, you can stop your work now"

He said "no, I don't think I will"

.

When you come to this peanut farm

You will be filled with this delight

Friends and family, we gather 'round

To wish Mr. Carter goodnight

Mark your calendars everyone. We have a new national holiday.

[email protected] was something I stole from that other site, and with very minimal work I rode on the hard work of others to give me a feeling of superiority. I am so proud of all the work I took credit for, and for all the maps that create a reality we'd rather live in.

This is a fantastic Christmas gift, and I will donate all the money I have made on this site to the Church of Latter Day Saints and also the Church of the Satanic Temple just to cover my bases. I hope we all celebrate tonight by drinking a handle of hand sanitizer, snorting some ketamine, giving whipits to at risk youth, and fighting a cop with a sword.

We have done some amazing work, and I have made some amazing announcements to celebrate arbitrary subscription milestones which is what head mods do I guess. I want to thank [email protected] for constantly posting at the expense of their family and friends, [email protected] for teaching me how to sniff glue, [email protected] for their posts and commitment to corporate espionage, and for all of you who came here by mistake. You may never leave.

Happy Holidays and I hope you have an unhinged new year,

~Meep

How is BlueSky any different from other major social media platforms? (lemm.ee)
 

So I thought that BlueSky was set up just like Lemmy in that it was fully decentralized into a sort of "terrorist cell" structure that wasn't focused on profits, but then found out that BlueSky has a CEO. Since this is a business, what makes BlueSky fundamentally different from Twitter or Instagram?

I feel like so long as a social media platform exists through monetization (in some form or another private companies need to make money), we are ultimately replacing one dictator with another.
