Jame-o to stop the pain-o

Big into tripels at the moment also. There’s a very tasty peach tripel out of Richmond, VA that I’ve been stuck on for a bit.

The only way to win is to not play in c/memes@lemmy.ml

Are you kidding me? I would kill for a user base that over reports.

Better that than the guy who downloads taxformpdf.exe and runs it without a second thought.

An extra room in the house? Sounds like a dream to me, haha. What kind of stuff do you find in those?

cries in nowhere to store things

I'm an "unprepared for exam" kind of guy.

I've been out of school for a number of years, but I still have recurring nightmares about finals I didn't know were coming.

Never exactly the same (tonight was an exam on logical operators? which I know pretty well out here in the real world?) but some things are usually constant:

  • I always find out days before a final exam that I was enrolled in a class I needed to graduate, but never attended because I didn't know it was on my schedule
  • I'm always the only person who is unprepared, and the Professor is always cognizant of this fact
  • I always decide not to study in the buildup, and completely wing it (c'mon, dream me! Get it together!)
  • The exam is always "high stakes" -- meaning there will be very negative consequences if I don't pass.
  • The exam room always feels like it's oriented incorrectly -- this one is hard to explain, but do you ever walk into a room and everything is oriented right-to-left instead of left-to-right?
  • I always wake up right as time for the exam runs out, so I never find out the results

And for what it's worth -- I did very well in school. This never happened to me, so I don't know where this one comes from, save for general preparedness-anxiety.

Sometimes I wake up and read up on the topic ... for next time.

What about you, kbeans / Lemmings? What haunts your sleep?

Reddit communities with millions of followers plan to extend the blackout indefinitely in c/RedditMigration@kbin.social

Good -- I hope they do. But more than that, I hope that the userbase doesn't return.

I don't care if they choose kbin/Lemmy/Squabbles(?)/Pr0nhub Comment section/Whatever or a combination of those things -- but I hope they don't return to Reddit.

This is an exciting new opportunity for the internet, imo. Why rely on a single point of failure?

Can't wait for his next project -- Christian is a class act, and Apollo was the only thing keeping me on Reddit.

The keyboard in the lap is a power-move.

Sad to see Reddit go in c/lemmyworld@lemmy.world

I dunno... I'm excited to be here instead of there. It's something fresh and new.

The content will follow. And frankly, I'd rather talk with a handful of people than a hive mind.

I remember what Reddit was like a decade ago. I'm excited to try something that -- at least in some small way -- feels like that did.

Today at 23:00 GMT, there will be a 30-minute technical break in c/kbinMeta@kbin.social

You're kicking ass, man. Keep it up.
