The premade soylents are pretty good, and I regularly have them with a protein bar as my lunch. They’re pretty expensive in my opinion, so I try and look for them on sale, but the ease of not having to prep lunch is often worth it. I try and keep it under $2 a bottle for the 14oz ones, which still feels expensive to me, but some of the lunches I prep are around that cost, and it’s way cheaper than going out to eat (I keep a spare one at work in case I ever forget to bring lunch)

These all sound like good ideas, I really appreciate everyone here who listens to community feedback. That really highlights the difference of being here vs Reddit.

See… I have seen this a number of times, but honestly, I don’t think space is the biggest issue in a plane, I always assumed it was weight. So if you pack in more people they’re going to be heavy + their luggage so it’s not going to save the airline that much money, but people would HATE this, so I don’t see it happening yet.

Ah, see I assume some sort of anime rules apply to the power and the larger the vessel the more it would sap my energy.

I guess I would still need to worry about being kidnapped by nestle and being hooked up to a feeding tube and gives to use my powers anyway…

Free refill man. Just point my finger and any beverage is refilled.

Honestly started using Mastodon right at the start of the Twitter announcements, although I had never used Twitter. I was getting worried about where most things online were trendeing and tended to use reddit for a big chunk of my online browsing. I wasn’t really expecting reddit to implode so quickly after Twitter, but as I was already using mastodon another federated platform seemed good to join

This reads like an onion headline

It amazing to me that I feel like the entire general public knew this was the case. Like… we’re not doctors or anything but it’s clear when something isn’t working. Great way to continue to sap confidence in the US medical system/regulations for it

Well, the cube rule of food says anything without a starch/bread is a salad, if you want an absurd authority to point to: https://cuberule.com/

As a not-that-tech savy person who is looking at getting back to using Linux (it’s been 5 or so years since I was running Ubuntu, I dual booted for awhile but WFH generally has made me Windows only) this sounds like a distro I would enjoy

Inflation hitting everywhere

Comcast is always terrible for me. (Recent got a fiber company into our neighborhood and couldn’t drop them fast enough) Waiting for like 45 minutes, getting somebody who can’t do anything, often having the call dropped. It’s not technically the fault of the employees, although they chose to work as such a terrible company, but they’re just given like 1% of an ability to do anything to help anyone.

I mean, it’s the low hanging fruit content. It gets done engagement, some amount of almost nostalgia, but doesn’t require much work to post. It’s not the end of the world, it just comes in larger volumes and takes up quite a bit of “all”. Honestly blocking some of those communities would probably work well to clean up your all feed if you wanted.

There a few things that we just haven’t crossed the threshold for yet that I found engaging (if not “addictive”) at Reddit, several of which were live threads about an event (NFL/NBA/Soccer/F1/etc). We’re not big enough here for that yet, where Mastodon is (you can get awesome interaction on hashtags about topics while they’re happening). The other thing was when a post got popular you could scroll through hundreds of comments with at least some thought behind them, and here it’s more like 10-25. The content is often better here, there is just less of it. Which is fine for me, it’s just a slightly different experience than I was having at Reddit, but I think some of those things will come with time.

Looks like a serving suggestion

Yeah. Genuinely like how they look, and they’re relatively convenient. I do have the option of contacts but just kinda prefer glasses

I interpret this as really “people want to go back to a time before income inequality had ramped up as much as it has” but in their minds the overall feeling that the US is worse now for the non-elites is associated with other things
