Sometimes I'm tempted to just stand in the middle of a roundabout with a sign that says "use your blinkers you fuckin morons" but then I remember I like being in one piece. Even worse are the people that signal going into a roundabout but not while they're exiting. Yes, you have literally no other option but to enter the roundabout, better signal to let people know I'm gonna enter it. There's 4 exits and people waiting to enter lol fuck you have fun guessing where I'm gonna exit.

Even with federated bans, people like that will just find ways around it to continue making alts cause they have nothing better to do with their sad lives. Just like the obvious hexbear alts on different instances these days, losers gonna loser unfortunately.
Much harder to stop them without making it too difficult for real users than it is for them to just keep making alts to spread whatever flavour of bullshit they want.
Tell me about it. It's practically impossible to avoid american news and it's fucking infuriating. I'm so sick of hearing about trump and biden or democrats and republicans etc yet it's pretty much impossible to avoid unless you dont use social media at all. I get that a huge chunk of the English speaking internet is made up of Americans but holy fuck shut the fuck up, as a Canadian I'm fucking sick of their brain dead sports team politics, especially cause that bullshit is infecting Canada now. We even have Canadian trumpers ffs.
Fuck you and your dumbass politics america, hurry up and implode already so I can at least be entertained instead of annoyed.
To anyone thats gonna reply and tell me how I should care because it's gonna affect me blah blah blah I dont fucking care. Not even gonna read any replies this comment gets I just wanted to vent. So dont waste your time replying.
I've been using sync since 2017ish or so and the long absences didn't bother me nearly as much because reddit wasn't constantly changing like Lemmy is. I happily paid for sync for reddit, but I won't pay for sync for Lemmy until he commits to at least fixing annoying small issues whenever a new Lemmy version drops. I've defended the author in the past but I'm honestly getting quite frustrated with the lack of updates and radio silence for months at a time while Lemmy is dropping updates quite often. I don't care about new features, just maintain parity with the latest Lemmy version, I'm sick of my posts showing as unread when I know I've read them.
Just small updates to keep up with new Lemmy versions, no need to make huge updates all the time, the app is already awesome, it just needs to maintain parity with Lemmy. Or at least acknowledge that he's aware of the problems and will be fixing them, I don't need a timeline but just a "hey I hear you, I'm working on the next update" would be much better than constantly disappearing.
All that said, I still have an immense amount of respect for LJ and I hope he's doing well. This is just an app for nerds, real life takes priority obviously and I understand that. But I'm frustrated at how long it's taking to fix basic bugs like posts not showing as read.
I would outlaw starting work before 12pm. I'm 30 and I still absolutely hate mornings just as much as I did when I was 10. I'm naturally a night person but working graveyards has more problems than dealing with early mornings IMO. Let all the morning people feel the pain of having to be productive during your least productive hours for a change.
When I was a kid growing up in small town Canada, "swamp water" was all the fountain drinks mixed into one cup. Thought it was delicious when I was 10!
Oh I agree, I play Overwatch casually and couldn't care less about my rank, in fact I exclusively play quick play even after 150 hours. But Starcraft is inherently competitive to me due to its 1v1 focus and even without caring about my rank I still find it too stressful and hard to play without a ton of time invested. When I do play it, I prefer to play the campaigns or coop. 1v1 is too time consuming even without caring about rank and only playing unranked.
Starcraft. I still love playing through the campaigns and coop, but I don't have the time or energy to keep up with the 1v1 anymore. Used to play it a ton back before Legacy of the Void, but you basically have to treat that game like a second job in order to be competitive and not get destroyed most of the time. I remember going like 3-4 days without playing back then and it'd take me 3-5 hours to get back up to my usual level of play.
It's still a lot of fun to watch pros or high level players play the game though, at least IMO.
Yes, I'm aware of that.
