Is this a conservative meme? I thought it was poking fun at Trump's "there eating your pets" statements from the debate

Don't some birds vomit to feed their young? So this bird is just preparing the meal so it's nice and ready when it gets home!

Where do you even meet people anymore? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world
[–] thatsTheCatch@lemmy.nz 3 points 6 days ago

Meetups and clubs based around certain interests have worked well for me.

Examples: writing clubs, chess clubs, book clubs, hiking clubs, debate clubs, etc.

I have trouble at parties where I have to find things to talk about with people I don't know, but at interest clubs then we're all there for the same purpose and there's a clear thing to talk about! If you hit it off with anyone, then you can begin hanging out outside of the club

Ken M is a popular comment troll. It is safe to assume he is joking at all times and that misspelling was intentional

Thank you! I've tried setting up CoD: Black Ops, both DODI and FitGirl repacks and have had issues. I will try following these steps, thanks

That is actually pretty funny. I'm surprised your subconscious brain was actually able to come up with a verse that 1) rhymed 2) made sense 3) is relevant.

Maybe you could try freestyling.

They do actually appear the same size in the sky though, which is why we get perfect eclipses. The Moon is slowly getting further away from Earth so it won't be forever. We're just in a lucky moment of time in the universe.

It really is just a coincidence.

I grew up with teachers saying the brain is incredibly plastic so it makes sense

Pop_OS! help: system frequently freezes when updating (lemmy.nz)

Whenever I update a package or the system via the Pop! Shop, or downloading a game or updates from Steam, my desktop constantly freezes and hangs. It works perfectly fine otherwise.

I was wondering whether this was common behaviour. It's a bit frustrating because it means I have to pick my moments to update to be when I can go do something else for a while and come back.

If I'm on a Discord call and am doing an update or downloading a game on steam, the freezes mean that my friends can't hear me and I can't hear them.

I've tried Googling it but haven't found anyone with this specific issue yet.

I run a medium-power gaming desktop rig.

Any advice on how to fix or improve this?

Update:

Here are my hardware specs. Sorry for not including them earlier; I was at work when I posted this.

  • Motherboard: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. X570S GAMING X

  • CPU: AMD® Ryzen 9 5900x 12-core processor × 24
  • GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti

What is your least favourite acronym? (lemmy.nz)
 

Mine is OOO for Out Of Office. I always misread it in my head like a ghost and it takes me a few seconds to process. It also doesn't translate to speech—you have to say the whole thing.

Interested to see if others have similar acronyms they beef with.

Urban skating help needed - best ways to stop? (lemmy.nz)
 

Hi, I recently moved apartment and started skateboarding to work. I have a nickel board, so more for cruising than tricks.

My question is: what's the best way to slow down and stop on sidewalks?

I've watched several YouTube videos about different techniques for slowing down and stopping, but they tended to assume an environment with more room and smooth ground. Where I ride, it's a sidewalk with cracks and leaves and changing terrain. It is also somewhat hilly so I really need a way to slow down on sustained (not steep though) downhills.

One of the best techniques I found was called pumping, basically the opposite of pushing. This works well on any terrain and on skinny sidewalks. However, it's really hard on my ankles, and I actually made my right ankle swollen. So I figured I need a better way.

I don't particularly want to use techniques that scrape my shoes. And I'm not sure powerslides are the best idea on the uneven terrain.

Surely there's something better than just dismounting? Do I have to ride on the road to do powerslides?

I would greatly appreciate any and all advice!! I'm quite new to this so anything is helpful
