He melty

Ooh I love the stellar siblings one! They’re all great though

Jenna Marbles! She was a youtuber back in the day

Dude, plain pasta tastes great. No contest.

I can’t help you with the quality of the prints, but I’ve found that sticking the bed and print into the freezer for 2-3 mins will help it pop off easily.

unless they’re from an instance that supports hateful content.

I suppose the crux of the matter is what each person thinks hateful content is.

Back on reddit, the main way I found new subs was by people mentioning them in the comments of related threads in my existing subs. Once we start getting a bigger level of activity in the “main” communities, I feel like sharing smaller ones will happen organically.
Until then, keep spreading the word :)

If you’re that emotionally invested that early on, you may need to do some self-reflection. The early stage of dating someone is not supposed to be a serious-committed-relationship type of vibe. You really are just hanging out and getting to know whether you would like to spend more time with the other person. If you’re so invested at that stage that ghosting is considered taxing to you, sit with your own priorities for a while and determine whether you’re going into dating with a healthy mindset.

And you don’t have to be ruthless to know that your time would be better spent elsewhere. Take the sunk-cost on the chin and move on.

Yeah tbh you see that kind of thing with non-romantic conversations all the time as well. How many times has someone said “we should hang out more” and you say “yeah, totally!” even though you know you never will, lol.

Definitely a good idea to follow up after the date just to keep the lines of communication open. I don’t buy into the whole “wait x amount of time” thing.

I think it’s pretty standard protocol for most women to say the date went well and they would like to meet up again when still face-to-face with the guy they’re on the date with.
Minimise the risk of becoming a statistic, and all that.

For messaging with dates, I generally say 2 texts then let them respond (and that’s not messages like “hey” “u up?” “Are you there??” But like actual content that they can engage with).

If they don’t get back to you, don’t take it personally. Just forget and move on.

If shirts were single-use items, I would agree. But I would say you pay every time you wash and iron it, and put it back to wear again.

I feel like the best reddit posts are going to make their way over here anyway, the same way the best tweets, tiktoks, or tumblr posts made their way to reddit.

I don’t think there needs to be a bot reposting everything that gets posted over there, considering all the mod removals and malicious compliance protests mean that overall content quality will likely decline going forward. I can see it getting very spammy very quickly.

A lot of people on kbin are here because we don’t support reddit anymore, and we are especially displeased with spez holding decades-worth of accumulated knowledge and content for ransom.
Even if they’re questions which could be easily found on reddit or with a Google search, I think it’s a good idea to ask them here (and on other instances) anyway. It will give those who are boycotting reddit a new space to search for answers, it will foster more content creation on kbin, and it will decentralise the combined niche knowledge and expertise of all netizens, so that it is less likely to be lost or held hostage again.

I think it’s also a good starting point for anyone who is usually a lurker, but would like to create quality content here to promote community growth. Ask a question you could easily search (or maybe one you already know the answer to?)
We can come together as a community to ask and answer those questions, rather than each user trying to single-handedly create valuable content from scratch, which is much more daunting.

I understand that it’s frustrating, but I’d like to suggest that we be the bigger people about it.

For every user in the vocal minority saying those things, there are plenty of users who will see kbin and lemmy mentioned more and more, and get curious.

If we start getting a “leavers vs stayers” mentality over here, we might drive away those people who could grow our communities.

Be relentlessly positive about our new home, and we will thrive in the end.

I think we’re all mourning the loss of community and information found on reddit. Being angry that spez has forced protesters into the position to dismantle these communities is a legitimate and understandable reaction.

I don’t see in the above comment that this person is spez-friendly or getting angry at the protesters specifically, just acknowledging that the whole thing sucks for everyone.

Funny how r/blind saw this coming from a mile away

There were a lot of attention-seeking people on reddit who weren’t necessarily trying to get karma. It just happened that karma was the measure of the attention you were getting, so being a “karmawhore” was a side effect of wanting attention.
