Though one could argue that there are crops. Religions, churches make a lot of money after all,
oftenwith no taxes.
Yeeeeeeeeees. Please post all theories/stories to !halloween or one of the creepy commmunities. I’ll be waiting for them, mwuhaha.
I’ll explain the logic as I understand it, but that’s it. I was posting for the rule and this was in my memes folder. I’ve had many religion debates and find that no one is ever satisfied on either side and everyone ends up with hard feelings. I’m not here to piss people off. That’s not my nature.
The logic used by the author of the meme is that god doesn’t exist and that it is a made up concept to get people to behave.
Humans want crows to behave a certain way so they made scarecrows.
Humans want other people to behave a certain way so they made god. The meme suggests that the god concept is a behavior modifier. There are no crops.
Agreed. There is a snobbery to Apple.
They (my inlaws) are all on apple and they get these $2k+ Macs and they do less on them than I do on my non-apple laptop that I got refurbished for a few hundred, but I get a definite sense from them that non-apple products are beneath them.
One of the older family members sends emails and occasionally looks something up online. She often has to hunt down her Mac because she hasn’t used it in a couple of weeks. When she needed to replace it, I suggested something like mine and she got quiet and changed the subject. The next week she was telling me about her new Mac. It cost a fortune, but she didn’t tell me that, to her credit.
They all have iPhones too as if anything less would mean they were in a slightly lower class. I love them or I’d tell them to pound sand.
The person who downvoted you hasn’t experienced this snobbery. It exists though.
I had an older relative who thought that because my bubble was in green that she was being charged to see it.
You too, random citizen!
My philosophy on downvotes:
If I don’t agree with someone here, I upvote anyway. Not because I’m a Pollyanna, but because I’m happy they’re here and supporting Lemmy by posting and commenting. I really want Lemmy to stay up and stable for a long time and provide what Reddit used to provide for the wider community. Reddit still does, but hopefully we can too. I’m talking about political and health issues.
If it’s a mean comment, I do nothing and move on.
If something is just messed up, that’s a message for the mods. I’ve messaged once so far. Someone posted information about a person (image and real-life contact info) and said they were performing cosmetic surgery on puppies. The image was of the person flipping the bird, so it was clearly made as a hit piece. Mods got rid of it within a day.
I’m doing my part. I had two posts on Reddit. One was superniche and got 30ish points. Whatever, I was happy. It had useful info for the other people on the sub. Then I posted something to the broader community and got two downvotes in like 1 second, killing it. How did they even look at it? I think someone was sitting there gleefully downvoting every fucking thing. I never posted again.
I’ve been here since mid June and have made 264 posts, like WTF. I’m having more fun here than I ever did on Reddit and I don’t get that sick feeling I used to get from seeing all the outrage posts and mean comments (to everyone, not just me).
Loving Lemmy.
Thanks and try asking a mod.
I’m not sure what you mean. How to make a community? I also don’t know how to create a community.
These are links to similar exisiting communities for asking what things are. Let me know if that answers your question.
And replying with replies is very easy too.
Yup. They just missed it. Oh well.
Yes. I use PC and I have tried Jerboa for mobile, but I’m liking Summit right now. Which app do you use and do you like it?
exactly
Someone used the term fledditors. That was me. I signed up on the Wednesday to beehaw after the boycott. I started lemmy.world the Sunday after. IDK. I like lemmy.world better, but beehaw is good too.
Same on making posts hide after viewing. At first I didn’t know how to make it happen, but I found it in settings.
I wonder if OP can see replies to replies? I don’t know how this works. What I’m saying is, I’m not OP.
I also recently found an invasive species of spider in my yard here in north San Diego, the false widow. Bummer.
I’m not a biologist, but I found this on a google image search.
Pectinatella magnifica, the magnificent bryozoan, is a member of the Bryozoa phylum, in the order Plumatellida. It is a colony of organisms that bind together; these colonies can sometimes be 60 centimeters (2 feet) in diameter. These organisms can be found mostly in North America with some in Europe.
Didja poke it with a stick?
My kid is learning to drive and I wanted to rent/get ahold of a manual to teach that too, but nothing doing. You can’t find one to rent and I’m not buying a whole car for a few weeks’ training.
