It’s contextualizing, things suck, that’s real and gets acknowledged, not dismissed, they can suck more and probably do for other people, this is also real. It doesn’t make the suck you are experiencing magically better but it does put into a wider context and helps to show that you, likely, aren’t at rock bottom without any hope. Your actions and headspace matter. They won’t magically make everything great, but they can easily be the difference between bad and legitimately “ok” or better.

They “just” merged the Team/channel and Chat systems together ala Slack.

What basic features?

Is that regional? Ours is working fine out in the midwest.

I’m trying to be better about checking out content in the Ground News app to see some right wing content. Not great about right now though. I don’t want to go to any communities because, especially when it’s detached from the news sources, they always come off as next level crazy. Sometimes the news does too, but at least the grammar is decent.

This is a big one. Its probably doomed to imperfection and hold out Mods who don’t want to do it but I think some kind of Community Sync option would be huge.

They have great “up time”.

Scripting, both frameworks and finished code with testing and iteration.

More often than not it gives me decent answers for the kind of info I’m searching for. Saves me a lot of time digging through ad layden pages and search results.

I’m guessing their excuse would be some BS statement about voter fraud and “dead people voting”. Obviously they don’t want to be identified.

Dang, my nightstand printer is such a great white noise generator too. ;p

Based on some of the legal and technical aspects of what people have said here, I wonder if it might still capture some of the essence of what you’re trying for, to do a proper cremation and then have the ashes poured into a boat, possibly in a fancy or ceremonial way, that is then burned. Or the ashes could be in a burnable urn and placed into the boat.

I think there’s a lot that you could do with staging and design that would allow the event to have very similar gravitas despite the lack of a full body.

I read them as saying it was “rude outside of a ‘known’/friend group joke context” which is the default state of public social media, funny in the context of a group that all knows from experience and their connections (or at least has strong confidence) that a well meaning or harmless joke is intended.

As with many things, it really is likely a mixture of both. Very possible that 9.99 was unrealistically low, but the current streaming market and “inflation” smoke screening is also enabling some real squeezing of consumers.

That IS a letter opener. I have one extremely similar but it’s a sword from an anime.

Don’t forget your training wrench! 🔧

Painfully believable.

Meetup.com, search some interests, find some groups, go to some events, talk to people and slowly build those connections with those that you click with. Or all that via more general web searching, meetup is just a convenient hub.

Maybe I’m just a doomsayer, but the same backlash that has been oh so successful at keeping climate change/environmental policy in a good place? -_-

The counterpoint are people like this, the feature they want is built on extreme data gathering. https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/a8fec90b-c349-46c9-8592-5dbe17ea4c8c.jpeg
