Definitely foxes and some others already mentioned. Maybe ringtails. In my region we call them ‘cacomixtle’ which sounds cacophonic (and cute). They’re like raccoon-cats.

Early 30s. API debacle.

My roller skates came with a defect, after all, and I lost the momentum. Now I’m drawing. Well, no, actually, I haven’t done that in a while… I think now I’m entering poetry territory. Is there a “hobbies, in general, just tell us about yours” community? We are enough for something like that.

This only applies to people left from centrism (progressivism, anarchism, socialism…). “Wokes”, “liberals”, “tankies”, I’ll put them all as leftists in this text.

What is your least favorite thing about the Fediverse or Lemmy?

Lemmy. That interest in politics and critical thinking in general end when we arrive to topics do not concerning the life of the average lemming.

News about technology? Oh, yes, capitalism is wrong and Google is ruining this and let’s do that… Feminism? Meh. Antiracism. Anticolonialism. Humanities defense? Whatever.

Of course, why would women or POC or the third world or non-STEM things would interest a bunch of first world STEM white men? Empathy or congruence with leftism? What’s that? (sarcasm)

And it’s tiring that you see how much time they spend talking about U.S. politics or online privacy, but not a thought can be put when you point out a non-privileged problem. I’ve even seen people get downvoted for saying something they posted or said was problematic.

In my region, leftists often separate completely from these spaces because of this. I don’t want to, I like it here and, overall, my experience is positive and enriching. But yeah, this is one of the worst aspects of Lemmy in my opinion.

Also, neurodiversity, mental illness, and basic mental health care. People are discovering they are autistic, ADHDers, etc. They’re learning how to prevent depression or how to apply DBT tools (e.g., for emotional regulation, for judging less). It’s amazing.

Six Feet Under, True Detective (Season 1).

While I agree, there’s also a risk in letting the hypothetical family cause alarm about something false around electricity or whatever (misinformation).

Its successor is the Kobo Clara BW and I’ve heard wonders about it too. I think I might get one.

Sorry, I just saw your reply. I was addressing the thing you said about forums, where people identify frequent posters; their profile picture is big, there is often a signature, a big nickname, etc. I like that we (here on Lemmy and similar sites) do not often read the little nickname above. I’m sure no one or almost no one can say which other comments I have made without going to my profile. There’s nothing behind my words but my words: no reputation, no prejudice from an accounts’ aesthetic, etc. I mean, my grammar betrays me, and someone might remember me from a previous encounter. But yeah, like I said, I’m like a blob for most people, and that’s comfortable.

I was going to end the comment there, but there are so many reasons why I prefer to be a blob, a little text box. First, traumatic experience. Second, when there’s a reputation, it starts to weight on how people receive your messages and I hate that people misconstrue me (and I guess I’m easy to caricaturize). Third, no social drama, no social nothing. Peace… ᵃⁿᵈ ᵗʰᵒˢᵉ ᵃʳᵉ ᵗʰᵉ ᵐᵃⁱⁿ ʳᵉᵃˢᵒⁿˢ.

I like the anonymity, though.

Healthcare for Argentina? Milei is destroying public welfare. That’s for other oligarchs. $40B in exchange of… Well, Milei is acting unhinged and won’t explain, but probably lands, water, lithium. Trump bought something, we just don’t know what yet.

No, I like reading and writing here, but I spend a lot of time watching short videos. It’s a constant bombardment of interesting facts (mixed with some news, memes, trends…); it’s stimulating.

Intellectual snob.

Pseudo intellectual. Pseudo polymath. Pseudo erudite…
