  • I suspect OP hasn’t put enough thought into it to see why we’re confused. I can see somone who really sat down and thought about the intrusion of centralization in Lemmy as a future scenario but I don’t see how and I don’t think OP does either.

    Edit: ok- lemmy could be centralized if bad actors flood garbage content everywhere. Their own instances too numerous to count drown out small and less known ones and their content floods any instance too small to fight back. That would force users into a whitelisted experience that would centralize.






  • I write to you all from the parents table.

    It began lame as hell. I was a single man with a married brother who had a young child. I was clearly there to keep them company.

    Later, there I was with my own child. At a table of people I didn’t know with children. Next to the goddamn speaker.

    Then, I’m happy to report, I was at one of my favorite cousins weddings. I was there with her oldest brother and his child my kids age. And a bunch of other people with kids that age. And it was awesome. Finally.

    I submit the best table at a wedding is one that you really fit in with. Whatever commonality that may be.


  • I told her we were going to get married, and all she could talk about was frogs.
    She said there’s these hills where it’s hot and rains all the time, and in the rainforests there are these very tall trees and right in the top branches of the trees there are these like great big flowers called . . . bromeliads, I think, and water gets into the flowers and makes little pools and there’s a type of frog that lays eggs in the pools and tadpoles hatch and grow into new frogs and these little frogs live their whole lives in the flowers right at the top of the trees and don’t even know about the ground, and once you know the world is full of things like that, your life is never the same.









  • There’s a ramen sauce that makes ramen soup I like. Add that to just the dry noodles they sell- not the packs of ramen- and it’s very economical and better quality.

    Anything works in ramen. If you have a freezer I’d suggest ham is a very very cheap protein to add if you can buy in a large size.

    Otherwise, sprouts are good and inexpensive. So are mushrooms. Turkey is cheap but in bulk like ham. If you’re aiming for less bulk chicken thighs are inexpensive and good in soups.

    If you want something like frozen broccoli try peas. Peas are great.

    If you brine your eggs in mirin and soy sauce they will work even better in the dish.
