But this is exactly what I’m talking about. You’re assuming everyone lives in the cities and suburbs while forgetting that there are people who live in rural areas and are more than 10 miles from the nearest shop.

A lot of these replies are tone deaf. Not everyone lives in a place where walking, biking, or even ride share is viable.

Not everywhere has decent, if any public transport, especially if they’re in a more rural area. And not every repair takes less than a day to fix.

The only times I’ve ever had a drama free workplace was:

1. At the beginning of my career when I was an intern. They didn’t care enough about me to include me in the gossip, and I was only going to be there for a few months anyway.
2. When my last job started letting us work from home, so I was no longer stuck at a desk in a high traffic area where multiple people would stop and chat. Headphones with a mic were a godsend, because when someone would start to approach, I’d just smile and point at the mic. Kept a lot of the gossipers at bay, though not all. WFH eliminated all that, I was so happy I could finally just focus on my work and not get caught up in situations that didn’t even pertain to me.

Yeah, I haven’t been a fan of it so far. Some of the visuals and shots are nice, but there hasn’t been one character so far that I’ve liked, and it tends to drone on in a boring way.

Watching anime with a friend. He’s been trying to get me into Evangelion.

The main practical use I’ve found for me is writing a personalized cover letters when applying for jobs. Just plug in the job description, edit as needed, and off it goes. The way I see it, if HR can use it for their purposes, so can I.

I am both surprised and not that I got Denver, CO. I’ve been told before by someone that they initially thought I was from there the first time we met.

Subnautica. I always have so much fun exploring and crafting things, but then for one reason or another I end up putting it aside. By the time I get back to it, I’ve forgotten how to play so I end up starting a new game, only for the cycle to repeat. One of these days I’ll finish it!

I think lemmy.world is letting kbin interact with them again. It was on ‘read only’ about a week ago, where kbin could see stuff being posted from lemmy, but anything being posted or down/upvoted from kbin wasn’t going anywhere. But I noticed today that some kbin users were able to successfully post to lemmy again. Though, I don’t know if that means the problem is fixed or not.

kbin (at least kbin.social) has a nice little community, but we’re holding on by a thread over there since we’ve been overrun with spammers and nothing is really being done to combat it. A good chunk of people have jumped ship because of it, but we’re still trying to fight where we can.

I made an mbin alt, but I haven’t really hung out enough here to get a proper feel of it. Honestly it feels like looking through a window to the rest of the fediverse. If there’s any chill mbin (edit) instances magazines, I’d love to know!

Beehaw seems to have the most positive vibes, and I really like that. It seems small, but they’re pretty active. I mainly enjoy their gaming community.

I think I interact the most with Lemmy, but that’s probably because that’s where most active instances are. You’ll get a lot more different takes on there than anywhere else, some great, some not so great, but that comes with any site where you bring a bunch of people together.

Of course, these are from my experience and opinion. I’m interested to see others’ takes.

This is what I’m worried about. I love Alan Wake 1 & 2 and Control, and I’m looking forward to the latter’s sequel, but I just keep thinking, how far can this go before it’s either way out in left field or rehashing the same plot points?

I’ve been using Google’s Gemini to write cover letters for job applications. Just plug in the job description, do a little proofreading and tweaking, and boom. It’s made the process so much easier for “personalized” cover letters.

That’s how I got around to playing it recently too. I spent way more time than I should have wandering around just looking at stuff.

That’s ok. Different people have different tastes! Tbh the band is kind of generic in general, but that hasn’t stopped them from worming their way into my ears lol.

Mine’s just a band in general; Motionless in White has been growing on me after I’ve been putting them off for so long. Their cover of “Somebody Told Me” is fun.

Nothing. Until he returns the 200 dollars he stole, I am holding onto that grudge.

I love me a grilled cheese and turkey sandwich. Simple, but comforting. Although, turkey based sandwiches in general are a food weakness for me.

Man, Postal 2 is such a great time. I always start out with the best intentions of being “good”, but by the Wednesday level I’m robbing the bank and breaking into every house that I can.

Remedy Entertainment. From Max Payne 1 & 2, to Alan Wake 1 & 2, to Quantum Break, to Control, there has not been a game from them that I’ve played that hasn’t been absolutely fantastic. They have not failed to miss so far.
