Those both sound believable enough to me!

That makes sense, but it doesn’t explain why the high end meat isn’t packaged the same way.

Why is tube meat always the cheapest? Surely you could put any quality of meat you want in there, but it’s always the cheapest.

I really wonder how long they’ll be able to enforce high credit scores once everyone doesn’t have good credit anymore

I’m a bit older than this and I’ve been feeling this too. Getting older is weird.

I think you’re right. The text isn’t consistent enough to be a font, but it’s not a real woodcut since the wood grain is just following the contours of the shapes (instead of you know… Following the grain of the wood).

It could be artistic filter on another image, but the lack of a font makes that unlikely I’d say.

I’m from this area originally, and photos of new Zealand always look kind of like home 🙂

+1 for Peter’s videos. I went down such a YouTube hole with that guy for a while. I’m from the PNW, so about as far from the south as you can get, and it’s really fascinating to listen to such candid conversations with people.

I was about to say that’s a bagel, but I’m realizing the “hole” might be butter

Glad to see someone mentioning this. I see a disturbing number of people on here saying nothing is happening and it’s not true at all. Many, many people are angry, doing things, and more are getting involved with each new horrible thing that happens. It takes time for movements to reach critical mass. Especially in a country this big as you point out.

It’s also critical to understand that he isn’t supposed to have the ability to do all these things. He’s ignoring law and due process completely at this point, but his party controls all three pillars of government and no one is stopping him at the governmental level.

To be honest, though, the main thing the past decade has revealed is that our government’s supposedly robust set of checks and balances collapse completely as soon as people just stop being honorable and following the rules voluntarily. It’s a paper thin system it turns out.

I’ve always taken it to imply that at a certain number of differences, the comparison isn’t useful anymore, not that there are no avenues of comparison at all.

I’m of the same opinion that AI won’t be able to adequately replace many jobs, but only in the long term. In the short term I think it’s going to be a bit of a bloodbath with a lot of companies drinking the kool aid until they realize it’s not working.

A lot of apps start on iOS because they have the majority of the mobile market in the US.

Is there a way to migrate a Lemmy account to it?

That does sound quite nice actually

I second this. I discovered it right before it got insanely expensive and only made it like a couple times.

Ah got it!

Felt. Keep your head up 👊

Oh, that kind of RP stream? 😅 I was thinking of something else lol

Thanks! I think you’re right that there could definitely be more granularity to what I said. I was trying to go as broad as I could, which of course leaves out a lot of detail. Good thoughts about other possible categories. I don’t disagree with any of it.

I actually haven’t ever seen the roleplayer category you’re talking about, but I’m intrigued. Is there anyone you’d recommend?

If I had to give a name to the joke streamers you mentioned, I’d probably go with challenge streamers. I think that definitely falls outside of the categories I said, but I also see a lot of streamers that do fall into the three I made up dabbling with that kind of content here and there, so there’s probably some crossover too.
