thank you, that’s very helpful to know. I sent him a message

thanks, I did check that out when the developer posted it and it’s definitely my backup if I can’t figure out how to sync my feed.

very cool that they built and shared that.

I’ve been able to automate most social media posts, so I’m assuming there is a way to do it with lemmy and I’m just not technically minded enough to know how yet.

that’s exactly how it works. import companies are currently cancelling all the orders from China and other countries currently en route and Americans are going to pay a lot more for whatever imported stock is left within the country and then there won’t be anything from other countries in the US after a week or two: produce, meat, electronics, TP and so on.

A classroom assistant at the school i worked at. very hard-working, curious and funny guy who likes to learn things all the time, so we exchanged Chinese and English and hung out all the time for barbecue and hotpot and all that good stuff.

still friends more than a decade later even though I travel a lot; we got to meet up a few times when I visited Beijing last year and we still talk occasionally on wechat.

“Notes on A Renegade President’s War Against Civil Soviety”

I was literally in the middle of thinking about community groups when I came across your post, I think a lot of people would use this feature.

i find this very satisfying: gently disagreeing with them via a short single positive message like “gay people do deserve respect”, then letting them throw a very lengthy, time-invested tantrum before gently and completely disagreeing with their comment with another short sentence, over and over until they get tired.

i find that both very funny and I’m putting out positive messages that negate their bigotry without too much time or effort.

that’s just if you have the time and inclination to engage, you aren’t morally obligated to subject yourself to abusive behavior.

if it’s real bad, they’re probably violating a rule, and reporting them will get them banned

hated that work culture so i left as soon as the opportunity presented itself.

went to teach ESL. half the hours for better pay

i travel constantly, and every time I’m flying in a plane i am re-amazed.

i think about how easy and quick it is to fly anywhere in the world and I’m sitting in a bit metal tube floating in the air.

it’s bananas.

Kino’s Journey(2003) - great fix for philosophy and drifty, travel vibes.

I make my own DIY huaraches like this:

extremely comfortable, you can make it with any old slipper lying around and some paracord, lasts for 6 months to a year, depending on the quality of the sandal base.

adjust it to exactly your size that fits perfectly and then you can sew the knots so that all the dimensions stay the same.

takes me maybe 5 minutes to make each pair, and then 5 minutes for the sewing of the knots so I never have to readjust them, costs nearly nothing.

sorry about the aliens.

ooh, sharp.

good one.

haha, I really liked that part of the description!

I think technically that’s the same thing.

that’s got to happen sooner or later. plague instances spreading like the plague.

that’s the phrase, certainly. you’ve nailed it.

I think this is the genesis.

who doesn’t like a good plague these days?

yes, because it is fun, and we don’t have to make it different just to be different.
