"I crashed my car while I was learning, too, it all turned out alright" to a kid who had just had a collision outside my house with a parked car (not mine). He seemed to be taking it pretty hard. I was in a collision while I was learning to drive, but the lie was that I was at fault, when in fact I had been rear-ended by a distracted driver. Also, my car was written off, so "turned out alright" is subjective.
I'm an open car-hater, and frequent attendee of the fuckcars communities here on Lemmy, but I'm not so proud as to not put that on-hold for a teen going through Baby's First Car Accident.
I keep both a Mastodon and a Lemmy account, but I absolutely love seeing posts from either platform on the other platform, because it reminds me of how cool the Fediverse is. I also sort of like that the posts end up formatted slightly differently because it means that you can tell that it's interoperability in action, even if it feels strange at first go.
Symphonium, a music app for android (maybe also iOS, dunno). I've tried so many other apps for both local and remote music, none of them come even close - I particularly like the pre-caching and rolling cache features, as there are some places I go regularly where connection is spotty, and they allow me to stream pretty much uninterrupted from my subsonic server.
I swear this is propaganda. I have 3 farmers' markets within biking distance of me (that I've visited regularly, there are another 2 on inconvenient days for me), in a capital city. All are cheaper than the grocery store. Yet when I tell people I do my weekly shop at the farmer's markets, they always say something to this effect. The popular opinion simply does not match the reality. There are some stalls which are more expensive, but they are usually targeting a much higher quality, and are normally prepared products (pasta, sauces, etc.) rather than raw produce.
Well, look at this way. If I were being paid as little as they probably were to do what they were being asked to do whilst also not getting recognized for my contributions as a human and also being treated like machine by people who don't even speak the same first language as me, I would probably put out pretty sloppy work too.
This is basically Catholicism, right?
