  • Getting prion disease from crops?

  • My first 20 transit cards!
  • Really cool collection, and not one I’ve seen before! Makes me appreciate my OCTA pass 😊

  • I'm a trans man. I didn't realize how broken men are
  • I wouldn't call you broken, just as I wouldn't call an asexual broken. I do think there are men out there who wish they could be more vulnerable though, and if the current culture stops or hinders that I think they deserve to say something too.

  • A decade after a disastrous launch, is Apple Maps finally good?
  • I’ve anecdotally had a fine time using Apple Maps since I switched a few years ago. Just wanted to mention there is a setting to avoid tolls; Settings->Maps->Driving will bring up a toggle. It’ll still give you the option, but it won’t default if it’s the shortest route.

  • Why do people dislike California?
  • Yeah, I joke that California does have four seasons - they're just Summer, Wildfire, and Mudslide. Possible Earthquake to shake things up.

    But to be fair, it is a long state. SoCal gets most of the attention, but NorCal gets some great seasons as you get closer to the PNW

  • Why do people dislike California?
  • You'd think, but it can be difficult to save up moving costs for a long distance haul + deposits + getting a new job lined up while living paycheck to paycheck.

  • Why do people dislike California?
  • Long time resident of California (SoCal in particular), can confirm haughtiness. I've grown increasingly prideful of my state for holding strong on specific human right issues.

    You're also right about the increasing disparity though. It feels like stratification is getting stronger and stronger each year. The Beach Cities area in particular, from my experience, where they're building a bunch of (very expensive) flats. California has had a history of states shipping homeless/refugees to us and that doesn't help our increasing number of state-grown displacements.

  • What are your thoughts on bots and people posting only news articles on lemmy?
  • My main issue is title formatting. I don't dislike the TIL bot, but I do dislike the long title being cut off in my app.

  • TIL when Blink 182 recorded Take Off Your Pants and Jacket, their manager said there was no 'good-time summer anthem', Tom and Mark responded 'You want a fucking single? I'll write you the cheesies...
  • Header got cut off for me; full quote for anyone else it happened to.

    DeVoe sat in the control room and quietly listened to the recordings, and pressed the band at the end on why there was no "Blink-182 good-time summer anthem [thing]". DeLonge and Hoppus were furious, remarking, "You want a fucking single? I'll write you the cheesiest, catchiest, throwaway fucking summertime single you've ever heard!"[1][5] Hoppus went home and wrote "The Rock Show" in ten minutes, and DeLonge similarly wrote "First Date", which became the most successful singles from the record and future live staples.[4]

  • Please recommend a TV series that isn't awful
  • Since you mentioned BSG, I wanted to recommend Babylon 5. It’s got a cohesive story planned from the get go, and is as good as space opera gets IMHO. There are plenty of historical parallels to draw, my favorite being the Roman Republic inspired Centauri. (Commercial TV from the 90s, so nothing R rated here.)

    More recent, and more historical, would be the German Netflix series Barbaren (Barbarians). It might be too roman history focused for your tastes, but it got a glowing review from my family abroad. (I do believe this has more gore and sexual content, I just don't remember to what extent.)

  • Non-binary Britain
  • All I know is I'm a right proper Kent

  • They say you can change the visual style of your spells...
  • Firstly these are both inspired and adorable, but I also love how open you are about players using the files!

  • Land use in the US
  • I think you might be on to something with the parks idea. I know California has a Protection Act on the books that covers ours.

  • Samsung confirms ‘slimmer and lighter’ Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Fold 5, teases tablets and watches
  • As someone who has to deal with small pockets these new flip phones have been interesting to me. I'm just worried about how long that screen will last.

  • How often have games made you do a double take in real life?
  • I was big into New World when it first launched and started recognizing prime exp nodes for woodcutting (those multi trunk aspen looking things) in my community.

  • *Permanently Deleted*
  • In response to the tile comment ‘apparently it’s a thing’. It is, and unfortunately has been. This is non consensual pornography and it’s awful.

  • How many accounts do you have, and how do you manage them?
  • 3 technically, 2 in use, and just because I didn’t really understand federation at sign up. Now I mainly use my beehaw and my shitjustworks account.

  • Little bit of family joy to share
  • My family has that same energy and I’m so happy to read this slice of life :) as someone who drinks a lot of IPAs…maybe not ;)
