I DID do that with my step-father but that's different, I think, because when my mom was dating I wasn't going to call him Dad. And after years of calling him by his name it felt weird to start calling him anything else.
So when I came here from Reddit I didn't know what to pick, so I picked .world figuring it would be bigger or something. Over time it seems like people are saying that .ml is just horrible. I actually thought that .ml stood for militant full of right wing tankies ( don't know the exact definition of that either). Lately someone essentially berated me for being on the worst one. Just now, I went to the little pull out on the side to see how to change it and what the options were and didn't even see how to do that.
Bottom line, I have no clue how any of this works. I just wanted to see some interesting content, news from a different perspective, some fun memes, and some cool comments. I don't even understand what fediverse means other than it's kind of like borg technology, meaning that the information is spread across a bunch of servers instead of a single point of failure.
Maybe one day I'll look into all of this, but seriously I have a life. As long as I open it and get what I want, I'm good. I almost never post because they are almost always removed for violating some rule. The last time I posted a question on a Linux forum and was getting some really good answers only to have it removed for violating a rule I didn't even understand. LOL.
I respectfully commented in there once and was politely asked not to. It wasn't really that militant, but I did get that vibe, so I believe you that that would happen.
Yeah, actually they might. I do use bookmarks too, but for more permanent things, like recipes and car sites (I'm a car guy). For projects I'm working on and will move along when I'm finished I didn't want them polluting my bookmarks. I guess I could delete the bookmarks too. Look I never said it made any sense. Ugh.
I'm a tab-o-holic. I probably have ADD. I don't know but I'll start researching something and if I don't finish that research before moving on to something else or if the need for the research is postponed, I don't want to lose what I was doing.
Also there are sites I go to everyday, email, calendar, YouTube, so I just leave them up all of the time.
Yeah, I don't believe you. I priced flying first class to Germany from Florida and it was $3000 one way. That's not an option for me. I doubt seriously that air travel was that expensive. I did travel with my parents as a kid and I don't think we spent an equivalent of $6000 per person for a round trip. That's not something they would have done.
The airlines continuously take things away and then act like it's such a great deal if they give one back as a perk. They can go fuck themselves and if you think it's so great you can do the same.
I think most of them are doing the tyranny.
