Yeah this scared me haha. I was sure it was tomorrow and was worried I missed it. All good, and ready to vote tomorrow

I think if you try and measure lemmy against other social media it will always seem incredibly low. There's no company behind lemmy trying to keep engagement up to increase profits. That's not a bad thing

That is a response. Im not sure what you are suggesting, because all your posts in this thread are anger and not really giving an actionable. Lemmy is a community, and communities can be for a lot of things, and just because it's not solving this problem doesn't mean it's failed or dead or useless.

Not everyone on lemmy is American

No one is successful enough to be a billionaire. Accumulating that amount of wealth is not a result of hard work, it's a result of exploitation. Begrudge all billionaires

From my understanding of the reading, if that were the case it would be happening in a different pattern ( or perhaps no pattern, but on all feathers ). It being such a vibrant color would mean that it's a high concentration, which would be showing elsewhere on other feathers

I work in a restaurant, they are super useful for protecting a band aid on a new cut ( the condom keeps it water sealed ). We have to wash our hands so many times in a day, and having a loose bandaid that could come off in food is a huge thing to avoid. Plus washing dishes you may have to reach deep into the water where a glove wouldn't keep your hand dry

It's a little sensational for the headline. 72% of fourth graders are reading below expected levels. And they are blaming decades old teaching tactics, which seems odd as you would expect a larger percentage of adults not to be able to read if this was truly the problem.

I believe the concept of a meme is actually much more universal than metaphors and funny, although a majority may fall into that. It's more of a 'unit of information'. Like when a meme is using a photograph of a scene from a tv show, that moment in the show may come with a series of emotions and thoughts that are shared between people.

A metaphor comes close to it, but for everything that we consider as a meme it's not broad enough IMO.
