Coach as in, "Coach, I have a cramp in my leg right here. No, not there. A little higher." That kind of coach?

I use the All feed to discover communities I'd like to subscribe to. I know there are other resources for that, but they all require you to know what content you're looking for. Sometimes i just like free-range exploring.

MHO... I would not miss Hexbear at all if they were defederated. Most of the content I see from them is pretty obnoxious, and even the "nice, polite" posts have a strong sealion scent to them. I block most of their communities when I encounter them in my All feed, and will probably block the instance once Lemmy has that capability.

That being said, I support the decisions that @sunaurus is making in regard to Hexbear. His decisions about site administration and moderation have always been sensible and competent.

But what about the source of funds for Hunter Biden’s laptop? Is anyone investigating that?

What scientist would not want to promote their latest research while wearing a CGI-generated cat head and doing interpretative dance to a base heavy riff by a band autotuned to sound like robotic pre-pubescent Japanese girls?

Not necessarily worse, but more ambiguous than if I say something is good.

I get the result you got, but the Emergent Mind response is the second organic result. That's still way too high.

I agree with the posters who are telling you to stick with Windows if your career depends on software that isn't Linux compatible. If you want to play with Linux you can install WSL on Windows, run Linux in a VM on Windows or buy a cheap used/refurb business laptop and Linux to your heart's content on that.

I think this is where Biden's decades of congressional experience shows. He does the same bipartisan dog-and-pony show that Obama did, but Biden has been more effective at actually getting legislation passed.

My argument to progressives who were reluctant to vote for Biden was that he would sign progressive legislation if congress could pass it. I think that's been borne out.

The article addresses that. Because the media doesn't report on Biden supporters, the public gets the impression that no one likes him much. I also think approval ratings are not contextualized well, because you rarely see how many people who disapprove of Biden's presidency are right-wing and how many are leftists.

From a personal perspective, while I was not a reluctant Biden voter (would have never voted for Trump), he was far from the top of my list in the 2020 primary. I think, considering the obstacles he's faced, Joe has been a much better president that I expected. That's in spite of Republicans ratfucking student loan relief and robust electoral reform.

Very cool. Didn't know they were building one.
