Perfection
Has been in earnest since about 2014 by my watch
You’re right. Narcissists are generally very concerned with what other people think - specifically about them.
If you really want to help this person I’d suggest being a friend to him. Don’t talk about the stuff you disagree on. Every time he mentions it, be very clear that you emphatically disagree and that the positions that he holds cause you harm. Do not get drawn into a debate, just states how it negatively affects you and end the conversation. If he can accept that boundary then you can build a friendship, and that friendship will eventually provide you with the sufficient mutual respect to potentially begin to change minds with open and vulnerable conversation. It has to be a real friendship though, you can’t be faking it.
That’s all a lot of energy and effort, but it’s the kind of sustained relational support that can effectively promulgate change.
Sure, it’s the nature of it. Good cheap way to get a quick meal in London if you don’t care what you get
I’ve used it a little. The bags can be very unpredictable. Whether it’s a good deal or not often feels a bit like a roll of the dice which seems to make it necessarily more of a novelty
I believe the memo is saying meta will benefit in the end because they can utilise community innovation already built in their own architecture
Fairly adolescent, digestible, pulp sci fi. It has fun moments as it zips its way through yawningly predictable character arcs towards its sugar rush of an ending. Best read when you are half concentrating on something more important you should be doing.
I found discovery diverting but I’m enjoying strange new worlds and lower decks immensely more
I tried Thai stick in northern Thailand in the 00s. You would drive out of town, past a military checkpoint and towards a local waterfall and dealers would pop out of the bushes. The weed itself was nothing to write home about but driving it back into town past the military point was hair raising (and very dumb)
Ah cool! I’m trying it out right now. Thanks for helping troubleshoot.
Ah oh interesting - how do I update though? I’m on testflight ought it not grab the update automatically?
There is some punctuation in the password, How important is it to be specific?
Edit: thanks for the responses!
I’ve been embracing the weirdness of multiple platforms with distinct cultures and equally enjoying going to different parts of the internet again after quite some time! I do miss the sense that in browsing Reddit you could sample the cultural pulse of a particular demographic cluster.

Forgive me, if this is already been posted, but I downloaded the app on TestFlight and I cannot login on my account. Could anybody help me out?
How will the fediverse respond to AI orgs scraping Lemmy/the fediverse for training data?
Wanting to profit from AI companies hunt for training data (over and above the community that created that data) is a big part of what created the context for the recent migration away from Reddit. How will the fediverse approach this problem?
