That's very negative, however I must concur that it's a fact the correlative conjunctions were incorrectly placed to negate the possibilities.

Whether that fact is true or not is up to you.

up/down voting is simply a way to help comments you think are good, or agree with, become more/less dominant in the thread.

In some cases, comments are useful to explain why - but often that's just not the case.

Fireworks are brilliant. I think you live somewhere with cultural issues... people reserve the right to party and annoy everyone else...

They have their time and place - and 2am sounds more like problms with arseholes, not Fireworks.

They should be banned after 9pm (except for New Year - extend until 00:20 for that).

I've been witness to some amazing displays that bring tears to my eyes they were so awesome. The most memorable being ones that I'm close enough to feel the pressure wave, a truly trouser flapping experience.

I think 'soul' is not something which exists in itself - it is the idea of the essence of a thing, the thing which causes an individual life.

So theories go around that there are spiritual beings separate from the physical (debatable) and I personally think that it extends to all life, such that trees can have awareness which can also extend beyond their physical bodies.

As such, they obviously exist - but their exact definition and nature is quite hard to grasp. I don't think they can survive physical death.

Swastika/fasist tattoos and memorabilia are often simply anti-authority expression and not really fascist ideology (as witnessed recently with ex-cons, UKR and Russian soldiers being caught out and branded as being 'Nazi' or 'fascist').

'true fact'.

  • Facts cannot be anything except for true.
  • Anyone who uses the two words 'true fact' together cannot be trusted because they know neither the meaning of the word 'true' or the word 'fact'.

Over obsessing with puns is a recognised psychological issue...

At school, I remember the time I was jealous of our 'class clown' who was genuinely pretty hilarious every time he opened his mouth and extremely popular (especially with the girls). The worst thing to do is to try to emulate that (go home, study a ton of jokes... I'm sure everyone did that at some stage).

I think one of the lessons I worked hard to teach my son is that you shouldn't make an effort to be funny, because that's mostly just four-king annoying. Since then, his jokes come less frequently - but with higher hit-rates.

But for sure, Reddit seems to have an average mentality of 6 to 12.

The worst trap to get into is to try to make jokes about unemployed people - because they never work.

Haha I cannot say for sure. I certainly started to duplicate my credentials... so now I'm more likely to be logged in as BendyLemmy.

So initially it was Lemmy.ml (which wasn't working too well) and it got annoying that I wasn't logged in when opening links - so BeeHaw, Lemmy.world, https://fosstodon.org/ is BendyToy,...

One thing I'm finding useful now in Bitwarden is that I can autofill and copy (so just refresh for a new password) to get the same username for each one... but it's kind of getting out of hand.

It's a little frustrated that we can't use a kind of centralised profile - like the way an 'opendesktop' account can be used to log in to various instances of websites. If I log in the Opendesktop website, and then go to Mastodon, I find my Opendesktop account gets logged in there - so there's more fragmentation.

Overal it is just very confusing.

I can't see this post, I am just replying to let you know that.

Don't ever join the infantry, I imagine you in camouflage approaching the enemy - and you stand up and shout "Please, I need to stay hidden - so let me know if you can see me so that I can hide more effectively".

Some of the jokes were nice - with the best laughs coming from the replies and the bad puns.

Confusion here between 'Service' and 'Software' methinks...

Here's Discord running in a FOSS browser...

So I wouldn't be worrying about software.
