Is Android a valid answer? Maybe not Google's monstrosity but AOSP (although I feel as though it's hard to extricate one from the other save for projects like GrapheneOS).

I had a crush on a girl during the last few months of my last semester in undergrad (we were both going to grad school in different states). Beautiful and smart, we talked a lot during class discussions, we texted each other once in a while. This girl had me daydreaming while driving and cheesing hard while singing to pop songs with the windows rolled down. So I decide to ask her out. We meet up at a coffee shop, turns out the coffee shop is closed but we walk over to an ice-cream shop and talk and flirt for hours. We hug goodbye and I'm beaming on my way back home. We continue texting back and forth for a few days and I decide to ask her out once again. I ask if Saturday works for her and she replies that she's going to be celebrating her third anniversary with her boyfriend on Saturday but maybe Sunday would work. I had no idea she had a boyfriend, so needless to say, that went nowhere. Or rather, we both went our separate ways and I'm still considering reaching out once I'm done with grad school.

They absolutely do! I don't understand the snobbery against audiobooks. When Borges lost his sight he had to have books read to him, and just consider the amazing stories he came up with (and the literary devices he developed) to make up for his blindness.

Last year I was on a road trip and we stopped by a convenience store in the middle of nowhere. Bought so many Fujifilm 200 rolls since they were like $2 each. No clue why they were so cheap, they were even 36-negative rolls.

The complacency with the direction the site took, which is natural, as on Reddit you’re only a user at the mercy of admin decisions, while it seems, at least at this stage, that Lemmy instance admins actively seek out the opinions of the community regarding both development and content matters.

I was recently reading Scalzi too! His blog is great too.

Not familiar with royal road, what’s that?

I do for niche communities, especially those for reading / books / literature. There’s fewer of those here on Lemmy, and the ones in languages other than English are nonexistent.
