For most it's an appetite suppressant. Bear in mind, exercise is rarely a weight loss tool. It's very important but it's not really a way to lose weight

Subs=subscriptions.

Was wild logging in this morning to see it and thinking "yep this is going to be a hit" and coming back to see the highest voted Lemmy post ever

There's no way to prevent it entirely. A larger community will slide that way.

I do think that it can be less encouraged though.

I don't really want to miss my family for that long. Maybe I'd go back to when my kids were babies and become a live-in nannydad? I could see that getting weird though.

If I didn't have that level of control but I absolutely had to go somewhen, I guess I'd either go a few decades in the future to see how it shapes up, or to the neolithic era so I could finally find out a bunch of things we'd never otherwise have known. That era seems like it was pretty cool, and I happen to know enough baseline science to actually recreate some of my favourite amenities.

I think the right way to go is fine a good local computer store with knowledgeable people and get their help parting out and assembling it. You get some repair coverage and benefits like that, they do the bulk of the work, and you can put your own options in on anything you're knowledgeable about. It's what I've done and it's well worth it for the small extra cost.

I don't understand why anyone is naïve enough to still preorder from companies like Bethesda.

Mostly I don't understand pre-ordering games at all (patient gamers represent) but from Bethesda? You're basically paying to get kicked in the shins. Surely we all know this by now.

Tempted to plug in, you mean?

I was hoping when I saw the caption that they'd have used 暇, as in "we have free time"

Heck you can even start crossposting content with credit.

I'd suggest that beehaw's concerns could be met with a tool that lets you disable posting or voting from off-instance users unless they meet threshold criteria, whether it be account age or post history or manual approval. That would allow you to keep your content interaction controlled without the nuclear option of complete removal.

If you charge for the service, it will be fee male.
