I do that with my playstation too, but it’s rear mode instead of off.

Slippy slippy hopscotch!

Posies and pleasing aromas

I swear I’d buy tickets to anything if the sellers tagine was “we’re not ticketmaster/livenation”

Kiss and ride?

What are snaps and telemetry?

I’ll talk about it with you!

Same. I am happy using discord or family/friend group chats to keep up with them, but I need a ‘town square’ where I can go and learn what events are on nearby, what restaurants are doing special nights etc. But I don’t want that town square to sell me ads, I just want to look at the notice board and see what new stuff takes my fancy. So how do we connect the consumers to the businesses without having an overlord who will try to sell things to the consumers by charging the businesses?

Scotland - you’ll get a pot of brewed tea or a cup with a black tea bag in. And some milk.

Way easier than expected. I used to spend hours mindlessly scrolling on reddit, occasionally learning something useful but that was the exception. I suffer from anxiety so I genuinely had concerns about quitting reddit, but also recognised it was an unhealthy way to spend so much free time. I left on the first day of the protests and haven’t been back since. Was honestly surprised and impressed at myself for managing it so easily (rediscovered my love of crosswords and my kindle). Joined Lemmy 2 days ago, so still finding my feet but so far it scratches that itch of keeping a little bit in-the-loop with pop culture. (But with time limits firmly on this time!)
