I’m looking forward to research on that.

I’ve an impression that “people are even nastier than before” has been a result of Trump era politics which reveled in nastiness — which itself appeared to be a pushback from nasty people about Obama being president. Basically its been a growing divide and was made a lot worse when such a prominent political group doubled down on divisiveness as a tribal identity.

I think it predated covid, which certainly made things worse, but I don’t really know what the cause was.

Boulder really wants a passenger train too!

Looking back from almost twice your age … you’re not screwed at all, you could have it all ahead of you.

When I was 28 I met my future wife. We’re currently planning a trip for our 20th. It’s been the best half of my life (by a lot).

CO. Mostly dry heat.

I’m here in my van on a hot hot day doing ‘work’ (in this case a little browsing of lemmy).

cooling me down is a "arctic air’ USB fan with a little water reservoir providing a misting action. I think I said, “as seen on tv” like six times after buying it because how stupid can you get – but i needed a fan and this is what the local hardware store had that ran on USB.

Wow. I love it. Fast, quiet, low power, good air, and the misting function is awesome. I’d buy it again in a heartbeat. (assuming it doesn’t break within a week).

If they don’t want to text you because they care what your device is, they’re not friends you want to have.

(this goes both ways. Lots of apple hate in this thread but, wtf, just get on with life folks. if you give a shit what hardware I run, or think i care about your choices, we’re probably not going to be friends).
