I was gonna say I think I liked reddit more before the digg folks came. Maybe Lemmy is right where it should be.

I like the idea that there's some shift that's just getting carts all day.

"Sorry, Johnson, people haven't left enough carts out lately. We're letting you go."

I think they mean concepts like morning and evening, or day and night would remain. The difference would be that in London, midnight would be 12:00am, but in San Fransisco, midnight would be... 16:00 / 4:00pm. Each timezone would have to adjust the numbers, in the same way the southern hemisphere considers January to be in the summer.

In the case of peppers, birds are immune to the effect of capsaicin. It strikes me as an evolutionary way of ensuring your seeds get spread as far as possible, by something that flies.

Could just be chance, though, I'm no expert.

Not at all a solution, but worth mentioning that in a YouTube URL you can replace /shorts/ with /v/ and get the normal player for the same video.

That's a different situation though. A green arrow means you have full right of way to make the turn. Right-on-red is more like a stop sign.

In a few threads now where someone typed an expletive, the post gets censored and it just says removed where the word should've been.

I'm trying to link to a comment, but when I check the link, it keeps pointing to my response to them. Seems like some other lemmy quirk, but maybe it'll work for you

In another post, someone tried to say "resting removed face" but it came out "resting removed face"

edit: well that's awkward, when I tried to write b i t c h, it did it to my comment here. So it is a lemmy.ml thing?

I think it's important to bear in mind that some of those things are what neurotypical folks, I guess you could call them, use to convey interest or disinterest. Eye contact is a way to express interest, and helps to show one is intently listening to the speaker. Conversely, frequently glancing away is kind of the body language equivalent of giving short "uh huh" type answers when one is trying to disengage from a conversation.

My point isn't that you should feel bad about struggling with these nuances; I just think it's worth mentioning that some of those negative reactions you may have experienced just has to do with expectations in body language. It's not that someone who's neurodivergent is being an asshole, it's just that they're sending out signals we're otherwise used to interpreting as disinterest, and that is (often) off-putting.

Again, it's not something to feel bad about, it's just communicating on different wavelengths so-to-speak. Sort of like a language/culture difference.

Can't overstate how great it is if you're into Minecraft. Stepping into the world gives such a difference sense of scale to things.

"Pheonix is a monument to man's arrogance", as King of the Hill said.

It's one of those places I think about sometimes, wondering "do people really need to live everywhere"?
