My friend can follow 2-3 separate conversations while talking to me. Meanwhile I have a hard time following our conversation.

I could only listen to them while I was employed as a driver. A few podcasts and NPR kept my brain happy.

When working at the computer I can only listen to EDM with no lyrics (possibly some ADHD).

It does not prevent people from voting.

It may, however, amplify distortions of the truth or bold-face lies.

With regards to AIPAC it amplifies the voice of a group that is ONLY concerned with the advancement of Israeli interests.

Union trades. That's where the money is, unfortunately for this conversation few areas have full union coverage.

I've worked in NYC. You can not do much in commercial buildings without union help.

CA's goofy primary system lumps GOP and Dem candidates all together. Top two go to November ballet. Adam Schiff focused his advertising on the GOP guy, totally ignoring Katie Porter and Barbara Lee. Since Adam Schiff had a huge budget this meant LOTS of advertising for the GOP guy. Schiff and GOP guy were top two. GOP has no chance to win in November

Them: "I keep getting an error message." Me: "What's it say." Them: "I don't remember."

edit - the original title was "Are Picture Uploads Allowed or Not?"

I know pic uploads weren't allowed and a file size message would appear.

I forgot and made a post earlier today with a pic (PNG). There was no error but the pic didn't appear. I updated the post with a link to the picture hosted elsewhere (pixelfed.social).

Before this post I created a test post with another picture (JPG) and it uploaded and displayed. (edit - I deleted the post).

I added the same test picture to this post.

I'm pessimistic when it comes to companies using my data but I assume they will use and abuse that info forever.

I believe lemmy.world is to good for it's own good. As one of the largest instances it is under constant attack. This sucks as a user but has lead to many improvements in the code.

I started out there and started a community there. Since then I've moved to a much smaller instance as my main account and contribute monthly. It would be really nice if I could move the community as well.

CL is huge in larger metro areas like LA or SF Bay area. I've bought and sold many vehicles plus smaller stuff.

The lower operating costs of LEDs allows people/organizations/govt to leave the lights on longer or all night at a reduce costs compared to filament bulbs.

This is often to the detriment of migratory birds.

Lights Out encourages LED light users to turn them off at night.

Seen them in Thailand. Red Bull was originally in small shot format.cam from there, and it was adapted for other markets.
