  • I left briefly to go on Kbin.social first, but went back to Reddit when the instance got flooded with spam and then started to go down more often than not. I had fun customizing how my communities/magazines looked when I was on there.

    After the stupid decisions like making upvotes bannable which have worse implications longterm, I went back to the Fediverse. I decided just change instances if shit hits the fan instead of allowing myself to get back into Reddit. It sucks because I’ve used Reddit since around 2010. That being said, Lemmy feels more like how Reddit used to when I started using it.




  • I really don’t understand the people who say a human can’t walk like Bigfoot. To be fair, I come from a pretty flexible family who can walk even weirder than that.

    I’m not sure if we actually have Ehlers-Danlos but it’s a common joke in my family that we all might. (I personally think it’s because autism runs hard in the family and autistic people have higher rates of hypermobility than the rest of the population)

    Which is to say that my weird flexible autistic family could all probably impersonate Bigfoot pretty easily.
















  • That’s still really bad. If 2/3 of illiterate people were born in America, that really highlights how inconsistent education is in America.

    When I was a kid, I lived in a regular suburban neighborhood but the middle school and high schools that I was zoned for were so awful that my parents enrolled me into a charter school. (The elementary school was fine) Since then, some of the crappy schools in my city are now magnet schools and so my parents’ house appears to be zoned to different schools. There appears to be less public schools now. That’s probably not a good thing.
