Dried beans (lima, black-eyed peas, navy)

Why would dried beans be better than fresh or canned beans?

Okay but this demonstrates why defaulting to federation is a bad idea, doesn’t it?

Wait, are new instances federated by default?

I thought admins had to choose who they were federated with.

What are you talking about?

This is clearly a Digg.

There’s a reason they’re trying to destroy and privatize USPS. It’s highly unionized and the workers won’t let them use USPS against us.

Also, while we’re at it, USPS should also provide municipal internet.

No profit motive and no private interests.

I’m sure there could still be private carriers, just like there’s still private delivery services like UPS and FedEx, but I don’t see why the average person should be relying on a private company for essential infrastructure.

I’m not sure why the USPS shouldn’t be the sole provider of email in the US.

Okay, based on that article Zipf’s law seems to mostly apply to languages. Cities, for example, don’t follow it.

Lemmy is not a forum.

Forums are structured around activity bumping, not recency and voting. A years old thread can end up back on the front page if someone posts in it. It’s just a different medium.

And it’s a medium that we need to preserve.

I listen to pods at work: NPR and DemocracyNow for my daily news, then weekly news/commentary from Labor Stoppage, Citations Needed, Some More News/Even More News, The East is a Podcast, The Deprogram, and ChapoTrapHouse.

I write questions on bathroom stalls and then check back in on them every few days.

To be honest the quality of posts, comments, and moderation policies had gone way down hill since at least 2020.

Wasn’t that when they banned /r/chapotraphouse? 🤔

I’ll sometimes agree with stuff Trump does too, like appointing Tulsi Gabbard, but I’m not going to say this means Republicans have become the party of anti war lol

It’s kind of stupid to say that Republicans aren’t the party of big business anymore. Both parties are parties of big business.

We don’t have men’s brains. Scans actually show that our brain structures are more similar with our gender identity than our assigned gender at birth, especially after hormonal and social transitioning.
