Hello, my name is Cris. :)

I like being nice to people on the internet and looking at cool art stuff

  • Forgot to reply lol. The local kink community has social events often on a schedule I can participate in, and its mostly just queer neurodivergent nerdy folks, so thats been my big community connection so far, and has been really good for me.

    I just recently started going to my normal event again after a weird stint on a daytime schedule. It was lovely to see and catch up with folks again, and I ended up making plans to go work on a car with a friend I sometimes see at that event. It was a blast and we replaced a starter motor which was super cool ☺️

    I'd really like to have more opportunities to engage with community though, so I'm hoping to find more ways to feel connected :)

  • Thats so cool, thanks for the plant milk history lesson!!

  • Sorry, I probably could have specified it was a clone and saved you the down votes 😅. I only recognized it cause I was chatting with someone in another thread on this comm and they told me about it, and I noticed the icon on the top of the click wheel being difference from the iPod (I'm a ui nerd so I like really enjoy interfaces, hardware or software)

    Anyway, hope you have a lovely day :)

  • I've heard amazing things about Rumble if competitive PvP earth bending in vr appeals to you

  • I gotta give plasma another try now that we're on 6.x, I keep hearing good things. I think I'll probably still be a gnome person but if kde was in a better place than last time I used it that'd be rad. I don't always love the way gnome is run as a project 😅

  • Knockoff toys specifically is such a fun premise for a wiki

  • Is it a known thing that they were dishonest about speaking to a lawyer with that situation?

    I've been meaning to change instances and find a new home, if it's known that they lied or mislead their users thats something I'd love to know more about

  • I think someone told me about those devices, can't remember what it's called- how do you like it? Love the yellow color, looks super pretty

  • Thats bit of history is super cool, thanks for sharing! I will remember that

  • While it is good to have empathy and understanding for less technical folks, OP may be in a better position to know what is realistic for their family and level of support they can provide

  • I know this is kinda offtopic, but does anyone have some really accessible reccomendations for learning more about anarchist ideology?

    I'm not really at a reading theory kinda point yet but I'd love to learn a little more

  • While that's true I don't think Bernie is trying to say every district, he's disagreeing with the broader notion from entrenched Democrats that these are outliers that can't be replicated and that the Democratic party needs to stay moderate (neoliberal) to win. The article lists a couple more races where we could see this pattern of more progressive candidates winning continue

    Other progressive victories victories could be on the horizon in Maine, where Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner has had a double-digit lead over Gov. Janet Mills in polls ahead of the June primary and raised three times as much as Mills and Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) combined in small donations in the final quarter of 2025; and North Carolina, where Durham County Commissioner Nida Allam is challenging Rep. Valerie Foushee for a second time after losing a close race in 2022.

    (Nida Allam is up for vote where I am I believe. While Foushee hasn't been a bad representative I'm excited to do more research on Allam and think I may be voting for her :)

  • Oh eons ago I was raised nondenominationally christian. My missing those things is less a reflection of having had them in the past, and more a reflection of having much less access to community in the present. I dont think I really appreciated those things about church when I was a kid, and while it wasn't a bad experience (except when I joined for adult service, which bored me to tears), I don't really want back the same kind of church experience I has when I was little. It was lots of kids activities that snuck in ideals about how to be a good person and worship practices.

    But I have a circadian rhythm disorder that limits my ability to get together with other people cause everyone's asleep for the bulk of time I'm awake, so connection to other people is precious to me. I'd love to find a way to participate in that kind of fellowship and discuss how we strive to be people we can take pride in and build good lives and communities for ourselves

  • I'm not, but I kind of miss the community connection and discussion of life wisdom that religion serves.

    I've thought about trying to go to a universalist Unitarian service sometime, since I've heard they dont really care if you are a more secular person, they're not a Christian church, and welcome folks of all sorts of world views

  • I mean linux distros are in effect kind of like a bunch of different OSes all based on the linux kernel.

    It definitely would have been more helpful for them to describe it as a distro though

  • Interesting. It does look like homicide solve rates are the highest in general. Thanks for the link!

  • Are the solve rates for homicide particularly good?
