  • What are your favorite news sources?

    Jump

  • Morning Brew. Their daily emails give me just the right amount of news. Most of the major stories in a concise format. I usually hate emails so I was skeptical when setting this up, but I do like it

  • How is it even possible/practical to obey traffic laws?

    Jump

  • You’re right, you could. I never have been ticketed or in an accident. It’d be better if everyone followed the speed limit, but since that doesn’t happen I try to take the safest approach possible given the situation.

    Jump

  • I’d go with the flow even if they are going over. Drivers going at different speeds can lead to dangerous situations so I try to avoid that most of all. If there’s little traffic then I’d go about the speed limit.

    Jump

  • Getting a speeding ticket while going 3 miles over the speed limit sucks so I can see why you’re upset.

    I’ve never had a problem just going with the flow of traffic. Sometimes almost everyone is going over the speed limit. I go with that. I’ve lived in Minnesota most of my life. I’m more comfortable than most driving in snow and ice. Sometimes in snowy conditions the flow of traffic seems slower than necessary. Yet, again, I just go with the traffic flow and end up driving a bit slower than I would otherwise. If there’s little to no traffic I just go the speed limit. If someone wants in my lane I let them in whenever possible.

  • New school bus route is a 'disaster,' Kentucky superintendent admits. Last kids got home at 10 pm

    Jump

  • They have middlewalks instead

  • What would you recommend as a first Apple Watch?

    Jump

  • Always On display is the only feature that seems meaningful to me in comparing the SE vs Series 8. I definitely can't justify a $200 cost difference for that alone for a new watch. A used/refurbished Series 8 might make sense if I decide I need that.

  • What are some notable scams in history that went unnoticed for so long?

    Jump

  • Scam for sure. Hard to say it’s been unnoticed for a long time though

  • Disney Raises Prices for Streaming Services by as Much as 27% - Lemmy.world

    Jump

  • Making changes isn’t surprising since the current pricing is losing money.

  • Disney Raises Prices for Streaming Services by as Much as 27% - Lemmy.world

    Jump

  • They’re losing subscribers and money so I guess it’s not surprising. I’m down to zero streaming services after cutting back this year. The last couple subscriptions I’ve gotten I immediately cancelled and binge watched for the month my subscription lasted. There was no need to extend the subscription after that. Most services you can exhaust the content in a month or two of heavy use.

  • Thinking about getting a donkey

    Jump

  • i don’t have experience with donkeys, however I grew up on a farm with mostly cattle, but we also had pigs, sheep, horses, chickens, etc on occasion. I wouldn’t recommend leaving any farm animal on its own if it can be avoided. Especially if you’re going to be gone for days on end. Get 2 donkeys if you can, or another animal companion for it, and make sure there is someone who can check in once or twice a day when you’re gone

  • Happy v1... also, Voyager is going to the App Store

    Jump

  • Thank you for keeping the PWA!

  • Box Office: ‘Barbie’ Struts to Record $26.1M Monday for Warner Bros.

    Jump

  • Last time I went to the theater it was $25 per ticket. I couldn't believe it.

  • How can my wife and I make new friends?

    Jump

  • Anything where you’re meeting the same people on repeat occasions. It’s pretty rare to form a friendship after only meeting people one or a couple of times. Friendships are often formed gradually. It’s easier growing up because it’s structured into so many things. You see the same people in classes, sports, clubs, etc. Friendships will form naturally in those settings. Try to find something to replicate that. It could be volunteer work, a workshop to learn something new, joining a community that shares a hobby. The key is bumping into the same people over and over

  • The Flash (2023) VFX

    Jump

  • That’s interesting. I didn’t enjoy Batman in this

  • Elon May Have a Huge Issue Because Microsoft Owns the “X” Trademark

    Jump

  • Yeah definitely don’t need to check that out beforehand

  • Mastodon Usage Soaring as Twitter Rebranding Leads to User Exodus: CEO Eugen Rochko

    Jump

  • What was Musk's logic? Was there any? It's like he ruined the reputation of Twitter and decided to try a restart under a new name but it's predictably failing.

  • ‘THEM!’ might seem quaint, but I still think it’s an actually good movie.

    Jump

  • This movie is awesome! I need to rewatch it

  • People of Lemmy who have either "reinvented themselves" or gone through a mid/quarter-life crisis, where did you start off and where did you end up?

    Jump

  • Nothing too extreme, but I’m in my mid-30s and this year has been one of the most productive of my life. I started a new job in late December. The pay is similar to the job I left. The stress is much lower. Immediately I felt like I had a better work life balance. I have so much extra energy every day.

    I started dieting and taking long walks. I lost 35 pounds in 6 months. I listened to a bunch of audiobooks while walking and I’ve also read some ebooks. Together I’ve read 25 books and counting this year whereas most years I’ll read 2 or 3. Once I was nearing my goal weight I increased my calories and started exercising more intensely, with a goal of gaining muscle and losing fat while maintaining weight. I picked up indoor rowing. I’m on week 11 of a 24 week training program. I row hard (working up an intense sweat) 5 days a week Monday- Friday in the mornings. In addition to this I’ve started weightlifting 2 days a week and will gradually increase to 4 days a week while keeping up my rowing routine.

    Financially, I started budgeting with YNAB and it has transformed my personal finances. My savings rate has increased significantly and wasteful spending decreased. I moved my savings into a HYSA. I left a financial advisor who was charging excessive fees and moved my investment and retirement accounts to Fidelity where I now manage my portfolio myself. Some of my reading was investing books which gave me confidence I could do this. I’ve tripled the amount I’m contributing to my 401k.

    Although I’m new to my job I’ve received constant praise from multiple people in the time I’ve been there. I feel like I have room for growth to move up positions. At the rate I’m going I think I could realistically expect to move up in another 6 months or so.

  • The Flash (2023) VFX

    Jump

  • The simple display on his watch seems fine to me. I thought it was a decent movie. Acting, CGI and storyline were all okay. Not great, not terrible. I'd like to see more originality in Flash movies/shows but for mindless entertainment it was alright.
