I grew concerned when I saw an advert that one can bet on the outcome of the US general election.

How to un-downvote a post?

Bright line is also expensive ($80ish for Miami to Orlando) and has caused a number of accidents so far…

Seems like an old soul in that tiny cute body

Whiskers on fleek

Gotcha. It does feel hopeless. But we are doing what we can… preserving our public forum via the fediverse being one step.

Idk there were generations who went through two world wars…

I found this website really helpful. It rounds up subreddits that existed on Reddit and the places they’ve moved to in the Fediverse.

Is there a buy it for life community here on Lemmy/Kbin yet? If there’s something like that, maybe asking questions here would generate some okay responses. It won’t be as immediate, but it would also help grow the amount of useful info we have in the fediverse.

They’re adding accessibility to some of the subway stations that are big junction points. When it’s complete, it’ll make it just a bit easier for everyone to use the public transit network downtown, and make certain commutes that were extremely inconvenient a bit more accessible. Hope they keep doing this!

Agreed. Also funny because this whole thing started because of well-designed native apps in the first place…

Been playing around with Limbo as well. Limbo is a bit ahead of Memmy in terms of allowing management of multiple accounts, but Memmy seems more lightweight on my iOS device.

I think the difference is that 1:1 I’m pretty okay — it’s just when I’m trying to engage with a group that I start to feel uncomfortable.

Also a gay dude if that changes the equation? Especially at concerts, sometimes all it takes to start something is the right kind of eye contact.

Socially, to echo another commenter, I remain in a fundamental way the same shy person that I’ve always been. One friend once described me as looking like a young boy in a built man’s body, which, especially when I’m anxious, is probably accurate.

At the same time, dating has transformed completely. I totally pull at bars/concerts and on apps in a way I didn’t when I was less fit. The nice thing about being shy and fit is that I can lean into the shyness coming off as being demure/adorable and people are generally down with that.

More than anything though, I’m healthy, and that feels really good. I enjoy leaving my house. I want to be in situations where my heart rate elevates and I engage my senses and work my body. In this sense, I feel like I put myself out into the world a lot more than I did when I was less fit.
