I don’t see much of either in my feed, though I already heard about them. Curious now, which other niche stuff you see lots around here?

Yeah finally someone saying it. All these passive gays and second hand gay activity that nobody consented to, so rude.

Image doesn’t load. I can only see a small thumbnail but can’t read what’s in it. I guess my thoughts would be to go see an eye specialist straight away.

Lol. Jokes aside I thought Pauline got a helicopter, eh, gifted, from someone. Or maybe it was a small airplane. Or maybe I’m getting really confused.

Private Helicopter isn’t it?

All good mate, we can fight another day! :D

Well I haven’t noticed you until now, no offense. This doesn’t mean we’ve never interacted before, it just means I don’t have a mental note for your profile. There are users on Lemmy I can mention off the top of my head but you wouldn’t be in the list; you also wouldn’t be in the “ahh I remember you now” list either.

Thanks for saving me a click

I don’t think you would notice just walking down the street. Try being in an environment where you actually deal with people consistently over time, such as a classroom, an office, or a place where you volunteer.

It’s very hard to explain. I’m not American but I’ve migrated to Australia. What you will find is a culture that is probably much more polite and considerate of others than American culture, and also, the culture here doesn’t appreciate individuality much. I’m painting this with broad generalizations so of course this will differ from person to person, but generally, this is my assessment.

Individuality isn’t overtly shunned, people will tell you to be you, but subconsciously you will find the real attitude is that people who stand out are also set apart, semi ostracized. It takes loads of charisma to stand out in a positive light here. This is the land of the tall poppy syndrome. Difficult to put in words, I would bet money you won’t notice upon your arrival, you’d be like “nah man that mothra dude on lemmy was talking shit, people here are super friendly” and then after a year or two you’ll see the pattern. It’s very subtle but very much there.

AI usage is reduced to nearly zero, it’s now mostly a niche tool used only in specialized fields probably for research. No LLM girlfriend apps or book authors. No more visual slop. People may still use it occasionally but won’t take everything at face value.

Cars would be smaller. More buttons less screens. You truly own what you purchase, and that also goes for any electronics and software. Software with subscription models practically disappear. Fast food chains either increase their food quality or disappear too. They would still shrink no matter what.

Rent would become heavily regulated, and reduced. You would see an increase in work from home too, and more flexibility with people’s schedules.

I don’t know about the “bad morals and habits”. Been thinking but can’t come around many. I guess you would see a lot less sports, but I’m not sure if that’s good or bad. Maybe people become more isolated and shut in? But also if they’re now sharing more interests maybe that’s not the case.

OP already understands this is something that requires a professional, however, there is still insight to be gained from other people’s experiences.

I don’t know of a platform that specifically caters for this. Would be interested to see what others suggest. I’ve found opportunities locally at game stores, Discord, through meetup, and also through Reddit (apologies Lemmy but there is not enough user base for a city based ttrpg comm here).

Meetups is good if you run a regular session and are open to drop ins Discord and Reddit or some forum styled website would be better to fish for interest in something, but people’s schedules and priorities change so you will have to ask regularly. Not much you can do about this. I don’t see this as the platform’s fault, rather the nature of what you are trying to coordinate.

If discord messages fading too quickly is an issue you can create channels for the different games you are trying to run, or give each GM their own channel for whatever they’re pitching, and pin a message in each so they don’t get buried into oblivion. I have joined servers that use this system, not for ttrpg admittedly, but this functionality solves that issue.

When any fanatic connects whatever with their preferred framework, I guess

His Dark Materials by Philip Pullman

Concept was great but I really didn’t like how the story developed past book 1. I know the series has its fans, but it’s a big nope for me.

To save the parents the embarrassment of having to explain something they don’t understand.

Don’t get me wrong, art can be just as awkward to explain but it is socially acceptable to chalk things you don’t understand to the artist’s creative whim

Depends on how you define “financial literacy”? I think what you point at is pretty basic and obvious, and for that matter I’d say yes of course that is important but I don’t know if it qualifies as “literacy” to me.

Now, information on taxes, how investing works, how money flows, and economic/financial jargon yes I would say that is financial literacy and it matters a lot and I believe I would be slightly better positioned if I knew better.

Read the community rules…

Another one here. I figured this would include more than just millennials?

Estas hablando de un app u otro sitio no relacionado a Lemmy? Puede ser, no sé qué decir ya que pocas veces me da esta necesidad. Por lo general escribo en papel y no necesito compartirlo con nadie; y cuando necesito compartirlo, bueno, precisamente busco una platatforma social. Me parece que alguna vez me descargué en alguna comunidad Lemmy.

En mi opinion me parece que un sitio dedicado especificamente a esto seria medio redundante, como ya explique, pero esto es solamente mi opinion. Tal vez te llegan mensajes de mucha gente que opina diferente. Y a final de cuentas no te prives de hacer algo que te interesa, tampoco.
