Cats are awesome, no doubt! And I totally get the appeal of chilling with a furry friend over small talk. But here’s a thought: people who want to get to know you are pretty cool too.

Sometimes we need to remind ourselves that other humans aren’t just NPCs in our personal storyline. They’ve got their own complex lives, hopes, dreams, and probably some wild stories to share if we give them a chance.Getting to know both the cats AND the people (and dogs too!) can really enrich your life. Each interaction, whether it’s with a purring kitty or a fellow partygoer, adds a little something to who you are. So maybe try not to avoid either?

(Unless you’re allergic, of course. Then by all means, stick to the non-sneezy option!)

Don’t fruit trees need extra care and pruning, and the fruit that falls to the ground is also kind of a mess to clean up. Sturdy trees are good in the city, since they are low upkeep and very good for air quality and shade. I am however a huge fan of vertical gardens with edible plants. Imagine a whole wall with mint growing on it, that would be wicked!

I agree wholeheartedly

“One Rich Asshole Called Larry”, which is a common joke about the company’s founder Larry Ellison.

Or

"One Real Asshole Called...", which is another derogatory joke about the company and its leadership.

Thank you for putting how I feel browsing Lemmy into words. I really hope that more wholesome communities can gain more traction soon.

Nice! Is there a kit you’re buying or are you sourcing parts from Aliexpress or similar? If you’re interested there is a guy doing open source pedal sets and shifter which I’m thinking of building as next project. https://www.youtube.com/@LeboisRacing

Ah! Thanks, I will check it out. TS-PC is indeed what I meant. Maybe this is a good reason to upgrade my sim setup to more open source friendly brand.

I am in a similar situation, I use quest 2 a lot to drive in assetto corsa. I have a Thrustmaster TS 300 PC, I don’t think there are any Linux drivers for that base.

Hey, you do you man. If you solely base your opinion of people based on what car they drive I am not going to convince you otherwise. I mostly presume this is meant as a trigger post to drive engagement, in which you succeeded.

With that said, I have a model 3 and I’m pretty happy with the car and how Tesla have been treating me. The supercharger network is fantastic for long travel. I don’t agree with Musk on most things and maybe my next car won’t be a Tesla. It’s always a pros/cons weighing on what features you value most atm.
