Yo [he/him]
We need a finalboss community
Here in Greece concert performances of foreign bands/artists cost around 30€ to 90€ (depending on how well known the artists are) and many times it is a festival with more than one band performing.
I think Greek bands/artists charge around 0€ to 30€ for concerts (0€ because some do it out of charity, to help a cause)
Btw I think I’ve never used ticketmaster, we have a viva.com which handles many of the tickets (and it too is an annoying service).
Wait, I ~never was notified that it got to 25mb, I thought it was 8
Hey, I had seen that meme around here some weeks ago, but I lost it and was searching it recently. Thank you, gonna share it with my friend now:)
I think from the tests I did here with 2 people (from different instances) the downvotes are from any instance that federates with mine (though still not 100% sure).
I asked above to downvote me from their non-mander.xyz instance and I can see 2 downvotes.
Can you see my downvote on your comment? (Give it about a hour or so to federate)
I will remove it when you’ll reply (or if a day has passed).😅
Also, can you see any downvotes on this post? (I see 6 so far.)
So does this mean the downvotes I see on blahaj are exactly the number of downvotes from all the users in instances that allow downvotes which my instance federates with?
(I wrote it in such a confusing way, but I dont know if I can make it any better😅)
Edit: could you please downvote this comment from your (not mander.xyz) instance to test if the downvotes federate?
I’m still not very sure about this and I wanted to ask about it here for a long time. I think they are “disabled”, but I think on lemmy, disabling them means that for every 5 downvotes the system shows a downvote. I don’t exactly understand how it works on communities with downvotes disabled.
Edit: I found this post by Ada about a year ago:
https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/104422
Turns out that it (probably) was decided to modify the downvote system so that for every 5 downvotes, 1 downvote appears. I’m still kinda confused tho😅
Probably first time seeing a post on 196 that has same number of upvotes and downvotes (and it’s not 1-1)💀
Yeah I should probably do a test some day. I’m visiting various doctors lately to fix vairous issues, I will probably go there too eventually.
It’s even worse when you are in a closed space… I went this year to a concert unprepared (in closed space) without my earplugs and ouchhh, I thought I had lost some hearing due to the strong temporary ringing (I still have some doubts whether my hearing is ok). Same with clubs, I dont go often but I might start bringing my earplugs there too
Oh I wasnt aware that there could be such a problem, I ~hadnt ever encountered such an issue.😅
Huh, maybe Im weird, but I ~use the water to just wash out the soap (and maybe sometimes I pour hot water for a minute to relax).
I made my process even more efficient few years ago by applying soap both at the head and body before removing it (used to first wash the hair and then the body) and I no longer wash my hair twice (unless the 1st wash wasnt enough).
Edit: I’m from Greece in case it’s a culutral difference
From wikipedia:
A Navy shower […] is a method of showering that allows for significant conservation of water and energy by turning off the flow of water in the middle portion of the shower while lathering.
Dont people just turn off the water when they apply soap to themeselves?
I know thats not the point of the story, but that guy kinda wasted a chance of creating an army of bugs and become a real hero. Such a shame.
On the other hand, we got a very good story full of misery:)
Wait is it dead? I wanted one 10 years ago, but I never got one, cuz it was too expensive (arduino became an alrernative later but havent tried to build ~anything).
Yeah it makes sense that they dont last long enough
Wut👀 wow, thanks
Might check it soon
I ~never did and I think it’s a combination of various reasons:
I’m kinda shy (internally I might use a more offensive language, but I might even censor that too). And the fact that I’m not using such language for so long makes it more awkward to use it now.
In my family we probably use less vulgar laguange than the typical one, so I wasnt exposed that much on it (on the contrary, I was exposed to way more uncensored content on the internet and that may be why some vulgar phrases in English seem more natural/normal, while the same ones translated in Greek (my mother language) seem more offensive.
Many times I find it unecessary. I think they’re better used when you’re angry and help you let some steam out, rather than using them in a calm conversation with friends for example (though when others people use them even on me in a friendly way I kinda seem to like it for some reason? I might think we’re close so they feel confident to talk to ke that way?)
Maybe it’s just one of my quirks, lol. I might just do it, for not much reason.
I find many (not all!) of the vulgar phrases to discriminate minorities and people in general. I really dont want to use such words. I dont want to cause harm to innocent people just because I got angry.
I could probably think more if I spent more time thinking, hm
As I said, I dont think I ever used such language, so I dont think there’s a change to talk about. Just some people might notice it and possibly comment about it (usually in good faith?)
Kinda yes, sometimes I’m in a bad situation and kinda want to, but I dont want those conditions to “break” me. This might not make much sense tho.🤷
