No Flinching by Stephen King. It’s a good book, but you really have to go back and start with the Mr. Mercedes series.

Huh weird. I’ve got an account on .world and if I use that with Sync, posts don’t show get marked as read for me. Wonder what I’m doing wrong.

Really? Do posts show as read for you? Maybe Lemmy.world is still running an old version of Lemmy. Once sh.itjust.works patched to a new version 8 or 9 months ago, Sync became completely unusable for me.

Not gonna lie, it brought a smile to my face when you were sitting in your house on a cool spring day, reading a somewhat plausible but lengthy story about a captivating subject. Then you got a slight suspicion that this story almost seemed too good. Too perfect for the situation. How could this random person on the Internet have such a great story about being a snake charmer, a stunt pilot, or whatever. Then it hits you just like when back in nineteen ninety eight the undertaker threw mankind off hell in a cell and plummeted sixteen feet through an announcers table.

I’ve been on sh.itjust.works for the last couple of years. The admins are cool as hell. Highly recommend.

I know right?!

my neighbors are trekkies and Linux, as a fan of windows and star wars

Made this a couple weeks ago for you

Glad to be of assistance, homie

Lol one of the comments was:

first day on lemmy, and this is the shit i see right off the bat. I found my reddit replacement.

I felt exactly the same way

Lack of sports content is a bit of a rough spot for Lemmy. This is one of the few places where Linux memes get substantially more engagement than a super bowl thread.

Side note, the superb owl community here is pretty great.

Lol same here. Jesus that whole site is atrocious now.

Someone else suggested saying when all the 3rd party API supported apps stopped working - but there’s only so much room on a meme text box, ya know?

I remember 2 years ago trying out Lemmy and getting a few laughs about beans and trying not to poop. I thought “this is ok, but I don’t think this will ever replace Reddit in my day to day.”

But I stuck with it and have come to love and appreciate Lemmy. The number of users has continued to grow and I feel like there’s enough content here now that I never feel bored. Plus I feel like even small posts and comments get attention and we’re not just screaming into the void.

So happy cake day to all who did the same thing!

They’re “fighting non-stop”… except they’re fighting for tyranny.

We were having a movie night in our neighborhood a few years back where we got a bedsheet and a cheap projector. We hooked it up to a laptop to project a movie on someone’s garage for the neighborhood kids.

We ended up projecting The Lego Movie and most of the kids lost interest about half an hour in - and were falling asleep and ready to go home.

I’ll be damned if it wasn’t one of the best animated movies I’ve ever seen. I sent my wife home with our youngest just so I could stay and finish the movie.

Lol now that you mention it, I didn’t see the first Puss in Boots, but took my kids to see the 2nd in the theater. I distinctly remember thinking “God damn, this movie is fucking good for a sequel to a spinoff to a movie that had two mediocre sequels.”

I checked and was 1 year 11 months, so close enough for meme accuracy.
