  • Glad you’re liking it so far, welcome!

    Just a word of warning, however. The instance you’re on is rabidly authoritarian communist and they have to proselytize, if you say anything bad about China or Russia (and to a lesser extent, Iran, North Korea, really anyone who doesn’t like “The West™ блять”) you’ll likely be banned. If that happens, try any other instance other than lemmygrad or hexbear which are more of the same but worse, all the rest (like db0, .ca, .ee, .world, etc) are cool.

    I warn you, because sometimes it ends up taking people by surprise who thought they were joining a general instance not a “marxist-leninist” instance (especially now that they pretend that isn’t why they chose .ml, 3 years ago they admitted it but now they downplay it to fool the newcomers.) Sometimes it turns people off the fediverse entirely (because y’know, murderous idiots aren’t great company) but I just wanted to say that while you’d still have to deal with those people due to federation the mods on other instances don’t have their back and you won’t be banned from say .world for saying the Chinese government is a problem. Finally I’d like to add that there are instances which don’t federate with the worst two, hexbear and lemmygrad, but not many that don’t federate with .ml.















  • I fully agree. My christmas bonus at work is in one of those visa gift cards and I wish they’d just direct deposit it (but I’m sure my boss gets some kind of deal from visa so they’re cheaper or something due to his business acct, that has to be why.)

    That said though, if you have $20 left over but need like $30 for the purchase, you tell the cashier “hey I have $20 on this I want to use up, then I have cash/card for the remainder.” They’ll let you.


  • Well, I was afraid that I could do nothing to quell a home invasion, which not only was my area having an uptick in but my best friend’s house (and the friend) fell victim to, pistol whipped him and everything we had to glue his scalp back together.

    Then I bought a gun. I already knew how to use them because “Uncle,” so I didn’t have to learn how, which was a plus, just had to learn the laws and practice technique. Now I’m not so scared of home invasions, I can defend myself against them, and I’ve since moved out of the hood which was another huge bonus, but they still happen here too.

    Luckily so far the only time I ever did have to use it I was in a walmart parking lot, not home, and the guy with a knife pointed at us turned and left when he saw me grab it, not a shot fired thank “Bob.”
