The search in Jerboa is…limited. It searches on community name(not display name) and it will only show about a dozen of the largest communities as results and nothing more. You essentially need to already know what you’re looking for to find a great deal of value from it.

You really have to search for communities externally if you’re looking for something that isn’t a niche interest. There’s a small handful of directory sites that help with this, but I can’t for the life of me remember them at the moment if someone can help me out 😅

Edit: Mentaledge beat me too it. Lemmyverse.net is the largest of them.

Just go for it and walk around with it! You can always take it off with a little bit a acetone and a minutes effort if you don’t like it!

Having your nails painted isn’t nearly as scary as it sounds. You might get a second glance sometimes, but mostly people don’t really care and it’s all in your head. Mine are a nice flashy corral color right now and I haven’t had any negative interactions. In a worst case you just kind of get the feeling that people are actively trying to not comment on it.

It honestly works great as a good social filter. Sometimes I’ll run into a cashier or someone similar in passing who seems uncomfortable with it(usually older folks), but it’s otherwise a good way to find other queer folks or allies in the wild and start a conversation.

That song is actually a reference to the older video that I linked to. It shows the original creator, JT Sexkik as a credit in the beginning.

It’s a reference to a meme video of someone reading misspelled Yahoo answer users asking pregnancy questions. It’s quite entertaining.

YouTube Link to the video in question.

Hahaha there was no animosity. We just had a gentlemans agreement to not play and let the NPC’s win. Sometimes that was favorable for you, sometimes it wasn’t, but it was pretty fair over the course of the entire game.

Those mini-games where you had to quickly rotate were banned in my house. They absolutely destroyed the analog stick of my controllers.

You’ve done nothing wrong, however even if your question is not political certain people will try to make it political. Things will calm down a bit in about a month.

A lot of details regarding day to day Chinese life is not available to the Western world. You may have trouble finding an answer that’s based on actual evidence, but people are very similar despite where they live and their motives will be comparable. People here will definitely be able to help you in that regard.

It’s very close to a US election and people are being bombarded with highly emotionally charged stories and political information all day and everyone is a bit on edge currently. There’s also a pretty large amount of sinophobia on this platform in general too. I don’t have an answer to your question, but please try not to take what others might say too personally.

I see your comments all the time and I just want to say, thank you.

I don’t have the energy or care enough to put forth the effort to try to explain these things to the brick wall that is the standard Liberal viewpoint around here. I’m just glad someone is though.

I’ve been asking myself the exact same thing.

The top level comment on this thread, to which you complained about graphical syntax, is discussing the MAU decline over the past 30 days.

If you start at zero, the exact same data is shown as when there is a clearly labeled breakpoint. It contributes nothing other than obscuring the data points and scope of discussion is only for the past month. You’re not making a cogent point.

Just like I said before, a 5% decline is not an insignificant drop or “very slightly declined.” Expanding the scope of the argument to show that it’s actually a far steeper decline in user engagement and then arguing the opposite point is misinterpreting the data. Expanding the scope just shows that the trends are continuously showing declining user engagement with no organic growth other than Reddit fucking up.

Showing the data over an entirely different timescale than what’s currently under discussion means nothing in this context to illustrate your point.

Starting from 0 on the y axis just means you need to change the scale, which like I said makes reading any data points incomprehensible, or end up with an unnecessary amount of whitespace.

All starting at 0 would do is ensure that you have no way to accurately gauge the data points values. It would also just compress the data to an incomprehensible smudge of a line.

The starting point is just so you can adequately see trends for both plots shown and is quite sane. I also don’t know if I could call an ~5% decline and clear trend minimal either.

Exactly. There isn’t anything about this that is actually news or noteworthy. A low enrollment club with the goal of making waves isn’t being endorsed by a faculty member that doesn’t want to deal with the headache for a club that’s going to die again in two years.

This is just normal University administration and operation and yet here we are reading an article about it from a major news outlet.

Ah, thanks for the correction I’ll edit the comment. I always think NC for some reason, but both Carolinas are pretty interchangable in my mind.

Huh, that’s somehow way worse. I always was under the impression that it was only Myrtle Beach.

I’ll copy my response to the other person who was also confused by the reference:

In America, there’s a very popular car windshield decal sticker that people put on that says “Salt Life.” It specifically just means someone visited a popular beach vacation spot called Myrtle Beach, SC. The people who put it on tend to being almost exclusively sporty douchebags and suburban moms.

That’s about it.

Edit: changed NC to SC
