Would it be weird if I took something my neighbor put out for trash? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

I happily took an awesome nursing chair from my next door neighbour's curbside...the only awkward part will be putting it to the curb myself one day in the very near future 😂

As a nurse for many years I still don't get how Heroin addicts or any other street injectable can be done by first time users? Hell there has been a couple time where a vein moves or it blown. in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Oh wow, that was quick! Yeah I couldn't believe it when I heard he passed away...even after all of that, it was such a shock. Glad you enjoyed it!

No personal experience here at all, but to anyone who finds this fascinating/crazy, I absolutely recommend a read of "Sing Backwards & Weep" by Mark Lanegan. It's a personal account of his struggles as an addict while being the lead singer of "Screaming Trees" during the late 80s - 90s "grunge" era. He doesn't hold back at all. Couldn't put it down.

Totally agree with this. That being said, it also seems a bit hypocritical...

Is linux actually gaming ready or is it just not for me? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

Ahh gotcha. The Anno series is great (same with Linux!) so keep at it - best of luck!

Have you enabled Steam Play in the game options? Might be an easy step to miss/forget. Usually if a game won't run for me it ends up being something simple like that!

What instances do you block and/or contain the most trolls? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

[–] Artemis@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 months ago

That's probably it - I've only browsed All once or twice when I've run out of new Subscribed posts...I must be missing the drama from other random communities.

Makes sense - appreciate the response! Regarding your last point, one look at my comment history shows I'm clearly not a troll, but totally get it...I just keep seeing all these posts/comments hating on .ml and having not seen anything myself, it makes me wonder if I'm missing something or if I should think about even switching instances...

Can someone please explain all the .ml hate? From what I've seen, it's mostly a tech (i.e., not tank!) instance and I haven't experienced any drama at all aside from other instances hating on us. It seems WAY too overblown and generalized from my experience. If the OP blocked .ml are they even able to see my response here?

Tom from MySpace really is the nicest guy on this list...he was my first friend on there! 😎

This girl is also temporarily homeless, which is why she was so tired. Adds a whole extra level to this...
