  • Never said it didn’t, but reddit is more left leaning than right as a whole.

    Lemmy is just straight lefty though. I’m a liberal person so it doesn’t bother me other than it just being a massive circle jerk most of the time.

    Look I understood that when I made that comment no one would like it, but it’s just the truth…

    I’ve been here since the API garbage from reddit, and use it daily so I feel like I can make an honest assessment of my experience thus far.

    I like it, its great. Better than reddit in a lot of ways. If someone is/was a heavy Reddit user I recommend it.


  • Welcome to Lemmy! If you thought Reddit was left leaning, you’re in for a wild ride!

    Also if you’re an American you probably shouldn’t be, because they automatically assume you’re from the Bible belt. They will simultaneously say they don’t care for American politics but then will always be talking about it.

    Linux is the best OS just don’t get into it. You better be using firefox. All the niche subs you had on Reddit aren’t here, and you’ll more likely just be blocking communities instead of subbing to anything.

    And no one reads the articles, way more than reddit imo

    The comments are slightly more interesting though.

    It’s not all that bad though, I’m being a little sarcastic, but only a little…



  • Whenever I see something like this I feel I must defend my friend who’s a cop.

    Before being a cop he was a lifeguard at a beach and my bassist.

    Baywatch may tell you differently, but being a lifeguard is a seasonal job, and not a career. The next level of being a lifeguard is becoming a cop, so he did, and he has only beaten one black man so far.



  • It’s usually less that that too. Typically if you show you have got your license within the time of getting the ticket they let you go. If he just showed up and said he has an appointment or was going to make one, the judge would’ve made another date so that he could prove he got his license. Then no fine or jail.

    Happened to me. I was pulled over without a license. Immediately went and got my license. They made a date but the mailing address they sent to I wasn’t there. Being dumb I thought meant it was handled.

    Lo and behold like 10 years later, when I’m getting hired for my current job they say I have a bench warrant. I went down to the courthouse the next day, the judge gave me a real weird look since it’s been like 10 years, and said " do you have your license " I showed it to him, and then let me go.



  • I have wet as well. And you shouldn’t.

    You might be getting some, but you are pushing the majority back into your ear. It’s probably why you feel like you must keep cleaning them, because it’s never actually getting out. Eventually you’ll get a clogged ear, and if you haven’t experienced that yet, it fuckin sucks.

    Your ear will naturally push the earwax out. Think of your ear as a conveyor belt. When new skin is made it pushes the earwax down the ear canals.

    Best thing to do is wash and clean the outside of your ears well everyday. You can use a Q-tip for that. Listen to music at a reasonable level, wear ear protection at concerts, and try to give your ears a break from headphones and earphones periodically.

    If it’s really bothering you, get some hydrogen peroxide or ear wax remover and put it in your ear for like 10 minutes. Then use a hand bulb with warm water. Don’t do this all the time though.
