    How many of you use Lemmy and ONLY use Lemmy vs Reddit?

    Jump

  • Thanks for the reminder to go delete my old comments and posts. Reddit is dead to me. I stopped using it two years ago. I'll occasionally go there if there's a legit looking search result for what I'm looking for, but I don't bother logging in or interacting with the platform. Reddit is blocked by my work, which is typically what I'm searching for from there so it's useless anyways.

  • Mass Effect: Andromeda - I knew 1 & 2 were held in high regard, but I hadn't played them. Actually, I'd played about 10 minutes of one of them a couple years before and it just wasn't what I was in the mood for at that time. So, I went into Andromeda without any expectations really and thought it was a perfectly fine game.

  • My kids would get a "Get out of jail free" card for tossing that into the trash in their classroom.

  • Strava Alternative?

    Jump

  • Days late to this thread but another vote for RideWithGPS. I paid ~$50/yr to access the lowest tier of paid features (can't remember what all is/isn't included with that but their site should have a breakdown - I feel like I needed it for an organized event I was riding in). I have mine integrated with Strava (free version) so my rides and segments are still tracked there too.

  • Bike Helmets: Stupid Hat or Essential Protection?

    Jump

  • Grew up riding mountain bikes, skateboards (street) and snowboards 25+ years ago. I laughed at the snowboarders wearing helmets and told friends who were getting into the sport not to bother with them. Got married and my wife made me get a helmet (lame, but whatever), then I had some kids.

    8 years ago, I crashed snowboarding on an easy green run when going in for lunch. I was with a friend (rare for me as I usually went alone) and was taking it easy on an otherwise chill day. I ended up with two broken vertebrae, a tibial plateau fracture, a broken shoulder, and a concussion - i have no recollection of the accident, going down the hill in a sled on a backboard with patrol, taking an hours-long ambulance ride from the mountains, or any of my time in the ER - I apparently just kept repeating the same couple of lines to anyone I talked to, including my wife.

    I got back into biking a couple years ago and am now riding more than I ever did growing up - I avoid cars/paved roads and mostly ride gravel, single track, and multi-use paths now. I wear a helmet every time i go out. I went over the handlebars a week and a half ago while riding alone. I didn't hit my head - just a hard landing, some scrapes and a bruised ego - but just another reminder how quickly things can go bad and how little control over the situation you have when it does.

    A sweaty head and some random person thinking i don't look cool aren't really big concerns of mine (i also don't think I look very cool so I guess that makes two of us).

    Thanks for the reminder to look for the good. I often feel like there should be so much more, but I know that's more than some people have, so I should feel lucky.

    You have no idea the economic toll that three rounds of tariffs have on a country.

  • Elon Musk says he's shocked at the level of Tesla hate and vandalism happening: 'I've never done anything harmful'

  • Yeah, it's a conspiracy fuck-face. It's not like people are openly saying you suck, you're a leech, we're going to boycott the companies you're involved with and you're not wanted here. It's all a secret conspiracy. Pay no attention to the signs at very public protests.

  • Enjoy counting how many times I tell it it's a piece of shit on a daily basis. Half the time it doesn't play anything remotely close to the artist/album I request when listening to music. Other times it just flat out doesn't work. We got a few years ago when they were discounted around holidays - don't think we'll be buying any more.
