Was hoping since Japanese is so popular with nerds that a JP community would be active but that one’s dead too. Basically if it’s not techy it’s probably not gonna be active here on Lemmy.

Disneyland was charging $1850 for five people for one day at Disneyland and one day at California Adventure, genie plus (some kind of fast pass replacement), and then has the gall to make some rides ineligible for the genie plus and instead you have to pay $28 a head for the fast pass. Why can’t we just wait in line? Why did the mouse feel the need to monetize every single interaction in the whole park? As great as the design is in Disneyland, definitely left a sour taste in my mouth knowing that a poor family has an objectively worse experience than a rich one, especially on Christmas. Some rides had a 90, 120 minute wait.

Californian checking in, never have had a white Christmas 👍

I don’t even know what that means… Like you got a sharpie mark on you? Permanent marker on a white board? What scenario is that lol

The problem in the US is that the iPhone has a huge amount of the market and iMessage mostly does that already. For Android to counter that you have to use a 3rd party app, which further fractures an already smaller market. Or everyone could just use sms which is free with basically every plan nowadays, which gets you by.

Always interesting when I hear people’s families use something other than the default in the US. What started that? Were your parents always concerned about privacy? Did you somehow convince them to use that app? What about when they text someone who isn’t on signal, which is probably 90% of the US? I could get my family to download the app but I feel like it’s pointless because no one else uses it so they would just quit.

Well in 5th grade I read Percy Jackson: The Lightning Thief and later on every book after that. And there’s still a part of me that thinks I might be a demigod. So Monday, Wednesday, Friday, it’s the Greeks and Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday it’s the Romans. Sunday is a toss up.

Just cut out reddit unless it’s information you legitimately need to know. Every time you’re mindlessly scrolling on lemmy and not seeing content and thinking to yourself, “I bet reddit would be better right now,” just turn off your phone and read a book. I’ve cut wayyy down on my phone time since I swapped and that can only be a good thing.
