There’s a period of pre-campaign were they can’t run ads but they start appearing in media more than usual. Everyone knows the parties anyway, and more or less what each stands for.

From I gathered so far, lemmy is still pretty small, so unless you browse all local communities or all the instances it feels pretty limited.

I’m sure it will grow eventually.

I don’t miss anything from reddit, I can still go there if I want. If anything, lemmy still feels underpopulated if I only browse the stuff I’m subscribed to.

I’m allowed to travel?

In Spain the campaign starts 15 days before the election day and ends at the 00 hours of the day before the election. The day before the election is called “reflexion day” and is illegal to run campaign ads or have any event.

Election day is always on a Sunday.

Who is MAU?

Many years ago I realised that any believe system based on fear of something can’t be trusted. If it tries to manipulate you in any way, it’s just that, manipulation. Maybe that was helpful centuries ago among fearful people, I don’t know.

From what was left, all that stuff didn’t really matter, specially if it was true because it is some sort of wait and see and meanwhile it doesn’t affect me.

There was a book I read maybe 25 years ago about this that helped a lot to shape how I see spiritualism. I could try to find it if you’re interested, I don’t think it would be hard to find.

I learned that as the awkward formula.

It will give you an excuse to sit down and do absolutely nothing for 20 minutes for free.

Just try and see for yourself, it’s not some sort of investment so important that you need to do some research first.

I wrote journals for years, they help a little. I used them to vent, to discuss with myself about stuff I couldn’t discuss with someone else, put thoughts in order, practice calligraphy (people now praise my handwriting), etc. I never took it as a chore, so when I didn’t feel like it I didn’t write.

I went to cognitive behavioural therapy and that not only helped the most, it gave me tools to get out of the hole when I fall into it.

Also helped to stop pretending anything on a screen is social interaction. I ditched every social platform except reddit and now lemmy, these two, because I don’t know anyone feel different

Just by knowing how to wash my hands, medicine. Up until 20th century.

If you need to ask that to internet strangers it means that you don’t know your significant other.

I’m completely fine sacrificing resolution. I don’t care about 4k resolutions at all, from where I sit to watch I can barely see the fly poops near the corners of the screen, and those are huge compared to the size of the pixels.

Just look at the subscriber count of those subreddits. Try to moderate that.

I don’t mean the military acronyms, those make the most sense of all.

I mean all the other, you just need to see the reat of the comments, video games, names of celebrities and politicians, others are used as euphemisms. Now you can even read news articles were only use the acronym of whatever without mentioning a single time what that acronym stands for.

SNAFU, how it went from chaotic situation to make a blunder?

Also, why are Americans so obsessed with acronyms?

The movie I had on tape when I was a kid and I watched over and over again is Young Frankenstein.

Every time I have hiccups I stop it immediately by changing the rhythm of my breathing and making sure I breath using my diaphragm.

You should ask someone that knows you both. Asking internet strangers is like asking to a magic 8 ball.

There’s no walmart in my country so I wouldn’t know, but probably yes, it is hard for me to imagine anything worse than amazon.
