Any misskey instance you'd recommend?

The artificial lavender smell they put on those scented trash bags gives me migraines :/

Or it'll be cancelled and never see the light of day, just like that other Sims-like from Paradox.

Checking our local House elections this morning and seeing quite a bit of red. Stein is going to have a rough time like Cooper did, trying to get anything done. Luckily it looks like Dems are winning Attorney General and Lt. Governor (the position Robinson was).

Fellow NC friend! Greetings from Greensboro!

Is there any country culture, like *yeehaw* country, you truly enjoy? in c/[email protected]

Probably the food. Fried chicken, biscuits and gravy, sweet tea. Hoo boy.

Rock was a favorite of mine. The nude beach episode really stuck out to me.

And his dog's name was Spunky, ffs.

Just migrate to World or Lemm.ee. Sorry people suck.

It's the spooky season, what are your recommended movies (and other media) for the season that aren't gory horror or kids movies? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

The Night House is a really good horror/thriller, I don't recall it having any gore.

The Menu is phenomenal, but does have a bit of blood and gore.

I don't think I saw anyone mention Get Out, a fantastic movie.

I'm not a big movie guy, but these were some of my faves (along with Evil Dead, which have been mentioned a ton already 🙂)

You are given an opportunity to hard reset our universe (particularly, the Earth). You are also allowed to change one rule about the new universe. What rule would you change? (lemm.ee)
 

The rule could be anything, as funny or as serious as you want. The universe will progress in a similar way that it has up until this point, unless your changed rule prevented it from doing so.

Some examples might be:

  • The invention of currency is not allowed.
  • Iron is slightly less stable.
  • The Ancient Greeks are able to cultivate Silphium, which does not go extinct now.

Those who don't identify as a fella also welcome to answer!

I'm getting tired of my wallet and I'm hoping to get some new ideas. Current EDC is my phone, wallet, and keys on a lanyard. Whatchu got?

Edit: I ought to be a little more specific with my EDC, since most people are kindly taking the time to do so.

Phone: Pixel 8 Pro Wallet: bulky leather wallet, I don't even remember the brand, I've had it so long. Keys: a stylized lanyard with various house keys, car key fob, and a keychain that reads "I hope your day is as good as my butt" from my wife. I have to keep that, you understand.

Misc: Burt's Bees chapstick, Listerine breath strips, and occasionally a utility knife depending on my destination.

Spectrum Call Center in Charlotte, NC Reportedly Provided Fried Chicken and Watermelon to Employees for Juneteenth (thencbeat.com)
 

“We want to acknowledge some feedback received regarding our Juneteenth celebration,” Pezzuto said in his letter obtained by The North Carolina Beat. “Although our intent was to celebrate this nationally recognized day, some of you voiced your concerns regarding the associated food choices.”

In other words, we're sorry you were offended.

More and more lately, I see more large companies in hot water for another significant data breach (Dropbox, AT&T). Will this become the norm? (lemm.ee)
 

More specifically, are we seeing companies breached due to their (obvious?) security flaws, hackers getting better at what they do, or a combination of both?

What is the future of security for these large companies that we put our trust into that our data is safe?
