My mom will be 89 in a couple of months and it’s so hard to watch her get so frail when her mind is still so sharp. I recently started recording her stories, like how she became a Univac programmer in the 60’s. I cherish every minute because I hear the clock ticking and it’s SO loud and never goes away. I’m going to miss my mom so much. It’s like my heart’s already breaking under the weight of losing her.
I’m a mom whose kids are all grown, and I still feel it to this day. 😂
If anything, they’ll blame it on the launch of Threads and not their own bad decisions.
One of my formative memories as a young girl. I can never not think of this scene when I see baked beans!
There’s a short story by Ray Bradbury about an automated house that survives a nuclear blast. The shadows of the children throwing a ball are on the house outside, and inside the robots continue to service a family that’s no longer there. That’s what it reminds me of.

It’s mind-boggling. It’s like a trend with some of the billionaires right now, some are imploding in submarines and some of them are doing it on land.
It was great for following breaking news and not much else.
I might be enjoying all of this a little too much.
The outside? But it burns… 😫
AlienBlue still works 😂 You can download it from your purchase history in the App store, you just can’t log in.
Your post is #2 (ha ha!) on /all for me so…
Would we really put that past Spez? No, no we wouldn’t.
My account was suspended 3 times for “vote manipulation” because my partner, my daughter, and I were all on the same sub for our city and they’d upvote my comments sometimes without noticing it was me. It was never their accounts, always mine, and trying to contact reddit was useless. They had to basically stop upvoting anything in that sub because if they did, I might get suspended again or even banned.
How it can be 2023 and reddit can’t figure out that people live together is beyond me.
There’s a subject I follow in a sub on reddit and there’s no equivalent community here on Lemmy, but no way am I going to start it because I don’t want to moderate it. :/

I got suspended multiple times because my partner and daughter were also in our city’s sub, and sometimes one of them would upvote my comments without realizing it was me. It got really fucking annoying, and of course there’s no way to talk to a real person at reddit to prove we’re different people. I’d appeal every time and they’d deny it every time. How reddit could have gotten so huge without realizing that multiple people can live in the same household is beyond me. In the end they both just stopped upvoting anything in the sub because it was too risky (for me).
