The issue I have in the US is that, in Minnesota at least, the only reason to move into a crosswalk is to turn right on red however you’re supposed to stop at the crosswalk before proceeding across it and almost nobody does.

Edit: Also, happy cake day!

That’s the road trip film he did right? I think I have it, just haven’t watched it yet.

Coming everyday to sit with me in the hospital for a month; from the ICU all the way to the general ward until he walked out the front door with me.

I always knew my dad loved me but he wasn’t great at expressing it, but it was never more apparent than during that time.

They can be used interchangeably typically but anytime in this usage is grammatically correct. Any time usually would be preceded by a preposition like, “at any time” and is a noun. Anytime is an adverb.

I get this. I was listening to a podcast, Conan O’Brien’s I think, where Will Ferrell came up and they were talking about how he’s typically a pretty straightforward and serious kind of person off camera.

He turns it on for the camera but it’s not who he is in real life. There’s nothing wrong with it per se but it made him seem a lot more disingenuous to me.

I like this one. It’s similar to what I’d pick from English which is amble.

It means to walk at a slow, relaxed pace, often in a leisurely way.

No. Spending time around people different from myself offers me different perspectives, interesting conversations etc.

Hanging out with someone exactly the same would be like living in an echo chamber with a yes man.

I see what you mean on the growing healthy communities bit.

That plus private votes, nah, I’m good.

I don’t remember why I blocked .ml because it was a long time ago but I’d guess I got tired of the users and many of the communities bleeding tankies into the rest of Lemmy.

I’ve heard that blahaj has changed a lot too but I haven’t really noticed it not being in my feed so I haven’t bothered to check.

Most of them I don’t know why. I just came back to this account because of lemm.ee.
