I haven’t gone fishing in a long time but from my experience it’s really peaceful. As another commenter said, kind of like meditation. Also, catching the fish feels really rewarding.

Most people just love the thrill and some crank it to 11. Once we went fishing with my grandfather and his friends, in a regular small boat. With us was a guy they had met there last year, who had bought a pretty expensive boat just for fishing, not to talk about all the other equipment he had.

It’s a passion for a lot of people.

Saw the same thing twice on one of those “advertisements”. I guess it’s probably trolling and mostly lack of moderation

Same. It’s amazing how much time I have when the algorithm isn’t shoving me endless content, trying to keep me engaged.

Nah, it was my teammates’ fault

I still have some cool sticks that I’ve found. I need to get rid of them but I can’t bring myself to throw them out

It’s not we, this guy is the only person posting these political memes here. I hate blocking users but posting multiple memes a day trying to push your agenda is pretty annoying.

Before I used to make a few comments a day, which is a lot for me, but now I find myself commenting less and less. The whole vibe is really different from a month ago. When I joined the fediverse I hoped we could make something better than reddit, and I still do, but there has been a rise in toxicity recently. Arguments are a good thing but most of the time they just result in insults being thrown.

Why shouldn’t people believe in whatever they want. As long as it’s not hurting anybody, there’s no problem.

I don’t understand why some people have such a big hate boner for mocking other people’s beliefs

Everybody knows what a hentai van is

And harassing the mods for closing the subreddit without bothering to learn why it’s even closed. I don’t understand why people think that these unpaid volunteers owe them something.

Oh I never thought of that. I thought it might mean fuck Reddit but I wasn’t sure. Thanks!

I haven’t heard of it but it’s always sad when an instance goes down. The same happened to vlemmy, it just went down without any explanation or warning. Maybe the admin didn’t have the time or resources to keep it running.

Knowledge leaving my body the moment I start an exam

For some reason downvotes from Lemmy don’t transfer over to kbin, but I don’t know how you see +61, for me it’s +35/-2

Phone bad!!! But jokes aside phones are not the problem, the students don’t need a phone to distract themselves from studying. Banning them won’t solve a problem it would just be tach illiterate 60 year old padding themselves on the back for „getting those evil phones out of the classroom”.

Currently playing Horizon: Forbidden West. I love it but it can get somewhat tiring after a while. It’s my third open world game in a row and I definitely feel the need to play something smaller and more focused.
