Lemmy users, are your parents bad at cooking

    My mother was awesome at cooking but I never helped or watched her & now I can confidently say I am a better cook than she is.

    But you still had to pay for the tech installed in the toothbrush.

    Try finding a good brush that doesn't have this tech installed :/

    I'd highly recommend the book 'How Westminster Works . . . and Why It Doesn't'

    https://amzn.eu/d/2VARqxv

    It's an eye opening read.

    Should any EU citizens read it they have every right to take the piss out of us because frankly we are fucking stupid regardless of which political party you might follow.

    @ianovic69 @mannycalavera

    Really not surprising at all tbh.

    I am currently reading 'How Westminster Works' & it's nothing short of eye opening of the ineptness of all the politicians and the current system.

    I highly recommend it.

    If you get the opportunity I would recommend reading ‘Climate’ by Greta Thunberg. She has managed to collate a fucking great bunch of the worlds top climate scientists in their given fields. It’s pretty eye opening and shocking.

  • Are you holding off on any game in particular right now?
  • PragmaticOne PragmaticOne 1y ago 100%

    @ICastFist @glau

    I never buy any games now until they're under a tenner.

    The irony of that is I will willing spend £30-60 on #TTRPG books instead :D

    I’d recommend you read ‘Weapons of Math Destruction’.

    Algorithms are usually developed with the best of intentions but no one really knows how they will behave out in the wild.

  • If this works I should post to the feddit.uk lemmy community from mastodon [@unitedkingdom](https://feddit.uk/c/unitedkingdom)

    @doublejay3000 @TedWard

    I'm predominately a Mastodon user and I create lists.

    So for example I have a list for 'unitedkingdom@feddit.uk' and when new stuff gets published to that community it populates my list :)

    Yes but you can use Mastodon to read Lemmy.

    As I have been doing. So as a Lemmy user you should include Hashtags to make it easier for Mastodon users to find and reply to your posts. :)

    As someone who has been using the Fediverse almost since it's inception it will take time for a community to grow.

    Teach others, sell it to them, evangelise if necessary because as with any community it's the people that make it.

    The more people the bigger it becomes.

    And don't forget your hashtags. It's how you get seen and found :)
