Sadly I do not :(

I'm probably misremembering, but I swear our phonebook was at least 5 inches thick. We used collect the neighbors because they didn't want them, and then me and my friends would stack them in the club house we chairs.
Mind if I DM?
I'm not the most familiar with the story, so many I'm remembering wrong. But I googled it to make sure before I posted that.
It's honestly so freaking good. I really wish they'd make another season, but I don't see it happening now that they've done Echos (which I haven't seen yet, no spoilers!). My only complaint is the first season doesn't have Felix's voice actor, but season 2 does, and it's fantastic.
Hey, fellow Tennesseean anarchist. I lived in Erwin for a while, as well as Kingsport. Closer to Knoxville now. Are you still local?
Unicoi county went for Bernie in the 2016 primaries. It's a very small town that has gone through a lot of shit trying to claw it's way out of horrendously bad politics in the 80s and prior. Bumpass cove, where I'm sure some of worst damage was, was the site of nuclear waste dumping, and has been the nucleus of a major swing to the left for a lot of people in the area. Right down the road is Johnson City, a very progressive college town. Dumping on the victims of a disaster because their neighbors, or even they, have shitty politics is a shitty thing to do. Maybe those school kids deserve to get shot because their grandpappy is a Republican? Yes, moments like this should be catalysts for change, but victim blaming isn't the route to take to that.
There's a podcast sequel to Orphan Black that uses the plot from your last point, and it is excellent
I feel like I'm about as computer savvy as most gen z. Born in 91, but we was poor, so it was the family dell (that I wasn't allowed to do much with*) until 2008, got my first laptop in 2009**, it broke almost immediately because poor and cheap, and then got my first smart phone (T-Mobile G1) in 2010, and basically didn't touch a laptop again until I started school 2020. I basically started over from scratch at that point, but now I run fedora full time and made myself learn some basic stuff, but I would consider myself pretty tech illiterate.
*Because my brother was caught looking at porn, so computer time was severely cut back. Then I was caught sending sexy messages to someone. And then the final nail in the coffin was when I tried to dual boot it with some Linux distro, I don't remember, borked it, and we had to wipe the hard drive
**Technically I had a netbook before this, in like 07/08, that I used Wubi to install Ubuntu on, and I loved that. But never got more than browser level into it.
That's what my Dom calls it, too
That's really cool. I love the idea of Lemmy instances being their own specific cultures, and the idea of an industry/field specific instance is honestly one of the coolest aspects of Lemmy. I'd love to see, like, artist based instances really take off, for example, or even like an instance specifically for fast food workers. Might help get some kind of union action going eventually if it really took off
