Even when you're living the fairy tale, it's okay to be nervous when you meet your in-laws for the first time, but give them a little credit for being understanding. The princess you married might well be the daughter of a princess who kissed a frog to live happily ever after, so the bride's parents are definitely more inclined to accept diversity, even for an ogre.
Kinda reminds me of Connecticut. Once you get a short distance north of New Haven, virtually every major byway converges upon Hartford. This way you never get lost, you see - as long as you are headed in the right general direction, pretty soon you will be in Hartford.
@Tom Grzybow Considering that "Yarrow" is also a surname--particularly of a famous singer whose first name is Peter--the odds of that happening are considerably lessened...but they're not zero.
Dr. Smolder Gravestone, now that you have graduated with your PhD, your mission now is to find the SOB who converted a mechanical board game to a video game and terminate that bastard. #Jumanji
More Americans have a positive image of progressive Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a New York Democrat, than they do of President Donald Trump and former Vice President Kamala Harris, according to new polling data. Why It Matters Ocasio-Cortez has been seen as a polarizing figure in politics and within the Democratic Party. She has drawn backlash from moderate Democrats and Republicans alike since she surged onto the national stage after an upset primary victory against a powerful incumbent Democrat in 2018. The New York progressive has embraced the Democratic socialist label, despite pushback from within her own party. Recently, she has traveled around the country holding massive rallies with progressive Senator Bernie Sanders, a Vermont independent, with the duo turning out thousands—including in conservative districts and states. newsweek.com/aoc-viewed-positi…
Hells bells, but we've been enjoying those for the past 3 weeks and they're still coming in! If you put them in the fridge and wait 2 or so days, they get even sweeter! Fridge is required because they'd get moldy otherwise.
Extremely late night notice for Central Time US, but I just viewed a latter day "Dragnet" episode on the TV where Harry Morgan's character, Bill Gannon, provided a bit of comic relief--he presented a sandwich with a lot of ingredients in it, whereupon Friday commented that it sounded like a 7 course meal. Then I used #Google to list those ingredients to check against a list I scribbled on a scrap of paper.
And Google's #AI fucked up even that simple task. It inserted the word "mayo" when the script called for "horseradish". Gemini hasn't learned that horseradish sauce, although it contains mayo, is NOT mayo.
It's still an awesome Gannon-style Dagwood, though: corned beef, imported Swiss cheese, lettuce, russian dressing, slaw, kosher pickle, tomato, HORSERADISH, and peanut butter. I'm sure Arby's Horsey Sauce is a good substitute, but do NOT use mayo. #recipe #sandwich
Ruby Roundhouse had The Jewel and was betting on getting snake-bit to get a new life but instead of dropping down on the statue's head she found herself in the same snake pit she tried to get out of, thus still having to take the long way up. #Jumanji #KarenGillan #AmyPond
Elliot was introduced to Stitch's family whereupon he and ET could hitch a ride and ET managed to get back home while taking a side trip to Ork to say hello to Orson.
Once they discovered that they worked well together and were smarter than their average species members, they decided that they themselves were the team of superheroes that could save the world, but they didn't need any Fortress of Solitude. #Flow
Well that was an eye-opener. Theoretically, Friendica federates with Diaspora but when I shared a Diaspora post on My Portal, it did NOT show up in the Rogue's Project feed and they're both Friendica. It was a post by Kuram Wadee which boosted Dianea's Diaspora post, which contained this image:
There are many metrics used in propagation. Yes, if you are friends with your account on My Portal then it should have showed up here. Though 100% of your friends posts do not always show up when activity between the users is low. That is an intentional feature of Friendica. It will share more and more of a user that you interact with frequently and less of those that you have little communication with.
Though keep in mind if you want to guarantee that posts you make on My Portal get to your Rogue Project account you can go to your contacts on Rogue Project and identify the remote user as yourself (This is a feature I have turned on that other Friendica Instances may not have on). Then anything you post on My portal will mirror here. Now, how well that will propagate what gets to your My Portal account from Diaspora is up for grabs.
You could comment on your posts back and forth from either account to increase the propagation between the two users as well.
It always amazes me when I watch people vehemently oppose a post they disagree with. Even when they do not know the poster or anyone on the post. I do not think they truly understand what they are doing. They are making that post they disagree with more popular and ensuring (or at least contributing to the assurance) that it will have a wider propagation across the Fedi.
Priority of what gets most rapidly spread across the Fedi is governed by several metrics and it is not standardized between the different Instance types either. Though one critical metric will always speed a post across the Fedi and that is reactions. The more reactions a post has the quicker it will propagate. It does not matter if that is positive or negative reactions. It only matters that post got attention. Make no mistake, a comment is considered a reaction. Even if you do not click a Thumbs up or Thumbs down you are reacting by commenting.
So if you are tired of seeing posts you find ridiculous maybe you should start ignoring them instead of boosting them by reacting to them.
I have began deleting accounts that have had no activity for 3 month. In some cases less if it appears the account was established for the purpose of spamming (marketing) the Instance. I have set a cap to the max users before registration closes. To be sure that the Instance stays viable within my budget. As I have stated before if the Instance appears to be able to handle more users than the current cap I will raise the ceiling.
I do not expect that a user has to post everyday or even weekly to be considered active. Though I have to draw the limit somewhere. I decided that a quarter of a year of inactivity was a pretty fair limit. If you are going to be offline for an extended period of time and not sure that you will be able to login then let me know and I will make sure to preserve your account.
