Baking. Sudoku. Embroidery. A good night’s sleep.

Mayonaise + Sambal Bajak = spicy mayo with amazing depth. If you’re feeling fancy frate in half a clove of garlic.

Don’t sub Sambal Bajak for Sambal Oelek. It is NOT the same thing.

I thought French toast was “pain perdu”. Is it “croque-monsieur” now?

How soon after this lunch did you feel hunger again?

From Mom: “You don’t deserve any praise for your good grades. You already speak the languages in those classes so it’s expected you do well.”

From Dad: “Why did you only get 99%?”

Context: I grew up in a household where we spoke many languages. In highschool I had an easy time getting good grades in all the foreign language lessons but struggled with Maths or Science classes. The parents couldn’t fathom I could have a failing grade because I didn’t need to study for some classes (which should have given me more time to study for other classes, amarit?).

My Introduction into the Bossa Nova Musical genre.

One week.

Was asked to be the community manager of an online casino. I couldn’t deal with the morality of trying to encourage people to keep gambling away money they didn’t have.

Boardgames tonight at my sister’s house. Mom’s visiting my house tomorrow evening to see our newly finished kitchen. We’re having Indian food. Excellent stuff happening.

Missed opportunity to have the dancers have alternating skin colour and add some interesting patterns to the dance.

You may not like my answer but here goes: Time will tell.

Those who have jumped ship indefinitely will build a community here in the Fediverse. Those who miss Reddit too much will return there and use the official app.

By staying you are building something new. It may not be Reddit, and it may never be Reddit. But there are still millions of users who are here to stay and will become a community.

I hope it will not become a “they” vs “us” thing. Both platforms can exist peacefully, the same way Facebook and Twitter coexist.

Perhaps a difference in content style or format will appear in time, which will make people choose one platform over the other. But that’s not bad. Competition is healthy.

I’m staying, and I’m curious to see where Lemmy is going. All I can do is contribute to making it a place I want to hang out in.
