I see you’ve got it! Here’s a guide to kbin if you need

Watched a few episodes of Criminal Minds and The Blacklist. They’re great for sure, but they are episodic. I’m in the mood for a serialized show.

Will check out Bones tonight.

Love it

Looks perfect. Will ask on lemmy as well. Thanks

Love Kibby and Koobin

Yup, boost and upvote if you want to give a bigger push to a post towards the top. Remember boosts are like retweets - they’re public and will show up on your profile in the boosts section.

While I understand the fediverse may pose a learning curve, please note it does not refer to a forum, which is why there are introduction pages. As for Reddit being straight forward, it’s been developing for about 18 years now. Kbin in comparison is about two months into development.

An excerpt:

> > > Methane gas absorbs almost all the sunlight falling on the atmosphere at this picture’s specific infrared wavelength (3.23 microns). As a result, Saturn’s familiar striped patterns aren’t visible because the methane-rich upper atmosphere blocks our view of the primary clouds. Instead, Saturn’s disk appears dark, and we see features associated with high-altitude stratospheric aerosols, including large, dark, and diffuse structures in Saturn’s northern hemisphere that don’t align with the planet’s lines of latitude. Unlike Saturn’s atmosphere, its rings lack methane, so at this infrared wavelength, they are no darker than usual and thus easily outshine the darkened planet. > >

Upvotes don’t affect reputation (yet) so I feel there is no foul in self-upvoting. It just slightly improves visibility of the content in the ‘hot’ section when freshly posted.

Google Search has been accusing me of being a robot a lot lately, making me solve a bajillion captchas. So I’ve stopped using search engines entirely. I’ve bookmarked a lot of the sites I regularly visit and have realized I don’t really need Google, apart from for getting the correct links to said websites because I can’t remember their .orgs and .coms.

I think reading up on this has made me more appreciate the profoundness of that Arthur C. Clarke quote

Two possibilities exist: either we are alone in the Universe or we are not. Both are equally terrifying

The possibility of being alone is not just terrifying in and of itself. Its horror is also in mulling over why we might be alone.

The second case is infuriating.

Mendonça was 11 years old

A prostitute, Alcina Dias, confirmed that [Afonso Dias] had taken Mendonça to see her on the day he disappeared. [Afonso Dias] allegedly drove up to see her in his car and asked her if she was working. When she assented, he offered to pay her to have sex with Mendonça.

and later

police forces raided alleged members of an international child pornography ring known as the Wonderland Club. The operation was code-named Operation Cathedral and resulted in the confiscation of 750,000 images and videos depicting 1,263 different children. Mendonça was among the few children (16 only) that could be identified. However, his whereabouts remain unknown and police suspect that he was murdered by his abductors after being abused on camera for other members of the paedophile ring.

Top it off with the fact that the police refused to take his disappearance seriously initially and just assumed he was lost or injured and would eventually turn up.

Fucked up.

It’s the same as Lemmy just replace c/ with m/ in the links for kbin instances

lemmy.sdf.org/c/main@rblind.com
kbin.social/m/main@rblind.com

Link from kbin: kbin.social/m/main@rblind.com

kbin prefixes communities (magazines) with m/ instead of c/

After you’ve seen the post, go back to lemmy.world and click on the comments rather than the post’s title. Similar to what you would do if lemmy.world redirected you to some other website instead of kbin.
