After taking a look at that community, not quite since it's not strictly limited to the science fiction genre. Asksciencefiction is kind of a weird amalgam of subreddits which makes it hard to categorize. Think about the format of the Q&A sub /r/askscience and then tack on /r/fiction. It was more of a roleplaying subreddit than anything. Sometimes there'd be serious discussions, but the best replies were always from people who were roleplaying as people living in the fictional universe.

I tried to make /r/asksciencefiction around the time of the API exodus from reddit. It got a bunch of initial traffic and even got the attention of the mods of the actual subreddit but ultimately I guess they decided to stay on reddit rather than encourage people to go to Lemmy. Anyway, the traffic has slowed to basically nothing and I've kind of lost interest in moderating it, not that it really needs it anyway since the community is like 20 users per month.

Just subbed, I love a good cocktail. Second that it would be good to have a version of /r/normalnudes on Lemmy.

Any idiot with a pair of pliers can take the flow regulator out of a consumer-grade shower head that you can buy off the shelf at any hardware store in the country and get as much water pressure as your pipes are capable of pumping into it.

Here's hoping we all still have enough money to buy shower heads in the new Trump economy so we can enjoy the fruits of his labor. Who needs prosperity and economic stability when you have a roaring torrent of water to take a depression shower like a real American patriot?

How long until the market simply becomes immune to the back-and-forth tariff nonsense? I feel like at this point Trump is just a fucking moron and people are having to seize the wheel from him to prevent total collapse of the system. He hikes the tariffs up, then pauses them hours after they go into effect. The inherently contradictory goal of wanting to bring American manufacturing back to America while simultaneously using tariffs as a negotiating tool makes no fucking sense no matter how you try to explain it.

Is this all just trying to control the narrative that the economy is crashing as a direct result of his economic plan?

Carter haters, where ya at? You shat on my boy until the day he died for a much more eloquently delivered request for austerity in the face of economic hardships. Surely this will turn you against Trump forevermore, right?

There won't be an election for the third term. He doesn't need any of us now.

Can't do that. That'd be socialism.

Trump Media and the Trumpcoin crypto scam have, sadly, probably put his net worth back up high enough for him to actually be able to truthfully call himself a billionaire again. He just doesn't pay his court judgements because what are they gonna do about it if he doesn't? Take him to court again? His whole strategy is to make plaintiffs go broke trying to collect from him, which is why he has it out for all the law firms working pro bono against him right now.

US dollar in absolute freefall. Thursday is going to be a bloodbath when the market opens.
