Tried sun haven with my wife a couple of years ago and we dropped it almost instantly. We just came back to it and were really surprised at how good it is now. Worth a go if you enjoyed stardew!

I rarely see leeks, and when I do, they’re extremely expensive. Such a versatile vegetable that I wish more Americans knew about!

Banana milk! 1 ripe banana, 1/2 cup milk, 1/2 cup water, 1 tbsp maple syrup, a few drops of vanilla extract, blend and pour through a sieve over ice. So refreshing and very cheap.

For me it is a lie, I do care about politics, but I don’t discuss it with friends or family. Feigning ignorance is the easiest way out. I’ve been the third wheel in a 'discussion' where two people argue politics and it's not a nice position.

Please don’t, there are enough paranoid nutjobs on Lemmy as it is

I think this comment sums up why a lot of studios don’t avoid spoiling major plot points in trailers. It’s very easy to advertise a movie as something it isn’t (or just the opening third), and miss the core audience that will actually leave good reviews on it, convincing others to go.

A movie that did a great job of getting across what it was in the trailer, but still throwing a massive curveball, was Barbarian, which I really appreciate it for. Almost every plot point was subversive, though partially because it was such a strange film.

I got ‘hired’ on at my current job as a non-employee temp worker with no health insurance or sick days, as it was the only kind of role I could get remotely related to my field since I was a fresh immigrant here in the US. My boss fought tooth and nail for me to get hired full-time with a 30% raise and our amazing health benefits. Now just 6 months later, she’s petitioning her boss to give me a promotion when I feel like I just got here, and would have happily spent the next year or two learning before trying to move around. I owe a lot to her for giving me a chance when nowhere else would.

I use 1040.com which lets me file federal and state for free and have had 0 problems with it. Highly recommend

I used to use mine to control a smart bulb in every room I had an Echo, but the experience has become so dire to the point that I now only use it for the one room where the light switch is in an awkward place to where I enter, and even then I find myself getting extremely frustrated with it. I would rather check the weather on my phone or control my AC through physical buttons than try to instruct something that seems to get worse at understanding me the more I use it.

The idea of paying for any Alexa service is baffling to me. I can barely trust it to flip a switch without mishearing me, trying to sell me something, or dropping a “by the way…”
