That person is one of the few usernames I consistently recognize here on lemmy as well, consistently has high quality comments and great arguments. Definitely a great person to have here on lemmy, thanks Flyingsquid!

He puts in 15 hours a day but I'm sure he's paid well.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. Well worth your time.

Foreign karma pressure farm. ...run by both Biden and Trump. It's all the same bed that's slept in.

I dig the healthy discussion and desire to actually have conversations.

[–] JDubbleu@programming.dev 35 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (2 children)

100%. This isn't a dig at all. I just noticed how often I've seen their comments and now I can't not notice it.

[–] hypnotoad__@lemmy.ml 11 points 10 months ago

Hah I feel ya!

Sorry. I'm just trying to do something with my time until I go to the Mayo Clinic on the 15th. I can leave though. Some people here seem to want me to...

Edit: Or maybe not the 15th. They lost my appointment. Rescheduled for March 28th. Meanwhile, I'm looking elsewhere.

[–] bunnykei@lemmy.world 20 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Nah thanks for the content, and hope all goes well at the clinic! Keep posting if it helps you

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 23 points 10 months ago (3 children)

It does help me. I won't go into my sad life, but Lemmy makes it better. Thanks!

[–] testeronious@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

thanks for contributing to lemmy, but if bettering your life means that you'll post less, by all means do that :)

[–] sweetmartabak@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Do what makes you happy, my dude/dudette. And good luck with the clinic visit!

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

Thanks!

[–] SuddenDownpour@sh.itjust.works 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

For whatever it's worth, I like to see you posting.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Thanks!

[–] JDubbleu@programming.dev 13 points 10 months ago (1 children)

From what I've seen one dude is salty and everyone else (including myself) is happy to have your contributions! I don't necessarily agree with you on everything you post, but you're respectful and actually back up what you say. I respect that a hell of a lot more than someone who I'm in complete agreement with, but plugs their ears at the first sign of pushback.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 12 points 10 months ago

Thanks. I hate the Reddit squabbling. I wish people could disagree without insults and I won't take part in it. I also think people should back up their claims. I don't expect everyone to feel the same way I do, I just wish so many people didn't.

[–] aodhsishaj@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Your content is much appreciated. Fuck the haters.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Thanks!

[–] rainerloeten@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Who does? And why? Lemmy needs content, why wouldn't one appreciate your posts? ^^

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago (2 children)

You'd have to ask them. I'm definitely not universally loved or anything, but I'm grateful for the appreciation I get.

[–] rainerloeten@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

If you have no haters, you're doing something wrong ;) (Ve)

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Probably true!

[–] daFRAKKINpope@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

No one is universally loved. Everyone brave enough to put themselves out there will have people push back and talk trash. If doing what you do brings you some joy, do your best to ignore them and push on.

[–] rosymind@leminal.space 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I'm actually worried about you, and your dry-heaving. Lemmy wouldn't be the same without you so don't die

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I appreciate it, but I don't think I'm dying quite yet. And it's definitely not cancer or anything like that. Honestly, despite all that, I feel fine most of the time. Which is part of what makes it so weird.

[–] rosymind@leminal.space 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Random question, but do hot showers help? I noticed a while back that you mentioned weed on some comment or other. I once lived with this family who had a woman in her late 50's who was a chronic (and I mean CHRONIC) user. She was struggling with nausea that was only alieviated by hot showers (idk why she told me this we weren't close). Turns out there's a condition:

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago (2 children)

I'm afraid there's nothing for them to help with. Hyperemesis is extremely unlikely. I don't vomit, I dry heave. And usually only once a day, soon after I get up. And hyperemesis also involves nausea, which I don't have.

Beg pardon?

My first day on Lemmy I saw them multiple times and thought it was a coincidence

It's been months now and I realize I'll see that name until the end of time.

I love you both🥰

[–] SendMePhotos@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I've seen so many creative names here, I love it. Flying squid?! Picard maneuver?! What else is there?!

There’s also the cheese_greater guy who always posts on asklemmy.

Who is that?

The Flying Squid is someone who contributes to Lemmy comment sections a ton. They're super friendly and also add a lot of discussion. Given the nature of Lemmy being so small though they stand out because they're often leading discussions. Pretty much just a really good discussion contributor who is super recognizable.
