Other than the back button there’s no indication of whether the webpage is loading or sth. On early days when kbin is less responsive it can be confusing to know if I had tapped on the post or not.

Hongkonger here. We usually bought Thailand jasmine rice, and cook it with rice cooker.
I’ve tried both cheaper and expensive rice brands and the difference in both taste and smell is really significant, even though they are both jasmine rice.
As for cooking it, you really can’t go wrong with a rice cooker
1/2 to 3/4 cup of rice per person. Rinse the rice with cold water 1-3 times. Both the bowl and the cup have those scales on it, so that gets the water-rice ratio covered (E.g. fill the water up to the “—— 2” if you put 2 cups of rice). That line gives you the standard fluffiness, so adjust slightly to your preference. Plug in the cord, flip the switch, let the rice cooker do its job and work on other stuff.
When the switch pops, the rice is cooked. Pull the cord, open the lid and gently mix/stir the rice a little bit with the spoon that came along the cooker. Doing so prevents the rice from sticking to the bowl (that’s what I’ve been told and it seems to works), and to “add some air in between the rice” as it taste better this way. Where I’m from, people usually prefers the feel of discrete/individual grains of rice, instead of a “blob”/”goop” of rice.
That NSFW post on r/interestingasfuck has reached r/all lmfao
Some subs like r/fuckcars will be doing “touch grass Tuesday”, where the sub will be restricted every Tuesday.
I think r/HarryPotter is still polling the same idea. Which gets me wonder what if most of the popular subs decided to do this.
Of course there’s no viable alternatives to Reddit. Why would someone create another dumpster fire?
Apollo. So no more reddit for me when the app shuts down officially.
I wish Christian would made an Apollo-like app for the Fediverse.
Just finished the movie as well and I cannot describe how disappointed I am when I hear the main theme/bgm getting louder and louder, and the editing (how they cuts back and forth between the two) is clearly setting up a cliffhanger. And for sure I’m not the only one that felt the same way in the theatre.
Don’t get me wrong, I love this sequel. They clearly knew what makes the first one so good and they expanded on those elements - art style, music, story, etc. - they did it again and made them better. It’s the only marvel comics/movies/series/whatever that I watched in years just because I really love the first one. But the way they butchered the ending will make this part 2 forever right below the first one on my list, and make myself certain again that I won’t be watching any marvel’s stuff anymore after the final instalment is out next year.
Edit: just learned that the same thing happens to the Fast series as well. I guess it has become the norm now.
Maybe we gave the site the very first Fediverse hug of death
This gets me thinking that this might be what reddit looked like back in the very beginning - lots of actual users interacting, making contents, etc.
To be fair, every time I click on a Reddit post on my home page, it is usually filled with all kinds of comments that I can and can’t think of already. So not much incentive to leave a comment instead of upvote/downvote.
But here probably because of the low user count, essentially we are the one that are leaving those “all kinds of comments”.
