    Ooh, damn that’s rough!

    I think we had some bars over asphalt/concrete/cement (I dunno, it was a big solid surface that was also the parking lot, the kickball diamond, the wiffle ball field, and where we had all of our field and track days) but I only ever fell off the ones over the rocks. I do remember friends with broken teeth or busted noses from that, tho.

    I think wood chips were added later (after I was out of that school) “for safety” and then rubber mulch was an even later upgrade.

    And when did something soft go in the playground area? Waaaay later, the school got actual grass in the playground - instead of playground equipment. 🙄 Building was closed within a few years of that happening.




  • This is what my family (and a few friends) use. We have been using it for a while now because it just works. Also, the kids have never complained about using Conversations, or about using it only for us (like if you have that one family member who won’t leave SMS behind - we’re that guy, I guess), and we can make as many channels as we need for the house, the kids, with each kid individually, for our MTG cards, with our couple of friends that use it, etc…

    I don’t personally do the hosting, so I can’t speak to that. That’s the hubby’s thing
    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯




  • I think that - if you want to read current Marvel story arcs, but not buy every tie-in story (from characters you don’t really like or care about, for example) - digital comics are how you’ll want to go.

    There are lots of ways to get free digital comics, and as the other reply said, use a search engine or wiki to find the reading order and all the tie-ins. That’s just the way Marvel does things, and I’m pretty sure DC does it the same way - that’s how the story stays cohesive, and how more sales are made. Your friend is absolutely right.

    If you’re going to a local comic book store, try asking the employees - not everyone cares, or pays attention, but sometimes you’ll find a passionate employee (or owner) who can help you find the tpbs involved in the storylines.


  • I don’t think it’s a Sync only thing. I get that you can see them in the browser, but since I started using Lemmy last year I have noticed the occasional number of comments not matching the visible comments - not just in Sync, tho. It’s happened to me while using the pwa and with other apps.

    If you want to switch clients, go ahead and try them out - there are a lot of choices these days. I think LW has a variety of frontend options, too. Maybe one of those will be a good fit?
    (I dunno, I really like Sync, but I’ve also installed and used just about every Android Lemmy app, and just end up coming back to Sync each time. Don’t get me wrong - there are some that are really good, but Sync is still my top pick.)





  • Love love love FLCL - great music imho, all seasons. I’ve re-watched the first season a dozen times or so, and didn’t actually know there were more seasons until much more recently.

    I’m also currently re-watching Jojo. Again ❤️

    My kids recommended Dororo, Dorohedoro, Made In Abyss, Bocchi the Rock!, Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion, One-Punch Man, Chainsaw Man… I have enjoyed them all. I know some of those are “new hotness” and really popular, but I’ve really enjoyed the stories, music and art in all of them.

    I will be watching this thread for more recommendations! Thanks, OP!
