    Can’t load that image, I get this error:

    {"error":"unknown","message":"Request error: error sending request for url (http://pictrs:8080/image/original/829ac091-176e-4c14-b8d1-5a367023ad08.jpeg): operation timed out"}

    Doesn’t happen with any other instance.

    Why can I almost never load any images from science_memes? I can load every other community and instance. This happens on all platforms for me, even on different local networks a whole state away.

    Edit: Example:

    {"error":"unknown","message":"Request error: error sending request for url (http://pictrs:8080/image/original/f0df2dda-387d-42e9-b0d3-eae6db20e11c.jpeg): operation timed out"}

    I’m not saying create an echo chamber, my advice excludes engaging with people who agree and disagree, at least when it comes to large scale politics. If someone wants to get involved in politics, I think they should avoid echo chambers and engage in good discussion. But for people who just want to or need to get away from it, disengaging entirely I think is the way to go. You can still get involved in local polics without engaging in larger politics. They often have direct impacts on your community and it varies wildly between different communities.

    I recommend not watching or reading the news. Spend your free time learning about hobbies or finding new ones, getting involved in local politics instead of national/global politics, improving yourself, and finding friends in communities around your hobby.

    If you want some PC gaming friends that don’t talk about politics all the time, DM me. We’re in our late 20’s through 40’s.

    I thought the joke here was that even when they’re not locked your average inkjet printer is a hot pile of garbage machinery that works only when the planets align and you’ve sacrificed 3 goats and a your firstborn.

    Meanwhile laster jet printers work most of the time except when they don’t.

    Edit: one time I wanted to buy more ink for my inkjet and there was a brand new inkjet printer that came with ink that was less expensive than a new cartridge. (Of the same size)

    The new printer was $30 and worked just as poorly as my $150 inkjet.

    I’ve done printer maintenance for years among other things and inkjets are literally designed and manufactured in the deepest layer of hell.
