"MothBookkeeper is the dictator of the world, and I completely trust his decisions."

Nevermind the logistics of that; power lives where people believe it does.

Then I could make multiple beneficial changes, such as:

• Heavily taxing the rich
• Enacting drastic climate policy
• Banning paper stickers that rip as you try to take them off
• Sending Mitch McConnell on a rocket into the sun

I disagree. The views during /r/place are negligible. Advertising Lemmy and stealing their users: priceless.

Reminds me of that gif of Obama. Same exact expression.

We can have nice design without the corporate bullshit. They aren't the same thing.

Wait wait wait. Stop everything. I've found my post.

I too was like you. Every flimsy-ass can opener I had ever used couldn't puncture cans consistently, would get off track, leave uncut sections, and just generally suck completely. I got so fed up replacing them that I went off the deep end researching these things.

My wife got impatient with me. She told me to come back to bed; that can openers weren't this important. That didn't stop me. I was going to put an end to the suck. I read review sites, I visited stores, I called people. After literal days of research, I made my decision.

A can opener doesn't need to be complicated or decked out with fancy features. Fundamentally, the qualities you want are reliability, comfort, build quality, and leverage (i.e. a powerful mechanical advantage).

I didn't buy the OXO. Not a side-cutter (don't get me started). I bought the EZ-Duz-It can opener—an unassuming name for the most brilliant can opener ever built.

It's inexpensive and durable. It securely latches onto cans and glides through them with ease. The knob spins smoothly with little effort. This thing is a dream. Never before have I experienced such a drastic shift in how I felt about a product.

There simply is no other answer.

70 isn't THAT old.

WTF, this is hilarious

Just do what my colleagues do, ignore it completely.

Pros: Very time and resource efficient. Little documentation needed.

Cons: Doesn't solve the problem.

Let's just say it, the icon sucks ass.

You're great.

It exists already.

...Limit?

Well, the truth is, there are "stupid" questions—or at least, there are questions you could have figured out yourself. There are people that will judge you for asking them, and in a certain light, they have a point. Challenging yourself to figure things out is a valuable skill.

HOWEVER, most people don't feel that way, and your fear of being judged is often much stronger than necessary. You should ask yourself, "would I get more valuable information from asking the question than figuring it out myself"? Be honest, but if the answer is yes, it's a good question.

The other thing is, the consequences of asking a stupid question are almost always much less than the consequences of doing something wrong as a result. To illustrate that point, take an example from my life. I'm a manager, and I have two employees. One of them has never asked a question the entire time she's been working with us, despite me explicitly asking her to. She's determined to figure everything out herself, but the quality of her work is pretty poor. I have another employee who asks questions constantly. When I review his work, there are very few mistakes, because we've already discussed any concerns he's had. Guess which person I'm considering promoting?

That applies just as easily to a class setting. If you take the risk of sounding stupid when you ask questions, chances are not only will your test scores be better, but your classmates will probably appreciate the questions because they have them as well.

Here's a chart that I've found really helpful. Predictably, it's drawn some criticism, but in my experience, it's been very accurate.

Æon Flux, from 2005. 9% on RT. I'm not sure if it's nostalgia from seeing it as a teen or if the masses weren't ready for it or what, but it was just so unique and had such a cool vibe.

The headline was not altered.

Maybe you shouldn't have called someone a tard boy? Sorry, are you trying to say you're the victim here...?

It doesn't though? At least on Android, it's 3.6.

Rekindle old friendships. Every time you do something together, plant a seed for the next thing you're going to do. Meet new people through them. If you like the people, don't say no to anything you're invited to. Rinse, repeat.

Sync for Lemmy has keyword filters. I set that up the second it was released.

Perfectly said.

Donations, maybe merch. That's it. I don't want the actual content of Lemmy to start being influenced by money. If the server is slow because of it, I'll donate or just deal with it.

I named my cat Craig to intentionally capitalize on this effect. I think it's funny, even if no one else does.

The main thing is the blunt edge. You want to deform the butter, rather than separate it. A steak knife will more easily cut through the butter, meaning the rest of it sticks to the side of the knife, rather than continuing to get pulled along the bread.

I don't, I guess. I don't really have a lot of conversations in real life about my social media activity. My wife knows I'm mad at Reddit, and that I installed a new app on her phone to scroll memes. 😂

Both cold and hot showers have health benefits. Cold showers can help reduce inflammation, relieve pain, improve circulation, lower stress levels, and reduce muscle soreness and fatigue. Hot showers can improve cardiovascular health, soothe stiff joints, and improve sleep.

It's more like, "all things that can exist do."

What the hell is a super bean

That, and just mention it in the comments of other posts when it's contextually appropriate.

It's the original formatting from the news site. And anyway, if I wanted to format it differently, I would have.

Well, my story isn't particularly interesting, but I imagine it's similar to many others'.

I used RIF. Reddit killed RIF. I wasn't a fan of how they handled that at all, and it instantly soured me against the company. Also, their own app is terrible.

I browsed /r/RedditAlternatives for answers, and tried a few. Lemmy felt most like what I enjoyed about Reddit, and it wasn't totally devoid of content. I figured out how instances worked, picked a random one, thinking I'd choose my favorite later, and started posting a comment here and there. I tried a bunch of apps, moved from Beehaw to lemmy.world, found communities that I liked, and... well here we are.

I'll admit, I've visited Reddit a few times when Lemmy has felt stale, but mostly I've completely moved over without missing it. The vibe is much better, like early Reddit, despite having less content. I've felt compelled to contribute more often myself, which makes it more fun.

He's just a walking blizzard of dishonesty.

Great point. Draw on the shared knowledge of other people. Not only is it a smart idea, but it's the entire foundation of what sets our species apart. To intentionally deprive yourself of that is ludicrous.

I wonder this same thing about my company. The only rational theory I've heard - which is completely unconfirmed - is that they aren't willing to sell the building because it's still needed for the IT team and a few other purposes, but need a certain occupancy level to not be penalized on their taxes.

Everyone else answered the question, but welcome!

I've been there! Impossible to get a photo without any people in it, but so beautiful. We also visited a perfume factory nearby, which was way cooler than I would've expected.

That's sad, but comforting in a way.

What?
