It's also the fault of neoliberal governments around the world for actively looking down on middle class people for not caring as much about the climate, refugees and other matters that you can care about when you actually have enough money to have the time to care about those things.
Maybe lefties boycotting Tesla will cause MAGAs to go electric... Silver lining?
I think also we've become so dependent that they can just do whatever the fuck they want.
I've lived in a bunch of countries and FB messenger is the only way for me to keep in touch. FB can do whatever they want to me because I'm never going to persuade a bunch of people to all move to signal or something.
Reddit has communities that simply don't exist on any other platform.
They have the critical mass.
The 80/20 rule... although it is more 90/10 for me.
For example, being full vegan is awfully hard (at the start), but eating vegan 90 percent of the time is actually super easy.
Biking instead of driving most of the time is much easier than telling yourself to cycle every day.
We often treat things as all or nothing... And sure, I'd love to be perfect at all the things I find important, but doing so puts certain things out of reach because it makes me frustrated and give up on good intentions.
Lol, have you been following the news much?
And the worst bit it even happens to non free platforms.
Like Spotify pushing a TikTok style interface, and ramming my home screen full of things I don't care about. Like, you've known me for a decade you should know I'm not into drake and podcasts by conservative men.
Great read!
I remember me using software called trillian that supported logins to all chat networks, so I could use ICQ, Google, MSN and AOL all at the same time
Except nearly half of the people impacted didn't vote leave...
Thanks. I think I'm overthinking this. I've never been in a place in life where I would be able to help people like this but I've caught a few lucky breaks career wise where I get to so a job I love that also happens to pay very well... So this is new territory for me.
Nope, gotta blame "the cooperations" because God forbid you admit cooperations only pollute because of your own demand.
Animal agriculture is a particularly good example here because literally nothing will ever make meat sustainable (except growing it in a lab).
Absolutely, my first thought was this is what internet was in the 90s and 00s. Slow, good yarns, and lame jokes.
Tbh there's already too many memes here though. Half my front page is 196 and German me_irl sometimes.
I don't think your company computer allows for the same things my company computer does
Fuck bro, I've got some pretty bad anxiety right now but compared to this it seems nothing. I wish you well, stranger.
I don't know what industry you're in but I'm sorry this happened. The same happened to me and I found a job within two weeks; my hiring manager told me that I had excellent values.
Posting on Lemmy with a reddit watermark is like posting on reddit with a 9gag watermark
Ahh I do know her a little bit and know she's been struggling a bit to find work. But you're right. I'll help Stevie out and will try not to overthink.
A lot of people simply don't give a shit. Look at the amount of people still on Facebook.
The app has its own issues. Every time I upvote or comment I get a timeout error.
Absolutely. I understand things aren't for free, but if you make my experience subpar I'm blocking ads.
I wish more creators would make content available across more platforms.
It keeps loading random posts to the top of the page while I'm scrolling. I know this is a known bug... But the website is basically unusable.
Meat tastes like nothing special if it's not salted, marinated or eaten with gravy.
Probably for "security reasons"
Exactly, I'm 'older' but I grew up with the internet in the 90s and know what it was before it turned into a monetized cesspool of corporate trash.
Don't forget SmartTube for Android TV!
Ex lease laptops and monitors are also often very good deals!
The monitors often come with very well adjustable stands that are much more ergonomic. The laptops are often very high build quality and perfect for regular home office use.
Makes you wonder about reddit api pricing...
I don't understand what this meme refers to. Do you have colitis or something?
I recently started watching videos of people mowing lawns and it's been making me feel great.
I really needed to read this right now. It's been a dark time in my mind.
The average annual wage in Germany is 45k
A while ago someone at my company resigned and then sent a leaving message to all 2000 employees.
The reply all storm that followed was hilarious. I have no idea how general staff was able to use the all staff distribution group.
Dyslexia hell though
Yeah I don't want to make our relationship murky by expecting her to work for me and get paid for it. Especially because we already help each other out with minor things anyway
It really depends on how they went. Sudden implosion of the hull, quick and easy.
Floating around for days until your air runs out, wondering if someone will find you... Not so much.
Sadly, less intense meat production only uses more resources, as more land is needed. The longer an animal lives, the more resources it uses.
6 billion hunters would be a sight to behold!
Growing pains. It's been a week, for most of us...
If beehaw wants to be a secluded small community they're free to do that. There will be replacement communities.
I guess I want some memes not all memes
They have a lot of experience disposing of lots of bodies efficiently. They'll sort op out.
This is terrifying
I think a quick look overseas will show you it's migrants, the queer community, women, and to a certain extent any intellectual. Now where have I seen this before.
