Spaniard here. I did some remote work with a North American company and in my profile my race was "Latino". I tried to explain I'm caucasian but it was futile.

Me. Photoshop of "Saturn devouring his son", by Francisco de Goya.

I made it in 2022 for Twitter. After that I abandoned my account. With the recent "X" news, I thought it will be fine to use it again after correcting the colours and adding a few filters, because the original was very dark and saturated.

Hot Fuzz

I don't usually watch videos because when I use Lemmy I'm in my phone and listening to the music.

I don't want my music to stop so I can watch a video of 10 minutes with a list of Patreons, a paid sponsor, links to other videos of the channel and an actual minute with worthy information.

This. Fines should not be fixed at a specific amount, but rather as a percentage of the total income of the company for a year. Just as laws are regulated according to technological advances, fines must also be regulated to truly impact companies and make them think twice before breaking the law.

Short answer: Nothing

Long answer: Actually, nothing

Before the pandemic, I was already remote working because all I did was connect my computer to servers in a warehouse 20 kilometers away from the office I had to be at.

Now, every person in my department is literally hundreds of kilometers away from each other, and we MUST go to each office to do the same things we could do staying at home. I lose 3 hours daily (waking up early, preparing meals, going to the office, and returning...) because of this nonsense.

Also, the building I have to go to doesn't belong to my employer. The contract ends this year and, instead of sending us home again, my employer has rented another building that's FARTHER than the current one. We're pretty sure this is just money laundering or the building belongs to a friend.

People are leaving for remote jobs, and our bosses are still wondering why.

Glasses.

I don't mind wearing contact lenses, but I don't like having to do it every day when I wake up. And don't even get me started on having to take off the contact lenses when you get home after partying and drinking.

There was a moment in my life when I realized I was mentally burned out because when I read books, my brain couldn't create images anymore.

I analyzed my time and found myself in front of a screen almost all the time, without breaks. Due to my job, I'm already forced to be in front of two screens, so I started with my phone gradually, muting people on WhatsApp, Facebook, and Twitter.

It wasn't enough, so I reduced my use of Facebook and only shared music videos on my profile. If I had any notifications upon entering, I paid attention to them at that moment. I abandoned Twitter a while ago, and I have no regrets.

Today, my phone doesn't emit any sound or show any lights unless someone calls me directly. I only use it for some recreational time that I deem worthwhile, and I check WhatsApp notifications when I plan to change the playlist I'm listening to.

I'm still somewhat mentally burned out, but I genuinely feel happier.

As you wish.

The good: I like helping without expecting anything in return. If someone I care about is happy, I will be happy.

The bad: A white lie, even if it was told to don't hurt my feelings, I will label it as a lie and I will lose all trust in you.

The ugly: If you do or say something that reminds me of my best friend (who committed suicide 25 years ago), without providing any explanation, I will be in a quite angry mode towards anyone until I have been able to sort out my thoughts, and that could last for weeks.

Don't you want to read hundreds of comments with "Who's listening this in [insert year here]?" or how that song was the favourite of a dead relative? Lame.

No, seriously. Those are 90% of the comments I read in music videos on YouTube. Another 5% are the lyrics pasted continuously.

Maybe now you think they don't work, but I tell you from my personal experience they will.

Delete also the search history. After that, search non toxic topics, like live shows of her favourite artists, recipes, nature documentaries...

Funny way to say "Egg" in Spanish.

Shut it!

Artist: Feuerschwanz

Song: Saturnine by The Gathering (From the live album A Noise Severe)

In Spain we say "Hacer un Perfect" (To do a Perfect) when the poop goes clean through the toilet without flushing and, after wiping, the paper remains white.

Do you call it that way too? When was your last "Perfect"?

Marvelous

None of your posts here is a shower thought. Please move your questions to asklemmy.

Whoa, whoa, slow down, egghead.

In Spain we use "Fulano de Tal". It seems Fulano comes from the arabic language, meaning "Anybody". We use it when we don't the name of a person we are talking about, or we really don't care to know the name. Apart of Fulano, we also use Mengano.

Fulano/Mengano for men, Fulana/Mengana for women.

I guess our John/Jane Smith would be Pepe/Pepa García.

Newbie here. Just installed Jerboa and two minutes later it shows "Network error". Installed Wefwef and it's ok. Taking notes to try the other ones.

Still learning about Lemmy and the communities to have an accurate opinion.
