I prefer to block individual users rather than whole communities simply because doing so could lead to an echo chamber of not proper mitigated.
However, I do block anything related to anime or waifu. And general porn.
I’m not prude, but Lemmy is where I come to discuss/debate a range of topics with others so I’d like to be able to open it in public.
True. But it’s the proportions of each that matter. And the type of salt and vineger.
Vinegar goes first because it gives the salt a sticking surface. Apply it when the fries are fresh so that it soaks in a bit better.
heavy on the salt before the vinegar has fully soaked in. Then toss the fries and add a little bit when serving.
Sea salt and Malt vinegar are the best, but any old salt and vinegar will do in a pinch.
Salt and Vinegar.
Never really liked ketchup.
Mom, yes. Dad, no.
Dad’s a bigot that doesn’t understand why he can’t use “those kind of words” these days so he rants about it in private.
HOWEVER…he would never say it to their face, he’s at least THAT self-aware. And for the most part, he wouldn’t hassle them (or anyone).
While his personal beliefs are most certainly bigoted. He’s anti-LGBTQ+, anti-indigenous (we’re in Canada), anti-immigrant (he himself IS a fucking immigrant…smh)
But his biggest trait is simply live and let live. He doesn’t agree with them, but he has no interest in forcing that disagreement upon them.
He basically believes in everyone minding their own damn business regardless of what they may personally believe.
That is quite literally not how attraction works.
As someone already mentioned, the more you get to know a person, the more attractive (or less attractive) they objectively become to you. I firmly believed that my wife was beautiful, and as our relationship soured and she started cheating on me, she quite literally became physically uglier in my eyes.
It’s just how the brain works. If you love someone, they’re beautiful. End of story.
Listening to a podcast about the race to the South Pole between Robert Scott and Roald Amundsen.
Amundsen had let it be known that he was actually going to the North Pole before (surprise) turning around and heading south. Then, not only did he beat Scott to the South Pole, he left a letter there addressed to Scott, asking him to make sure it got posted to the King of Norway,
Amundsen with the Big Dick Energy. While yes, it was also a safety measure in case Amundsen and his team didn’t make it back. But the dick move of “Not only did I beat you, please be a dear and deliver that announcement for me” must have crossed Amundsen’s mind at some point.
No need to apologise. You’re allowed to be wrong.
– In case it’s not clear, that’s a joke. I feel like “smart ass” needs a tag like sarcasm has (/s).
GEN X. The best gen.
We were nihilists long before the internet proved us right.
Plus we gave you grunge. You’re welcome.
I think Married With Children has managed to come through unscathed because of Ed O’Neil and who he is as a person. He’s so much the opposite of Al Bundy and has always been very open about that. The show as a result falls into that same category as South Park or All in the Family; We understand that the jokes are meant to be satire via absurdity; It’s so over the top and the actor is so different in real life that we just get it.
Compare that to something like Home Improvement, where we know that the humour isn’t meant to be absurdist, and we know that Tim Allen really is a douche.
I never saw those moments as Kif being homophobic. I read it as a subordinate being repulsed by the idea of seeing his commanding officer naked.
Nothing is unknowable. It’s just unknowable for now.
Yeah, not a high-end business.
You are incredibly naive.
Short answer. Yes.
Long answer: I’m 48. And while some of what we are feeling is certainly a sense of “back in my day” nostalgia, its certainly not the only cause.
We are from a strange generation who were old enough to remember a world before all of this, and young enough to adapt to all of it with relative ease. ( “this” being a transition to an online existence)
Even one generation before us just simply struggles with it. And just one generation after us, while still “born” before this all became a thing, were to young to truly experience it.
So we have a very unique and valuable perspective to offer; one that says "yes, things seemed better back then, and that is likely most certainly true for many things. But some things were likely just as fucked up back then and we simply didn’t have the internet screaming it at us 24-7. And perhaps right and left were not quite as polarized as they are today because of it.
Just my Gen-x take on it.
They play the opening theme for Last Week Tonight with John Oliver.
How to Waste Your Potential by Taking the Easy Path at Every Key Moment
I mean, true…but I don’t think the average user is paying for the service rather than they’re paying for not having to worry about setting up everything needed to get syncthing working.
I don’t consider myself a luddite in any way, but within five seconds of reading syncthing’s install instructions even I basically just said, “yeah…no.” And I say that AS a nearly 12 year semi-advanced linux user. It’s not that it’s difficult. But difficult enough to not be worth it for the average person.
I used Crucial brand in both my desktop and my laptop upgrades a few years ago (I don’t remember the exact model…mx500 maybe?) And I haven’t had a single issue.
Absolutely rock-solid.
There are two types of Open Source users; those of us who understand and live by the ethos of FOSS, and users who just want to use a software that they don’t have to pay for and don’t care or understand the underlying ideas behind it.
That second group is the group who, no matter how many times they hear it explained to them, will refuse to believe that “free” doesn’t necessarily mean “no-cost” and therefore develop an expectation of “free” and decry that you’re not allowed to sell your software because it’s open-source, and even asking for donations is forbidden, when in reality neither of those things is remotely true.
Far more important than anything is to change the perception of Open Source to something like value ware; If you value the use you get from the software, pay an amount that you feel is fair. If they can’t afford it, that’s okay, but if they can, then the expectation needs to be that they DO. Even just a few bucks.
Long time Bitwarden user. Never been steered wrong. One of the few apps that I pay for premium not because I need the extra features, but because I value it enough to support the devs financially
The switch to progressive lenses happened far sooner than I was hoping.
Graying in the beard stayed away for a long time, and then in a matter of a year, decided to attack with all of its might. (Probably the same on my head too, but I’ve been shaving it forever so I wouldn’t know)
Heartburn troubles. Though that was less about ageing and more about gaining weight after quitting smoking twelve years ago.
