To be fair, back when I made a decision of decreasing my meat consumption, it took off as “meatball Mondays”: I allowed myself to eat meat one, maybe two days a week (but not a must). It’s been ~6 years since. Last year at one point I tried to remember when it was the last time I had meat (it wasn’t that week or the one before). I couldn’t remember.
Meatball Mondays are still a good start.
On the one hand, his posts contain a non-negligible number of “boomer” style memes (could be stuff like wife bad, targeted at minorities, vegans, whatever - not necessarily actual examples, just trying to define “boomer” humour), and some of them end up getting downvoted into negatives.
On the other hand, he’s bringing content to Lemmy regularly. I’m not saying that’s enough on its own, but I can complain all day about niche communities being dead/empty, and then I don’t post shit. He does. More people should do that.
Just do it right, though.
Oh, whether it’s a bot or not: I’m not saying definitely not, but at least the posting history is showing changes. Started putting an NSFW tag on everything lately (probably to boost engagement, because wow, maybe boobs), and it seems like it stopped. Could still be experiments with a bot account, but there’s that.
Now that all the corn is gone… should we just all mark every single post as NSFW, regardless of the content? I guess it’s fine, since it’s been the case with Mickey7 for a while.
I suspected it was rage bait, starting with the British isles being coloured green, despite the existence of the word ‘toe’ there.
I could only find the “original”, without the bottom text. The one with the comment is just as blurry.
I wouldn’t sleep with a bra, either. It’s just an unnecessary layer, preventing my skin from breathing properly. The straps would also be just in the way. I’m a cis male, though.
Nononono, you don’t get it: looking at the past 4+ governments, I think they want to increase the birth rate of the right people.
I was so naïve back when had I thought the Labour would be any different from the Tories…
I’ve had VERY similar thoughts on the matter in the past few years (compulsory hospitality service, for about ~half a year), and I dig your terms. Please send link to signatures when you start your campaign.
Those kinds of people won’t really be any nicer without this training, either. At least we can make them take it for a day. I’m still behind the plan (however, at a lot of places you need more than 1 day of experience to grasp how the whole system works and why some complaints are actually ridiculous).
I sent you my desktop layout, please respond
I think the main cause is the time aspect. Like the lemming above, I’m missing the old Reddit. The bottom half of the picture is the (somewhat) new reddit. But yeah, I’m aware it hasn’t changed overnight only 1-2 years ago.
I’m not trying to get you to keep using it (I should have stopped using it myself, as well), but if you insist using it for another month, you might as well just delete the app right now, and just visit (the owl’s website name).com with the uBlock Origin extension.
I’ve been using it that way from the start, and never installed the app. Zero push notifications, and as opposed to push notifications, you can actually filter your emails if you want to keep certain types of messages for some reason. It’s still not the best, but certainly less annoying.
What made me decide to stop (at two years, also ~2 months from now) is the constant, unnecessary inflation of sections to keep you grinding, always moving the goal line. Well, and the obvious AI solutions, clearly meaning they booted a lot of people for cheap labour. And for gutting the discussions. Especially that: I used to learn more from the discussions/comments than the actual sections.
But apart from obsession, there’s really no difference between still using it for another X days and quitting right now (says me, wanting to make it a nice and round 730 days). Yes, you might be able to learn a few extra words, and AT BEST one new thing about grammar, but the difference is just negligible, and you might have actually learned more from some other source during those X days, instead - with fewer of the aforementioned annoyances.
Is that some kind of confirmational yes? I only know that the boring, general yes would be ‘tak’. Or how does this thing work?
Not a single mouse, cursor or command line in sight, but somehow they always type 84 letters per second, and get a flashy UI with animation, 3D models spinning, moving, zooming and morphing, or at the very least windows popping up and doing various stuff.
Just like in real life.
And this is Jackass.
Thanks for the tip, I should give it a try. I’m not sure I still have the energy to invest months until I start to understand stuff while sucking and losing all the time, but I will get there eventually.
Not too surprisingly, you can add League of Legends (another Riot games title) to the list. While I’m not a fan of kernel level anticheat, I do love most of these games, and it’s really frustrating how I don’t see any change in the future. After more than a year of struggling, I finally managed to get my Mint working (turns out my old mobo was faulty), but it looks like I will still have to keep Windows for basically all multiplayer titles I play.
As a kid, being indoctrinated early on by fairy tales with knights, then watching action films later on, I kind of understand, since you only know about the romanticised side.
As an adult, by the time you’re supposed to understand the endless pain, suffering, atrocities, needless death of millions (even one single person), the barbarity of trying to resolve conflicts with violence, the immense sadness and sacrifice that comes with war… putting it lightly, I don’t get war lovers.
But fuck me, I fucking LOVE to learn about the technological advancements, smart solutions, brilliant engineering (hey, even strategies) that came with those, from the first stone tools to holographic sights and radar camouflaging. On one hand, it’s rather sad that we could only develop technologies due to threatening violence or trying to crush others. On the other hand, without wars, we would probably still be amputating limbs due to infections we can either prevent or treat now (thanks to field medicine development), and a civilisation that doesn’t develop its own weapons (since why would they, they are peaceful) won’t have fun when running into one that isn’t as friendly.
(And for that reason, YT already thinks I’m a WW2 nerd)
Hell. I will need it tomorrow when I wake up after 4 hours of sleep.
While I’m not an expert in economics, from my uneducated point of view it looks like they are an inevitable result of unregulated/improperly regulated capitalism. But I understand once you make strong enough regulations to try and prevent that, it might not be called capitalism anymore, but I guess it also depends on your (everyone’s?) very definition of capitalism.
Again, I might just be a dumb fuck in the matter, though.
