Oh don’t worry - I only use Instagram and Facebook to advertise my business. I’m even funding the development of their competitor, Grok, for 30€/month, which I’m sure you’re glad to hear.

Instagram does the same with recommended content and YouTube with shorts. You’d think that the algorithm would figure it out that I’m not interested after hiding them for the 20th time but apparently not. I’m sure there’s a bussiness logic to it but I don’t get it.

Impossible to say from the picture but I’d start with a brass cap with ½" pipe thread.

I was in an open relationship for around 7 years or so. I think our situation was perhaps a bit different though. I simply have no interest in sex myself, but I didn’t want to force my partner to live in a sexless relationship, so I gave her the pass to sleep with others.

I wouldn’t say I never felt any jealousy about it, but I kind of even surprised myself with how little I was actually bothered by it. I almost felt more jealous about them having dinner together than the sex part. I’d theorize that any jealousy is simply a signal of lack of trust, and a lack of complete trust is going to be a disaster in these relationships. Open relationship might work for some but polyamory for almost nobody.

Also, we broke up for different reasons. Neither of us considered the open relationship decision a bad one or as a cause for the breakup.

My entire business is pretty much run by feels. I often get asked why I don’t do X, Y, and Z like everyone else, and the answer is usually that I didn’t feel like it.

Doesn’t hurt the revenue - or maybe it does - I wouldn’t know.

It’s more of a fire hazard than an ethical issue.

It’s endlessly both amusing and psychologically fascinating how you’re seemingly getting progressively more and more angry while just sharing your opinion before anyone has even had time to engage with you. It’s an objective fact that strong emotions cloud people’s judgment, so I can only wonder what it is that’s actually making you feel so emotional about it.

Clearly you’re not just a passive, distant observer to this but you’re somehow emotionally invested in it as well. It’s not really that I necessarily even entirely disagree with what I believe you’re saying - it’s just the way you’re saying it that makes me a bit suspicious about what’s really going on in the back of your head, whether it’s conscious or not.

It’s a cliché, but I feel like more often than not this kind of strong reaction to something that in no way affects your own life probably tells more about yourself than it does about other people or about what’s true in the world. I’m not sure whether you’re trying to convince us or yourself.

Edit: Okay, I read your other responses and I see what’s going on here. Bye.

I just wrote a long response to your previous thread which you deleted.

Make changes to limit their own power and actually have the spine to resist both the far right and the far left. Anything seen as partisan will backfire on them - no question about it. Arresting and prosecuting the entirety of MAGA politicians, as suggested by many in this thread, is about the worst thing they could do. It would just lead to more of the same, but worse.

Every now and then there’s an Ask Lemmy thread along the lines of “what would you do if you could do anything” and the number of people sharing their violent murderous fantasies there and getting upvoted for it is genuinely staggering. Like you said: normal people don’t behave like that. If someone finds themselves having daydreams about murdering “the elites” or whatever, it’s time to get off social media and go take a walk outside.

Ads on reddit have always been completely optional though. Just like with the rest of the internet.

Alt account cause obviously.

Not at all obvious to me as to what there is to lose by posting this from your main account.

If this was any other employee you would probably tear them a new one.

No I wouldn’t - it was an honest mistake. Could’ve happened to me just as well. It’s my business and I’m responsible. He’s not being paid and it was me who asked his help.

Yeah I wouldn’t lie about it if he asked. If there was actually damage done then I’d have no option but to tell him but in this case nothing bad really ended up happening and this isn’t really anything you can even learn from. There’s always going to be leaks no matter how careful one is - this kind of catastrophical failure is rare and just really bad luck.

It was an honest mistake. Plumbing is an unforgiving profession.

It can fly up to 500 meters but by law you’re only allowed to go up to 120 meters. The range is up to 10km but if you go beyond 5km you won’t have enough battery left to fly back. Realistically the range is around 2 to 3km at most. And yes I’ve crashed - always at low altitude and at the cost of propeller blades only and no it wasn’t expensive - only 330€ for the drone, controller, 3 batteries and a case (DJI Mini 4K)

I feel personally attacked

Stick is a branch where as log is part of the trunk. Narrow trunk is called a sapling.

I’m not making any statements about universal truths here. I’ve simply followed the advice given to me and gotten good results with it, so I want to spread it forward. I’m just trying to be helpful.

This is such a Lemmy moment again.

I don’t think it’s luck. What probably explains more of it is that I was applying for a job that involves getting your hands dirty in a company with less than 10 employees.

I stand behind my advice. I think displaying a genuine personality will pay off in the long run. Nobody remembers the generic application they trashed without reading, but they do remember the guy who showed up as himself.
