I’m mildly disappointed

I am curious if I’m on the list but not enough to find it and look. I guess I’ll never know

No

Nothing I’ve said should be interpreted as me advocating for a rule or enforcement standard of any kind. I’m talking about the way individuals think about this topic. You’re just as free to put your sweaty bare ass cheeks on the chair I’m about to sit on at the gym as I am to call you a disgusting asshole for doing so. I don’t get why you would want to though.

There’s a difference between being technically allowed to do something and that thing being a good idea to actually do. Society functions best when people make decisions with others in mind. Sure, you can make most decisions with the “fuck you, it’s not illegal” mindset but is a society where everyone lives that way the kind of place you want to live?

It’s not only beautiful people that dress this way and that’s part of the problem with voicing an opinion on this topic. When you say “people don’t need to be mostly naked in the gym” everyone pictures an attractive young woman wearing an outfit they don’t personally mind. What I’m saying applies to fat old men, young girls, middle aged housewives, basement dwelling dweebs, and all the other groups of people you may encounter at the gym. If an outfit isn’t cool for everyone to wear then it shouldn’t be cool for the attractive exhibitionist to wear either.

This is a dumb response to the issue but some people, both men and women, do show up to the gym in outfits that are viewed as inappropriate in a vast majority of other places. It’s not terribly difficult to keep your attention focused elsewhere but it is understandable that some want to be able to get in a work out without other people’s asses in their face on a constant basis.

I’m sure most of Lemmy will call that opinion prudish or something similar but everyone is entitled to their own thoughts on stuff like that. It’s true that fashion is a personal choice but I don’t see why you would want to do things you know will make others uncomfortable either.

My company switched to Oracle in the last two years. It has gone as horribly as you would imagine it would. The solution we had in place before wasn’t great but Oracle is far worse in every way.

Playing the victim is the internet equivalent of the “I’m not touching you” game kids play to annoy other people. Being a turd in the punch bowl is the best case scenario as it is the only goal of the game.

What does taking those things seriously change as far as your response is concerned? If you mean ‘I try to correct that person’s behavior’ then that seems like a losing battle that’s also adding to the engagement you mentioned. If you mean ‘I downvote and move on’ then that seems like a sensible choice.

You’re already paying for public schools. Might as well use them

Not for long

I think it’s easiest to tell by the skin between their toes. For some reason, most don’t like it when I get down on the floor and try to look.

They do make CAT5 pluggable SFPs. They are weird but come in handy from time to time.

You are wise beyond your years oh great professor

This is the 3rd “eaten by an escalator” post I’ve seen today. Did I miss something or is this just a weird coincidence?

Canadians expect 20% tips. I’m sure others do as well.

Edit: You can downvote if you like but it’s still true

The numbers vary from study to study. The one cited here says 67%.

For real. Most people live paycheck to paycheck, including people who make $100k+ a year. They just have bigger bills. Living within your means is one of the most essential adult skills there is. It’s also lacking in most adults.

It sounds terrible. I’m glad you liked it

I have been meaning to go back and give it another chance. I played it on launch and got to some place like 30 minutes in that they clearly wanted to be some big “ooo, ahh” moment but I just felt bored. I shut it off and never played again. I do enjoy Bethesda games though so it’s possible I would like it if I pushed through.
