partial_accumen

Both mod logs for the bans indicate one of the instance admins saw something I wrote elsewhere and banned me.

Ahh gotcha. They saw your activity on other instances and decided pre-emptively they didn’t want you there on their instances. Well, that’s their right, and I know both aggressively defend their communities.

I’m confused then. How did they ban you if you weren’t in there? If you were never there, how would you even know you were banned?

I’ve been banned from blahaj and beehaw for reasons I don’t agree with

Both those instances have very specific rules that they have established for the protection of their communities. If you go in their clubhouse I think its reasonable to abide by their rules, no matter your opinion on them. If you don’t like the rules for whatever reason, there’s no requirement to go to those instances. There are lots of other instances with are more laissez-faire in their approaches if thats your preferred interactions.

Also, in case you’ve forgotten. Jem is truly, truly, outrageous

Your English was fine and your message clear. @Alabaster_Mango@lemmy.ca is choosing to take exception and believing you are belittling labor employment. I don’t see you doing what they are apparently saying. You are telling OP to experience labor to see if they like it as a career, and if they don’t they’ll know that so they can choose a different career path. Your suggestion is a good one.

We here don’t give a fuck a say “Nike” like Mike.

The single syllable “Nike” pronunciation was introducing in the late 1980s or early 1990s with the advertising campaign for “Nike Air” shoes. Sometimes pop culture name shortening sticks. Another example of this would be the brand Porsche has two syllables, but has been shortened by most to a single syllable name.

Hercules

An Ancient Roman proper name derived from an Ancient Greek proper name Heracles, which is likely where we get our clues for modern pronunciation.

molecules

Thats a French word they built from a Latin base. Take it up with them on that one.

(and why the fuck Mike and Nike aren’t pronounced similarly?)

Well “Mike” is a typical appreciation of the name Micheal of Hebrew origin that long predates the English language. “Nike” is Ancient Greek, which also predates the English Language. Nike is the name of the Greek god of victory. So neither one of those is English.

Comfortable people can still have passions and drive.

Sure, but OP is comfortable and is citing their lack of passions and drive as a problem they want advice for. They’re asking for confirmation that its okay to have no passions/drives or for actions that will change that.

You don’t need to suffer to want something different.

Where @Lembot_0002@lemm.ee is going here is that some temporary suffering may underscore with OP that they want something different than suffering which may act as motivation for them to choose a path to continue their easy lifestyle instead.

“Hmm, our focus group revealed that showing the ‘home owner’ having to wear PPE made them think the work was dangerous. So lose the PPE for the ads.”

“Moronic” before and now “stupid”. Folks are very passionate about their date formats.

You meant 27th Feb 2013, right?

Does it matter anymore with this format? You figured out the exact day, month, and year irrespective of the order.

I regularly work with Americans, Canadians, and Europeans. So many times each group defaults to their own format and mistakes occur I gave up on all the formats listed by OP. If i have to write a date in correspondence its like: Feb 27th 2013. No ambiguity. No one has ever challenged me on it either. It is universally understood.

If you are in the HR department call your legal department. If you are not in the HR department, call HR.

I’m a vegan and love fake meat, I love tofu, I love seitan, I love beyond burger, I love mountains of veggies. I love bean burgers, veggie burgers, pakora, etc.

I’m an omnivore and love all of that too. I’d add tempeh and many mushrooms to that list too.

I do not like cauliflower in any other form than in its OG form, lmao…

Cauliflower leans closer to its cousin, cabbage. Its really easy to mess up cauliflower and make it taste and smell horrible.

I finally figured out how to really enjoy cauliflower rice, as a replacement in “fried rice”. You’ve got to get a lot of the water out of it first, then go high heat with a fat. I use butter, but you might be able to get away with avocado oil to stay vegan. Get that maillard reaction going so it browns up just a bit, add some soy sauce, add some diced veggies, and I throw in a scrambled egg I cooked earlier.

Is it identical to actual rice “fried rice”? No, but its close enough for me and is extremely cheap as far as calories go, about 90-120 calories per serving instead of 340 calories or so for actual fried rise. Cauliflower fried rice is also very on low carbs so its friendly to keto folks. Lastly, its also gluten free for our Celiac friends.

Every now and then Chipotle will have Cauliflower rice and it works pretty well with Mexican dishes too.

“Hey ladies… Ever been with a guy who can read?”

Not so fast. Assuming you’re referring to English, the year 1375 would probably put you in the Middle English period. You might not be able to read completely either.

Here’s a sample:

“I figure a guy that can time travel 650 years into the past can set something like that up”

I’d change that as : “Being an adult is mostly realizing you didn’t look as bad as you thought you did because the only person that was concerned about that was you. Everyone else was doing their own thing focusing on themselves, just like they are now.”

Fiber is, for the most part, indigestible, your body can’t really break it down into simpler sugars that it can make use of.

And just for clarity, just because humans can’t break those down doesn’t mean the entire animal kingdom can’t. So its fiber to us, but usable carbs for lots of other creatures.
