you have four drip coffees and NO French or Turkish?
you'd be sleepy, perhaps for months or years, until you realize that a fulfilling life is not one spent in oblivion and you find a better way to use your time!
love random comments dismissing potentially good policy because "in my country" which you didnt name, it doesn't work
what kind of fucking scientist says "huh that attempt didn't work i guess it never will"?
You're not even going to tell us what country it is so we can see? probably not, because it is probably a shitty comparison.
and for the record, parent comment was downvoted because it's fucking stupid. there's no UBI in this post. it's as if i take a day off and go to the park and say "Hmpf this is why UBI doesnt work!" like what the fuck are you talking about, UBI is not just when lazy day. the only thing that could make this post dumber would be calling me triggered for pointing out how dumb it is
So your brilliant mind sees someone emphasizing how little work they have by saying they watch movies and you think "Hmpf, that's probably what UBI is like!"
And now because you think it, it's evidence? Fuck right outta here chump.
Having two jobs is fraud? What....?
Have you never heard of Overemployment? There are people out there working multiple easy WFM jobs and just raking in three incomes.
You're allowed to have two jobs lol
I would love to hear someone leverage this negative review as cleverness in an interview though
Why you askin Lemmy what normal people do?!
Marketers: "So what you're saying is, the problem is that the ad was not personally relevant to you??? Can we collect more of your personal data to give you ads based on who we think you are?" skin cream
I recently tried to watch sports. It was fun but disgusting. The biggest racket I've ever seen. $80/month to watch Baseball?! $17,000 for World Series tickets?!
I always thought not wanting to watch sports was a choice. Apparently you can only watch sports if you're a fucking millionaire.
I mean, read the post? They explain themselves pretty well there. Or are you linking it with hopes we'll brigade or something?
Lemmy hate comes down to two or three things: they don't like communists, or they're confused by it. Or they're waiting for it to be bigger.
Well apparently not it wasnt enough. Either the wet turd wasn't enough or they didn't do better than one. Either way, you're acting like a Democrat right now. "It's the voters who are wrong!"
I'm sorry what? You never lived in the US and yet you're gonna say what you think the solution to tipping culture is? Look I try not to assume that people are American but the alternative to you not being American and making a post like that is you being fucking stupid. Why not just tell people "Just move?"
Although I guess to be honest when I thought I was responding to an American I thought you were an absolute knob too, so maybe you just have that vibe of "I talk confidently about things I don't understand"
Isn't that how the Nazi camps turned into death camps? Originally they were just saying to deport the jews, take back the country, blah blah, and then they realized how absolutely brutal it is to forcibly migrate millions of people so they turned to labor and executing the excess. Await a fact-check from a better informed WW2 scholar than me though
the right to "kill babies" is probably what you're fishing for us to say, right? very clever.
or maybe the way he campaigned on "you wont need to vote anymore"?
Definitely thought this was a statement on Amish Pennsylvania at first... cuz that's just how markets look like there lol
hey the waiter doesnt carry the food, the runner does that
the waiter asks me how im doing every 5 minutes and upsells me drinks and excess food. now that is special
Is "food" a social construct?
Hear me out. There's nothing innate to an object that makes it "food". It's an attribute we give to certain things that meet certain qualities, i.e. being digestible, nutritious, perhaps tasty or satisfying in some way, etc. We could really ingest just about anything, but we call the stuff that's edible "food". Does that make it a social construct?
How to unfilter keyword?
I accidentally added something to the filtered keyword list and i dont see a way to remove it.
(Please don't include the word "fat-taco" in your response...)
Help me understand Voice Recognition tech
Help me understand Voice Recognition tech
I am interested in getting an app that would allow me to make notes via voice-to-text. I work in a field with HIPAA protections. I'm having trouble figuring out the nuances of privacy related to these apps.
First off, is this kind of software considered "AI"? How does it even recognize that a sound equals a word? Do they use LLM tech? Does the tech learn to recognize my voice better over time? Does it use my recordings to learn to understand other's voices? Is this all a black box? How can I take precautions such that no one except me hears the things I transcribe?
This is just such confusing tech! It seems like it's fairly old and common but the more I think about it in relation to current age AI, the more creeped out I get! And yet my doctor uses one regularly... I'll be asking her about it too, don't worry.
Thank you!
is there no way to rotate landscape gifs?
I appreciate all the hard work you do, but this is a hard No for me. I can't use an app that forces me to view landscape gifs in portrait mode. Is a rotation button a feature you'd consider?
I dont like video games with story
Someone told me to post this here and that's all I got to say.
My popular opinion is that I don't like this flavor of subcommunity
Rendering Tr as Chr ?
Huh! In my speech, the Tr in "tree" or "trigger" is really close to Chr as in "chree". In fact to pronounce "chree" I have to aspirate so hard to distinguish it from /tr/.
Is this common? [ˈt͡ʃɹi:] instead of [ˈtɹi:]? Why does this happen? Is there something about going from a plosive to an approximant that creates an affricate?
Practicing advanced Sudoku techniques - anyone see anything fun here?
I'm working on becoming familiar with wings, chains, uniques, and all the sea animals and skyscrapers. Whatcha see here?
What should I do with old electronics?
I got a box full of a bunch of stuff from over the years. Some big, some small, some expensive, some cheap. It seems like a shame to throw it all in a landfill, with or without personal data.
When old.reddit.com dies, how will Lemmy grab more users?
I don't see Old Reddit lasting long. They've cut beloved features before, and they're still calling New Reddit a "beta feature". After they've pumped enough resources into developing it, I'm sure they'll move past the "test" phase and just cut Old Reddit out entirely. That's probably going to be Lemmy's next big user surge.
Does Reddit suppress mentioning Lemmy? I remember for a while this past June 2023 there were a lot of auto-deletions for mentioning or linking to Lemmy. I was never clear on who was deleting things and where. I guess linking to the r/Lemmy subreddit (or a fediverse sub) could work as long as the subreddit doesn't get banned.
I accidentally clicked the sub and now I gotta post
Surprised this place doesn't have more shitty posts like this one if ppl actually followed the rule
Talking Over Women
Assuming that boys are socialized to be more confident, bold, and outspoken, the end result is that men will end up talking over women. In an open forum setting, such as a professional or educational one, when the floor is open to anyone, it seems like men are more likely to speak up first.
Part of me thinks, "Well, anyone can speak if they wanted to! If I can count to ten and still be the first to talk, then so be it!" But part of me also wants to help uplift others and give them a chance to speak.
How might men navigate this?
Glad to see the PD community here!
Really nice to see players like all of you AND devs like Evan showing up on Lemmy. It's been sad to see so many game subs stick to Reddit this year. It's honestly been kind of slap in the face to see a place like r/Terraria sticky this big protest automod message to the top of every thread but not make any kind of move to relocate here.
Just wanted to show some appreciation to the PD crowd!
Several months in and core functions still missing
No gatekeeping on links. I click a link and it opens instantly without giving me a chance to view URL. Malware inc.
Cannot properly view parent comments/context when reading inbox replies. If I get a reply to something and I cant remember what i said, I have to dig through the entire comment section of the original post. my parent comment doesn't appear half the time, it's inconsistent. and if I have several replies to one comment, there's no way to navigate to my parent comment and all its replies; I can only view one comment thread at a time if navigating from inbox, or all comment if navigating from OP.
does anyone know if any other lemmy apps have these basic functions?
