The Mistle-Tones. It’s so bad, and I love it so much! It’s a family tradition now to get high and watch it every year, and it’s my favorite tradition.

The tide will destroy my sandcastle and it’ll be forgotten, but it can’t take that I did it anyways.

I love this so much.

In a comment you mentioned you’re the team lead. Maybe you already are, but just in case: stop thinking about it in terms of the individual personal relationship and start thinking about it in terms of the team dynamic. It’s unlikely this only affects you, so even if their individual work performance is fine, does their behavior affect other people’s performance or happiness at work? If it’s affecting others negatively it’s your responsibility to protect them and their work output, even if that means finding a new team for this person or documenting a path to letting them go altogether.

I don’t envy you. Good luck.

I get that. It makes logical sense. It’s just that corporations have so much power to impose their will and it feels weird to me that we let them do that even when it comes to how a human presents themself.

I agree, but then I started thinking “why the hell do I think it’s so reasonable for a corporation to strip away the humanity of its employees” and I’m not sure where I’ve landed now.

Lego Batman. If you haven’t seen it, go; go now.

I’ve always used the version “Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good.” Didn’t know there were so many ways to say it!

That’s the dream right there.

There’s something interesting in here about the persistence of legacy systems that I can’t quite put my finger on. Rest assured I will be consumed by the thought for the remainder of the day.

On Kbin I search for this: @trendingcommunities @ feddit.nl (no spaces)

And subscribe to the community/magazine in the search results.

For you it’s probably available at: Lemmy.world/c/trendingcommunities

My guess is to get better pricing at their bank for the ACH they’re probably already using and reduce the CC network fees they’re paying. Just a guess though.

They’re cute until the terrible fourty twos.

There was a study done on this kind of mentality. Researches invited pairs of players and before each game flipped a coin to designate one player rich and the other poor. The rich player was then given more money and an easier set of rules. At the end of the game they interviewed the player that inevitably won, and in all cases the players reported that they won because of key decisions they made while playing. Not one mentioned they got lucky with the coin flip.

Mission accomplished

I was digging into this question and only found that it might be leftovers of whatever they feed the cells (which also no longer includes anything from live or harvested animals, which is cool). CYA covers that and so much more so I think you’re right.

I don’t know that there’s actual appeal outside of the fact that the format seems to be optimized to give our lizard brains the quick hit. There isn’t anything inherently wrong with divided attention - we don’t think it’s bad when we’re having a conversation while watching fish in a pond, for example - but I think Vine, Snapchat, TikTok, YouTube Shorts et al are the result of years of data corporations honing in on capitalizing our attention.

The most permanent solution is jank that works.
