I’ll bet there is a website that calculates this stuff…

There is. Have fun!

Damn, that’s sad. I have nothing but pity for anyone who considers themselves a “true” or “professional” sea lion.

When I’m not sure, I just give them the benefit of the doubt. For example, there’s a good chance that the person replying to me speaks English well, but it’s not their first language. Also, their cultural norms might be very different from my own. It could be a simple misunderstanding, too. Overreacting would just make things worse.

When it’s obvious that the person replying is just being a pedantic nuisance, though, I merely stop responding. They may think they’ve “won”, but so what? I can go to bed knowing I don’t waste my time sealioning.

Everything it says is shit

They’re talking about the money. It’s the income that’s renewable, not the company.

Suzy Welch, an NYU business professor, previously said the trend is fuelled by Gen Z’s “strong desire to avoid anxiety at any cost” because they haven’t made hard decisions or done hard things.

Theory: Suzy Welch emerged from a pod as a fully mature adult, and never experienced puberty or high school.

Because he’s my nephew. I care about him. He’s only in high school, he’s saving up for one, and I don’t want him to be disappointed/frustrated and waste his money on a crappy printer. If I can steer him away from bad printers and software, great!

I also don’t want him to be discouraged. He’s smart, talented, and basically I want him to kick ass everything he does (I know that’s unrealistic, but hey, that’s the uncle in me talking). Plus, being good at 3D printing will be a valuable skill.

I made fun of one of my friends for reading trashy romance novels. She just shrugged and said “I know they’re terrible, but I like them.” She was very calm and matter-of-fact about it. She wasn’t embarrassed, and didn’t try to defend herself.

I felt like a jerk, but since then I’ve remembered not to criticize someone’s harmless personal hobbies. If they’re not hurting anyone, why be cruel and take enjoyment away from people?

Do I really have to explain that if people own fewer pets, there will be less demand for pet related products?

I’m done wasting my time on this.

OP isn’t suggesting killing pets, and I’m sure not, so I don’t know where you’re getting that dramatic, emotional idea from. Since you don’t have any pets, and you’re already trying to reduce your impact on the environment, we all appreciate your efforts!

If anyone is thinking about buying a pet, though, think twice. Things may seem okay for now, but humanity is going to have to live MUCH more efficiently in order to survive.

There’s always gonna be “a better place to start first”, no matter what the suggestion is. That’s a popular delaying tactic, and it’s part of the problem. At least this is something we can control ourselves, instead of waiting for governments/corporations to act.

This was an interesting read, but I’ve got stuff to do today, so I skipped the 90 minute video on their “outrageously ambitious mission”. Anyone care to summarize?

One of my best friends was a recruiter with a major company. It was her first job after graduating college. One of her major frustrations? People who would write “see resume” on the application which was full of repetitive questions that were answered by the resume.

“But I don’t even have their resumes! That’s why the questions were on the application!” I wanted to ask (and should have asked) why don’t you, the recruiter, have the resumes? If you don’t have them, then where did they go?

Telling people what they want always works out well. So does ending your post with a remark encouraging downvotes. Congrats.

I’ve read the book several times, and seen the movie twice. The film is excellent, and captures the “feel” very well. Don’t worry about blasphemy. You gave the book a fair, honest chance (and while the story is widely praised, the writing is not. You aren’t alone).

No need to deny yourself a great film! I’m excited for the sequel!

I just learned this yesterday, and still can’t believe it. How can it not support hashtags? How do you find anything? Do they plan on supporting hashtags in the future, or are they on some kind of idiotic anti-hashtag crusade?

My nephew wants to buy a 3D printer, and I’d like to warn him. I’m worried that I’m too ignorant to do it effectively, though.

What is a slicer? What is Cura?

Thanks in advance, folks!

Fuck you, Palworld, here comes Donald Duck with a shotgun.

This is by far my favorite answer.
