republicans have the right to be furious about things that aren’t happening, it’s in the Constitution

look, those boots aren’t gonna lick themselves

alt: every Republican accusation is a confession

college students are being indoctrinated = we’re trying really hard to indoctrinate everyone, and being even mildly educated is a problem for our dipshit ideology

yeah, there’s literally a quote from a Republican in the article complaining that it’s too easy for college students to vote

‘not deeply rooted in us history’

pseudointellectual horseshit of a justification. brownshirt philosophy is as stupid and shallow as usual

No? 1) I’m perfectly happy to say I don’t like tipping in general, too. I do it because that’s how we’ve apparently agreed service workers make any money at all. 2) I didn’t explicitly say I’m in the US, altho I did imagine our tipping culture to be a bit unique, so to be clear - I also don’t have much faith in labor laws getting consistently enforced here. 3) Who is getting tipped from self-service machine screens?

You can also take the smug armchair psych somewhere else, guy.

Yeah I have no idea who the tip even goes to sometimes.

And really in those cases, I assume straight to the business/owner. And then it’s like why am I volunteering to buy this at an additional markup?

what I get from this comment is that trees are the crabs of the plant world

edit ~ oh, yes, that’s actually more or less the central idea of your link and the first comparison made. I’m still working on my morning coffee…

Agreed!

People keep talking about the appeal of the megacommunities on Reddit, and I’m like… were they really that great? There was so much noise to sift through to get to anything real. Having decent discussions or building communities? Maybe if you’re in a small niche subreddit, but otherwise no.

Absolutely. I don’t think it’s really sunk in generally that the Fediverse is intended to operate fundamentally differently from a centralized system. An instance selectively (de)federating is how it’s supposed to work.

If the platform running as intended kills it, then there are big problems. I don’t think it will, but the user culture does have to change and incorporate knowledge of how the system works. We need to not have threads saying the Fediverse, a platform built on decentralization, needs to centralize as much as possible to survive.

Get paid up front or not at all with this guy. I dunno how anyone doesn’t know this by now.

There seems to be quite a few folks here that basically want the Lemmyverse to be Reddit with new management

Star Citizen still has fanboys?

Subdue the regret. Dust yourself off, proceed. You’ll get it in the next life, where you don’t make mistakes. Do what you can with this one, while you’re alive.

Oh Disco Elysium all the way, it’s possibly my favorite game. I have a notebook filled with lines in the game that stuck with me.

I want more of it, but it looks like that lightning won’t strike twice.

fwiw I did play it through twice, and maybe enjoyed it even more the second time - caught more of the little details
