Until people outside the service industry have the same opportunity to get something extra, tipping culture can fuck right off.
I think that’s called bonus pay, I’ve just never seen a job that actually gave bonus pay.

At this point, I’ve come to expect that all of the products I like are going to be ruined at some point, so it’s about establishing enough independence to more easily transition to the next service.
Kagi’s great, and I’ll worry about finding a better search engine once it gets worse, but I don’t expect that to happen before my next renewal, so I’m happy.
This analogy doesn’t work for me. First of all, I’d absolutely watch coked esports. Secondly, glitched speedruns are absolutely a popular form of competitive cheating. Nobody would watch an aimbot competition because that specifically would be boring, it’d just be cameras jumping around and death screens. There’s no real competition happening. Wallhacks might be fun to watch - my favorite FPS Blacklight Retribution had that as a mechanic and it was great.
Figures we’d get runners. Can’t catch a damn break.
Just a heads-up, most of the advice I’ve seen is that letting them fight it out will just make the problem worse, e.g.: https://www.aspca.org/pet-care/cat-care/common-cat-behavior-issues/aggression-between-cats-your-household
Ultimately the best thing you can do is introduce cats over a period of weeks by rotating them between separate adjacent rooms. Supposedly this can still help even if they’ve already met.
Resident Evil Outbreak. They’ve remade so many games and added so much PvP to the series, but Outbreak was an amazing and very fun co-op game that flopped because it used PlayStation 2 internet. I loved the game even offline and think it was way ahead of its time, and a rerelease with today’s much more ubiquitous internet capabilities would be a hit, but they’re obsessed with PvP game modes that I’ve seen very few people enjoy and most people hate. It would also give us more Raccoon City to explore, which I felt like they glossed over too much in the RE2 and 3 remakes.
Basically I’m ok if AI gives suggestions, even at the top level, but there need to be people able to go “hol up, that’s not something we actually want” if it declares something stupid.
We need to be careful with this approach. SciFi has been warning us about letting technology take over our critical thinking for over a century, and based on human nature, I think it’s an inevitability to some degree. Once we normalize making decisions based on an AI’s input, it will become harder and harder to question them. Regardless of the AI’s “intent”, critical thinking is something we’ll need to continue to exercise, the same way we still go to the gym despite industrializing our hunting and gathering.
It would be one thing if people were just overhyping things, but a lot of the outrage was over how much they just blatantly lied while marketing the game. They promised a lot of specific things and then released something that was aesthetically impressive but ultimately outdone in just about every other category by sometimes decades old games, and lacked all of the groundbreaking features they marketed.
Personally, even coming back to it much later and trying to enjoy it at face value with all of its updates, it still felt like a boring and shallow GTA clone with a neon glaze. That’s not to mention the fact that it’s still frustratingly buggy.
I don’t know about keychains, but antistatic wrist straps are absolutely a thing and are very important for people who regularly work with electronic hardware. But I think you’re right in that these devices use a ground wire. There’s also antistatic bags, but again, it just protects what’s inside, and doesn’t discharge you unless it’s touching something else it can discharge to, I believe. Ultimately these are tools used mostly to prevent you from building up static while you work, and not really something you could just wear around the house.
YouTube recommendations are emblematic of a greater trend I’ve noticed in tech where instead of catering content towards us, we’re starting to be catered towards the content they want to show us. Managing your own subscriptions and keeping the things you don’t want out of your feed just keeps getting harder.
Doom II was probably the first game I ever saw and it made me ask for a computer. Got a hand-me-down pretty much the next day.
This is a summary.
Well, for one, when compared to other countries, the United States is pretty consistently lacking no matter what aspect of it you’re measuring. I wouldn’t exactly call that a standard. Maybe a minimum standard?
This is your only option. Managing your carbon footprint sounds like a great idea in concept, but the entire concept was created and promoted by oil companies to distract us from where the real damage comes from. Worrying about your own impact is noble but if you’re doing it to save the world you’re on the wrong track.
Exactly! I can’t even stand physical ads like billboards because the concept of reserving land for manipulating every passing person into buying something they don’t need is ridiculously perverse to me. Ads are an attack against my psyche and I will do everything I can to avoid them.
When I want to invest in a better product or look for something that solves my wants or needs, I research my options. I will never make my decision based on an obvious ad because they are intrinsically deceitful.
This is still an issue with Lemmy though. Ultimately, one instance’s community is going to be “the” community for a given topic, most likely because it’s on a popular instance, and at a certain point it’s going to devolve the same way default subs did. People who wouldn’t join r/SeaWa probably aren’t going to join [email protected] with 50 active users, either. Personally, I’m more inclined to choose r/SeaWa over r/Seattle because it sounds less official.
This seems more like an aesthetic issue than a real problem, and don’t get me wrong, I’m all for getting the community name you want on a different instance, but I don’t think that’s grounds for “Lemmy will never become a circlejerk”.
Did you even use Reddit? It has more political communities than you could count. Just because there’s only one r/politics doesn’t mean that’s the only community you can choose from. Reddit has a lot of problems, but this is not one of them.
Tyler’s Glamorous Wash. I used to buy the cheapest detergent I could find, and laundry was just a means to an end. Now I look forward to laundry because it freshens up my whole home for a week.
I’m talking out my ass here but I think outer space literally meant “outer area” as in the area outside of our planet, and we’re so used to that term that it’s turned into the proper noun Space. Earth (or whatever celestial body is your current frame of reference) is implied to be the inner space.
Dragon’s Dogma 2 really has me like that now. I’ve waited years for this, and for the most part it’s everything I expected. I love the new playable race, and I’m excited to try out the new vocations. I have a lot of fun just hunting monsters for other players’ followers’ quests, and finding things for them to potentially tell their own players about. In some ways it feels better than traditional multiplayer.
Also loving Helldivers 2, but now that I’ve unlocked almost everything it’s no longer all I think about all day.
