As someone who’s mexican I encounter that more than one would think since I have 2 last names and it gets weird sometimes since I also have a middle name.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•If Trump wins the election thru fraud how can the democrats refute it and prove they won? Or will it just be like another Jan 6 and four years of whining like Trump?
61·2 years agoSee I wouldn’t be to sure. There’s plenty of left leaning people who would fight to help restore the US. In the armed forces and by in large they have higher positions. Not necessarily higher as in commander positions but just non grunt ones. At least from what I hear from the friends and family I have in the various branches of the armed forces.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Did the concept of 9-5 included a 30 minute lunch and two 15 minute breaks?
5·2 years agoDepends on the state, in my state you legally have to get paid for 30 minute lunches but not hour long lunches. No idea why but because of this most office jobs will give you an hour lunch in addition to your mandated 2, 10 minute breaks.
Honestly I would love to just take a 30 minute break and get out earlier. It’s not even about the money.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What's the term for someone that likes Jesus of Nazareth, but doesn't identify with church, religious dogma, or whatever?
3·2 years agoI’m agnostic. I believe there may or may not be a god (regardless of religion) and that we may or may not find proof once we die but while I’m alive I’m just gonna live the best life I can with my own values. If Jesus was alive today I believe we would be homies, dude seemed chill.

World News@lemmy.world•Trump secretly sent Putin rare Covid tests at pandemic’s height, book reveals – WPEnglish
1·2 years agoExactly. Like he couldn’t have gone straight to the local factory and grabbed some if he really couldn’t get any, or straight to the airplane as it arrived with tests.
Dungeon crawler Carl for anyone wondering. A very fun and entertaining audio book with an amazing voice actor.

111·2 years agoI would argue the kids are more exposed to douches like tate because all algorithms fucking push that controversial shit for the views for every pro lgbt post pushed there’s gonna be 10 tates pushed.
I’m not arguing for or against what stralia is doing but something needs to be done about social media pushing all that bad shit.

31·2 years agoThey’ve already announced that they’re converting a ton of 711s here to be more like the Japanese ones including using the same suppliers. I hope we get it, Japanese conbinis are on another level.

politics @lemmy.world•Harris campaign releases new ad to highlight plans to build 3 million homes and reduce inflation
1·2 years agoHardly any houses for sale doesn’t mean there aren’t plenty of empty houses available. They’re just fucking bought up by corpos to sit on as investments or for rentals.
I just found out it’s called professional line and it’s a thing. A streamer I watch has a mostly adult community and without fail every time he puts out a merch line there’s people asking for the professional line. Its basically the clothing blanks with no mayor logos and maaaaybe a tiny monogram somewhere that blends in.
Granted his shirts aren’t usually just solid color so a professional line makes sense, they have some sort of pattern or are dyed in weird ways and then have his art on it. He hasn’t put out merch with just his name since the early days, it’s actually cool stuff now.
That’s why I go out of my way to support the Lil guys when possible. Wish more had better merch vs logo on generic t.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•If "Master/Slave" terminology in computing sounds bad now, why not change it to "Dom/Sub"?
2220·2 years agoFuck I don’t get your downvotes, you’re right. I get people want to vent but in the greater scheme of things having to use different words to be a smidge more inclusive isn’t that big of a deal or effort considering what some of us do to help our friends be accepted.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Do any "thickening" products actually work to prevent hair loss/thinning?
2·2 years agoI’m in my early 30s and started taking hims about a year ago. I’ve definitely seen regrowth of hair in my slightly receding hairline, but it’s just the more ‘recent’ stuff that had started falling out. I saw about a third of an inch regrowth, it isn’t full on thick regrowth but it’s enough to make a difference in how my hair looks.
I started taking it because it was as easy as just taking a pill in the morning, if it had been more involved like creams and stuff I wouldn’t have bothered. My hairline wasn’t all that bad either before tbh but I figured this product was to help keep it that way so I went for it.
If anyone is interested it’s worth checking out their website for information about how it works and seeing before and after pics of people who take it.
It’s a doctor prescription and you can do everything through the app including getting prescribed through in app texting with the doc.
I’ve also heard biotin pills help, these are otc and my hims prescription actually include some too. I can’t verify how much they help by themselves but people online seem to think they do, it might be worth starting with some research there if a doctors prescription is too involved for you at this time.
Same as reddit, every instance can choose to just start monetizing if they wish and even stop being part of the fediverse. If they get too big and decide to do it then it’ll be a blow to the content on all the fediverse. That’s why it’s better to spread out a bit more to avoid one big instance controlling the whole.




Something that could happen in Mexico for a name is Juan Maria as a first, Guillermo David as a middle and Gonzales De Mercado as a last name. Technically 7 words and totally a thing but not common at all, anymore at least.
