You might be younger or forgetting but before Obama it was George W., definitely not controversial… And before that there was more controversy. Americans have always had divisive elections, but there’s been a noticable uptick in the elections involving Trump.

Also it shows a lack of empathy. 9/10 times it’s not that the client is dumb, but that they’re unfamiliar with processes, recieved conflicting information, have other requirements you don’t know about, have personal things going on, or an endless host of other factors.

It could even be that you didn’t do your job properly in explaining or walking them through. Like if I was a customer and the client-facing representative was so fragile that he’d blow up in my face over a minor inconvenience, I probably wouldn’t feel comfortable asking for something explained a second time.

Personally, sixth thing is my favourite of the things.

“You will keep running drills until i say otherwise!”

Or contribute to society at all really

You mean the 50 hour freedom clock? One hour for each state, yee-haw!

I think the idea is so that the empty meat vessel looks tasty and fresh for the funeral.

I have an older phone which is probably why i see the wooden wheel. Rubber wheels hadn’t been invented yet.

They could call it something clever, like Google Earth.

I think the main thing is that people often hear bad things about the US because they’re comparing it to other developed countries. Like I wouldn’t want to live there because I live in a different developed country, but I would take living in the US over a good 80% of other countries.

The only time it works, is when it’s earned. The characters’ love finally triumphing after all the obstacles thrown at them is the only way I actually enjoy it.

Breakfast: lost to time.

Lunch: a morsel of raw squirrel meat.

Supper: 12 frozen hotdogs with mayonnaise and hollandaise sauce.

I would say people should only pursue fancy degrees if the jobs attached to those degrees would be your dream jobs. I don’t make a ton of money, but I make enough to not die of dysentery. I look at people making 2-3x what i make I have no envy because the life they live wouldn’t make me happy. When I was a kid, I read a study about rich people being less happy because their baseline is higher, making things overall less satisfying. Movies like American Psycho also highlight this. The chase for money, material things, or a legacy leads to emptyness, not happiness. However, when you spend your time doing the things you truly enjoy and excite you, you never waste a minute of your life.

While I agree, I can understand why it’s so Reddit-oriented. Mostly everyone who came here came from Reddit so news/ drama/ discourse about Reddit is relevant for the vast majority of people. The other reason is a lot of people just joined, so this whole topic isn’t as tired out for them.

I think it could be considered promoting if people are actively linking and sharing. Not to say it shouldn’t be created, but that’s probably grounds for a lot of instances to defederating (whether that’s a good or bad thing).

One big difference right now is that it’s a ton of small people donating their time and servers for this. So the costs aren’t as centralized and are spread over many people.

I saw a thread of instance owners talking about why they host, and some actually get free server usage through their work or run servers already and Lemmy only uses a small portion of that.

The equivalent to someone losing and breaking their controller in this scenario is them invading the other country.
