I don't put any nuts in my mouth, thank you.

That's why I said I wasn't sure and that I was asking for clarification?

hold on, im a communist and i love golf

Memes have become a sort of coping mechanism/method of communication, and it just reflects the the broader state of the world around them.

Places like Lemmy have becomes bastions for people to share their thoughts and opinions, because the overwhelming consensus is the acknowledgment of being helpless and this is a way to vent and share (what should be) obvious solutions to the problems we're facing.

Sure, we go out and vote and talk to friends and family about the things we can do to make change, but we're not in the class of people to make that change happen.

So I say fuck it, post away the neo-nilhism memes, I'll upvote em and laugh away the enormous issues the world has.

It really depends on where you worked I guess. My company was understaffed and worked us to the bone before, during, and after the pandemic.

I'd like to have that number of people working to keep the workloads lower, but costs are costs and they gotta cut from keeping going under.

And God forbid the CEOs take a paycut and make up the pay of 20 people themselves.

/s, just in case.

I live in Canada, so...

Doesn't have anything to do with $20k being absurd, but...

Outer Wilds, 100%. It might be missing the mark a little bit by the end, but it never demands anything more than your curiosity to discover. More than likely, it will make you want to explore every nook and cranny.

And definitely go in completely blind and enjoy the story.

Ninja edit: Outer Wilds is absolutely phenomenal, my comment about it missing the mark is purely based on you looking for a chill game. It is very chill all the way through, until you really start digging in and it wants you to explore everything.

The reasons might be fine, but my opinion is that is whole thing is a little bit... Blown out of proportion.

Just on a couple of your points:

• The muscle memory point is very valid, but that boils down to not liking change for changes sake. Muscle memory can always be rewired, and it will take less time than you think it will.
• The discrepancy between desktop and mobile has always been there, imo. So many of the desktop features were crammed away into menus and submenus that were hard to use on mobile. With a new mobile-centric design, we may not know where everything is yet, but it'll likely be easier to access once we get more familiar with it.

The other thing for me is that Discord is the messaging app I prefer, by a long shot. If they see this as an opportunity to add SMS linking to their feature set, and allow users to then also bridge those from the mobile to desktop version, it would solve a lot of communication issues I have, having everything in one place.

It's a welcome change in my book.

Upper management in the hot seat, as usual. What did he do this time?

Yo I think he's meme-targeting me.

Clearly you are trying not to make a big deal about it, and I respect that, but maybe make a pinned post on BoostForLemmy? Make sure you're not actively trying to fleece people?

This. And the same goes for work in general. Doing work only has value because we attached money to it. People saying that scanning your own 10 items at the grocery store is labor and you should be paid accordingly... I'll always respect peoples' opinions and values, but something has to give if we feel as a society that that is worth compensation.

That is to say, the free labor for the corporations is not lost on me, I'm just thinking bigger picture. The budding socio-anarchist in me wants to burn the system to the ground and watch what rebuilds.

We were doomed from the start, damn those dank river valleys for establishing commerce and social hierarchy!
