I got my first one of these when I was 21 and in the best shape of my life. Accidents, injuries, and unpreventable diseases happen, and acting like your comparative good luck means you've made better choices than those who have been less lucky by implying they've been "unhealthy as hell" is kind of gross.

Not to mention, the damn sun here, it gets absolutely hot here at times, even I don't see myself walking halfway to the other part of the parking lot just to leave a cart when I already walked all the way from the entrance carrying all of my groceries, I don't see myself returning in that case.

Lost me here, nope, nooooope nope nope nope. The weather is the least justifiable excuse -- Someone has to walk all that way to return that cart in the hot sun if you don't. If anything, making someone else do it is worse because of that weather.

I also saw you throwing out "but they have employees who do that" in another part of the thread. You wouldn't throw trash on the ground instead of walking it to a can just because a place has a janitor, I'm sure. It's exactly the same logic, and the reason you wouldn't ruin a janitor's day is the same reason you shouldn't ruin a cart collector's day.

I get that your local shop sucks for only having one corral. I really, truly do. But you know what I do when my closest store has practices I can't deal with? I don't make someone else clean up after me, I take my money elsewhere.

A friend of mine, who I know for a fact is a woman, made an offmychest post venting about a serious domestic issue and had people doubt the entire story as fiction, made up just to make a man look bad and watch how the internet soothes a fake woman, based solely on the fact that she said, at one point, "I'm a small female so..."

But like... despite her skill with the language, she literally only speaks English online, so she doesn't know all the nuances. This kind of language connotation judgment is never fair unless the context makes some kind of demeaning intent very, very clear.

I can’t even tell most of you people apart.

Have you ever considered maybe that's the point? Maybe people want to be judged for what they say instead of what image they had on hand when they signed up?

I uploaded a pic while playing with all the shiny features over here, but I was faceless on reddit for years after their introduction of profile pics, because I was there to have discussions, not build a profile. And the one I picked here? It tells you almost nothing about me unless you already know the character in the image, which only people who have a similar niche interest might.

This is like whining about women who don't wear makeup, because "If you have the option why not just snazzy it up with a ~~couple of images~~ tiny bit of eyeshadow. I think it’s shows a bit of personality." Sometimes the active decision not to bother with cosmetic features IS the personality you're looking for.

Acclimatization is a whole thing. I remember thinking 65F / 18C was cold once upon a time, then I moved north and now only bother putting on a jacket if it's below 40F / 5C or so (but now I start seriously suffering above 85F / 30 C where that used to be my ideal temp).

People who pretend certain temps are objectively not that cold or hot have never moved from one climate to another, I think. The person you replied to must be from a hot area.

Celcius really isn't that hard to get used to if you stop getting hung up on conversions and just live in it for a while. Faherenheit also isn't as hard to get used to as people meme it to be. It's all about what you've spent a significant enough time in to get the data points for how stuff feels to you.

Either scale would be second nature to anyone after a year in a new home. I made the change np. I never do conversion math, I just know what it feels like outside and can ballpark the number I remember having a similar feeling in the other place. It's really not a big deal and not worth all the internet yelling that goes on about it.

I just love these near-daily reminders that the "new car smell" of kbin and lemmy is starting to wear off, as people stop being kind and fall back into old habits... like taking a flippant comment to its most extreme possible interpretation despite it being clear that wasn't even close to the intent.

The sole purpose of Zoom is to collaborate over long distances. The CEO of Zoom says it's too hard to build trust, innovate, or debate on Zoom. He didn't qualify the statement as "you can't build trust, innovate, and debate when all collaboration is done entirely on zoom," and neither did I. Taking it to that new context is the same as taking it out of context, intentionally, so that you can be right on the internet. Stop it. Bad commenter. Bad. Down.

It's astounding how universal this hatred is. No one likes these things except the people who think it saves on labor costs (which, does it even? they're replacing a menu that was already automated...)

It doesn't even take swearing for some of them - I had one earlier this week that hung up on me when I tried pressing zero to see if that got me anywhere. Touchier than humans.

So because backups exist, everyone should be okay with buying bad hardware?

I know you're not actually saying that, but countering "this is a known firmware fault" with a reminder that backups should be done sure makes it look like you're saying that. There's still value in making sure consumers' money goes to products that last.

Nobody can read it, check the source of your comment.

Correction: No one browsing through your specific server can read it. The rest of us see it just fine.

From where I'm sitting, it seems like the filter is applied (a) when a lemmy.ml user makes a post (it strips it from the source and says removed for everyone) and (b) when lemmy.ml federates another instance's comment over (source instance and any other non-censored federated instance has the word intact, ONLY you guys don't see it).

Come see!

So I think super like is misleading

It's literally not. Over here, on top of the "repost to your profile under your boosts section" functionality it's intended to have, it also counts as 2x rep for the poster. It really, truly is also a "super-like."
