Would be more valuable if you just posted the debate instead of trying very hard to make the reader take on your point of view.

Not saying I disagree with you, but this reads very proselytizing.

Actually no. How the fuck do you piss not into the toilet while sitting? That’s the big advantage of sitting down, that and the extra comfort, you don’t have to aim.

The only times this has ever happened was when I was completely hammered and didn’t sit down properly.

Honestly I don’t even see how this is physically possible. Unless you literally do not have a dick there should always be enough - let’s say range - available to bring the urine exit point below the toilet bowl edge.

I feel weird writing this down.

I too am desperate for gestures configuration.

I have used swiping in Apollo solely to move back / forward and find myself accidentally hiding or upvoting things as well. Swiping from the left screen edge works somewhat reliably to go back, but still is very inconvenient because it requires such a precise input I am not used to.

Boomers say that because historically, with increasing age people usually also managed to have some things they might want to conserve, like a home and some financial assets to cover their retirement. I’m in my mid thirties and the only feasible way for me to ever own a home is inheriting one. My retirement plan is to die in the revolution. I have nothing to be conservative about

It is mostly serious. There is plenty of scientific evidence on how car centric infrastructure, city planning and policies have destroyed walkable cities and require an in proportion extreme amount of space and accommodations. Cars as a means of transportation are wholly inefficient, you could put several dozen daily commuters into a single bus, multiple times that in a single subway train.

The only space where cars are not short term replaceable to great improvement of the general habitability of the area is in rural regions where distances are huge, people are spread out widely and communal infrastructure is simply too inflexible to accommodate the needs of the citizens.

I think the 196 community is the originator, though I already didn’t know what they were about when on reddit, I mostly find their posts confusing. From what I understand the (only) rule is that the post title must contain the word rule.

How to get engagement on the internet:

• post interesting, quality content ❌

• post false information to bait people into correcting you ✅

No worries, I just saw this pop up on my feed. Without further context it just seems very removed from reality for most people.

Is this a challenge for privileged “middle class” people? Anyone who is actually struggling for money lives like this all the time.

There is also a release notes link next to each update, which I personally find more convenient

Wouldn’t you say the second season was a take on bringing real world problems into Star Trek context? The dystopia reality is an authoritarian regime founded on racism, and the planet is dying from ignored climate change, only barely being held together by essentially giant force fields in the sky.

If anything I found it a bit too on the nose for Trek, though that impression might be colored by this being the first real life issue of my time that is a topic in Trek. When old Trek shows aired the first time I was just a little kid and missed most of those; so I can’t relate as much.

In my opinion they do not. When considering the meta userbase we really should spend more time thinking about the quality of those potential new additions than the sheer quantity. Right now, many things that make typical social media so annoying and uninteresting to me are not notably present on the fediverse.

No overt narcissism, less tiktok content, less utterly mediocre people talking into their camera about the most average and uninteresting things imaginable. In comparison the culture here is friendly and nerdy. I don’t think it will be improved by a massive influx of shallow, vapid crap.

My biggest gripe is that the all feed is not actually the all feed from across the fediverse, but a feed from all instances your instance is federated with. I understand why that is the case, but the fediverse really lacks a way to explore beyond your walled garden and its natural bias. Essentially this acts a mandatory content filter that I have not set up or opted in to, which I personally object to. I have the tools to show and hide what content I want to see, I don’t need it pre selected for me. Or at least give the the additional option to see a feed of all instances and communities across Lemmy / the fediverse I have not personally blocked or filtered out.

As a bald and bearded dude I hate that this guy ruined the aesthetic. At least I have lighter hair color so it’s not completely terrible. Is this what men felt when Hitler took the stache and made it his brand icon?

First place must be Control Priest. I know it is irreplaceable class identity at this point but it is firmly not fun to fight a deck that has copying (or even stealing) your own cards as a win condition, and besides that does not much but drawing cards and clearing the board two dozen times. If I play any kind of control deck I concede right there because it is an auto loss against my own stuff.

I also hate playing against enrage warrior, getting killed in two turns by a 30 attack remornia feels unavoidable.

I am still a bit miffed the name was changed at all, I liked the uniqueness of wefwef. The new one feels very generic in comparison

Interesting background knowledge that they were supposed to be gay, puts a lot of things into new perspective.

That being said, I don’t really like the idea, I enjoyed them as these unlikely but good platonic friends. I don’t think adding a romantic aspect to them would have improved their characters. For example Garak has many traits that could be interpreted as stereotypically gay, especially within the time period the show was produced. Him being a flamboyant and well spoken heterosexual works better to subvert cliches. Come to think of it, Bashir also isn’t the manliest of men. Which i also find more interesting for a heterosexual character.

Of course he should be held accountable, but I still don’t see how any of this is business of the public.

This is very tame and average relationship drama, most people act immature or selfish or otherwise not in the most text book kind of way when emotions are involved. He’s not beating her or gaslighting her or whatever other actual violence he could be inflicting on her, he just doesn’t want her to do bikini pics for the public while she is his partner.

Is he doing it in the most mature and respectable way? Possibly not. Is that even news worthy? Hell no

I have read this only now and don’t care enough about celebrities to delve deeper than this article.

Nothing in there sounds problematic to me. Dude expressed his boundaries (as in, non negotiable dealbreakers) and that’s okay. Of course it is gonna sound like an ultimatum if it is an ultimatum, why is that not okay? Why can a person not say “stop doing this or we can’t be together any more”? If it were something else than posting bikini pictures, for example an onlyfans account, is that enough to be a dealbreaker?

I wouldn’t want such a person as a partner myself either, regardless of how insignificant or petty the boundary is it should be respected and if that isn’t possible, move on.
