More concerning is that so many romantic movies contain an element of cheating.. IE the main characters meet while one or both are seeing someone else and often don't break it off with the other person. In the comedies they are often sneaking around and not getting caught is played for laughs.

To be used in most recycling programs you would need to fully remove the foil lid, and rinse out every k-cup before depositing them in recycling.

McDonald’s Angus Burger , only burger they sold for several years that didn’t taste like cardboard.

Lemmy is public, no one is going to want to use it for discussion of those topics.

Cost of living has skyrocketed, wages have hardly budged, and people are really, really struggling.

True.. However it does appear to be slowing a bit for both the US and Canada

People’s standards of living are decreasing

Famines are already being massively exacerbated by climate change, you just don’t hear about them because they’re happening in poor countries.

There is far less poverty in the world today than in the past.

Everything points to all our previous warnings about climate change being incredibly conservative.

Probably true, but we also appear to be on the edge of a massive move away from fossil fuels to renewables with the cost of solar dropping, grid level battery systems replacing old coal / natural gas peaker plants etc and the move is no longer just about the "environment" these technologies are in some ways superior or cheaper as well which will accelerate adoption

Only thing that is worse in my mind is the "media" no longer news and "social media" both are largely negative and both are full of misinformation these days.

Housing costs may also be a negative..

Other than that MOST things seem better, we just can't enjoy anything since the media/social media keeps telling us what we should fear and hate.

Not factoring in the monthly fee? Cost per Oder ? Tip?

Most restaurants you call ahead and just pickup your order when it is ready. Gas food places almost all have online order apps to do the same.

It is convenient but if you are using these services multiple times a month you are spending WAY more on dining out

In general ordering direct and doing pickup is WAY cheaper than any of the delivery options.

All of my kids messages are super short or emoji filled, my wife, friends and older contacts all text to text me full paragraphs or sentences.

Need some examples

Proton is built on top of wine for windows compatibility. The wine project has been very careful to independent build its compatible versions of libraries. There should be no Microsoft code in wine.

Interesting how MS is the reasonable one here where all their copilot stuff clearly separates paying business from free consumer stuff for training / not training.

However slack has gone and said they will train on everything, and ONLY the paying companies can request to opt out.

Too bad so sad for all those small dev teams that have been using the "free" version of slack.. No option to opt out.

Other states are irrelevant only the true condition implied matters, it is or isn’t that one state.

is_person_standing, is_standing, bStanding all tell you if someone is standing or NOT standing. Nothing else period. It does not matter if there could be other states as the test is one specific case.
