Funny how one instance is the one everyone wants to defederate from.

It's worse than just that. They argue that acknowledgement of Stalin's atrocities is Holocaust denial.

They are so scared and insecure they will lash out against anything that slightly challenges their beliefs. If they post sources it will be misreadings of fringe groups, or conveniently ignoring facts. Like how they believe tiananmen square wasn't a big deal because the China killed about 300 people a mile away. Or how Cuba is a utopia even though it's citizens chose to get run over by the coast guard instead of living there.

That's because you are weak. I bet you have a peanut allergy too.

I use scissors exclusively with my left hand just to point out to any lefty around that you don't need to buy special scissors.

It is!

Most companies make BS solutions for fake problems. Not going to the office exposes a large chunk of fake needs.

Do families really need two cars? If you aren't commuting every day, probably not.

Having more free time means people are more likely to cook and clean for themselves. Can't make money off of that.

How many suits do you need to own? None! You only owned them because you are supposed to wear them in the office.

Dry cleaners? No longer a bill.

Gas? When you aren't sitting in your cities parking lot of a freeway isn't bought as often.

Speaking of parking lots, you aren't paying for parking anymore.

Daycare and dog walkers aren't needed anymore.

Going up work is expensive and companies want us addicted to these fake expenses.

It's always good to mention "famously good" games. I played dark souls a year ago for the first time because of a post like this I saw.

To people who haven't played Undertale; you'll probably like it, it's very good.

I think the difference is that it's possible to actually engage with the community on Lemmy.

On Reddit if I see something I have a story or thought on there are already 5000+ comments. The only people responding to me are trolls and those with nothing to do but look for a fight.

On lemmy there might be 50 comments in 10 threads. Conversation can actually happen.

It's the difference between chatting at a party and shouting at a concert.

Just use them.

I know you want everything to perfectly make sense, but your players are there for a good time. Don't worry about minor details, just do cool stuff.

It's not easy.

When I feel myself rushing I try to think about why I'm in a rush and what I'll actually gain. Like maybe rushing through a task will let me play a video game or something, but what does that do? Let's me relax? Why not relax now and try to enjoy what I'm doing, or at least avoid having to do it twice.

The journey is the destination.

I have a problem with rushing through things. This has helped me slow down and appreciate what I'm doing. I'm not doing something so I can enjoy it after it's done, I'm doing it to enjoy what I'm doing.

Green. All other colors are objectively inferior.

Nonsense is a bit of a stretch.

The IHOP exists and is staffed whether or not you are there gorging yourself on pancakes. The rent and staffing is already being spent by IHOP. The factors that can contribute is if the amount of dishes you create make them run the washer an extra time and if the pancakes cool the griddle down enough to increase the cost of heating the griddle. Both of which are negligible.

The only extra cost is the batter itself.
