Pretty sure those are just traffickers.

Is your goal that we should just… not say this is illegal? Not argue that it’s not okay? Literally fold and accept fascism?

Because that seems to be the narrative you’re pushing, which is the polar opposite of constructive in this situation.

Super weird and suspect that every thread seems to be full of people saying this is normal. That this is just how it is, that it’s been going on forever, and that anyone who has an issue with it is being unrealistic. Really, really weird. Almost like they’re cryptofascists.

HMMMMMMMM.

This is what 0patch is for!

Also 0patch, which will continue to provide security patches for Windows 10 indefinitely.

This is valid and identifiable!

I have a reasonable sized freezer, not a huge one, but I feel like if I put a bag of ice in it I’d have very little space. Ice cube trays will leave you with more room.

I buy stuff that lasts. For bread, I find that rye takes weeks longer than white or wheat to start going bad, and bagels last ages too. I make smoothies with mostly frozen fruit. For dinner stuff, if I’m not feeling like cooking I either buy things I’m going to eat in the next few days or I get these sealed precooked things from Aldi that are great and keep well. Coconut milk also tends to keep better than cow milk and lately I’ve realized I greatly prefer it.

About the only things that are super perishable that I keep around are bananas and avocados, and I just tend to eat these a lot. I also keep spinach or kale around for my smoothies, but I rebag them into separate smaller bags as soon as I get them. If my bananas are getting overripe, they get frozen for smoothies.

I also tend to buy canned soups, which last ages.

When I was cooking regularly I’d make a lot of chilis and pasta sauces. They’re good to freeze and they keep well on their own. Chili is arguably better after freezing and having more time to develop.

You can definitely eat pretty healthy and keep plenty of food in the house without constantly chasing waste.

The energy tied up in all of that is so familiar. Just the entire vibe of senseless unmitigated cruelty and mindless nonsensical screaming hits so hard and reminds me so much of some of the shittiest people I’ve encountered in my life. What Joe describes feels like a horrible distillation of something that’s a lot more pervasive than any one ‘school’ or cult or particular group of organized assholes systematically ruining people’s lives. It hit hard. Thanks for sharing it.

Thanks! I’ll give it a shot!

They’ve been around since at least the 80s. Probably earlier.

Lemmy definitely feels like it’s declined a lot over the past year across the board. Every thread is a fight. I see a lot of Reddit style combative comments all over the place and I’m just less and less enthusiastic to be using it. I’ve tried a handful of instances, including places like Beehaw, and even there the level of hostility I see is absolutely unhinged.

What? I asked what makes you certain that the dock isn’t designed for it. If you’re certain, presumably you have a reason for this certainty and already know the specs from looking at it. I can’t see into your mind to know your motivation for making this assertion, which is why I asked.

I assume you have some expertise that makes this obvious to you, so would you like to share it?

I don’t know what planet you’re living on, but I like 3 pillows.

Presumably they’re not frozen in time. The post was made a day ago, so at least several hours before your comment, and the picture was probably not taken minutes before the post was made. I’d imagine they got out of the water long before any of us were aware that they were ever in the water. And given that the picture isn’t accompanied by a second picture of everything in the water or a story about them falling in, it’s reasonable to assume that nothing as notable as that happened.

What makes you say the dock isn’t designed to carry equipment?

It’s much more effective to fracture a group by pretending to be part of it than by leveling criticism from the outside.

Absolutely. It’s just getting more obvious as the tasks get more complex.

This just makes me think of Captain Planet. He knew how to solve these sorts of issues. By beating up assholes and making them stop.

These should be illegal. It’s just a way of outsourcing AI training to the general public for free.

If you already tip 20% and don’t complain about it you’re probably not one of the same people who don’t tip or tip minimally and complain about the price. I’ve gotten 50 cent tips on 30 minute cab rides while being paid half of minimum wage by people who complain about prices constantly. There’s a pretty wide range of attitudes and behaviors around tipping and treatment workers.
