  • U.S. Automakers Risk Being Reduced to Niche Producers of Gas Vehicles

    Jump

  • Agreed. I've also seen a lot of hits (and sometimes runs ) in San Francisco. I haven't seen a Waymo hit anyone yet and they have been able to navigate people parallel parking on the street. Waymos are not the best but they haven't hit anyone and def know how to drive better than the average person in the city.

  • As someone who works in the bay area California. The Waymos are unfortunately better than most human drivers. It is noticeable....

  • 90% of Prostate Cancer Tumors Contained Microplastics

    Jump

  • Agreed. The technology is still new, evolving, or not there yet. I was at an aquarium only last month. They were showing me a machine where there are only 7 available in the US so far. The scientist only got it like 3 days before I spoke to her so she hadnt used it yet but it measures concentration of microplastics in the ocean and is specific enough to tell you what different microplastics are there and their likely sources. Really cool but this science is super new and in its infancy.

  • Day 3 of posting an indie game I found that I think looks cool - Super Battle Golf

    Jump

  • Oh no. Sorry! Yes my Lemmy has been having issues.

  • ‘Flattered. Thanks, JD!’: Eileen Gu claps back at Vance after criticism for representing China

    Jump

  • I'm not a JD fan but I don't really quite understand how and why she is representing China. She is Chinese American yes but per Olympic rules, she has to have citizenship in the country she is representing but it doesnt seem like she does?? China does not permit dual citizenship?

    Whats to stop other countries then from bribing other top athletes to represent them?

  • Lemmings who work in Emergency wards at hospitals, do you do therapy for work related issues?

    Jump

  • Oh. Yeah... Coworker issues can be universal no matter what industry lol. But yes! Continue to be there to listen to her and support her. Youre a great partner for asking the question! Therapy wouldn't hurt but its a very personal decision.

  • Lemmings who work in Emergency wards at hospitals, do you do therapy for work related issues?

    Jump

  • Well, I would ask her first how she is feeling. Assess, dont assume. I manage ED staff and honestly they're all okay unless there is a super super depressing case or a very difficult patient.

    Otherwise, they're fine and their work day is very normal for them. There's even a few that thrive in it.

    So unless her rant is about stress, maybe I wouldn't worry. Lots of people in the hospital just like talking about their day or venting. If it is about stress or something more, there's a lot of resources and interventions she can try/tap into: EAP, therapy, trying a different area in the hospital, etc.

  • Is there a general finance based community? I think consolidating all financial matters would be cool.

  • What are you playing this weekend? 2026-02-20

    Jump

  • Pokemon ZA. I'm almost done. Rank A. I am enjoying it. I actually have to use items in the game. I like the new battle system. Selection of Pokémon okay. My new favorite one is GoGoat

  • Pokémon FireRed Version and Pokémon LeafGreen Version are coming to Nintendo Switch

    Jump

  • I hated most new Pokémon games except Arceus, Snap and ZA. Didnt bother with SRVB and sword/shield is the absolute worse. I like za of all the new ones. Story, character and gameplay are solid. New areas open up and many ways to make it challenging.

    Bought used because I hate knowing Gamefreak could give us the game all us fans deserve: voice acting, better graphics, etc. But does not.

  • [OC] Lunar New Year Celebrations: Chinese-American Edition

    Jump

  • Happy Lunar New Years. A lot of Asian cultures celebrate, not just Chinese.

    The story behind the food, drinks, and money behind our ancestors is really interesting. I didn't know that the process lasts days and there's a whole "journey" until I was a little bit older.

    I'm an atheist myself but I still join in on these things. While I'm an American born it makes me feel closer to my family as they have always done it... Also who doesn't like red envelopes and well wishes for each other? I don't get red envelopes anymore but that's how I approach respectful people of different religions. Just engage and send my well wishes too. Celebrate and smile and learn what they day is about.

  • What's the most interesting/strange thing you've found when visiting other users' profiles on Lemmy or anywhere else?

    Jump

  • Also not so much internet profile but I read a book called Bury Your Gays by Chuck Tingle. Loved the book so looked up the author! I found it absolutely interesting and facinating all the self published erotica he does lol. He has some books about interspecies sexual encounters, encounters with objects, asexual themed books, you name it. Lol.

  • When I was a freshman in college there was a guy whose mom came with him to his first day. That was already weird as she doted on him. Added him on FB cuz just looking for friends in college in general. He had like 72 selfie pics of himself in an album. Think cringe 2000s mirror pics. Poor guy was also super dumb. He kept telling us his sister was fat.... After some deduction, myself and some other girls found out that his sister was just pregnant 🤦‍♀️

  • Steam Deal: Skyrim is 75% off till Feb 23rd. Will it go on sale again in March or should I just get it now?

    Jump

  • I got it for $3 like a few months ago. Even for $10 it's worth for the gameplay and hours you will sink into it. So its up to you. Do you want to play it now or later?

  • Two different people

    Jump

  • I unfortunately looked this up to see if its true. They both have a place in Puerto Rico

  • Despite anti-Musk protests, Tesla remains best-selling car model in CA by a wide margin for 2025

    Jump

  • Unfortunately I know at least two... One even voted Trump because she believed in some of the conspiracy theories and is not very well educated. The other just apathetic in general. They both have teslas before and feel like its a good product. Like another comment said, most people don't want to give up their services or products despite the consequences. I live in the bay and it also boggles my mind when I see new Tesla's. Most people driving those are also like Asian or Indian that I've seen....

    There is hope. I do also see many bumper stickers about being anti elon.

  • Have you ever loved somebody so much that you gave zero consideration to desiring anyone else, even in passing?

    Jump

  • I don't subscribe to this. I am happily married to my husband but understand love is very dynamic and monogamy isn't for everyone. There's also polyamory, asexuals, etc.

    On a more personal level, I don't desire anyone else and neither does my husband but we have a very healthy relationship with no jealousy. We are both secure and discuss attractability of others we sometimes find in passing (I.e. we witnessed a guy full sprint laps around us while on vacation walking around botanical gardens. He was a beast). If someone good looking, charismatic, or intelligent, that is just our perception of them.
