  • Women of Lemmy, do you mind being called cute?

  • In the context you've given, sure! I like it but I have trouble believing people when they say it.

  • obesity

    Jump

  • Not saying that the person in the post is correct in conflating those words, I don't think that's accurate at all.

    However, it is disheartening to see so many ill-informed comments about fatness here... It's way, way more complicated than just "calories in/calories out". Even the extent to which it's unhealthy is more complicated; obesity is linked to higher risk of heart disease, but also linked to higher probability of surviving strokes/etc. A lot of the problem stems from the fact that BMI is a nearly useless metric.

  • Makes sense to me, nothing to add! I hope the fediverse gets better for marginalized people...

    Unfortunately Lemmy being a reddit-like platform, there's likely gonna be a bunch of reddit-like people in these comments saying reddit-like things that go against one or all of these guidelines.

  • One of my boyfriends is in the middle of forcing me to watch all of Naruto, and honestly I hate it so far? Once you're a couple seasons into Shipuden they interrupt every single episode of actual progress with like 5 episodes of unnecessary flashbacks. Also the message is terrible, it's misogynistic as hell and damn near fascistic.

    For the One Piece fans here, I'm getting the impression that it's like almost exactly the opposite. Is that true? If so we're watching that next for sure.

  • What things would you standardize globally if you were the Supreme Leader? All violations punishable by death.

    Jump

  • I do! We have them where I live and this has happened to me too lol. I like to consider it a sign of trust that they're willing to get that close to me, even though it's more likely they're just kind of oblivious. Although, they do have the best eyesight of any centipede... so who knows!

  • What isn't illegal but should be?

    Jump

  • I feel like my answer might break AskLemmy's rule 2 about "Overt Politics", but so do a lot of the other answers? Feel free to delete if so.

    As far as the current American system goes... nothing. By and large, even laws that seem good are mostly only used in service of the elites, against the people. Consider this series of events:

    • In 2015 a white supremacist in South Carolina commits a mass shooting, killing 9 people.
    • In 2017, the Georgia state gov expands the state's domestic terrorism laws, directly in response to this shooting, because the previous version wouldn't have covered it.
    • In 2022, this expanded law gets used... against people protesting police brutality, who hurt no one, despite the fact that the cops killed one of them.

    Unfortunately, this general sequence is not uncommon at all. Neither is the inverse, where the bureaucrats/judges/etc decide "that doesn't count, actually" when it comes to an elite very clearly breaking an existing law, or else changing the law so it doesn't apply to them in retrospect.

  • Please be nice to house centipedes, they're friends. They won't hurt you.

    EDIT: Sorry OP, I shouldn't have assumed any ill will, you seem cool!

    I'll go on a date with you, if you want! ☺

    Who else hasn't voted in presidential elections in years?

    Jump

  • I have voted twice a year, ever year, for the entire time I've been old enough. That said, I really can't remember the last time I actually expected any meaningful change from it... Electoralism is a bandaid at best, and a distraction at worst. At least in the U.S., maybe it's different elsewhere.

  • Aside from all the very valid criticisms everyone else has pointed out, there's one thing that always made it totally unusable for me... When you open the app, the very first thing it does is show your front-facing camera?? What kind of unhinged behavior is that, are they trying to ruin my day?!

  • Does anyone here NOT hate Google?

    Jump

  • This kinda conflates hate for the unethical practices of the company with hate for the quality of their products, which seems unfair. As a company they're definitely bastards. There was a long, long period of time where their products were pretty unquestionably top-notch compared to everything else out there. However, for a while now everything has been going really downhill. Then recently it's really accelerated, especially with them leaning into AI. These days I hardly even miss them anymore.

  • Tell me something interesting about yourself

    Jump

  • I think my biggest suggestion might be to try to avoid the huge industry of companies selling "makerspace" stuff to libraries, i.e. GlowForge, etc. All of it is wildly overpriced and underpowered, at the supposed tradeoff of having a lot of support. It's a bad trade, the support isn't worth it.

    Try to build your own open source equipment, like Voron for 3d printing, OpenFlexure for microscopes, all the Precious Plastics designs for plastic scrap processing, etc. Building these from scratch is ultimately cheaper. Also, it means you'll know how to fix anything that could possibly go wrong, since you know it inside and out

    Don't worry about not having the necessary skills/experience. It's all very learnable by anyone, and also there are definitely members of your community with those skills willing to help out. On that note, you really want the community running this thing more than the library admin. They know what they want/need.

    Pay attention to the environmental and health consequences of this stuff EARLY ON, before you invest in something terrible. Use easily compostable materials like PHA and hempwood, or post-consumer recycled stuff like PETg from used soda bottles. Get into making/recycling your own materials if/when you can.

    That's what i can think of for now, hopefully that's at all helpful.
