  • New job, off to a bad start.

    Jump

  • I've never heard the term trail shift before, but I can't see anything other than that that implies unpaid labour. You're right to check though. If you're seen as a troublemaker for that, they're not a company you'd want to work for anyway.

  • Mother of autistic boy left with £10,000 debt after breaching DWP rules by £1.92 a week

    Jump

  • Bureaucracy moves pretty slowly i think. We've got another few years to find out for sure.

  • Who is behind the great rock’n’roll ripoff? How Ticketmaster swallowed the live entertainment scene

    Jump

  • On the one hand, maybe it might be considered a little scummy for a megacorporation to financially abuse people, but the important point here is how dare you try to enjoy your life.

  • Why did a guy walk into the mud when he saw me coming down the sidewalk?

    Jump

  • I feel that. I've had it a few times where a girl is walking in front same speed and direction for like 5 turns. I've had to go completely the wrong way before and make myself late for fear she'll phone the police that she's being followed.

    She'd be justified in the fear, I'd be nervous if I were them, I just hate that that's the world we're in.

  • Do you feel like you're part of the problem in our current society?

    Jump

  • Depending on what problems you're talking about, I think everyone is to blame to some extent. For example global warming is largely due to humans producing more and more energy to keep up progress, and here we are spending it on basically useless discussion.

  • I was idly thinking about this the other day, how absolutely lonely it must be in say North Korea, where if you're caught by the regime to be thinking the wrong thing you'll get killed. I'd know its bullshit, but I'd be terrified of speaking out or asking questions, incase the person I'm speaking to is an agent of the state, or will suspect me of being an agent and inform the authorities incase I'm testing them.

    It must be awful not knowing who's a secret police, who's a gullible rube for buying the propaganda and who's just hiding behind forced conformity.

    I don't think many of them will believe the propaganda, but I bet the ones who do will be the happiest. Or least miserable I guess.

  • What has helped your social anxiety the most?

    Jump

  • Necessity. I didn't have much of a support network so when mine got so bad I could no longer work I just let everything slide until I ended up homeless. At that point I absolutely had to go through all the motions and that means meeting a lot of people and pleading your case and so on.

  • I know its not the same thing, but we've completely done away with the barter system. Way back in the days of yore people would be swapping things for things, and then money came along and they were like "whaaaat you want to take my stuff in exchange for a few little discs?" And now it's totally normal.

  • What turns your frown upside down?

    Jump

  • In the last couple of years, seeing my toddler do new things. Any new things. Jumping, saying "cake", eating a new food, today it was making toys talk to each other.

    Overall, coding things. I'm incredibly newbie but wannabe game dev. Learning to code as I go copying tutorials and trying to tweak things and mash different ones together until it does what I want. I would spend an entire evening getting frustrated and not understanding error codes and pulling my hair out because invalid syntax and shit. Then finally it would do what I wanted it to do and I could physically feel my brain light up with buzzy happy-chemicals, big grins and jumping round the room like a kid on Xmas.

    Then I'd start on the next minijob and break the whole fucking thing...

  • Remains of "elite woman" who died 5,000 years ago discovered at site of former garbage dump in Peru

    Jump

  • I know next to nothing about any of the subject, but I'm bloody impressed by the preservation

  • How can we make lemmy have more relevance?

    Jump

  • Yeah just use it as normal and have patience.

    Only reason I'm here is after getting arbitrarily banned from reddit for the 3rd time and refusing to make a new one.

  • Are your parents "supposed" to be your role models?

    Jump

  • Supposed to be. From a pure animal point of view They're successful enough to have reproduced. Given that between them they make up your entire genetic composition, the wisest course of action is to emulate them.

    Then human society got to a point where the bar for survival/reproduction is so low that it's not necessarily a good idea to emulate them.

  • Because it's a recognisable brand name that's easier and more palatable to communicate than "sell videos of increasingly depraved sex acts en masse"

    It's just how it's been normalised. Anyone who is actually interested and wants to get engaged will learn better quite quickly.

  • How did we get so casual about conspiracy theories?

    Jump

  • I think it's always been this way, but social media has for sure exacerbated it. People really want to believe there's some big order, some grand control, somebody in charge that all makes sense somewhere somehow.

    "They" don't want you to know because its all about power and control is weirdly a lot more palatable than "shit just happens".

  • Do you haggle? marketplace, comic com etc

    Jump

  • No. If something is too expensive I simply move on. I get anxious simply conducting commerce in a regular environment, like my desire to buy this thing is an intrusion on the shopkeepers day.

    I also refuse to buy from places, usually burger vans, where the prices are so small as to be hidden until you get to the front of the queue. If you're going to say "what do you want" at the exact moment I'm weighing up the price/object ratio, I'm out.

  • Why aren't the Mediterranean, Black Sea, Red Sea, the Baltic etc. considered Gulfs?

    Jump

  • I had the same thought with cape and peninsula

  • Why this annoying trend of having face on videos ?

    Jump

  • I know the one you're talking about and to me that's the least egregious of them all. It's contextual and thematic, even if it is just shit.

    I've been looking over my daughters shoulder as she watches YouTube shorts, and a regular clip of brain rot will announc its using the greenscreen effect. Hidden behind all the username/soundtrack/description will be a teeny tiny brown man's head muttering punjab almost imperceptibly quietly.

    Not sure if they're better or worse than the dickheads splitting the screen in two and passively pointing up towards the video that is also showing.

  • "You jinx it? Believe it or not, jail"

  • Where do I go if I want to find someone to help me make an app game?

    Jump

  • That's what he's trying to do, just doesn't know where to go for that.

    Now that I'm thinking about it I'm surprised there isn't a dragons den type thing for software development.
