  🤷 I wouldn’t fret the downvotes too much. Unlike Reddit it means practically nothing here. It bothers you a whole lot more than it bothers me.

  IMO, the least interesting conversations are ones where everyone agrees. When opinions differ, the real tragedy is when we stop listening to the other side.

  For what it’s worth, I’m more than happy to keep listening.

  You’re thinking too rationally. It is nigh impossible to be rational in a situation where you are hungry, tired, and could die at any moment from a drone strike.

  What does “be smarter” even mean? Move out of Gaza?

  Nobody wants to die. It takes a lot for someone to risk death to make a statement. It’s a feeling I will never be able to fully understand because I’m not there living this reality with him.

  Another way of putting it — saying “be smarter” is like telling a minimum wage worker to stop spending money on lattes and they’ll become rich.

  Minimal. There’s a unique captcha system in harvesting that makes it difficult to bot. The closest thing to bad bots are people running multiple accounts on single account servers to run dungeons. It’s a bannable offense and people do get banned for doing it.

  Try Wakfu. There are a lot of chill trades to grind casually and the economy is completely player driven. There are no NPCs to buy or sell your loot to.

  The PvE gameplay loop is really fun. The game has an adjustable level system that encourages players to replay lower level dungeons. Battles are turn based and have a surprising amount of strategy.

  The only real problem with the game is that the devs seem to not care about player growth at all. They do zero marketing and sometimes the registration system is broken and won’t get fixed for awhile. It’s like the opposite problem to RuneScape.

  If, as an employee, you offer your personal laptop or pay for work expenses out of pocket without asking to get it reimbursed, no functioning company will question it or bother.

  If you need something for work and they won’t give it to you, then you can’t work. It’s as simple as that.

  I don’t usually recognize Lemmy users but I’ve run into your posts a lot these last few days. I assumed you were a bot but from interactions like these it’s clear you mean well. Love to see Lemmy growing from power users like yourself!

  This is a great list! Thanks for sharing!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Have you ever realized just how broken you are?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I had a similar relationship with my father. He was an alcoholic. These days I don’t have much of a relationship with him. I recognize that he’s a better person now that he’s older, but I don’t really see him as “dad”. Just “father”.

  My mom sometimes asks if I will regret not spending more time with him. Honestly, I’m not sure I would. I don’t have many fond memories with him at all. It’s weird saying this knowing that I have a father who loves me in his own way when others might not have one at all.

  This is a really thoughtful and educational answer. I learned a lot from this. Thank you!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are weather apps so bad at telling you the current weather?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s what I already do. Which got me thinking about why apps are so bad at this considering they can do the same thing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are weather apps so bad at telling you the current weather?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sounds like the system is just stuck on old tech. If I can tell that rain will reach my area from a precipitation radar map then I’m fairly certain an ML based system can do this too.

  I suppose there’s just no money in it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are weather apps so bad at telling you the current weather?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is exactly what I’m looking for! I also often check the weather to get a gauge on whether it’s clear to walk my dogs. 2-3 hours ahead is perfect.

  It’s a little hard to imagine for us Americans, but internationally WhatsApp has a thriving unofficial ecosystem of businesses operating solely out of the chat app.

  I love to hate on Meta as much as the next guy on Lemmy, but this is probably one of the sounder business decisions Meta has made in awhile.
