Lol I don’t understand. So when you get hired somewhere, you just shake hands and go to a desk and start working? You don’t sign any employment contract outlining role responsibilities, compensation, NDA, expectations, background check, bank deposit information, tax information, etc?
I don’t believe you.
- Comment on Not allowed to work from home 4 weeks ago:
My dude, we’re talking about remote work office jobs. Not some random under the table shit.
- Comment on Not allowed to work from home 4 weeks ago:
Huh? All jobs come with an employment contract.

Hot dog. I’ve always found swallowing pills difficult. The hot dog shape is weaker in the middle and breaks in half more easily.

Yes. Also a cyborg.

Typically, when people refer to a country by name in this manner, such as “Saudi Arabia”, they are referring to the government/ruling class of that country, not the people as a whole.

What am I missing on Vegan hate
Here specifically or in general? In general, nothing. Most well adjusted people don’t form negative opinions about others based on their dietary choices.
On Lemmy specifically, the Vegan sub was promoting the idea that feeding obligate carnivores (cats) a strictly vegan diet is a totally rad thing to do. It’s not. They’re going to kill their damn cats.

Imagine thinking reddit is the only internet forum with gross idiots.

What the hell are you talking about? I’m pretty sure the millions of people the Romans enslaved did not volunteer for a better life but were in fact brutalized through violence and abducted from their homes.

I mean, in this particular case, they’re right. Roblox is predatory AF.
- Comment on My Windows Computer Just Doesn't Feel Like Mine Anymore 4 months ago:
Sure. I could accept hearing “Windows is more polished than most Linux distro’s”. But to say blankly that Windows is polished is crazy talk. It’s jank as balls. It’s got like 3 totally discrete and independent UI frameworks for the menus operating in parallel, and somehow none of them provide all the functionality you would need, have to mix and match them.
That’s just a single example. I could rant for hours.
- Comment on My Windows Computer Just Doesn't Feel Like Mine Anymore 4 months ago:
I agree with your point, but I never would have thought of describing Windows as “polished”.

Well that other guy said it’s only 66megs so, you’re wrong.

Great rebuttal. Really got him with this one.

That ship has long sailed unfortunately. The industry gave up on optimization in favour of praying that hardware advancements can keep up with the bloat.

Sam Altman was actually president of Y combinator from 2014 - 2019. An interesting connection when you realise HN has been actively removing news critical of the Gen AI bubble hype.

Same. This was very common mom attire when I was growing up.
- Comment on Republicans are pulling out all the stops to reverse EV adoption 6 months ago:
I’d argue the oil and gas industry, not auto. Lots of auto industry players like GM, Ford, Honda, Toyota are selling EV’s. There a market for them, people want them, there’s money in the table. Why would auto not want that.
- Comment on As a long-time user hearing YouTube wants to play ads when I pause a video 6 months ago:
None of those services offer the same kind of content though. Tiktok offers 30s - a couple of minutes videos (vines, essentially), streams are hours long and are fundamentally different because they’re interactive with chat. YouTube offers the 5min - 30min edited content, with exceptions here and there (1hr+ content).
Your 11 year old nephew doesn’t watch YouTube because he’s 11 and has the attention span of a squirrel. He’s not watching a 30 minute video about the Canadian housing crisis.

I’m technically an immigrant from europe (came over at 1 year old) and even to me given I grew up here it feels weird and fake to keep a flag from there.

Well your original statement indicated that you were most concerned with the randomness of the meat. You even specified freshness was not a criterion. Would you like me to select a piece for you, would that assuage your reservations?

As opposed to a random piece of beef, pork, or poultry?
- Comment on Experimental Video Game Made Purely With AI Failed Because Tech Was 'Unable to Replace Talent' 8 months ago:
Listen, you’re not middle-managing hard enough. If AI tools can improve worker productivity by 50%, then you fire 75% of staff and overwork the remaining 25% while threatening to replace them with AI if they don’t suck it up.

Nah. They just look like big pores. There are a few giveaways here that it’s AI generated, but the pores aren’t one of them
