- Comment on Anyway to clean this sink? 1 day ago:
If you don’t have access to the brand name cleaning supplies that are usually recommended, I’ve had good results by mixing dish soap and vinegar, spreading it with either a spray bottle or sponge, letting it sit for about 15 minutes, and then scrubbing.
- Comment on Where do you typically leave/read reviews 3 days ago:
On a rare occasion I leave reviews on a seller’s page on a local online marketplace as part of a trust system. I don’t use a Google account or anything else that requires my name to be connected to a review. Since I mostly buy directly from manufacturers, I will sometimes leave a star rating if there is an option.

That’s how you end up with the nightmare that seemed really real…or with the next conversation that ends up on Grindr’s Greatest Hits compilation.
- Comment on Some meetings don't even need to be e-mails. 4 days ago:
Good management is supposed to protect you from pointless meetings. Unfortunately some meetings only seem to exist so that management can say they have done something.
- Comment on Are you friends with any AI bots? 4 days ago:
No, I would never be able to use AI as a substitute for anything other than a search engine, considering the decline in quality of current ones. I used to joke about it, but now I feel sorry for anyone so desperate for companionship that they would seek it in an AI chatbot.

- Comment on Does having to hold down a comment to open a downvote prompt make it less likely for you to downvote? 3 weeks ago:
No effect on my decision to downvote. I rarely downvote anyway, so the extra second it takes isn’t much effort.

- Comment on Would **Nothing Nowhere All Seperately** be the prequel or sequel to **Everything Everywhere All At Once**? 1 month ago:
It would be the inverse of it, or possibly a spoof.
I wanted to like that film but couldn’t get into it. Thought it tried to hard to be quirky.

Up front, huh? 🤔 what I’m hearing is that we need an iBooty to act as a counterweight.

Honestly a bargain considering how much speakerless breast implants cost. Do they come in subwoofer?
- Comment on The time and expense of commuting is theft, if that job can be done from home. 2 months ago:
Not sure how your takeaway from that was “just choose a better job” unless you’re digging for something to be upset about.
I am advocating for employers offering salaries that can cover workers’ essential needs, including their own individual transportation needs, rather than reimbursing only people whose jobs have the possibility of being done remotely, OR having reimbursement available to everyone. That, and the more affordable option of public transportation becoming more accessible.

Optimization was never the goal. It just has to function well enough for a sufficient portion of the species to reproduce.
- Comment on The time and expense of commuting is theft, if that job can be done from home. 2 months ago:
Accepting an onsite job, regardless of whether it can be performed at home or not, places the responsibility on you to be able to commute there, and it wouldn’t be fair to compensate only office workers for their commute time when other workers face the same risks while traveling. I’d rather have reliable public transportation and fair salaries relative to costs of living.

I’m willing to bet a good number of them don’t live that way off camera. Some are selling a fantasy to those it appeals to. Others might be trying to convince themselves that they are happy through positive feedback. I know women who genuinely enjoy being mothers and homemakers, but they also aren’t the types to be documenting their lives on social media and peddling a lifestyle.
From my observation, unless you have a kind and caring partner, the “tradwife” life gets tiring quickly when eventually the love and care you put into your home becomes part of routine and taken for granted, or when freedom is withheld from you because your partner decides his opinion matters more since you don’t contribute financially.

- Comment on New project, new energy 2 months ago:
What helped me was quantifying my goals for the project. “Finish it” is too vague and daunting. Sometimes you’ll hit a roadblock and sometimes it’s just not going to work out like you hoped. Set yourself a deadline until which you’ll keep working on it before you decide you have better uses for your time. And within that deadline, set small daily goals like “work on project for X minimum amount of time” (once you start even for a short time, you’re more likely to keep going past that). If by the deadline you’ve lost interest, you can allow yourself to abandon the project without guilt because you know you’ve done the best you can. It only works if you are honest with yourself though.

- Comment on Looking for a way to make a proportional timeline out of an Excel or CSV file 2 months ago:
I would do something similar to what you did: create a scatter plot using the years as your x-axis to make the spacing between them proportional, hide the y-axis, but also add labels to the date and event columns whose data you are using for your chart so that Excel can automatically update the data labels to the chart in case you change or add any events.

- Comment on If suffering is good because it gives life meaning, wouldn't it follow that hurting people is good? 2 months ago:
“Your Honor, I was only trying to make his life more meaningful” doesn’t really hold up well in court.
I would argue that challenges are a part of what give life meaning rather than suffering because they can teach us resourcefulness, resilience, gratitude, and provide a sense of accomplishment after completion. But challenges don’t have to include suffering, and the meaning isn’t always a positive thing.
Ultimately it’s up to each individual to decide what gives their life meaning. Who’s to say everything needs to have a meaning anyway? .

- Comment on Lemmy be like 2 months ago:
There are valid reasons for disliking AI (rather, how it’s being used) and I’ll upvote when a relevant, informed argument is made against it. Otherwise I’ll mentally filter out the low-effort comments that just say “fuck AI” with dozens of upvotes.

- Comment on THIS is always the correct response 2 months ago:
That’s like saying “you can’t fire me, I quit!”. Better to either accept it and be happy to have a good friend, or limit contact with that person if you find it hard to be around them knowing that they’re not romantically/sexually interested.
