Cats are awesome, no doubt! And I totally get the appeal of chilling with a furry friend over small talk. But here’s a thought: people who want to get to know you are pretty cool too.

Sometimes we need to remind ourselves that other humans aren’t just NPCs in our personal storyline. They’ve got their own complex lives, hopes, dreams, and probably some wild stories to share if we give them a chance.Getting to know both the cats AND the people (and dogs too!) can really enrich your life. Each interaction, whether it’s with a purring kitty or a fellow partygoer, adds a little something to who you are. So maybe try not to avoid either?

(Unless you’re allergic, of course. Then by all means, stick to the non-sneezy option!)

Don’t fruit trees need extra care and pruning, and the fruit that falls to the ground is also kind of a mess to clean up. Sturdy trees are good in the city, since they are low upkeep and very good for air quality and shade. I am however a huge fan of vertical gardens with edible plants. Imagine a whole wall with mint growing on it, that would be wicked!

Royal “we”, as in humanity. Your statement may be valid that the average Joe does not care, but it is important. Just as it was important to develop electricity to what is the modern grid today.

I agree wholeheartedly

We’re so into pushing the limits of AI, but we’re forgetting about the important stuff, like making sure everyone has power when the weather goes crazy. It’s like we’re so focused on the shiny new toy that we’re ignoring the basics. It’s like we’re trading our populations health for a few cool pictures. We need to think about the bigger picture and make sure we’re not sacrificing what really matters for the sake of technology.

I love reading all sorts of books, and I think most people do too. Those who judge others for what they read are just a loud minority.

“One Rich Asshole Called Larry”, which is a common joke about the company’s founder Larry Ellison.

Or

"One Real Asshole Called...", which is another derogatory joke about the company and its leadership.

I used AI to do a quick summary, hope it highlights why people feel negatively about LTT

Sexual Harassment Case:

1. Allegations: There were serious allegations of sexual harassment, bullying, abuse of power, and retaliation within the LTT workplace. These claims painted a picture of a toxic work environment【4】【5】.

Thank you for putting how I feel browsing Lemmy into words. I really hope that more wholesome communities can gain more traction soon.

To be fair, Chrome does generally render most websites faster and correctly. I have Chrome installed just in case of some webpages not working with Firefox. Now, that’s not Mozillas fault, but from user standpoint makes Chrome more attractive browser to use.

Y’all are kinda mean. Not all dogs need to be cute pomeranians to be loved.

I do not identify as autistic or gay. However, this comic made me consider the implications of such labels. People often use these terms to describe certain behaviors or traits that are commonly associated with autism or homosexuality. In that sense, I suppose I could be considered a little gay.

Nice! Is there a kit you’re buying or are you sourcing parts from Aliexpress or similar? If you’re interested there is a guy doing open source pedal sets and shifter which I’m thinking of building as next project. https://www.youtube.com/@LeboisRacing

Ah! Thanks, I will check it out. TS-PC is indeed what I meant. Maybe this is a good reason to upgrade my sim setup to more open source friendly brand.

I am in a similar situation, I use quest 2 a lot to drive in assetto corsa. I have a Thrustmaster TS 300 PC, I don’t think there are any Linux drivers for that base.

My guy, if she wants to keep earning money on her concerts she kind of does need to fly around. Does she fly frequently unnecessarily, definitely. I get that you’re angry, but it should not blind you to reality of why people fly private jets. It’s the first step to fixing the problem.

Just curious, do you expect her to fly on commercial airliners? Would you imagine the chaos this would cause for the flight. I dont agree with use of private jets, but I kind of dont have a alternative solution for transportation of famous people either.

Jojo reference, for those that were in doubt!

Ah, thats true, didn`t read the meme properly the first time.
