I don’t consider this a shitpost.

I’ve been thinking about it and it doesn’t really qualify as a shitpost to me either, but I’m going to let it stay for now unless it turns into a complete clusterfuck. @GhostFence, this isn’t really in the spirit of this community. A list of people Conservatives have fearmongered with isn’t especially amusing, which is kind of the point around here.

GhostFence OP ,

Understood!

One thing I wish would have died with Reddit is this adamant OCD of “putting everything exactly where it belongs, and only one time until the end of time”. What if a post is both “wtf” and “shitpost” at the same time? You wouldn’t be able to post it to either because both would theoretically reject it as not belonging there. It would be trivial to find a reason for every single post made to this sublemmy to be removed because it violated some minute nuance of some kind of Platonic ideal form of “shitpost”.

Anyone who has ever tried to micro-organize a whole ocean of things ranging from files on a HDD to the complete stock of a supermarket will know being rigidly committed to a strict definition based structure is unfeasible and a completely non-working model.

I think it is pretty implicit that a post in this community should strive to have a level of amusement. I sure don’t find this post amusing, do you? It’s far too accurate and disgusting to be amusing.

People do not come to Lemmy Shitpost to get pissed off. That’s pretty much the opposite of why people come here.

anarchy79 ,
@anarchy79@lemmy.world avatar

First off you are just avoiding answering the actual points.

Secondly, you are illustrating the very issue with your answer. Let’s say I disagree. I might not, actually, but let’s say. Is there really an objective end to the discussion, or does it all just come down to personal preference? How many users have we got here, a couple of thousand? We are all going to disagree on the details, always.

My point is that it’s a shit system, and only encourages this type of nonsense argumentation in the comments of whether something belongs in the red box or in the blue box. It’s busywork for the simple minded.

Please explain why you think people want to be pissed off when they come to Lemmy Shitpost.

Please address the issues I outlined.

@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Nope. I’m not interested in your issues. And if you have an issue with my moderation, please take it up with the Lemmy.world admins. You can find a list of their names in the sidebar on Lemmy.world’s front page.

Also, I’m sorry you find my polite request to please avoid posting this sort of thing in Lemmy Shitpost in future so unreasonable. OP seemed fine with my request.

anarchy79 ,
@anarchy79@lemmy.world avatar

Well I’m not interested in your fucking issue, and don’t tell me to go talk to your mum about it. The fuck do you think you are? I was the one proposing an argument, and you were the buttstuck child. You know it, I know it. Now go ahead and ban me, you CLASSIC reddit mod.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Nope. I won’t ban you, I’ll just stop replying to you after this.

However, if I see you talking to a regular user of the community like this, you will be banned for violating community rule 1 as stated in the sidebar:

mke , (edited ) to me_irl in me irl every time

It’s always interesting to see random activities highlight how different people’s lives can be. As of the time I’m posting this, half of the comments mention a dishwasher.

I’ve never been in a house with a dishwasher, and literally just realized I couldn’t tell you if I’ve ever seen one, outside of a screen. To my perception, they’re like a magical tool that supposedly exists… somewhere. Maybe.

That’s not a complaint, and not really noteworthy. I’m pretty sure most of humanity doesn’t have one, after all. I just think it’s funny when you stumble into another bubble, inside your bubble.

I know that I, too, enjoy things that don’t seem real to someone else. Even being able to read this post is a privilege. Now, that’s funny.

quindraco ,

Also, dishwashers don’t really work. You have to wash the dishes before they go in - best it can do is a glorified rinse and then a dry.

anguo ,

That isn’t true for modern dishwashers. You shouldn’t even rinse your plates before putting them in, as the detergent needs stuff to grab on.

Kiosade ,

Everytime I leave food/sauce particles on utensils and dishes, the dishwasher doesn’t get it all off because it hardens after a day or two while it sits in there waiting for the next run. So I rinse everything off by hand and then use the dishwater to get every last molecule of food and idk, kill germs I guess. Plus it then drys everything for me.

quindraco ,

Have you ever… tried this?

anguo ,

Yep, I have kids though, so the dishwasher runs every day or 2. I sometimes “rinse” the dishes just to get them a little wetter before I put them in.

dingus ,

Whenever I try this, it does not work at all. Granted, I don’t have a super new model or anything, but still. The food will harden and sometimes get permanently get stuck to the dishes as a sort of soap-crust looking entity.

anguo ,

Maybe I should add that I’m vegetarian. Perhaps animal fat and proteins are harder to clean in a dishwasher.

Pro tip: Peanut butter and egg yolks become immune to water when they dry. They don’t go in the dishwasher.

GissaMittJobb ,

That’s not true at all.

Kiosade ,

It is in my experience. If I just throw shit in unrinsed, the food particles harden and then don’t all come off in the wash. Nasty.

sukhmel OP ,

Happened a couple of times with my dishes, but to be fair it was a couple of times out of a few years of usage, so your mileage may vary

Kiosade ,

It’s possible some people just have better dishwashers, and that because the one that came with my apartment is not high end it can’t do what other washers can.

GissaMittJobb ,

Are you using detergent for both the two cycles the machine runs? Are you softening your water using salt (if applicable to your machine)? Is your machine decently clean?

All of the above will contribute to cleaner dishes, in approximate order of importance.

sukhmel OP ,

Now, that’s funny

I’d call that more sad than funny, but you’re absolutely right. And it’s a good thing to sometimes have a fresh look at what seems a given

ThatFembyWho ,

My mom taught me to always wash dishes by hand. She hated dishwashers, because they would leave spots, and that wasn’t acceptable. For the longest tine, every dish I washed had to pass her inspection. If they looked anything less than perfect, she would point it out and/or rewash then herself. Eventually she trusted me enough to not double-check, and honestly my eyesight was better anyway.

I have to this day never used a dishwasher.

grue ,

She hated dishwashers, because they would leave spots, and that wasn’t acceptable.

FYI, rinse aid is a thing these days.

Lesrid ,

If you have hard water, look in to citric acid. Rinse aid alone still left my dishes cloudy no matter the quantity of detergent I tried. A bit of powdered citric acid leaves them shiny.

zero_spelled_with_an_ecks ,

Yeah, but studies have shown it’s not great for us pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36464527/

sukhmel OP ,

This is a very useful link, thanks. I may have even experienced this effect in 2021 (hard to be sure though)

GissaMittJobb ,

Correctly used dishwashers are generally better at cleaning dishes than cleaning by hand, plus they are way more energy/water efficient than cleaning by hand.

idunnololz ,
@idunnololz@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah honestly I never used them cause I thought they sucked and wasted water. After being educated about modern dishwashers I started to use them more often. Now I pretty much only use dishwashers for all my dishes (except non dishwasher safe stuff). Looking back, it’s a game changer. The time saved is amazing and the dishes look amazing.

dingus ,

Can you tell me how to correctly use mine? It doesn’t actually clean my dishes properly unless I pre scrape, scrub, and rinse most things…and then at that point it seems almost pointless to be using the dishwasher.

GissaMittJobb ,

Check out Technology Connection’s video on dishwashers: youtu.be/_rBO8neWw04

henfredemars , to memes in download firefox

I always install Firefox on all the work computer kiosks.

I’m doing my part one page visit at a time.

CreeperODeath , to memes in download firefox

I actually recently switched from brave to Firefox

It’s going pretty nice so far Plus I love the customization open source stuff always has

SupraMario ,

I thought brave ended up having privacy issues? Is this no longer the case? I just recently switched to ff after being a chrome user for so long (went from FF to chrome long ago)

ReakDuck ,

Brave is like Apple. Privacy is just a marketing tactic.

SupraMario ,

Lol so what I read was correct lol

bloddclaw ,

FF isn’t private out the box either.

masterofn001 ,

People believe what they want.

But, you are correct.

Not necessarily because FF is bad, but because the internet and web standards are often stupid and not privacy friendly.

Webrtc? Great! (But, by default, it leaks your real IP address even with a VPN). WebGL, web GPU, etc. Sketchy not privacy friendly standards

But, again. At least FF allows obfuscation either by fingerprint blocking or masking or other config settings. But… it is tedious. And they change flags and flag names constantly.

FF at least allows you to mod it so you can use it without leaks.

What irks me is all the telemetry. And this new deal they call fog.

And the impossible to get rid of add-ons I never asked for. No, I don’t want screenshots built in. Nor amazon, or google, or eBay, or Normandy or opt out studies

After all the tweaks I make manually (arkenfox user.js is nice, too) it ends up well over a hundred settings to get what I want functionality and privacy wise.

And, yet, it is still the absolute best of the browsers.

(Tor, mull, and librefox as well)

SchizoDenji ,

Look up Firefox CSS customizations. It’s amazing how much you can tailor.

Aren’t teachers employed by the government?

Lightrider ,

Who dictates government policy?

Mamertine ,

In this case, I’d guess the school board.

anonymouse ,

I don’t think a school board has control of personnel matters like sick leave policy. Where I’m from, this is set by state legislature.

MNByChoice ,

I don’t know your state, but I bet the legislature sets the minimum and the school board sets the actual number and the related policies.

They actually do. They’ll show up for Mastodon users subscribed to the Lemmy community.

I’d understand if the account was from Kbin or Mastodon, but the account is from lemmy and adds literally nothing to the conversation.

She did not catch the cat :(

Please do not give them ideas.

They don’t need them, I’m fairly certain the new thing to hate/fear is just taken from a raffle ticket out of a pile of different minority groups.

LOL that’s probably the right answer unironically. A damned grab bag of hate.

anarchy79 ,
@anarchy79@lemmy.world avatar

Not really, they pay top dollah for thinktanks to come up with the perfect group du jour to persecute. It’s actually scary in a Mike Tyson first round knockout sense how effective they are. I mean we have a coin flip chance of electing a leader who calls upon our enemies to attack our allies. That’s a very, very good return on investment for whoever would stand to benefit from such a thing.

Issues at the border are only during presidential election year and it will never be for the whole year as the day after voting, conservatives stop mentioning it.

Why doesn’t the employer just give them the fucking sick days

@iAvicenna@lemmy.world avatar

or government provide better health care & more support to a family with a sick kid? according to the news, they have to travel 100 miles to get the treatment

robotopera ,

Well you can’t do that cuz if you give one employee sick days for their dying child every employee with a dying child is going to want sick days and that might impact the shareholders.

dukk ,

It’s a school?? Who are the shareholders?

The fact that a school has to be pulling this kind of stuff…

tinysalamander ,

Schools have budgets decided by board members who are elected by the taxpayers; and taxpayers don’t like tax hikes! Thus we have the orphan crushing machine.
