Don't mess with the Mouse

Remember, when terrible things happen to people I hate, it's okay.

You'd think so, but I knew a guy

Aesthesiaphilia ,

The article threw out a lot of potential reasons but the unsaid part about all of them was that they wouldn't be an issue if so many people weren't so goddamn stupid.

Isolation?

Mistrust of the government?

Poor treatment of women's health?

In all cases, it takes two parts to drive someone to conspiracy theories. A catalyst like one of the above, plus fuel of pure goddamn stupidity.

higher wages for the servers... by the customers. Fnbs (lemmy.world)

Went to a restaurant in LA today and when I got the check I noticed that it was a bit higher than it should be. Then I noticed this 18% service charge. So… We, as customers, need to help pay for their servers instead of the owners paying their servers a living wage. And on top of that they have suggested tip. I called bs on...

Aesthesiaphilia ,

I will bet you that the servers do not see a dime of this 18% service charge.

That's exactly why so many restaurants are adding service charges nowadays. It's a way to legally take tip money from servers.

Aesthesiaphilia ,

Because then they'd have to raise prices.

Especially nowadays with so many people looking up menu prices online before going somewhere, it's a way to present your prices as lower than they actually are.

Regulate different types of nicotine differently. Vapes are highly addictive but not dangerous. Cigarettes are highly addictive and will kill you.

Aesthesiaphilia ,

Bullshit. No study has ever found nicotine to be harmful at the concentrations present in vapes.

Aesthesiaphilia , (edited )

There is conclusive evidence that in addition to nicotine, most e-cigarette products contain and emit
numerous potentially toxic substances.

In other words, bullshit. The dosage makes the poison.

Aesthesiaphilia ,

The product/delivery method is irrelevant.

What absolute insanity. You see no difference between drinking water and drowning in it?

Aesthesiaphilia ,

So fucking regulate them, don't ban them

Aesthesiaphilia ,

Let me just rephrase what you said. Instead of "the science isn't fully decided", which paints an incorrect picture, let's rather say "of everything they've tested in a typical legal vape, everything is essentially harmless. Some of the components haven't been tested."

Saying "the science isn't fully decided" implies "eh, maybe it's dangerous, maybe it's not, 50/50". That's not at all the case. It's almost certainly all harmless. Just very addictive.

Aesthesiaphilia ,

The delivery method for vaping is water vapor. The delivery method for cigarettes is to wrap the nicotine in poison and then burn it. And you see no difference?

Aesthesiaphilia ,

It does mean that, unless we are stupid or have ulterior motives, we should not regulate them equally heavily.

Besides, the science shows vaping is nearly harmless. I think that, again unless we are stupid, we should not be regulating it "heavily" at all. Just ban it for under-18s. Enforce that ban. That's all.

Aesthesiaphilia ,

Sounds perfectly fair.

Aesthesiaphilia ,

Nicotine addiction is not a PROBLEM though, no more than caffeine addiction. The problem is when the only legal way to get caffeine is by a cocktail of red bull and arsenic.

Nicotine is not the issue. The delivery method is the whole problem.

Aesthesiaphilia ,

Great, but that's not why they were banned. I was talking about the US though, where a great many jurisdictions are totally banning vapes, or banning all flavored vape juice, due to this hysteria.

Aesthesiaphilia ,

Ceci n'est pas une meme

Two Jewish men are sitting at a train stop. One takes out a paper and starts reading it. The other glances over, and says "What? Why are you reading a Nazi newspaper??"

The first one says, "if I read the normal newspaper it's all doom and gloom. But when I read the Nazi newspaper, they say we control the banks, the government, Hollywood...makes me feel better."

Aesthesiaphilia ,

Weird when you consider how little Jews we have in Ireland

Easier to hate someone when you don't see them all the time at the bar, at the office, at the coffee shop...

Aesthesiaphilia ,

And ideally this is how it should work to maximize usefulness of the space...oh, everyone else is gone on Fridays, I'll come in Friday instead of Tuesday

Still coming in 3 days a week except now everyone is happier

Aesthesiaphilia ,

imo (and I'm not a manager, though I occasionally do manage people) there's different levels of collaboration. If you get the whole company in one room, that's one level of energy. If you get 5 separate but related teams in a room, that's another level. And if you get just 5 random people from the company together, that's another level.

There's definitely a balance to be had, but having your office be empty every Friday is not efficient, even if you want to increase socializaion and collaboration.

Plus there's some benefit to providing workers a place that isn't their house to work. Some people just need to go somewhere else to be at their most productive, not necessarily just for socializing.

How did Netflix know I was gay before I did?

Honey

EVERYONE knew

Aesthesiaphilia ,

What a strange and beautiful land

I'm a big fan, just wish it didn't block so much nsfw stuff

Aesthesiaphilia ,

Conspiracy theorists are doing the ddosing

Aesthesiaphilia ,

No clue, but it's not in the article

Also targeted at lower middle class people willing to put the majority of their paycheck towards a truck for 30 years

You think racist Trumpublicans know history??

Not OP but - California

Lotta pretty people here

Aesthesiaphilia ,

There will always be popular extroverts and unpopular introverts.

Aesthesiaphilia ,

An "introvert" is someone who will tend to keep their thoughts to themselves.

That's not correct at all, and it's funny because you're so confident about it

Aesthesiaphilia ,

That's not how they're defined, just typical manifestations of the underlying personalities.

Introverts emotionally recharge from alone time, extroverts emotionally recharge from time with others.

Aesthesiaphilia ,

Is that...the Chewbacca defense?

Pastor alarmed after Trump-loving congregants deride Jesus' teachings as 'weak' (www.rawstory.com)

Evangelical Christian leader Russell Moore revealed this week that many evangelical pastors have become alarmed that their Trump-loving congregants have become so militant that they are even rejecting the teachings of Jesus Christ.In an interview with NPR, Moore said that multiple pastors had told h...

Aesthesiaphilia ,

Almost as if they never gave a shit about Jesus's teachings in the first place and only cherry picked a couple of things that fit their existing desires.

Now they're just going mask off.

Aesthesiaphilia ,

Sweden?

Drought?

Anyway I'm not a civil engineer or geologist or renewable energy engineer or anything, so I won't pretend to know what the best path is. I'm just hoping they did their studies correctly and are picking the best option.

But even if they're not, it's good they're moving away from fossil fuels, whichever direction they move in.

Aesthesiaphilia ,

iirc earlier solar panel construction required rare earths

In the last 10-15 years they've moved to more abundant materials

Aesthesiaphilia ,

I can't find any indication that they're changing their target...it's just going from "100% renewable" to "100% fossil-fuel free".

Aesthesiaphilia ,

It's a negligible amount of heat. Something like 0.000001% of the greenhouse effect from fossil fuels. Almost unmeasurable.

Aesthesiaphilia ,

That's not existential dread, that's just everyday "life sucks" though

Aesthesiaphilia ,

Existential dread by definition has no specific definable cause. That's not existential dread.

Aesthesiaphilia ,

I'm not gatekeeping, it's just the definition.

Aesthesiaphilia ,

Same. Definition you gave, you're just misinterpreting it.

"in relation to the human condition and the meaning of life." Not your life specifically, life in general. The general human condition, not your specific circumstances. It's a pretty common phrase.

Aesthesiaphilia ,

I mean if you don't understand the concept by now then your way of seeing the world is so fundamentally abnormal that it's not worth the effort for me to find a specific combination of words that makes you understand it. You seem to lack the understanding of what a forest is, you only see a specific number of trees, or a statistical average of each and every one of those trees. You can't conceptualize something generally applicable to all people

Aesthesiaphilia ,

Literally every opinion I hold is morally right, and I have the right to gather other like minded people and oppress anyone who says otherwise. I am never wrong.
