Why not serve fried chicken on Juneteenth? How is it different from serving corned beef on St. Patrick’s day? (old.lemmy.world)

Disclaimer: I am not trolling, I am an autistic person who doesn’t understand so many social nuances. Also I am from New Hampshire (97% white), so I just don’t have any close African-American friends that I am willing to risk asking such a loaded question.

Millennial Americans will cook, if it isnt too complicated.

GenZ Americans won’t cook unless it is putting something in the microwave.

hightrix ,

You didn’t miss anything. It is the general Apple hate on Lemmy.

People mad that expensive phone is expensive.

hightrix ,

I would rather use a device from a hardware company than an ad company.

hightrix ,

Did the truth ever come out around this shooting? The whole thing seemed very suspicious and the news story seemed to go away pretty quickly compared to other similar events.

Or I’m an ostrich and just completely missed everything to do with it.

hightrix ,

This is my point. There is no motive. No explanation, nothing.

Personally, I don’t buy the “dude went crazy” story with all the preparation that he did.

hightrix ,

I’ll just use I and stop using YouTube. I won’t purposefully poison my mind with ads.

And if you watch the matrix today for the first time, everything is cliche and done to death.

The reason for this is that every single action movie after the matrix has copied it. When it released, it blew people away. No one had seen anything like it. I remember going to see it after an event because of how much people wouldn’t stop talking about it. Even overhyped, I was blown away.

The Matrix defined action movies for a decade+

Mind linking to a post discrediting the “official is bullshit about Tiananmen square”? I’m genuinely curious about the counter arguments.

hightrix ,

This is it. Everything “just works” on windows. Until that exact same experience is available on Linux it will never take over. And no, I don’t mean “there is an app you can install for a distribution that makes it easy to…”. That is an immediate failure. It needs to be easy to do everything, out of the box, with no additional setup.

I say this as someone that uses windows, Mac, and various flavors of Linux every single day. I want this for Linux, but it isn’t there.

He would absolutely not be in a jumpsuit on the side of the road doing community service. He would be assigned 1000 hours and then “work” with a charity putting his “skills” to use.

I’m speaking from experience. I had 120 hrs of community service and I did computer work for a well known charity.

hightrix ,

Lol. Fair point. I did not.

hightrix ,

Anecdotally, I pay off my full balance every month and have an 830 credit score.

I’m just here to say fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck Google.

Electric Callboy!

Pump it and We got the moves are must listen/watch. The music videos are fantastic.

hightrix ,

This is the real answer. Stop using Google search.

hightrix ,

There are great songs and albums in all genres.

There are terrible songs and albums in all genres.

Listening to an album as it was released, front to back, is the best way to consume music.

hightrix ,

This is a fantastic unpopular opinion.

I definitely consider this for some genres, but for others it ruins the music for me.

hightrix ,

They are purposefully anti-housing. That is the point. And no, it is not to drive prices up but instead to ensure someone doesn’t buy the place next door and turn it into a toxic waste processing plant.

Zoning laws serve a good purpose in many locations. They also serve to maintain NIMBYism, but that is a second order effect.

hightrix ,

Ok, so then what is the difference in an area zoned I-4 vs R-1.

And yes, I understand the historical context, but that’s not the topic of conversation. We are talking about their current use.

hightrix ,

What does I-4 zoning stand for?

Squarespace to Go Private in $6.9B All-Cash Transaction with Permira (investors.squarespace.com)

Stockholders will receive $44.00 per share in cash, which represents a premium of 29% over the 90-day volume weighted average trading price of $34.09 Squarespace, Inc. (NYSE: SQSP ), the design-driven platform helping entrepreneurs build brands and businesses online, today announced that it has entered into a definitive...

hightrix ,

This is just the public warning to stop using square space. Once the PE vultures are in, the product will be made worse and more expensive until it shuts down for lack of “profitability”and growth.

hightrix ,

Ahh yes, when a product advertises that it is “well built” that is a massive red flag.

hightrix ,

This just in, people don’t like ads. At all. Most people.

It is time to find a new business model that works. I’m not smart enough to know what that is so that you don’t piss off users, but whoever figures it out will be a billionaire.

hightrix ,

That is absolutely a solution. But what I’m talking about is a way to monetize while keeping the service free but without showing ads.

This is the billion dollar idea. If not trillion.

hightrix ,

I still believe their naming conventions has destroyed the brand.

Grandma that wants to buy a toy for their kids can go to the store and buy the next PlayStation. Xbox… which one do they buy? They don’t, they buy the easy option.

The new class war: A wealth gap between millennials (www.cnbc.com)

There may be another factor creating so much wealth among millennials: inheritances. In what’s known as “the great wealth transfer,” baby boomers are expected to pass down between $70 trillion and $90 trillion in wealth over the next 20 years. Much of that is expected to go to their millennial children. High-net-worth...

Wealth displays on social media

Crazy idea, so just hear me out.

What if we all just avoided those shitty apps?

hightrix ,

What monopoly?

Users have choice. If they want an open system, choose android. If they want a closed system, choose Apple.

What’s the fuckin problem. Let’s deal with real issues, not this bullshit.

hightrix ,

No.

Humanity always finds a way.

When / why / how did "I hope you are well" become a standard email intro?

Practically every email I’ve received in maybe the past year has started with “I hope you are well”. I even had an LLM draft a placeholder email for me and it started with the same thing. This has not always been the case and it’s strange to me that everyone I interact with begins their emails with this line. Frankly,...

hightrix ,

100% agreed. Please and thank you are standard. Pleasant tone and asking to work together rather than giving commands is also.

It takes so very little extra effort to be nice.

hightrix ,

Quell the outrage.

They are paying for it. Here’s a quick link from the top of search.

This. I always say this exact thing.

If you provide content for free, expect people to take it for free.

hightrix ,

A lot more than what? Bolt action? Yes, because as the parent said, nearly all guns are semi auto.

hightrix ,

Your use of randomly capitalized words does not, at all, make you look like a child screaming because his mom said no McDonalds. Definitely not.

hightrix ,

But what are they used more than?

hightrix ,

Oof. I’m assuming this means they will plummet to subway quality before too long.

It’s unfortunate, Jersey mikes is one of my favorite sandwich shops.

hightrix ,

Absolutely. They will destroy that franchise and make a killing.

hightrix , (edited )

Yes, always.

So many musicians and other artists are not only complete assholes, but also complete morons. But, I don’t listen to their music for their antics or their intelligence, I listen for the music.

I still listen to Johnny Craig and the Lost Prophets even though I know how horrible they are in real life. Because to me, the music is about the feeling that it elicits in me, not about the creator. I don’t care who made a thing, I care about the thing.

Edit: that said, I’ve not purchased music by those two, and instead pirated it.

hightrix ,

Same. I love it. I go to YouTube home page, see nothing, and then go on doing what I was going to do anyway. It is a nice update.

hightrix ,

But did you even think of the children?

Sounds like you just want to hurt those precious little ones.

How dare you!!! /s

hightrix ,

Jacks and cokes?

hightrix ,

Also not an issue when you disable this in windows.

hightrix ,

I wouldn’t know how that feels. Did it once and haven’t had an issue since.

I think some people here like to shit on windows just to shit on windows and haven’t actually used win11

hightrix ,

PEBKAC

hightrix ,

Not sure what point you are trying to make here.

I’m not having any computer problems.

hightrix ,

Why would I acknowledge an issue that doesn’t exist for me?

You are barking up the wrong tree here bud. I use the right tool for the job, for me that means windows for my personal machine, Linux for work or special purpose machines. And Mac to write code.

hightrix ,

Unfortunately, I don’t have a good answer for you.

I built a new Pc last year and decided to put win11 on it to judge the OS for myself. In all reality, it doesn’t feel much different than win10. Boot up is fast, startup is fast, everything just works.

Sorry I can’t provide more info.

Except skin color does not affect athletic performance whereas sex does. There is a huge difference in segregation and this topic.

Teacher who resigned after her OnlyFans page was discovered says new employer fired her for violating social media policy (www.kbtx.com)

Had to supplement her $42,000 per year teacher salary with OF and made nearly $1 million in six months (almost 50 times as her salary) before the school caught wind of it and forced her to resign. Got a new job out of education and was fired five days later when they discovered news articles about her....

I’m comparing two topics that tend to be controversial.
