I was gonna say I think I liked reddit more before the digg folks came. Maybe Lemmy is right where it should be.

Tried to order pizza but it got Noided

Chicken just isn’t gonna need to be that precise. It’s not an ingredient that mixes with others in that way. That being said, chicken is an item that most recipes would mention by weight. Nobody is going to actually weigh out the chicken; they’ll just go with a close measurement, or use potentially use the packaging it came in for reference.

I’m curious what game. My feeling is it must be something with a constantly changing economy?

Curious what would have happened if you just stopped at $30 up (also remember, $ before the number; ¢ after)

Was the $30 paid into your account, or in the form of a check or something?

I think they mean concepts like morning and evening, or day and night would remain. The difference would be that in London, midnight would be 12:00am, but in San Fransisco, midnight would be… 16:00 / 4:00pm. Each timezone would have to adjust the numbers, in the same way the southern hemisphere considers January to be in the summer.

Not at all a solution, but worth mentioning that in a YouTube URL you can replace /shorts/ with /v/ and get the normal player for the same video.

It also has a light mode now. I know that was a drawback for some folks when it was first being mentioned.

Man, I find it to be unsettling. Maybe it’s hooking into a sort of auditory uncanny valley, or maybe it’s just knowing that it’s all “fake”. The way different portions of the song are mashed together, missing a beat, is sorta interesting. It’s like pasting together text a piece at a time, only it’s missing the paragraph breaks and instead if just mashed together.

My man!

Hawken

I still feel like this had one of the best atmospheres in gaming. Something about it felt so visceral. I had such high hopes of playing it in VR eventually, but by the time VR really came out, Hawken was already dying away.

Chopper Commando on the PC Jr and River Raid on the Atari 2600 were my first gaming loves.

Point to your credit here: it’s illegal in this state to pay less than minimum wage whether the employee is tipped or not. ALL workers make at least $15.74/hr here, except for 14 and 15 year olds who can be paid 80% of minimum wage.

The S in MSRP is “suggested”, so I don’t see any technical problem with it. I think we need a separate term if it’s meant to be a locked price point across sellers.

Getting a teeny bit slammed for your comment, but I think the simpler answer is: you probably wouldn’t. If instagram is working for you and yours, then I’d imagine you’ll stay there. That’s totally fine. This is a thread about federated alternatives, though, so the overall subject may not apply to you.

I like pixelfed because a) it doesn’t have ads for 2/3 of the content, b) it doesn’t have reels (which IMO go against the entire point of instagram to begin with), and c) I’m specifically not looking for pictures of my friends. For me, instagram is a platform for discovering art from other people. It still works for that, but there’s so much other stuff on there getting in the way. Pixelfed is “back to basics” for what I’m looking for in an art sharing platform.

Huh, there are some filtered slurs in there I’ve never heard of before! I guess this probably isn’t the place to ask to whom they apply and how, though. Still, the list isn’t as long as I expected, and doesn’t seem to apply to profanity so much as just offensive slurs. I feel like the “b-word” is a little bit of a stretch, but I can appreciate the intent there.

Thanks for giving the best answer here!

hunte… wait a minute

In a few threads now where someone typed an expletive, the post gets censored and it just says removed where the word should’ve been.

I’m trying to link to a comment, but when I check the link, it keeps pointing to my response to them. Seems like some other lemmy quirk, but maybe it’ll work for you

In another post, someone tried to say “resting removed face” but it came out “resting removed face”

edit: well that’s awkward, when I tried to write b i t c h, it did it to my comment here. So it is a lemmy.ml thing?

Man, I’m sorry to hear that’s your experience. I guess some folks simply refuse to be understanding.

I think it’s important to bear in mind that some of those things are what neurotypical folks, I guess you could call them, use to convey interest or disinterest. Eye contact is a way to express interest, and helps to show one is intently listening to the speaker. Conversely, frequently glancing away is kind of the body language equivalent of giving short “uh huh” type answers when one is trying to disengage from a conversation.

My point isn’t that you should feel bad about struggling with these nuances; I just think it’s worth mentioning that some of those negative reactions you may have experienced just has to do with expectations in body language. It’s not that someone who’s neurodivergent is being an asshole, it’s just that they’re sending out signals we’re otherwise used to interpreting as disinterest, and that is (often) off-putting.

Again, it’s not something to feel bad about, it’s just communicating on different wavelengths so-to-speak. Sort of like a language/culture difference.
