  looool, because a 50% price increase wasn’t bad enough. Has anyone not cancelled yet?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Woof is dog for "You may test that assumption at your convenience"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  If we assume a good herd dog is roughly equivalent to Joe Rogan in his prime

  …wait, are we rewriting Rogan into a top fighter, now? He didn’t even compete after his teenage years, did he?

  Not saying I could get as close as even touching the man, to be clear, but let’s not act like he fought professionally for years

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Woof is dog for "You may test that assumption at your convenience"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think we he was arguing that it wasn’t impressive insomuch as the pictured animals are wolves and he absolutely would have lost that fight.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Not to get all religiony but why in the old testament God was all fire and brimstone and fatal consequences? But the new testament God is all about forgiveness and such??⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The simple answer is that the gospel wasn’t working as well as it had been, so they had to change it up to continue attracting people. Cults are basically popularity contests, and you can’t win if you’re scaring everyone away.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hades II v1.0 Is Now Available!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ooooo, good to hear! I played something like 15 hours when EA first released before deciding to put it away until full release. It was definitely good then, so I’m excited to see what it has turned into now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft doing shady Microsoft stuff again⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I am sure there are some people who just kind of don’t give a fuck about computers who that will be accurate for, but I feel like it’s a much smaller minority than Microsoft seems to think that it is.

  You’re definitely overestimating the size of your own bubble. The vast, vast, vast majority of people won’t even notice.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is how it was explained to me by a very elderly, birdwatching family member… If you ever go “whoa, that’s a really big crow,” you’re probably wrong

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mood⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Charles Darwin was actually just a teenage girl?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Has Charlie Kirk ever changed his views on a subject during a debate?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Why didn’t you answer the question, if you’re so sure every other one is wrong?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Incident⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You seem to think squeezing as much productivity out of them is the goal, but if we treated them like humans you might do better for them and in the long run your children.

  I’m the one arguing that they don’t deserve to be your slave… I’m sorry you feel entitled to so much of their time. They’re overworked, understaffed, and have to deal with so many entitled parents. Logging saves them literal hours, and it doesn’t mean you can’t talk to them, it just means you can focus on the important parts.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Incident⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s like you haven’t read a single reply

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Incident⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  you would think they would have all these other workers that can cover while you talk to the parent.

  So, literally the exact same scenario as the logging, except it takes 10-100x as long?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Incident⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  And what if you’re the special case?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Incident⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Distrust? It helps to know if they napped or not, because that changes plans. Doctors ask about diaper change schedules. Bumps or scrapes are good to know about because not all effects are immediate.

  It’s not about trust. People forget shit, and comm lines get crossed when you’re working with 4 other staff and 30 kids. Why rely on someone’s memory when the alternative is faster, more consistent, and more informative?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Incident⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  If it’s important they’ll remember.

  Absolutely fucking braindead take.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Incident⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I turned out fine so it clearly was.

  Not everyone else did.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Incident⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You still ignored the first half. If they’re logging, you can talk to them about the important parts without wasting several hours of important staff time every day between all of the parents.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Incident⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Sounds like a really good way to have half of these things forgotten throughout the day and never told to the parents 🤷‍♂️ logging this on the tablet takes literally 5 seconds, instead of having to spend 5 minutes with each parent at pickup

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Incident⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  A few minutes talking to you (and every other parent at pickup) is way, way, waaaaay more time than logging. You say “just,” but your request is at least 10x as expensive.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Incident⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  is the reason why I think its dystopian

  Yeah, I hate to break this to you, but we are living through a dystopia. Nobody can afford childcare and all childcare is understaffed

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Incident⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  And just to be clear, you believe that this would take less time away from the other children?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Incident⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  …do you think they aren’t dealing with other children during pickups?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Incident⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  so like 5 min an hour just logging shit they could spend with the parent when they pick them up

  Talking with parents takes far, far, far longer than logging something on your phone or a tablet. How is this idea not just a significantly worse time-sink?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Incident⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Agreed on the diaper change one, but the first half is literally what you said with a timestamp.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Isn't Batman's questioning Superman because he is an unknown entity basically the same reason Lex Luthor has against Superman?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  One of them questions superman, the other distrusts him implicitly and absolutely strives to destroy him at every opportunity.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Every support thread on Reddit is literally this now⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Reddit’s primary source of revenue is ads, that is a simple fact. What metrics do you think matter when it comes to ad revenue?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lemmy.World blocks VPN?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  lol, why use a VPN at all if you’re going to allow yourself to be fingerprinted like this?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it worth selling on eBay in 2025?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Start with a garage sale, so you don’t have to ship as much shit, it’s a major hassle when there’s a lot.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Every support thread on Reddit is literally this now⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  …you’re joking, right? There is not a company in the world that is happy to ignore 1/100th of their revenue disappearing.

  Is it going to kill reddit? Of course not. Are they “100٪ unaffected?” Of course not.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Every support thread on Reddit is literally this now⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  100% unaffected? It makes their data worth a lot less for AI training. Even if they keep comment history, these are edits - how do you determine which edit to use? Using all of them poisons the data, and picking one risks doing the same.
