  I don’t know if they’re accustomed to the norms more but Hooters starts as in person encounter. It’s already a very different dynamic from lurking online amongst hundreds watching a person knowing they can’t see you.

  Sadly I’ve still never seen any real papers on this being an actual theory.

  I’m still want to believe I’m Ent livestock though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does anyone else notice an up tick in hostility on Lemmy lately?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not always about the user count though. It’s about your end goals. There’s two types of social engineering. Mass and targeted. You’re focusing on the mass social engineering.

  Say you want specific information on how Crowdstrike works. You could launch a massive social engineering campaign on Twitter but if you don’t catch any of the engineers who work at Crowdstrike then what’s the point? You just spent all that money for nothing. It would be better to find where those engineers socialize online and try to inject yourself there, doesn’t matter the size of that community and it could very well be on Lemmy in one of the programmer communities.

  Now if you want to convince the entire world of something then yeah, focus on the big user counts, don’t worry about the small fry communities. It’s all about your end goal.

  Sometimes it’s not just the numbers but who those numbers are. Depending on what you’re trying to achieve, influencing all the techy Linux nerds that seem to make up Lemmy might be more helpful than just blowing into the wind for as many as possible on Twitter or whatever.

  I’ve got no data either way on this, just some basic social engineering training for work.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I landed in another toxic workplace after quitting a previous one. What would you do in this scenario? (Open to all suggestions)⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I helped my last company not fully unionize but come together to demand change. I got the support of several teams backing me to confront management on their return to office policy. Management changed their minds quick.

  It’s not easy and was basically a second job for a few months for me, but you could always try to start the unionization effort.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I landed in another toxic workplace after quitting a previous one. What would you do in this scenario? (Open to all suggestions)⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It depends on why it’s toxic. You say it’s the people but that can still vary a lot. If it’s because the other people are constantly attacking and belittling you then I’d (personally) just put my head down, do my work, and keep a hunt for a new job on the side.

  If however they’re “difficult” because they’re set in their ways and don’t like change and aren’t good at expressing their point of view and you find yourself clashing on what to do and how. It’s different. I’ve found I can adapt to those kinds of people and we eventually find a rhythm that works for both of us.

  I’ll also add I’ve had jobs with five different companies with people from many countries, and I’ve yet to find a job where at least some of the people aren’t toxic. I’ve sometimes had success requesting moves to teams/projects away from the most toxic people. But unfortunately “knuckle down and put up with crappy people” is what’s worked the best. But only you can know for yourself if you can do that in your current situation.

  I’d also be looking for an EU sugar mama as much as possible on the side.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When a person gains weight and keeps the weight on for a long time, is that old fat in your body, or does the fat get replaced over time?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Kind of? The cells, called adipocytes, primarily store triglycerides and a few other things in a liquid form. When you lose weight that liquid gets squeezed out and used as energy, to build other chemicals your body needs, or peed straight out.

  So less a shower and more getting rung out like a sponge.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When a person gains weight and keeps the weight on for a long time, is that old fat in your body, or does the fat get replaced over time?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The 7 year thing is a myth. Howtown has a very good summary on it. 7 year myth some cells are replaced but how often depends on the cell type, some never get replaced.

  When you gain weight your fat cells grow, and when you lose weight they shrink. You don’t actually gain and lose fat cells the way people think. However, the stuff in those cells could very well be old. It’s a complex system and hard to sum up and I’m only friends with the biology people from college but that’s what I understand from them.

  I’ve never seen convincing arguments for that. However, if you think about it, Google wants you to stay scrolling through it forever. The more sponsored links and ads they can show, the more money they make. They didn’t need to make it worse for AI, they made it worse for profit

  Oh, you have identical specs and built at the exact same time? Yeah, half of you are going to randomly have issues and half won’t. Enjoy head casing about that.

  That’s probably not the cause of the issues here though. Denuvo impacts game performance but not as badly as Borderlands 4 is seeing. The engine they chose has issues even on non denuvo games. It’s an unoptimized mess and then gearbox didn’t optimize any further themselves.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My credit union no longer allows me to payoff pending purchases made on my credit card⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Getting a new credit card can heavily impact your credit score and impact financial decisions for years. It isn’t something that should be done if you can help it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My credit union no longer allows me to payoff pending purchases made on my credit card⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Many don’t have a choice, especially in the US. Without playing the credit game you end up paying significantly more in loan interest for things like a house or car or can’t even get a loan. One of the easiest ways to keep a good credit score is to have a credit card you’ve had forever and that you consistently use and pay off.

  It’s a goodbye screwed up system

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My credit union no longer allows me to payoff pending purchases made on my credit card⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  A lot of people either forget or don’t carefully track the money as spent when it’s still in their back account so they spend it again. It’s just generally a hassle and more work vs just having a habit of paying off as you go and being able to see exactly what’s still in your bank account.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A conundrum⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  With new water heaters yes, do your maintenance. Old water heater that came with the place and hasn’t been touched in years? Yeah, the advice is to actually not flush it because you don’t know what cracks that gunk might be blocking up and it will be more likely to fail on you sooner.

  Horned Demon and Marco Polo jokes aside, I say run with it. As much as millennials get crapped on for choosing weird names they’ve at least suck to it and I’d hope it would make room for more names. It has meaning to you, go for it.

  Every kid will get picked on for their name at some point.

  4. Pretty much the only person who gets what they want is the one main character leading the thing
  5. Swamp
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨As a treat⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s the salt mostly. Especially with indoor cats who often don’t get wet food and so are on the under hydrated side of things as they tend to not drink as much as they should.

  Technically any without garlic or onion is safe for them to have a tiny bit as a treat but it’s so incredibly easy to overdo that it’s just safer to not give it to them.

  Too much nitrates or nitrites is bad for cats yes, but they’d have to eat an excessive amount for it to be a concern and again the excess salt would be a bigger issue first.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Informative review ⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I can (potentially) explain the double bagged paper. Growing up in the South that was the de-facto cooling rack, no wires racks. They were cut open, laid on any flat surface, them cookies or cakes or what have you were laid on them to cool. They’d wick away moisture or grease and be easy clean up.

  Free with groceries and if they were double bagged you had enough for a double batch of chocolate chip cookies while also usually guaranteeing (usually) the bag wouldn’t split from condensation or something before you got home.
