- Comment on Why is so difficult to organize a strike 2 days ago:
The last time there was a serious strike in Seattle, we formed a General Strike Committee, which organized everything. They scheduled trash collection, organized laundry service, delivered food, and took over the hospitals so that healthcare continued. It’s trendy in today’s politics to act like striking is so easy – you just stay home from work! just go to the store the day before! – but to strike fear into the heart of the capitalist, you must provide a credible threat that you can keep on striking indefinitely, and that requires a lot of work and a lot of organization. Who has time for that when they’re working 3 jobs just to make rent?
- Comment on What do you think of the posting of easily searched questions here? 2 days ago:
Search on the internet has been completely broken by search providers and it’s getting worse all the time. I’m old enough to have opinions on Alta Vista vs Lycos, so I get that I might still have some tricks up my sleeve the kids these days are unaware of. I am bothered, but by what Google and Microsoft are doing, not by Gen Z kids who can’t figure out how to circumvent their enshittification.

- Comment on If Sodom and Gomorrah were real. How bad were they that god had to come down and smite them? Are they any comparison to today's society? 3 days ago:
In the biblical story, Lot believes the best way to get the residents of the city not to rape the two angels who came to visit him is to offer his virgin daughters instead, which doesn’t really portray them in a particularly positive light (and doesn’t really reflect well on Lot, either).

I didn’t have high expectations for upper class career dot com, but saying journalism jobs at WaPo have long been considered “stable” requires you to have ignored 100% of news about journalism jobs for the past thirty years.
- Comment on Physical disc production ending in January 2028 for new games releasing on PlayStation consoles 1 week ago:
Realistically, with half-finished games on launch and mandatory day one patches, this won’t be a meaningful shift in how much you actually “own” your games, but dropping this 2 days after they deleted 550 movies that folks had bought and paid for and ostensibly “owned” from the ecosystem is a real bad look.

Okay, but the kind of “extremely difficult thing” you could do to remove invasive bamboo is to pave over the affected area and build a data center.
- Comment on Are there words in reverse order between two languages using the Latin Alphabet? 1 week ago:
I mean, this happens pretty trivially with noun phrases in Spanish and English because Spanish is postpositive and English is prepositive.

I don’t have a concrete answer to your question, but it does sound an awful lot like you’re getting xckd 2501’d:
- Comment on is it spelled "grey" or "gray"? 3 weeks ago:
Gray is the correct spelling 🦅🇺🇸🎆🎸🤼♂️🍖
- Comment on How can maladaptive daydreamers possibly enjoy movies if they daydream and can't focus on the movie? 3 weeks ago:
This is a hell of a called shot on an account with one post and one comment and if you drain it I will be in awe.
- Comment on In the world of sports, politics, conversations, and argument, and much more. Which is the better stance to have? Offensive or Defensive? What is the overall no matter what it is O or D? 4 weeks ago:
If you have all defense and no offense, the best you can hope for is a 0-0 draw, which’ll never get you into the playoffs. If you play all offense, you can maintain possession and see out a narrow win, or just go whole hog and try to win 7-6. Please, Adrian, we desperately need someone who can score goals for the Reign, just playing anti-soccer nonstop is destroying me.
- Comment on Love/hate relationship with Bethesda Game Studio 4 weeks ago:
I bought Starfield when it hit PS5. I thought for sure the in the 2+ years since release they’d have time to work out the kinks from launch, like No Man’s Sky did. I’ve played maybe four hours, but driving the moon buggy causes the game to crash every time, and there hasn’t been a fix in months. I think it’s over for Bethesda and me, for good this time.

- Comment on My hand..... but but where's my hand? Hmm 5 weeks ago:
Certainly the most mildly irritating thing about this picture is that you’ve posted it to 10 separate communities (so far)
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
I do recognize your handle, I’ll give you that much.
- Comment on what do you all think of minimalizing a Lemmy subscription feed this way? Effective, experimental? other? 5 weeks ago:
Mostly what I think is it’s awesome we’ve come so far that folks are worried about their feed being too crowded. Time was folks’d say they’d browse every post from all and it still wasn’t enough.
- Comment on Watching World cup has no price 5 weeks ago:
Especially if you’re watching from an ICE detention cell
- Comment on 5 weeks ago:
I would say figuratively any. There are a few websites that build on Chrome-specific web features, but it’s not prohibitively many.
- Comment on 5 weeks ago:
I’m guessing you’re looking for librewolf or waterfox, though I doubt they are strictly lightweight or can browse literally any modern website.
- Comment on Its my turn to kiss him when she is done 1 month ago:
Iirc, dev started 5 years ago on lemmy, and the first non-ml instances started showing up around 3.5 years ago, but there’s been so many fedi projects over the years I may be misremembering.
- Comment on Its my turn to kiss him when she is done 1 month ago:
Attitude is a piefed feature that shows how much someone upvotes vs downvotes. When I clicked through to your profile, the first two things I see are account age (you left reddit because of the api stuff, I gather) and that you have an attitude of 100%, which means you basically only upvote.
- Comment on Its my turn to kiss him when she is done 1 month ago:
Mmm, I love an older account with a good attitude percentage. How you doin’?
- Comment on I'd like to change my last name and want suggestions 1 month ago:
me: Is that Gretchen from marketing?
my coworker: No, that’s Gretchen Marketing. She’s in sales.
- Comment on [piefed] what is "attitude"? 1 month ago:
Assuming I understand correctly, yes, everyone’s attitude on the instance will always be 100% and cannot change. Hopefully there’s a shortcut server-side that prevents blahaj.zone from having to run through the calculations repeatedly.
- Comment on [piefed] what is "attitude"? 1 month ago:
Attitude is a measure of how you vote — a person who gives only upvotes has 100% attitude, a user who only gives downvotes has -100% attitude.

You can use the calories to do anything, even make more babies!
- Comment on What's the difference between a mythology vs a religion? Are they both mutual? 1 month ago:
Christian mythology is the Jesus was baptized, or transfigured, or died and was resurrected.
Christian religion is that you must be baptized, or be confirmed, or receive communion.

np. I’m not much of a ufo/uap guy myself, but I’ll post what I come across.
