Just give yourself plenty of time (arrive 3 hours before departure or earlier). Review your flight number and look at the screens every half hour to reassure yourself you’re at the correct gate.

If you want the Lemmy experience pre-Reddit exodus minus the communism, this seems like the place. Lemmy was less than 200 people at one point, look how we’ve grown.

- Comment on There's a noticable influx of trans kids in my job. Are there any topics I should avoid or considerations I should take into account when training them? 2 weeks ago:
Your comment highlights one of the difficulties I find with going between treating someone exactly as you would anyone else, while also dealing with particular sensitivities or sensibilities of that person. Even trying to describe how to be less offensive, includes wording that can sound offensive to some, justifiably so based on experience.
But all in all, I think most people will recognize good faith efforts and accept quick apologies and corrections when we make mistakes. We’re not perfect.

I think if you want more sympathy from Lemmy, you’d frame it more like “Hell yeah, someone published a video on how to pirate my videogame!! If you like it it’s on Steam/itch/GOG/wherever too”. Your screencap being fake or not.
- Comment on I can't believe this is a real article. Just wow. 2 weeks ago:
Lol. But the overall point is, regardless of whatever you believe in, the common theme of moral teachings is to be good to others, not how many hours you should work or how many times one should be beaten for a transgression. Anything else gained from religious text or tradition is a speculative interpretation brought from the ancient to the modern context, and should be taken and understood as such.

If Americans want to mold themselves in Jesus’ image of Christian perfection, the rich men in the world have to give to the poor, aka eat the rich.
Matthew Chapter 19, verses 21 to 24
Jesus told him, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow Me." When the young man heard this, he went away in sorrow, because he had great wealth. Then Jesus said to His disciples, “Truly I tell you, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”

Did an AI make this pricing strategy with the aim to double and triple dip on their customers as much as possible?
- Comment on $$$ave dat money 3 weeks ago:
It’s typically a US chain practice, but I see it in Canada since we have plenty of Walmarts and Costcos and the like here, I did see it at Hudson’s Bay do it on at least one occasion. Not sure about Europe, not common in Japan since their return policies are different and final sale products tend to use a sticker instead.
- Comment on $$$ave dat money 4 weeks ago:
Serious answer: Many stores have their price end in 6 or 8 to indicate items that are final sale. So it is clearance as in they don’t want it back, but really the price didn’t nominally change.
- Comment on who are you? 4 weeks ago:
In Japan they have two types of dates, which map to “Use by” and “Best before”, but they don’t use them interchangeably or some vague middle-of-the-road term like “expiry date”. One is operative, the other is a recommendation.
消費期限 (shouhi-kigen) literally means “consumption time limit” and 賞味期限 (shoumi-kigen) literally means “guarantee of taste time limit”.

I would like more unity with people who share alignment with me. Except for anyone who has a slightly different opinion than me on certain issues, screw those people.

Don’t let Musk or his companies anywhere near these projects. He and his team are experts at turning actual infrastructure into vaporware.

Sure the two top admins have some shitty opinions, but they still are the main people who have put this software out. The two have been tirelessly working on it for years and years, and have made code that helps everyone, whether you share their opinions or not.
- Comment on Transitioning in STEM 1 month ago:
I feel bad for female-presenting people having experienced being treated worse than their male peers. I didn’t grow up religious or anything, but I can sense where I could be perpetuating that hidden misogyny myself.
For example: In work and social life, I’ll give my phone number away to people I meet. But I’m not interested in relationships, so I’m far less likely to give it to women, since I don’t want anyone to think I’m trying to make any kind of sexual advances by doing that.
I’m pretty sure for men that aren’t outright misogynist jerks or bullies, it’s stuff like that where they feel as if they might be viewed as awkward providing professional favours to women when they wouldn’t think twice about it for their male peers. That leads to those experiences that women find themselves unable to receive those opportunities to get ahead in their career, or aren’t listened to, or have to advocate their position more when career advancement seems to fall more naturally to men.
- Comment on How important is it that cans are clean when i put them in the recycling. 1 month ago:
This is assuming you are expected by your council to clean it “thoroughly enough”.
After you eat/drink the contents, a very quick rinse is all that’s needed. Little stains aren’t going to be bad for recycling.
If you’ve left it for a while and are worried, a simple but surefire way to clean out any significant gunk would be these steps:
- Make sure you have a strainer on your sink drain if your plumbing system is fragile.
- Fill every can or jar with water to near the top
- Wait 15 minutes
- pour out a can into the sink
- fill the can with a bit of water and shake the last bits out
- pour and lightly rinse the rest of the cans in the same way
- bin the gunk caught by the strainer.
- Comment on 'Oh god': There's a buried Steam help page that shows how much money you've ever spent on the platform, and you may not want to know 1 month ago:
Main reason for me is that I have bought humble bundles, donated to gamejams, and gotten keys off of legit and grey-market sites in the past in conjunction with buying directly from Steam. Those aren’t included in the Steam spend category.
