- Comment on The USA prided itself on a nation of immigrant, heck even the Statue of Liberty says it. When did immigrants (US citizens from the old world) become anti immigrant and why? 1 week ago:
That’s quite insightful.
- Comment on Would you ever give up your right to leave a bad review about a company? 2 weeks ago:
Most people will convert them to a 5 star in that event too as most companies won’t put forth the effort to listen to why you posted a 1 star in the first place. Those are my favorite anyway because 1) I don’t expect companies to be perfect (lord knows mine isn’t and I’m not) and 2) it shows you that they value their customers and want to make things right. Hard to find those these days.
- Comment on Is it realistic to hope that lemmy grows to the size of the bigger social media platforms? 2 weeks ago:
That’s fair and appreciate the support. A reason I don’t sometimes is that I want to engage in discussion when I don’t have time or the energy. If I could turn off reply notifications for each post that would be helpful.
- Comment on Is it realistic to hope that lemmy grows to the size of the bigger social media platforms? 3 weeks ago:
Honestly, as a centrist I’ve thought about leaving Lemmy multiple times and this is by far the biggest reason. I know I can’t have an intelligent discussion with someone if I don’t agree with them and god forbid I bring up anything positive about religion, they will crucify me every time. It’s the equivalent of them putting their fingers in their ears and just yelling. No thanks.
- Comment on Is there a more convenient way to do this? 3 months ago:
Ever been to Oktoberfest in Munich? 100% why everyone from around the world is having a great time together. It isn’t the bad English. Great advice!
- Comment on Are standing seats on airliners actually going to be a thing? 3 months ago:
Fantastic explanation and critical thinking process. Well done.
- Comment on Are we all suffering from "future shock" in 2025? 4 months ago:
When I go running the phone stays gone. It forces you to be present where you are. Very freeing.
- Comment on How do I decrease acne after shaving my face? 4 months ago:
Disagree. Really depends on the hair. Rotary pulls mine. I switched to foil a long time ago and haven’t had issues since.

When you find yourself in a hole, it’s wise to put down the shovel
Fantastic one liner. Absolutely stealing this.
- Comment on Who should america be more concerned about MS-13 or Russia? 4 months ago:
China. Military has been gearing up to defend Taiwan for years and the intervention has been moved up to only 2 years from now.
- Comment on How do I stop having expectations at the workplace? 5 months ago:
Not all workplaces are like this but a large majority are. People suck at great management.
On a specific to your career note, my wife has been an RN for decades at this point, 10 years at a local hospital. Management was trash there. Her co-workers were great but they made the job suck. They blamed the C-suite (yay, capitalism). What really got her was that she never felt backed by management and when a patient would outright lie, they’d back the patient every time. She left the hospital system to work for a private endo/gastro clinic and she said she should have made that decision years prior. She gets paid less than she would at a hospital but she happy and loves her coworkers and the docs that own the practice. They’ve won multiple awards and are top in the region.
Get the hell out of the hospital and find a great private practice. They’re out there and always looking for great nurses.
Good luck friend.
- Comment on Can iPhones receive files via Bluetooth? 5 months ago:
Use LocalSend. It’s open source and works great on all devices and platforms.
- Comment on Can iPhones receive files via Bluetooth? 5 months ago:
This is not accurate. It uses BT to establish the connection and then it transfers the data over peer to peer WiFi, which is why it’s so much faster than Bluetooth File Transfer.
- Comment on Which actor did not have a single bad film? 5 months ago:
Probably Daniel Day Lewis. He’s extremely picky about what he’s in.
- Comment on So this is it, is trump god? Will Republicans sacrifice their own well being to own the libs? 5 months ago:
This is accurate. I have a decent amount of Republican family and friends and this week was the first time I’d seen them go, “wait, oh HELL no.” I mean there is now a Republican group that is suing this administration for not following due process and circumventing Congress. That says a lot.
Just think about a retiree boomer who had their savings wiped out. What’s left to lose? Personally, I think there is a Julius Ceasar moment coming. Not condoning that but the writing is on the wall.
- Comment on If you could add, remove, or alter one single bodily function, what would it be? 5 months ago:
Am salaried and also had the exact same thought. I haven’t had a work break in … 10 years at least. My fault, yeah.
- Comment on I'm looking for a no frills, physical key EV. Am I looking for something that no longer exists? 5 months ago:
The reason there aren’t anymore crank windows isn’t because it’s a mandatory upsell, it’s because motorized is probably as cheap or even cheaper thanks to modern manufacturing and the preference of 99% of other people.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 months ago:
We need more people well off to do things like this. Well done!
- Comment on Is it better to leave a country, or stay behind to fight for it? And what about the ethics of fleeing instead of staying behind? 5 months ago:
I’m actually inspired. We need more of this!
- Comment on Why don’t wireless connections (WiFi, Bluetooth, etc.) use anything between 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz? 5 months ago:
Great answer getting to the point of the question.
- Comment on Best ad blocker for ios browser Safari? What would you suggest? 6 months ago:
AdGuard still works very well.
- Comment on What can I actually do with 64 GB or RAM? 6 months ago:
And that was with the same RAM on all 4 sticks?
- Comment on What can I actually do with 64 GB or RAM? 6 months ago:
Honestly, this is the answer and also the future of OS’s.
- Comment on What can I actually do with 64 GB or RAM? 6 months ago:
Sadly I have more on my phone than my work computer by a wide margin. I have 8 focus’s, each with something like 60 tabs. They’re basically bookmarks at this point. The phone does such a great job of killing those processes that it really doesn’t matter.
- Comment on How does this pic show that Elon Musk doesnt know SQL? 6 months ago:
They have several generations to go. Literally not a problem for us or our grandchildren.
- Comment on Are there any better mechanical keyboards that don't break the bank? 7 months ago:
Royal Kludge makes some good keyboards for less. Their wired on is super affordable but does have longer, louder travel.
- Comment on How are you actually doing today? 7 months ago:
Today was a bastard. Helped a bunch of people but now I’m mentally exhausted. Family has been great and I’ve got a cat sleeping on me. Couldn’t have ended better.
- Comment on how do I show a coworker that I care about her after her mother died? 8 months ago:
Another great idea!
- Comment on how do I show a coworker that I care about her after her mother died? 8 months ago:
We tend to give people giftcards to food places (like a few different ones they can pick).
We had some folks do that for us when my wife’s mom died and it did actually help. It relived some stress of having to come up with dinner when you’re depressed and sad. Getting out and eating at a restaurant can help you feel more connected to others or ordering delivery can help when you’re a mess and don’t want to be with others.
