This is referring to after you know the person, already have their number, etc. You still text before every call.
- Comment on Hell nah brah 1 hour ago:
I think it’s somewhat age gated. But I love it. A phone call or of nowhere means I need to drop everything and give you my full attention, and I have to make that decision within 20 seconds or it’s too late.
A text first gives me so many more options. Especially if I like to prepare, for example, stepping out of the crowded office. Or parking the car. (Which still works even if I don’t read texts until parked.)

I think most any full time job in the US has bereavement leave.
It’s only the poorest of the poors that get absolutely fucked, as is tradition.

I believe the 4% approval rating. After all, it was from a fresh poll out of Russia.

He intended it. He very clearly, extremely clearly intended it. The best possible interpretation is that he instead to do it because he wanted to troll people and he’s the biggest moron imaginable, but that really doesn’t check out. He did it from behind the presidential seal.
He was aware of what he was doing. He considered his actions well in advance.
Attempting to add doubt to that idea is promoting the neo-Nazi agenda. You’re trying to turn his bullhorn into a dog whistle. It’s offensive and near bannable.
I try to use words over mod/admin tools when possible, and if you’re trying to do what it appears you’re trying to do, then it’s not very effective.

First, I’m generally not following around people on YouTube and DeviantArt and random archive / link shorteners to gather evidence to ban people on Lemmy. I was not pleased when I clicked on the “evidence” and it took me to YouTube.
Second, while I was very near ready to ban based on the denial of Musk’s Nazi salute, it does seem like they’re just horribly wrong. Maybe a bit of sealioning on this issue. I’d advise shin to avoid going further down this path, and hopefully you were just blatantly ignorant of the evidence others have provided (AfD, etc.)
I’m open to revisiting in the future, particularly if they abuse their power as mod.

It happens 10x less often on other instances that have 10x fewer people.
Not that hard to figure out, unless you have an agenda you’re trying to push.

And this is the innocuous form of it. Places who don’t serve children often are generally happy to make their profits off of adults and worry less about income from the odd child (especially Starbucks).
If you want to see real tiered pricing, look at all the fast food apps. The purpose of those is to extract as much money from you as possible. Those who don’t want to deal with them pay double, and they don’t lose much business from those who refuse because they’re often willing to use the apps.

Doesn’t the right want to ban porn?
- Comment on I am in the US and its gotten very political but as pretty much a peon do I just tune the stuff out thinking its fear mongering? Or should I closely pay attention to it? 3 weeks ago:
Also, bullshit. You think climate change doesn’t affect us? The damage to NATO? Threatening Greenland?
I get your point that a lot of hate is directed at immigrants and minority groups, but you don’t need to be dismissive to such a large group of people, many of which are on your side.
Don’t try to make extra enemies. No war but class war.

Hired clowns or magicians aren’t really a thing outside of movies, afaik.
One or two big birthday parties growing up is pretty common. Not every year. I had one for my 16th.

There are generally nonverbal cues, yes. If you’re unsure, then asking is better.

Well, it’s hard to call it libel, because they hardly made any actual claims. I was waiting to hear about the “unprofessional behavior”, but they seem to have forgotten that part?
The only unprofessional behavior seems to be the post itself. If you’re going to make allegations, make actual allegations or don’t say anything.

Well, except that it’s nearly always super damaging.
The US version would be more like collecting cans back when they had a 5 or 10 cent deposit. Today I can’t really think of anything like that. Maybe driving Uber/Lyft. Or just panhandling/begging.

Good point.
- Comment on Mildly McInfuriating 1 month ago:
It’s largely because of new tiered pricing. They want to extract the maximum price while not losing any customers.
To do this, they first double or triple all their prices. Then, for those who are willing to stand on one leg, pat their head, and rub their stomach* while ordering the right things, they’ll charge you half price.
(*By this I mean use their app. The main purpose of the app and the deals are to charge everyone what they’re willing to pay.)
- Comment on Anon discovers Japanese jazz 1 month ago:
Europe took a long stroll in that direction too, but there are some major differences. First, most of their cities were established before cars. Second, they’re making more of an active attempt (in some areas) to be walkable again.
In short, in America 75 years is a long time. In Europe, 75 miles (120km) is a long way.
