• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is "Not to mention" and "Not to leave out" the same thing?⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Not to mention is an addition to a list that’s so obvious it’s an afterthought. I’ve never heard the other expression used.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do we tolerate it that Luigi Mangione is being held in prison. We know its absolutely the least safe place he can be?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  They did it to Joe Hill.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do we tolerate it that Luigi Mangione is being held in prison. We know its absolutely the least safe place he can be?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think it’s the inmates OP is worried about.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  My bias might be at play. Oblivion broke a lot of what was good about Morrowind but also made some improvements. Skyrim improved on what was better and fixed most of what was broken (spellcrafting being a notable exception). Oblivion does have some great storylines, sure, but even there it’s no better than Skyrim and often worse.

  I get that for those whose first TES game was Oblivion it was amazing. But for those of us who’d played Daggerfall and Morrowind it was a let-down, a big dip between Morrowind and Skyrim.

  It’s going to be worse than Skyrim in every way except maybe graphics.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Original DLC is included in the base remaster.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New to lemmy. Is there a version of /r/changemyview?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Part of the problem is that discussion of this issue in particular was very often not civil and created a hostile environment for users.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New to lemmy. Is there a version of /r/changemyview?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  That matches my experience with reddit admin. One of my subs had to implement exactly the same rule.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you know any software development philosophy books?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Getting Real and The Cathedral and the Bazaar

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Too fucking many, extending the worst of the pandemic by months and months and causing thousands upon thousands of unnecessary deaths.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Instead of Orange Man doing Tariffs would it not have been better for him to talk about shopping locally and so forth. And giving more tax breaks to companies that stay and sell in the US?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  He doesn’t do “better”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  But that’s already how math is taught. Examples, word problems, discussion of applications. It helps students grasp the concepts to know their purpose and use.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨As a child of the 90s we grew up with PC Political Correctness. Is that WOKE but just in a different form?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  PC is what people call basic politeness when they don’t wanna do it.

  Respecting basic human dignity for outgroups is a core part of being woke, for sure.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨is it ok to call a woman “sir” in your opinion?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  By accident? Probably fine as long as it’s not a pattern.

  On purpose? No, that’s shitty.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In the United States; is it illegal to use a single serve wrapped slice of Kraft cheese as a postcard?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You can use any piece of cardstock. I used to cut rectangles out of cereal boxes and use those.

  I think it does have to be cardstock or similar weight, though; cheese might not meet the requirements.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If I snapped you back in time 650 years right this very second, how would you use your current knowledge to succeed?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Blame OP, she’s the one who sent me back in time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If I snapped you back in time 650 years right this very second, how would you use your current knowledge to succeed?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Unfortunately in that circumstance, I’d likely be a horrible vector for disease. Not much chance of survival if I spread devastation wherever I go.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Traveling Salesman is NP-Hard, yet Uber Eats delivery route optimization algorithms exist⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Finding the best route is NP-complete. Finding a route is trivial. Finding a pretty good route is good enough for their purposes.

  Also keep in mind they’re not to much trying up find the best route between static stops as trying to minimize time between pickup and dropoff for a list of (origin, destination) pairs, constrained by staggered start times for the pickup origins. It’s fundamentally a different problem.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not, though. Shirts have sleeves. Shirts cover the chest, armpits, and shoulders. Tanks are at best athleticwear and at worst underwear.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Should visitors to a country (tourist / visa-holders / people staying temporarily) have the right to criticize the government? When should an immigrant have the right to criticize the government?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Should doesn’t enter. They do have that right, it’s a human right, the right of free expression. Doesn’t depend on nationality or location, only humanity.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are most people here left-wing?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Quibble: Many here are explicitly leftist, in the a leftist-not-liberal sense, and will even use “liberal” derogatorily. So, progressive, yes, but liberal, not necessarily.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨LinkedIn’s cofounder Reid Hoffman says seeking work-life balance is a red flag that you’re ‘not committed to winning’⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The quote is right though I suspect he means something very incorrect by it. If your work is hostile to your life, you’re losing; ditch that job immediately.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Exactly the current situation.

  And that includes cryptographic techniques, by the way.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How does one snap their fingers?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Press your middle finger and thumb together with your pinky in the hollow of the gerl of your hand and your ring finger slightly overlapping it at the base of the thumb. Move the thumb out of the way to the side, allowing the middle finger to accelerated down to strike the spot where the ring finger meets the base of the thumb.

  How I learned? In a dream. I literally woke up snapping my fingers and I’ve been able to do it ever since.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the best political movie? And what is the best apolitical movie?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Dave and The Princess Bride

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why dont more people live in smaller communities , appart from economic opportunity (WFH is making it possible if not prefferable too)⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My neighborhood is my “small community”. I don’t need to leave the city for that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨American and British English spelling and pronunciations⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s “grey” not “gray”. I don’t know which side prefers which, I just know what I prefer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a non leftist version of this website?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh shit, it is that guy. A drama in three acts.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Other than a faulty charging port, is there any reason to use a wireless phone charger over wired?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So I can keep the waterproof case sealed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What art style you want to reproduce?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  JC Leyendecker

  hands down, my favorite 2D artist
