Maybe some of us will, but not all of us. I'm already better at troubleshooting things than my gen z coworkers because they never had to go through the things that we had to go through to make things work, or at least they don't know how to google things to find solutions to things like I do.
My buddy wants to play Baldur's Gate 3 but I don't feel like paying for it.

Serious question: there isn't any tracking software installed on my work computer, and I use a VPN browser extension. Is it still possible for my employer to see what I'm doing?

I recently became a Swiftie, and I'm sure like a lot of other Swifties, I won't shut the fuck up about her. She (and her music) truly lives rent free in my head. So, understandably, my wife is a little annoyed. So on Friday night, she started a timer and told me she wanted to see how long I could go without mentioning her. It started out annoying because I kept thinking of things that I wanted to say, like references to her lyrics, but I couldn't. For example: * Her 9 year old cousin started off a sentence with "I, I, I" as if she didn't know how to continue her sentence and my mind went "see how this is gonna go" * Later, her cousin said she wanted to "cry in the back of the car" because the baseball team we were watching lost, and my mind started singing the lyrics to both Cruel Summer and Getaway Car * My wife said something about how in her "wildest dreams" she wouldn't imagine something happening * Later, she said "we aren't out of the woods yet" in terms of it not raining But then I started turning it back on her. She says that I take things too literally sometimes (I am neurodivergent, which is probably fueling my obsession), so I used that against her. She said I couldn't *mention* Taylor Swift, but she never said I couldn't use common phrases that appear in Taylor's song titles and lyrics, so I started using them in every day speech. Some examples: * Saying "Hey babe, 'I don't know about you...'" waiting for her to gasp, and then saying "I am not really hungry enough to eat a full dinner" * Drinking some lavender lemonade and saying it "tasted 'hazy'" * She was hangry for a little bit and said that she was fine, so I said "you're OK but you're not fine at all" (this one was probably not a good idea to say but I couldn't resist XD) * Mentioning that I hope someone receives "Karma" for being a douchebag on the road I also wore my Taylor Swift shirt and told her I didn't mention her so she had to keep the timer going. The other thing I did was argue that if one of her songs came on during a full library shuffle, that it didn't count either, because I didn't specifically pick the song to play. I ended up screwing up after 39:45:47 bc Love Story and then I Want It That Way by the Backstreet Boys came on during a car ride and we sang along to both, and afterwards I said "If you would have told me two years ago that I'd be singing Love Story and IWITW in the car I'd have laughed in your face" which counted because I named one of her song titles. The whole thing was annoying at first but then became kinda fun lol.

Hi fellow yinzer
For example, if a lyric contains "that you", it ends up like "thatchoo". One example of this I can think of is in Karma by Taylor Swift (I know, I know, but it's one of the most popular songs I listen to). The line where she sings "Karma's a relaxing thought/Aren't you envious that for you it's not?" sounds like "arentchoo". It doesn't happen every time but it seems to happen unless you're consciously making an effort to not make that sound. An example of this is in Love Story where she sings "That you were Romeo/You were throwing pebbles", and it sounds like if you were just talking to someone and said "that" and "you" separately. I'm just wondering if this happens in other languages with different combinations of sounds? It probably happens with other sound combinations in English too, but this is the easiest example to think of.

I have no idea how many US service members there are in the US but it's a non issue for two reasons. One, the US population far outnumbers them and two, I bet when the fighting starts there would be a lot of desertions because it would mean killing their friends, family and fellow countrymen.
Pessimistic defeatist attitude won't get us anywhere.
Edit: oh and before I became a socialist my friend who is in the military (and has been for a while) reminded me how effective guerrilla warfare is. See: Vietnam and Korea.

Please read the book Socialist Reconstruction that was put out by the Party for Socialism and Labor. The sentence that you have starting with "Marxism" is not factual and completely debunked by not only the chapter on farming, but any of the chapters that touch on climate change at all.

Every single person who is fully capable of rational thought knows that this is actually murder. So is a full or near term abortion. Only idiotic conservatives think that stopping a fetus that would be nonviable on its own from continuing to grow is murder.

dumb question but once I talk to one tattoo artist, am I stuck with them? is talking to multiple artists frowned upon in tattoo culture?
I have an idea for a tattoo I'd like to get for my cat when she goes to the rainbow bridge but I'm not sure how to best execute it. I have two tattoos but both of them are simple symbols so this is one is going to be more involved. I would just like to have the idea more formulated before finding the right artist.

Not sure about transgender posts, but the communist posts are probably because other platforms are owned by huge corporations, and huge corporations generally don't like communism. Lemmy can never be bought by a huge corporation (at least not entirely).

Let's use lemmygrad.ml as an example. My home instance is lemmy.world, which I see has defederated from lemmygrad.ml. If I post to a community on lemmygrad.ml, will everyone be able to see it? What if the opposite is true? What if lemmygrad.ml is the one who defederated from lemmy.world, and not the other way around as in the above example? I'm just a little confused by how federation works. I know that I won't see lemmygrad.ml posts on my All feed due to defederation, regardless of who defederates with whom.
We are normally good at masking bc its expected of us but I am so tired of it. I'm so tired of having to pretend like I'm someone I'm not. Then when we mess up and let our guard down or make a mistake and accidentally show people we are ND, we get dogpiled or yelled at. It sucks especially bc we sometimes don't understand social mores, so even when we are confident that we are acting the way NTs expect us to, we can end up wrong and still get yelled at. It's awful bc we are never gonna create a more equitable society if we can't have these types of conversations with NTs. We have to show them that bring ND isn't an insult, but that's when we get yelled at or made fun of.
I support the writer's guild strike because they are not part of the bourgeoisie. The same can't be said of a lot of these rich actors who own a ton of capital themselves. So on the one hand, it kind of seems like the bourgeoisie is fighting the bourgeoisie on this one. On the other hand, not every actor in the guild is as successful as Tom Cruise, so some of those striking actors are working class.
I'm looking to try a psychedelic but most seem at best to have blunted effects while on SSRIs or at worst be dangerous to take at the same time. It looks like ketamine might be relatively safe, but I'm looking for others that might be safe too.
I don't know much about modding a community, I just created this because I wanted to see Steelers content on Lemmy. PM me info like why you want to mod this community, any experience you have modding things (like discord or a subreddit, specifically which servers/channels and how long you modded them for) and ideas you have for the community and I'll pick 2-3 people. Edit: On second thought, please send me a PM with the info I requested in the above paragraph, and then comment on this thread. To appoint a mod, the person has to have interacted with the community at least once.
