I have couple friends who's wives complain that they play to many video games. I've never understood this because my spouse and I both play games, mostly single-player games in the same room and we love it. And if they don't feel like playing games, they have other hobbies, or read, or anything else. If your partner needs be be giving you attention, there is something wrong with the relationship

I'm missing the cookout!
I've been in the nerdy tech space for decades now and I will never understand how these people expect things like Linux to take charge while they're also being the most gatekeepy and arrogant people. Sure, I'd love folks to try it out, but I'm not going to demonize them either for not. I also have done tech support and there are the people where I just say "Nope, get a mac" because otherwise I will be the person that they go and demand free support from every week.
There's passion, but then there's a line that is too often crossed that goes into ego and selfishness, and I think Lemmy just breeds that.
I think it matters community to community - but I don't disagree with you. Personally, I suggest curating a list of communities that you like and subscribing to them. It's been much more pleasant having that than the barrage of All.
People who are slaves to trends will happily be giving away more of their money because 3 trends are merging for a limited time thing
No this is called a real protest. Protests that are quiet and don't bother anyone happen every day - and are ignored every day.
Here we are, talking about this one, like the rest of the nation.
I think he's one of those "protesting is great as long as it doesn't affect anyone", aka out of sight out of mind protesting.
I used to be like that until I realized that it would accomplish nothing. Their reasoning is that "you aren't winning any friends" which you aren't, but you are on every news channel with your message up there vs just being people in a park
I immediately assumed anyone who said it was no big deal that they were doing it have never worked a service job in their life.
I mean having basic human empathy would also work, but if you don't have that then service jobs show you first hand being on the bottom rung of society, having every Karen scream at you over arbitrary bullshit or having grown ass men throw hamburgers at you because someone else put too many pickles on it.
That's already been a thing. It's well documented that super hero movies' villains all usually start as people who just want to change the status quo, but then do one ultra violent thing to make destroying them justified.
Even Thanos had a very real point, they just made him a monster by acting on it violently. But they never went back to "uh, but he did have a point, his world did literally die because they exhausted the resources". But how could you ever side with him when he violently acted on it, so his point must be invalid.
Repeat ad nauseum for most other superhero movies.
I think I have...
it was very telling that the managers didn't seem to care at all
