  • Technically two syzygies.

  • What's something you enjoy eating that other people think is super weird?

  • Last time I made it, I fried the bread in a little bacon grease.

    The point is that you don't want the bread to distract you from the core ingredients. Bacon and cream cheese are magical, the way they complement each other.

  • None of that affects me, but if I switch, which one should I switch to?

  • I’m so sick of this dumb ass argument…

    The server question was 100% the reason I didn't join Lemmy right away. It's not that I didn't understand what a server is. It's that the signup form was asking me to make a decision I didn't know the answer to, so I gave up.

    With a little more hand holding, I'd have joined months before I actually did.

  • I tried to join Lemmy during the API debacle, but then it asked me to choose a server. It didn't explain what that meant or how it would affect me. I could read a long, confusing explanation of it elsewhere, but that illuminated nothing. So I gave up.

    Eventually I tried again and just chose lemmy.world, since it was the largest. After that it was smooth sailing, and I like Lemmy a lot more than reddit. It turns out it didn't even really matter which server I chose. (Although now I see some comments from people saying there's something wrong with lemmy.world.)

    You just need to hold the new user's hand a little. Anyone who has ever designed a UI for an office environment would know immediately that the server question is going to be an impenetrable wall for many users.

  • Usually when I see the same meme reposted over and over, I start to downvote. But not this one. This one always gets an upvote from me.

  • Pretty sure that's the emoji for "thwip".

  • Peanut butter and jelly, of course.

    I was having lunch in the break room once, and a wise old man came in and asked me what I was eating.

    "Peanut butter and jelly," I said.

    "I think that's the best sandwich they ever did come up with," he replied, then walked away.

    I think about that a lot.

  • Bacon and cream cheese sandwich on white bread.

    It's the second greatest sandwich ever.

  • Oh, he's just going down a rabbit hole! He's going on a cute little adventure where he does a fucking Nazi salute in front of the whole country, then proceeds to recklessly dismantle huge parts of the US government, but it's all just part of his magical little journey! Teehee!

  • Google officially changes the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America on Maps

    Jump

  • That solves the problem this time, but it doesn't help if I'm trying to navigate somewhere new.

    If it doesn't have the address for a 30-year-old house in a major metropolitan area, then I just don't think it's a viable replacement for Google Maps, unfortunately.

  • Google officially changes the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America on Maps

    Jump

  • I'm all for swapping apps, but Organic Maps doesn't even have my home address. And I live in a major metropolitan area.

  • How do you combat choice paralysis?

    Jump

  • When I go to a restaurant, I don't read the whole menu anymore. As soon as I find something I'd like, I stop reading and order it. Occasionally my wife will point out something on the next page that she thinks I'd like more, but I don't do it myself.

    It's made my dining experience so much better over the years. I don't stress about the food I'd rather eat and just enjoy what's in front of me.

    It works because in that situation, like many situations, there's more than one right answer. If I get the omelette, I'll be happy. If I get the pancakes, I'll be happy. If I get the omelette while I'm thinking about the pancakes (or vice versa), that's the only wrong answer.

    So that's something I like to remind myself of. Sometimes you're stressing yourself out between two right answers, so it's ok to just pick one and run with it.

  • AOC says she's worth less than $500,000 after kickback claims — and seems to get kudos from Trump fans in response

    Jump

  • AOC can build coalitions. She even wrote legislation with Ted Cruz. She only stopped working with him after he effectively tried to have her killed on January 6th.

  • Elon Musk says he might sue Gov. Tim Walz over accusations he gave a Nazi salute

    Jump

  • What a great idea! Have it confirmed in a court of law that Musk performed a Nazi salute at Trump's inauguration.

  • What are some exceptions to the standards problem?

    Jump

  • Not exactly this, but it reminds me of my first job. I used to work in finance, and I was given the task of automating cash flow reports that were sent out to hundreds of clients.

    The problem was that they were made manually in Excel, and most of them were unique. So every couple years they'd get a bunch of smart people in a conference room, and tell them to figure out how to automate the cash flows. The first step was always to create a standard cash flow template, and convince everyone to adopt it.

    Some users would adopt the new template, but most of them would say that the client didn't like it, so they'd stop using it and the project would fall apart.

    By the time I got there, there were still hundreds of unique cash flows, but then there were a few dozen that shared the same handful of templates, like a graveyard of failed attempts to automate this process.

    I just made the output customizable. The reports looked the same as what the client was used to, but it saved hundreds of man hours for the users. A lot of people got laid off.

  • I don't see how any of that applies to what I said.

    If you want to focus on the worst proponents of these ideologies, please let's take a closer look at MGTOW and see if it's a reaction to misandry or if it's just straight-up misogyny. Because I promise you it's straight-up misogyny.
