but you are supposed to remove tumors, not give them their own section of the body

No? 1) I’m perfectly happy to say I don’t like tipping in general, too. I do it because that’s how we’ve apparently agreed service workers make any money at all. 2) I didn’t explicitly say I’m in the US, altho I did imagine our tipping culture to be a bit unique, so to be clear - I also don’t have much faith in labor laws getting consistently enforced here. 3) Who is getting tipped from self-service machine screens?

You can also take the smug armchair psych somewhere else, guy.

Yeah I have no idea who the tip even goes to sometimes.

And really in those cases, I assume straight to the business/owner. And then it’s like why am I volunteering to buy this at an additional markup?

Agreed!

People keep talking about the appeal of the megacommunities on Reddit, and I’m like… were they really that great? There was so much noise to sift through to get to anything real. Having decent discussions or building communities? Maybe if you’re in a small niche subreddit, but otherwise no.

Absolutely. I don’t think it’s really sunk in generally that the Fediverse is intended to operate fundamentally differently from a centralized system. An instance selectively (de)federating is how it’s supposed to work.

If the platform running as intended kills it, then there are big problems. I don’t think it will, but the user culture does have to change and incorporate knowledge of how the system works. We need to not have threads saying the Fediverse, a platform built on decentralization, needs to centralize as much as possible to survive.

Get paid up front or not at all with this guy. I dunno how anyone doesn’t know this by now.

There seems to be quite a few folks here that basically want the Lemmyverse to be Reddit with new management

Star Citizen still has fanboys?

Subdue the regret. Dust yourself off, proceed. You’ll get it in the next life, where you don’t make mistakes. Do what you can with this one, while you’re alive.

Oh Disco Elysium all the way, it’s possibly my favorite game. I have a notebook filled with lines in the game that stuck with me.

I want more of it, but it looks like that lightning won’t strike twice.

fwiw I did play it through twice, and maybe enjoyed it even more the second time - caught more of the little details
