The term carrot and stick doesn't sit well with me. If you hit a donkey with a stick then it's likely it won't trust you enough to accept a carrot later.

  • You're approaching this from the wrong direction. No one is saying this is the correct way to raise animals, everyone is just saying this is LITERALLY what the phrase means.

    For wha it's worth I have ridden both a horse and a donkey, though I am unsure why this is a sticking point for you on a language question

    • Oblivion remake is... really making it apparent how outdated Bethesda is in its approach to making games

    Jump

  • Clair Obscur came out the same time and it's probably the best RPG I've ever played, and I've played every noteworthy one in the last 40 years at least. GOTY at the LEAST.

  • Have worked at Barnes and Noble before, the Harry Potter Craze was insane, I get it

  • Just curious, why did your boss require you to read Twilight?

  • It's hard enough getting acclimated here and then someone comes along and asks an innocent question or looks for more information and it's all "fIrST oF AlL ThIs IsN't ReDdIt" like no shit, shut the fuck up and stop being the problem with this site that makes people leave.

  • Sounds like you're angling for me to have a million things to say to you

    • Powerpuff Girls fans in the modern day reassessing how the show portrays non-heteronormativity [Day 56]

    Jump

  • You make a good point I hadn't taken the time to think about before. There's not really too many heroes like that. Everyone deserves their chance to see themselves as the hero

    • Would you consider this acceptance...?

    Jump

  • My parents would say this to jole then ask what my preferred name is. It all depends on your type of relationship and what was cut off.

  • "Villains can't be queer or it's bigotry" is the worst take. Gimme badass queer villains. Human stories are human stories.

    • Big oof

  • 93 yes. 96 no. Rounding

    • What some weird stuff your body does?(can be NSFW)

    Jump

  • I can dislocate my joints at will. Thing with Ehlers-Danlos but it's a nice party trick

    • Is there a "normie" or more mainstream instance for Lemmy?

    Jump

  • Lemm.ee was specifically created during the reddit exodus as a way to manage the influx and is very loosey goosey. Unfortunately that means you have to block the horrible instances manually, but it is what you're looking for I believe

    • With today's update I dare say Voyager is now better than Apollo was

    Jump

  • Connect has had this and everything else for a long while but it's a bit janky on image loading occasionally. Still best Lemmy client I've used, though that may be because I'm coming from RiF and not Apollo, super similar

    • US men are dying much earlier than women, as death 'gender gap' widens: Study

    Jump

  • You seem like a very angry person. You should probably stop calling people 'tards' and 'pussies' while you advocate for for mental health and against sexism but I would first work on that near homicidal rage you seem to be harboring.

  • Maybe you should talk to them first instead of wishing for them to pay for help not involving you.

    • Advice on helping a loved one through alcoholism?

    Jump

  • I know, we're both predisposed to alcoholism, we've both had family die to it. I've struggled with it a little bit myself in my younger years. I know that if she chooses alcohol over us then there's nothing I can do about it. And honestly it's right at that point now. I love her and I always want to be there for her, but if she pushes me away I...I mean I know I deserve better and I know I can't live like that but I'm just going to do my damndest for as long as I can. She'd do the same for me.
