George Carlin, euphemisms

I'm in Canada so left on silver parachute due to mass layoff laws. The issue in most places isn't the abrupt notice, it's the shitty labor laws.

I agree a no-reply email isn't the way to go, but we shouldn't be surprised.

I was part of the first big wave and they hard warned us maybe potentially there might perhaps be restructing and "resizing". We agonized for months waiting to know if it was our teams or no, if we had to look (this was before Unity nosedived and buddy quit).

I would have preferred it be abrupt I think

Wait till they say vaccines cause polio.

I was watching the flat earther bigwigs get an all included trip to the south pole to watch the sun not set for more than 24 hours. They went and admitted theyr were wrong and were immediately called shills and banned from their communities. They aren't even saying the earth is round, just that this part is true and flat earth needs a new model.

You can't fix these people.

They are pretty much the same people, with the communities being split a bit differently. People on Lemmy tend to think "they are different".

I haven't been on reddit since rif stopped working , so I'm comparing to those years and before. There's just as much bigotry, ad hominems and unnecessary fighting/arguing.

Edit: aside from all the lemmy porn, i never blocked subs or filtered words on either platform. People will do that heavily and have their own little view of lemmy/reddit

Everyone agrees youre just making stuff up at this point.

fuckup this well established term

dude just Google "flagship meaning"

the best or most important thing owned or produced by a particular organization.

Theres a company called The minimal company, their best and most important product is a small "minimal phone". That's their flagship phone. It's not hard to understand

Dunno either it was just a joke, we all have duo to do!

Minimal company's flagship phone is the minimal phone

That's why theyre in a hurry to pay politicians to make it very illegal to do the same. It's like incels making arbitrary rules to stay relevant.

Each fleet has its flagship, all companies have flagships. Yes the best phone of each company is their flagship. Flagship phones isn't limited to some arbitrary sized companies.

Terms have specific uses, let’s not dilute them to make ourselves feel better. Language IS fluid, but when people are obstinate to already preestablished conventions

Ok there why didn't you bother opening a dictionary or googling it.

noun

the ship in a fleet which carries the commanding admiral.

the best or most important thing owned or produced by a particular organization.

He's just saying most phones companies (of all sizes) are making are big phones. Get over yourself

The issue with this is using logic against them, it won't work. When it's them it's not the same because "they're in the right", or they blatantly know they are doing it and say it's because others would do it to them anyway.

This isn't something that is going to be won intellectuality

This makes no sense. Large doesn't mean fancy. Back in the day, making the phone smaller was fancy.

The minimal company's flagship phone is a minimal phone. It's their signature phone. The flagship was the ship that had the ranking officer/admiral on it, representing the fleet. Apple, google etc all decided their flagship phone would be huge.

OP wants more flagship phones, that is the type of phone the company markets as its main phone, to be smaller. It has little to do with the best but how phones are used. So tell him "tough luck because most people use their phones as a TV so they will remain big". It's not because that's a better phone.

You have some duolingo to finish up buddy

A bad person can create a good product sure, doesn't mean we need to support it.

Those are some pretty easy to answer questions?

• for the same reason a kitchen island is in the middle of a corner
• it's a pallet of eggs, someone dropped it there with a jig
• it seems one side of the corner has a barrier, the pallet attemps to complete it and prevent people from going that way (a cash register might be there). Or the person dropping it wasn't careful
• only bleached eggs need a fridge, most of the world doesn't bleach their eggs so they can stay on the counter.
• why not 15? Base 12 makes sense because it's a highly divisible number (1/2/3/4/6/12) so a lot of stuff are dozens or half a dozens, but there's no reason eggs need to be. It likely has to do with "the packing problem" which is a difficult math problem of how to shape stuff so you fit the most in a truck load
• other countries have other languages, and even sometimes completely different alphabets that resemble or share the same roots as English
• you are experiencing another culture.

You can often bypass the login requirement by changing you location, or removing everything after and including the ? in the link.

Some who can't see the above link might be able to see this one (same but without parameters).

Same reason suckerberg went full elon. It's the gold rush of corporate greed with a conman at the helm
