There was some pseudoscience going around a while back about people can be left brain or right brain thinkers. Supposedly it came down to your dominant hand - meaning lefties are artistic and righies are logical. It's been thoroughly debunked but people still say it to me fairly often.

I've always wondered what that means. Did they start an LLC and do nothing with it? Fall for a pyramid scheme? Write phishing emails?

Usually when someone owns a business, it's a point of pride and part of their sense of self. "I run a restaurant" or "I'm a patternmaker" or something. As an accountant myself, I find I use this gif way too much:

I mean, she had a master's in psychology before she started YouTube.

Bookkeeping is easy to do from home, and since you've had some experience running a business you'll have a leg up. If you ever wanted to get an accounting degree (which is also possible with reputable fully online schools) you can easily get to $100k (US) in just a few years.

Last I checked, most of my content on r/all was r/aita and clone subs, r/weddingdress, and r/doordash, over and over and over. A lot of the subs that used to be on all never recovered from the blackout. My personal feed pretty much died because subs that would get 20+ posts a day went down to 1-2 a week.

Reminds me of back when I was in college and worked at a circuit board factory at night. Masks were not allowed and everyone made fun of me for wearing gloves. When those gloves wore out and got holes, my manager said they were "too expensive" to replace - even though management provided a bunch of PPE we were not "allowed" to use (earplugs, goggles, gloves, replacement hand tools, etc) because it would drive up the department's budget.

I'm glad I only had to do it for four years. It's been a decade since I quit and I STILL feel fiberglass in my hands sometimes. When I worked there my insurance basically only covered ER visits so I never used it. Now that I'm white collar I can afford to get checkups for the long term effects of that job - but most doctors seem completely untrained in caring for the consequences of manual labor.

I swear, it's actually really difficult to make ai women that AREN'T yassified. Is all the training data for what "real" women look like from Instagram?

Is there a way to have the gif automatically play?

Depends on how you're browsing lemmy - I'm on liftoff and they auto play. Maybe check your app's settings?

Also, is there a way to add a gif from a keyboard app like GIPHY?

Afaik Lemmy's markdown is text only, so you'll have to get the url from your app. I can't get it for my phone, but there might be a long tap then "view in browser" or "get url" option like I have on their website.

I kinda miss flip phones? These days phones are too big for my hands and pockets. I find myself buying cheaper phones just so it's a little smaller.

FYI, the format for an imbedded gif is ! [] (https://i.imgur.io/Thsxdtu.gif) without the spaces

Just wanted to let you know those transphobic guys got banned 😊

I had an email go to spam in the middle of a discussion with my insurance company. Even though I had already had 5 exchanges with them.

Edit: you guys, stop feeding the troll!

@ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone fyi, the defederation list may need to be updated due to the upcoming instance migrations.

This playlist better include "microwave popcorn" by Bo Burnham 🍿

Don't forget about imodium - you can take up to 4 a day (if needed) long term. And finding good substitutes is better than outright depriving yourself of the things you enjoy.

It's time to see a doctor.

In all seriousness, that's too much. If you are going directly after eating you've got some gi issues going on. Going that frequently can also mess up your gut flora and exacerbate whatever else you've got going on. Are you able to see a gastroenterologist?

Probably both - kids swallow a LOT of coins.

1. Honestly, the most surprising thing is that most people hate it. I'm an accountant because I love numbers and organization, but didn't want to go into engineering. Every company I've worked for has an accounting department of very sad people. They talk about how they wasted their lives going into this career, "but at least it's a stable paycheck, y'know?".
2. The pay! I had a few different careers I was considering, but went with accounting because at the time it was one of the only careers with legitimate online degrees. I've been in the field 4 years now and make $100k. That puts me at the top 5% of household incomes where I live.
3. The lack of actual work. I'm here for opening the books at the beginning of the month, closing at the end, and not much else. 75% of my days are a whole lotta nothing. At my current job we bring in video games on Fridays and play at the office.
