I didn't graduate from high school, I got into food service. Literally no one has ever asked me for a diploma. It doesn't pay the best at first (though it is considerably better than when I started 15 years ago), but I got a comfortable-for-me salary when I eventually got into management.

Its not for everyone, if you can deal with fast paced work, weird hours, and weirder personalities its a lot of fun.

Its a private instance. You can subscribe and comment on it from any Mastodon or Calckey instance though.

That would require such a massive change in the way the platform works, and it would be way more difficult to moderate.

A multireddit equivilent would probably make more sense.

Not that this is the idea here, but I would love to see a foldable eink reader.

A folding tablet doesn't really make sense, unless it has like a 14"+ inner display, that would be sick.

lol wait this is a millenial thing?

His sin, in the eyes of facilitators at the KOJO Institute, was his questioning of their claim that Canada was a more racist place than the United States.

I would like to see a less biased story about this. It's sad what happened to this man, and I'm not even saying he did anything wrong, but I don't buy that the above quote is all that happened.

This shit makes Elon look even more like a Bond villain than he already is.

I doubt it. They don't compete and X has preceded Elon's rebrand by decades.

Literally what I told myself when I was 16 lmao.

Buddy, you are not immune to nicotine addiction. You do not need to smoke a pack a day to be addicted, I currently smoke half a pack a day and am most definitely addicted. Test yourself, go a day without and see if you don't get irritable and have cravings.

There are no benefits to smoking. Any benefits you percieve are the cigarettes relieving withdrawl symptoms.

You sound like a teenager. As an almost 20 year smoker, if you're "not addicted" then quit now.

Health benefits aside, it's a massive pain in the ass and a money pit. Everyone (rightfully) talks about getting lung cancer, but no one talks about how fucking annoying it is to have to stop what you're doing every 2 hours to feed your cravings.

Or I'm not so risk-adverse that that I'm willing to give up my privacy for a miniscule possibility that something could happen where that would help me.

Do you wear a helmet every time you go outside?

It's sparkling water, but for manly man with TESTOSTERONE who are definitely not insecure.

Unsurprisingly, they also make NFTs

FitGirl repacks are generally considered safe. Make sure you have the right site, and use a VPN if you're in a country that cares about piracy.

There's a bunch of other good resources in the megathread

I've been really liking Aleppo Soap. 3 ingredients: olive oil, laurel oil, and lye. I find it moisturizes just enough, and doesn't have that weird smell that Dove has.

All those text message logs of inappropriate conversations with underage girls

We're full steam ahead to a cyberpunk dystopia, and I'm here for it

I can understand turning it on if you're doing something like going backcountry hiking by yourself, and turning it off when you're back.

But leaving it on all the time so people I know can open an app and see where I am at any given moment? That's creepy as fuck. There are people in my life who I trust, and care about me, but that's still creepy as fuck.

Also, I'm now picturing a general in a war room in Mali saying "This Lemmy site is becoming too powerful. Shut it down. They should've known better than to mess with Mali! Muahahahah!"

iPhone users' brains work different

Why would you willingly let someone else track you?
