  • Lol yeah I know what you mean that bothered me a while ago too, I just wanted to check in

  • Cheers, will mention it to them!

  • I've just made myself a hexbear account because of the mentions on here, looks interesting

  • 🤌 perfection

  • I know what some of those words mean

  • There's good reason to love Lemmy, and since joining I've also gone very Foss and privacy centric but I just feel like it's a bit quiet, maybe it's just me

  • For me it seems to have wained a bit, I feel like a lot of casual users have gone silent recently, the content I'm seeing is more specific to niche topics and communities

  • I'm not in america, in our country when we buy a meal the tax is included, as is the cost of paying staff a living wage and tips are really only given (volunteerily, without prompt) in certain scenarios where service might genuinely be extraordinary.

    It's always been fascinating to me that it could be done any other way and to be honest it sounds incredibly complicated and quite shitty the way america does it, it seems to me like it's an old fashioned relic from the swashbuckling 1800's, pay your maiden well and she'll make sure your mead is always topped up.. But in 2023 it seems absurd, prepared food and drink is just a product like anything else, do you tip at Walmart when you buy a TV?

  • I've learned a lot here on Lemmy

  • The fact that banks charge for pay wave is absolutely absurd to me especially in the age of covid, I had to switch banks when we got a home loan and their eftpos cards don't have pay wave so I was quite happy with that

  • They're all good in their own ways, but I'm starting to wonder if lemmy is actually still alive, I see a lot of bot transfered posts from reddit which is cool but of course there's no real interaction with them

  • I've never made it myself but home made kombucha is beautiful! Not as sweet as the store bought stuff, bit of a process though

  • Happy birthday mate, for what it's worth some people would love to have their birthday to themselves.. But feeling lonely is aweful I hope you can find something to cheer you up

  • I wouldn't say its inferior, different? Sure but not inferior

  • I used to cut grass for the city, I feel this comment 100% and don't get me wrong I think dogs are beautiful animals but holy shit their owners can be the worst, if you don't want to pick it up what makes you think I want it all over my face and clothes? And yes, leaving your dog's fecies in a bag just makes matters worse dumb arse, take it with you!
