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.

  • “No experience with said metaphor”, we tried to help you

    If you can’t figure out what we’re talking about with a thread full of context then I don’t know what to tell you. Either way, you can take a lesson learned here or not, I don’t particularly care anymore.

  • People were trying to gently educate you on a metaphor and you decided anything pre-internet is a requirement. Then you keep talking about your lived experience when you got it wrong. Then you attack people when they said they’re not going to do work for you and if you want info you can look it up yourself. You got some real boomer energy my guy/gal.

  • Honestly, people have given you examples. If you want examples from pre-internet then you should do some work yourself to find it.

    • California bombing suspect once burned family house down, was ‘easily influenced,’ dad says

  • You know who also made rockets when they were younger? Homer Hickam who worked at NASA and was the person depicted in October Sky. I agree with the other commenter, if you haven’t talked to your kid in 10 years (during highly formative years too) you probably shouldn’t do an interview where you talk about who he is now.

    • How does Netflix, HBO and other services get their subtitles? Are they now using AI to help translate?

    Jump

  • I guess it depends on the subtitle type? I know some are just the spoken audio and some are descriptions of side conversations/surrounding noises as well. That said I’m one of those that reads faster than hearing but that’s due to bad hearing and my brain trying to figure out what it heard is slower than reading/hearing combined. Or even sometimes the subtitles are a bit fast so I’m still about even.

    • Steam deck OLED 1TB or Asus ROG Ally X with Bazzite?

    Jump

  • I wasn’t going to respond until I saw you mention car. I do think the Miata and the GR86 are solid built for drivers cars. They’re relatively inexpensive for a sports car too. That said, in regards to electronics I would say the deck is by far best. Trying to compare across categories is really tough though

    • Protests break out across US over plans to change Postal Service

    Jump

  • I believe what they’re saying is that if UPS or FedEx is now the postal service they’ll put junk mail for their services in your mailbox. What you consider junk mail is other businesses paying the post office to send mail (though you may not like it).

  • I'm just addressing the fact that Reddit isn't always correct and we should want more credible sources than random people submitting things online with no vetting. That's where they aren't entirely wrong. I'm not saying they're right and their memory is a reason to believe this is incorrect, but they're just some person online just like the Reddit user.

  • They're not entirely wrong though. Remember how Reddit "caught" the Boston marathon bomber?

    • Men of Lemmy, how old were you when you found out that bra cup sizes are not standardized in the slightest?

    Jump

  • I would assume they're not but that's because I notice that depending on who makes what shoe depends on what size I have. I also see this in pants and shorts for men as well. I just assume nothing is actually standardized due to QA never really catching things.

  • Satellite radio doesn't require your phone to have solid signal. Going out into the boonies? As long as you can see the sky you're chance of losing radio is almost none. I used to love having satellite radio until I started working from home. Now I have almost everything I want on a downloaded playlist to my phone.

  • I still use a bit after washing to ensure I got everything. My bidet does have a dry function but sometimes the wipe is for insurance. Definitely have more than enough TP for a while now though.
