It's this thing: ‽

More people should use the symbol because it looks cool and has a badass name, so for that you need to know what it's called.

Who's with me‽

This makes me laugh because I work for a UK company that was bought out by an American company, who's trying to treat the UK staff how they would treat US staff - and it's not going well.

Our American colleagues cannot fathom how much time we take off for holidays, especially around Christmas. They also got a shock when doing some recent "restructuring" they couldn't just fire a bunch of UK folks.

But confusingly, Trump has continued to send Vance out to campaign events all week, while the Republican presidential nominee has remained largely out of the public eye. Given Vance’s low appeal, it’s unclear how this strategy helps the campaign.

Trump is going to blame Vance for the failure of his campaign, calling it now. He'll have the usual shit about dems as well, but he's going to scapegoat vance and throw him under the bus just like he's done with literally everyone else before him.

It's incredibly difficult to read the captions on this meme, there's not enough contrast with the white text on the light backgrounds.

If I'm buying a sword, even if that sword is going to spend 99% of its time on a wall or in a display case, I still want to know that it feels good to hold, otherwise what's the fucking point of owning a sword.

If I see a sick in the street, I'm going to do the exact same thing, I ain't no expert, I just like to experience a little joy in my life where I can.

Oh I completely misunderstood this one. I thought the joke was that the age difference was borderline problematic so the guy was trying to eek out a few extra hours to make it less bad.

Nope, turns out it's just astrology bullshit.

The whole McDonald's coffee debacle is constantly misreported, but I think it's becoming more known that McDonald's are in fact the bad guys in that one.

I switched to using wireless headphones a good decade ago and I've never had a set die die to the battery going.

I've had plenty of wired headphones die bectthr cable became frayed or loose though.

I am still surprised at the lack of a headphone jack in the Fairphone, but I don't agree that wireless devices are somehow more prone to becoming e-waste.

I'll never understand why people put Steve Jobs on a pedestal. He might have been a very astute businessman , but by all accounts he was a horrible human being and a colossal prick.

I know this will get hate, but I still enjoy LTT.

Lemmy's userbase is currently skewed very left wing, many people on the left are vegan or vegetarian or at least care about climate change enough to see reduction in meat consumption as a necessity to fixing it.

So it shouldn't be too much of a surprise that you see more anti-meat discourse.

Disclaimer: I eat meat

It's nice, but keep in mind that it's largely unsustainable without some form of revenue. Reddit didn't turn evil just because of a bunch of shareholders, it went that way because the money was drying up and they weren't making any money. They're still not making money.

As lemmy grows and server costs increase, especially for the larger instances, more will be asked of the community to help foot the bill. This current server has a good breakdown in costs for those curious and while it doesn't seem like a lot today, it'll start to jump quite considerably as you hit certain thresholds on database sizes and whatnot. If you like this server, please by the admin a coffee to say thank you :)
