Skin seems a little undervalued.

Unfortunately, the promotion to raccoon manager does not come with a salary bump.

I mean, if you give people a long weekend they’re gonna celebrate.

I don’t know any white people who sat around in solemn reflection last weekend, but I know plenty who had an extra day of partying.

Ok, but give us some credit.

It was only last weekend we had a national holiday to celebrate how we treated the natives.

there was a time when they were slow, but that’s mostly been resolved.

but it’s really just a cult thing now. people hate snaps because they think they’re supposed to hate snaps.

Speaking as one of “them”, yes. Yes you are.

I’m pretty sure I recognize this spot - just west of cache creek on hwy 99 - and if it is where I think it is that whole hillside burned last summer.

yeah, it’s not spotify’s fault that splitting $10/month between all the music you listen to doesn’t pay the artists very much.

people stopped liking discord when they got to use slack or teams and see what a professional chat product looks like.

not that people really love slack or teams either, but they are miles ahead of discord in terms of speed and general usability.

This is the opposite of transparent. When I order food, I’m agreeing the pay the listed price for the item I ordered. Adding 18% on top of that when it comes time to pay is hiding that fee.

If they want to charge more, they should raise their prices

I bet they get really mad if you call them business weebs

It’s any of them

I can’t stand them on pizza either, and I always thought that meant I didn’t like olives

Turns out I just don’t like the cheap black olives they put on pizza. Good olives are good, but lots of olives aren’t and bad olives just make the whole dish they’re in taste like bad olives.

this always reassures me a little bit. all the tracking and targeting and whatever that we’re supposed to be afraid of on the internet, and they still haven’t figured out a better form of targeting than this.

the correct response to somebody trying to order sweet tea in the north is and always has been this quote from 30 rock:

“I’m gonna come back in 5 minutes, if you try to order off menu again I will slap those glasses off your face.”

how exactly does chrome not respect my privacy?

and i don’t just mean “because it’s google and google is an ad company”. what specifically is it sending to some internet server that firefox doesn’t? both the firefox and address bars send what you type into them to a search provider. as near as i can tell, firefox’s committment to privacy is to say “we protect your privacy” while doing all the same stuff that chrome does.

They’re actually pretty popular with hikers. They’re lightweight and comfortable, and also non-absorbent.

Not for the actual hiking part, but they’re great to throw in your backpack and wear around camp at the end of the day, and if they get wet they aren’t going to get heavy so you can wear them instead of your boots if you have to wade across a creek.

you can’t just say something is “objectively bad”. if it’s objectively bad, that means it’s provably bad. so where’s the proof?

as far as i’m aware there’s no science that says LEDs at the brightness typically found on consumer electronics have any negative health benefits. regulations should be based on more than just the opinions of some random guy on lemmy.

In most regions, you’re right: you can put a noncompete in a contract, but enforcing it is another matter.

But noncompete clauses are explicitly illegal in California, where Twitter is based.

This announcement is supsiciously light on NFTs.

Will there be any new collectible avatars to help commemorate this occasion?
