i’m surprised stories like these haven’t been all over the news with constant tech layoffs

i literally gave up on the last boss after 100%ing the rest of the game. just a brutal experience and there’s no carrot left to make me grind it out for a couple hours.

i appreciate the old ones! it’s interesting to see why someone would revive an old post, and there are some (usually active community drama) that can keep going for days and wouldn’t show up anywhere else.

it occurs to me this most closely mimics old web forum sorts.

i like the new comment sort since it’s like a hybrid of new and active. yes, 0 comment posts will show up there.

i cycle between this and new comments, good mix of heavy hitters and diverse diaspora

absolutely perfect response

thanks, i’m going to reply with a screenshot of this thread anytime anyone asks me what’s going on over on lemmy

my man!

this is so insane on its face that the first place my mind goes is, were they about to unionize?

because big money owns news networks, and communities print newsletters. kinda different scopes.

lol they are the lab rats for unholy ultracapitalist social experimentation in the quest for endless growth. we hit diminishing returns expanding outwards a hundred years ago so now we’re colonizing human eyeballs and attention spans and it’s not looking great for the colonists.

why is an oasis seen as the quenchiest shit in the desert when it’s just averagely refreshing elsewhere?

lmao shoutout to riot not putting a mention of legends of runeterra into the league client until after its pvp mode was abandoned

wfh 99.9% since 2020. my slice of software dev has really embraced it as part of the culture - most job opps are still remote, enough to filter out any in person or hybrid. love it, could never go back to commuting and socializing in person. i struggle sometimes with productivity/adhd but that happened in the office too. so many days just spent fiddling on my phone with one ear listening for footsteps. i keep getting hired/promoted so despite my shortfalls i must be doing something right.

Tankies as a whole, no.

the litmus test for tankies is whether they blindly support modern era china, russia, and nk, all authright (wannabe) empires. what do you think a tankie is?

1. karma is meaningless to seo outside of account restrictions. the people doing this as a job aren’t doing it for imaginary internet points

2. it doesn’t matter what individual instances do as long as the largest ones have open signups

Many estimate that at that time, translated into modern money, frankincense would have cost $500 per pound. Myrrh would have cost $4,000 per pound.

gold cost ~$4500 per pound on the date this article was published. the actual quantities offered as gifts are not included in the gospel.

great example of a less disruptive use of attention seeking behavior because it still parses phonetically and doesn’t require any historical knowledge.
