Are you serious?

Work is fun in Germany, and one of the few occasions where fun is culturally permitted.

Efficiency and Precision are the children of Fun and Joy after all.

You seem to be unfamiliar with law enforcement

I get the initiative to help red states, but democracy also works where if your an asshole shithead who makes sure their state is run by asshole shitheads, then you live in an asshole shithead state.

If blue state voters want their tax dollars educating red states, yay democracy!

If blue states want to spend that money on themselves and watch as Red states become horrible places to live, yay democracy!

The only downside is that federal budgets will continue to help red states. We need someone at the top willing to play the Republicans game and deny red states everything until they come crawling back, or use all those private business tax free profits to replace the shortfall.

I quite like chicory in my coffee, but I find it also upsets my stomach a bit

Otherwise, I enjoy it in my instant coffee!

I also pretty much only drink instant coffee so don’t take my opinion too seriously 😅

Pretty sure the user giving you grief is AI, you didn’t say anything wrong.

War is never 100% clean from any side.

Less chat bots on Lemmy, and they seem to be easily identifiable and ignored/reported.

Lemmy isn’t quite at that sweet spot where there are enough daily users to get niche content and information from a group of knowledgeable people - but some communities seem to be quite active and helpful already.

I’d love to get to the point where we have a big science/history community and get some non-celebrity AMA’s that have genuine interaction.

I’m more than happy for Lemmy to stay “underground” for a good while, slowly building communities. Once things hit a critical mass and wind up on corporate radar, lemmy will get swarmed and another migration will happen with the same core groups that joined lemmy early.

Honestly, that’s a pretty great looking setup, wonder how it fares in the rain.

Add a couple windows (optional) with a few cottage core flannel throw pillows and you’ve got a million dollar cottage in Ontario.

To be fair, police don’t really make it a habit of enforcing any laws, and if they do accomplish something by mistake they love catch and release

I feel like his advice is really only applicable if the tasks are received pre-gamified, otherwise it’s just the same task with double the work:

Here’s a list of tasks

but it’s boring and tedious

use the content of the list to create a game with structure that ties individually completed tasks to generate automatic, immediate, output/result/gratification

Begin accomplishing gamified list tasks <---- (should be starting here)

Finish quickly due to gamification.

That whole approach ain’t gonna work on someone with ADHD. If it isn’t received pre-gamified, I’m not gonna do a bunch of extra work before I can start the actual work.

“The hack to being unable to start a task, is to start an additional, more complicated task” - No

“The best way to get an ADHD brain to quickly accomplish simple task lists is by having accomplishments provide immediate results/rewards” - Yes

Isn’t this how Walmart failed in Germany?

Basically the “roadmap to success” used in other countries failed in Germany/Europe mostly because that “success” was only achievable through “human rights abuses” and “violating labor laws” that aren’t troublesome in parts of the world where labour rights are neutered at every opportunity, and large portions of the population people are too impoverished to afford necessities elsewhere

I’ve wondered about this, killing the “company” never really seemed like that big of a deal, as the structure (both physical building/tool/systems and operationally) don’t simply vanish. You still have the knowledge and skillsets in the population, and the supply chains still exist.

The real problem with these “too big to fail” entities is that the people pulling the levers that cause failures never have any consequences whatsoever.

Yeah, you’ll always need banks, energy, transportation, defence etc - operational mechanisms for exchanging goods, building, buying etc will never go away or ‘fail’ - but their operational practices absolutely could and should change

I’m so sick of the wealth class abusing absolutely everything to guarantee themselves more money than they could ever spend.

My tinfoil hat theory is that Drones are far better at mass surveillance than current emergency alert systems, so while the advantage over the existing emergency alert system is probably negligible - it opens the door for people accepting having drones everywhere and constantly overhead which is the real goal.

For a second layer of tinfoil, having a strong drone presence (production, infrastructure, technology) in the economy seems like it will be very useful for future wars. Whoever has the largest and smartest swarm wins

Cocain isn’t calming at all! It tastes horrible, makes my throat go numb and dry which makes me gag, while everyone else seems to be somehow enjoying themselves and wanting more.

I’ll be over here smoking my 16th joint of the afternoon while daydreaming of every anime fight scene I’ve ever seen all at the same, while taking out only half the trash before I start mowing either only the front or back yard while 2 songs simultaneously play in my mind thank you very much

Honestly, I’ve almost noticed the opposite for about 2 months now - but I only use mobile browser with no account so it may not be a fully accurate experience.

The main reason for this opinion is that I’m Canadian, and until recently the super right wing echo chamber bot farm Canada_Sub, no longer appears on my popular/hot in Canada feed and has been replaced by the far more left wing Onguardforthee.

The ‘Sub’ group went private, then back to public but it’s no longer being pushed on my feed.

In general, I’m definitely seeing less right wing talking points for Canadian content, not sure if that’s due to the overall algorithm, or if admins have been cracking down on bots and the right wing Canadian subreddits don’t have enough traction without them to crack relevance.

Maybe reddit is taking it’s content more seriously with all the AI content scraping they’re about now. Their content won’t mean squat if it’s polluted by bot content like other social media.

Pierre poilievre is weird

Seems pretty weird to me.

Sounds weirdly like projection, or maybe the bigot is just jealous about a father’s “access to at least 4 kids around the clock” - which is a super weird take, and likely a confession.

This… Brings Joy!

I heard the secret sauce is kerosene but no idea why, so I just looked it up!

Didn’t find anything conclusive about the specific comparison between the two, aside from Kerosene being less volatile than gasoline

Maybe it’s because it’s safer to make/transport, or gels differently, or maybe they’re wrong and gas is just better.

I figured there might be something along the lines of being limited to purchases and anything used to service debt would become cash in the eyes of CC company, which does have significantly worse terms

Thank you for the insight!

Yeah, it’s pretty much the idea of kiting but without intention for scamming/lying - just hoping to take advantage of the difference in how interest is applied to debt without breaking the law.

Considering there is still risk involved (bank/CC get paid either way, and miss timing the transaction results in interest payments to them) its more of a risk tolerance approach than scam/fraud, but I don’t doubt the Bank’s diligence in protecting their assets.

Hopefully they can do a debt consolidation, and get a better rate, but with interest rates where they are I am not sure it would be much better than line of credit
