Just one more day and it would have been gone forever.

One benefit of colocating the food bank with the grocery store is that shoppers could make direct contributions to the food bank. Instead of those questionable ‘donate $1 to such and such’ prompts at payment, one could purchase an extra can of food and discreetly drop it off after checkout. Seeing the beneficiaries in person is confidence the grocery store isn’t just making a money grab.

Since most of us have to buy groceries, it would also provide shoppers a convenient opportunity to practice compassion. Sometimes a bad day can be turned around by doing something good.

This is not a real term, but maybe Freudian Hint?

The math here is good point to be aware of and as stated doesn’t preclude that the guy is an asshole for wanting to put even a small percentage of people out of work just so he can raise his assholery to tyrannical proportions. Increasing human suffering to teach people who want to have a better life a lesson. What a cartoon villain.

Greedy bastards. All they care about is the dough.

The hope that Lemmy will grow to be and even exceed what Reddit was at its height is what keeps me coming here. I also have a hard time ignoring the mountain of historical Reddit posts for search results. There’s so much knowledge and discussion.

One cool thing is that the comments are self documenting. I read the program earlier and it’s quite clear what it does. Excellent accomplishment, dear colleague!

I hate to admit this, but I agree. My qualm isn’t with the message that we ought to work less. That’s smart. Why shouldn’t we live in a society where we can have a fulfilling lifestyle without endless soul crushing work?

My qualm is with the wording. The implication is that one should consent to work, but really work is a fundamental truth. Take away the facade of society and all we have is our struggle to survive the elements and find food, i.e. work.

The usage described by small44 is an excellent way to use social media. Real life hobbies and interests bring personal fulfillment, and using social media as a tool for exploring those interests is smart, not dumb.

Haha, yeah, looks like they found Don Corneo’s new lair.

I don’t know if I’d want to live there, but I kind of like the aesthetic.

I’ve avoided Microsoft for years, but recently I’ve been reducing my Google use. I’m still on Gmail, and Street View is special, but I’ve been slowly replacing Google utilization:

• Search: Duck Duck Go
• Maps: Open Street Map, OsmAnd
• Drive: Extra Hard Drives
• Chrome: Firefox
• Home: Home Assistant (WIP)

Upcoming projects include replacing my phone’s Google-built Android image and transitioning to ProtonMail.

It’s not one big project, it’s lots of projects. It’s worthwhile, though. Along the way, I’ve reconnected with my love of good tech and I’ve gained new hobbies like privacy and contributing to OSM.

I’ve been listening to the soundtrack recently. It’s so relaxing. I think my favorite track is Macalania Woods.

OP, here’s another one! This one’s also pointing out incorrect facts about Arkansas!

There are some informative answers elsewhere, however, I noticed a gap between the comments and my expectations, bidet-wise: here’s a link to the relevant SNL Bidet sketch: https://piped.video/watch?v=zQx-ZbSQSBM&t=0. Enjoy

There are some good ideas in this comment, but I’d like to counter that the cautionary tales are an instigating factor in implementing safety for new tech. The wealthy few shouldn’t get to blindly and unilaterally decide the future of all through careless and unrestricted development of world-altering tech.

I can see this being an unpopular opinion. I regularly hear people complain about Arby’s. Also, at least once a year I’ll hear some rumor about maggots or the plastic wrapped, pre sliced roast beef resembling alien heads in formaldehyde.

TBH, I try not to think of that. They make a good brisket sandwich. Curly fries, too. Those are great. And, like OP says, even their chicken is good.

If we keep doubling, will I eventually be a person on the tracks? There are a finite number of people, so eventually I would be, right? So, passing the buck would be equivalent to handing my fate to a stranger.

OTOH, if there are an infinite number of people, then this thought experiment is creating people out of thin air. Do these imaginary people’s rhetorical lives even matter?

Either way, it seems better to kill 1 person at the start.

And his boots are yellow!

There is lemmynade enough for all
