Saying stupid shit generates engagement and pushes your post to the top of social media. Stop falling for bait.

People try to meta game on politics. They want their side to win so they think they should support policies that will win over other voters rather than what they support. People think that Jewish people will support Biden if they blindly support Israel because Israel = Jews or something. It's really braindead thinking.

I keep random accounts throughout the fediverse so downtime is not an issue for me. I'm grateful for this alternative that you've created and I understand that this project is still in it's infancy. Thank you for creating it, but please take time for yourself. This site is truly a gift.

I find the """man up""" school of thought generally works for me when faced w a tough situation but 97% of the time it's presented as an obnoxious show of bravado. What are better ways to phrase this? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

Legally, you're allowed to make copies of games that you own and use them in an emulator. You can download mods, play multiplayer across the Internet when servers get shut down and also take advantage of better hardware and get better resolution and framerates, then there are quality of life improvements like savestates.

People are just not price sensitive to most things. It's also seen as bad to be thrifty, most people think of you as being cheap or stingy. Everything is about appearances now, people are more worried about what other people think than their own interests.

Companies have also figured out that they can make more profit by raising prices and shipping less product. They have to pay less in overhead and wages and get the same amount of money.

Looking for better ways to search for jobs. (kbin.social)
 

I'm in a situation where I'm looking for jobs local to me with decent pay and benefits. I did searches on all the major job sites with my criteria, sorted how I want, striped out the session ids and saved the links in an auto hotkey script so I can quickly check each site every day.

I still have issues with irrelevant results, such as jobs on towns I have no desire to commute to, companies I would never work for, and jobs with requirements I don't have, such as nursing.

I'm not really a programmer, but I can tinker around with things to an extent. It would be nice to be able to scrape these sites in order to reduce the irrelevant postings, I just don't know how to go about it.

My state allows towns to decide if they'll allow golf carts to drive on roads. It's great for small towns with lots of older people.

Does anybody else push on their sides when they're pooping? (kbin.social)

When I poop, I'll take my hand and make a "knife hand" and massage the area above my hip and grab the side of my stomach while bending over to help the poop get out instead of straining. It's this weird?

The about page on the "international crime free association" website is a conspiracy theorist fever dream. (www.crime-free-association.org)

If you look at your cities or local police department website you might find something that mentions "crime free housing." If you rent your home you may have had to sign something about not committing any crimes. That means that your city has adopted a "crime free housing" ordinance which forces landlords to evict entire households if they or their guests commit crimes on or off the property.

This policy sounds good at first. However, it makes very little sense. It only punishes innocent people. If someone is guilty of a crime then they will go to prison. Under these policies it only requires that someone you know is accused of a crime and you and your family can be thrown out on the street.

The Executive Director of the "international crime free association" Timothy L. Zehring, touts that over 3000 departments have joined. Membership is a mere $50 for one person per year or $200 for 5. Businesses can pay $500 to appear on "crime free" pamphlets and literature which police officers will recommend to landlords who are forced to take "crime free" training under threat of city ordinances.

The whole scheme is clearly a side hustle for retired cops with little thought given to how that policies affect people and towns in the long run. It's clear that they don't take criticism well based on their about page which is filled with pages of bizarre rants about "mainstream media" and connections to current president Joe Biden.

Where can I find documentation on how federation works? (kbin.social)
 

I can't find anything on the specifics of how federation actually works. The op thread gets copied to any federated server? What happens if the thread is deleted on the op server? Does it still exist on all other federated servers? How do comments and votes work? That kind of thing.
