Corigan, in What is a nifty little feature modern gadgets have lost?

Being able to use my phone as a remote control for TV’s that was so awesome. Could mess with TV’s at bars and never had to look for the remote lol

DLSantini, in Mayo, mustard or ketchup?

What I’m eating will determine which two of those I am combining together. Potentially all three, in some cases. But there are also times when all the of those are better left out, in favor of barbecue sauce.

There isn’t a legal right of fair use for fan fiction, if that’s what you’re asking. Rights holders often ignore it, though.

ComradeR, in What's a food you love, that isn't worth making from scratch?

Churros! The recipe, by itself, is kinda easy. But, to do a really good one, it needs to be done in a perfect way. A very, very tiny error, while not ruining the recipe, will made a “maybe tasty, but not that good” one! I would rather to buy in a street food place and eat if I want to. I live in Brazil, so it is kinda easy to find one!

Kolanaki, in What has been the best thing that has happened to you so far?

Getting my dogs.

Kit, in How to respond to gf saying "I'm fat"

After having some nice intimate time, during the quiet afterglow, ask her how her self esteem has been lately. Maybe she’s feeling down and wants to talk about it.

Once her feelings are in the open it will be easier to feel out a solution.

JakenVeina, in Ancient wisdom often sounds like common sense now that it is commomly taught. What is some ancient wisdom that we no longer teach because it was wrong?

Almost anything disease-related, E.G. humors.

Djtecha, in What if reddit joins race of services joing fediverse?

Wouldn’t this be a complete win for the concept of open technology? Like didn’t half of lemme end up here because of the reddit api bullshit?

PM_ME_VINTAGE_30S, in Current and Former (Fast) Food Service Workers - How do you handle requests like “All the fries you can give me”?
@PM_ME_VINTAGE_30S@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Where I worked, servings of fries were proportioned in advance, so I would only get to pick which bag of fries to cook. Even with no request, I already went for the largest bag when I had the time to do so, in order to ward off complaints on my orders and get better tips.

Generally speaking, we had no obligation to fulfill requests, although sometimes we would if they were simple enough or we had downtime.

cm0002, in Current and Former (Fast) Food Service Workers - How do you handle requests like “All the fries you can give me”?

Depends on how things were inventoried, expensive things like meat were down to like the individual patties.

But fries were eyeballed bag/half bag type thing, so if you were nice about it or cute I would take one of our smallest to-go bags and LOAD it with fries lmfao

TheDoctorDonna, in Lemmings without bidet: how do you deal with your period?

I don’t have to worry about it now, but when I had my period (and I strictly used pads) I would use a peri-bottle full of warm water. My period having teen uses refresher wipes.

RBWells, in How to respond to gf saying "I'm fat"

I am hung up about weight like this. Spent so long on the far side of skinny that smack in the middle of healthy makes me feel I look fat. I do say I am fat, I know objectively that is not true but I miss being too skinny. Just venting really.

I think just say that she is built great now, and you like it, but it’s her body. She probably isn’t worried that YOU think she’s fat. She is bothered because SHE thinks she’s fat.

Okay, I’m a bit concerned at this whole thing.

When I’m on then I shower once a day. I use femfresh to wash and then towel dry.

Why would I need anything else in between? Most disposable products need changing every 4hrs but that doesn’t mean throughly cleaning between uses. Reusables vary but again nothing needs deep cleaning under than 12hrs.

I feel like I’m misunderstanding the question?

Identity3000, (edited ) in How much does the original book have to change to be considered fanfiction?

If you are taking an existing publication and just tweaking details (e.g.: character names, locations, dialogue), that’s not fanfic at all; at best that’s an adaptation. If you’re creating a parody (and provide proper citations/attributions to the originating work) it may be fair use. More likely, it’s still considered plagiarism if you can still recognisably see the concepts, structure and inspiration but do not have the author’s permission.

There is no exact percentage for plagiarism, and that is by design in most countries’ legal systems. It is about concepts and ideas, and whether a “reasonable person” could make the connection.

Proper fanfic is where you take existing characters and locations, but put them into an entirely new story / scene / context that never happened in the original work, so is considered “original” in that sense.

AbsurdityAccelerator, in How much does the original book have to change to be considered fanfiction?

Anything not by the original author or at least with the blessing of the original author should be considered fan fiction.
