ada, in what are your fun, low stakes new year resolutions?
@ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Improve my Spanish. It’s low stakes because I was going to be doing it anyway, but this makes it a formal goal :)

pastermil, in After a lifetime against, I'm considering joining social media. Any advice?

Quite late for that. The fun time is in the past.

LinkedIn isn’t a terrible idea if you just want to come up in search results. It’s quite useful for a lot of different professions for networking. You’d likely just make a profile and never look at it again.

Facebook can be almost mandatory depending on where you live. I currently live in a city where Facebook is the only meaningful source of networking, local news and information on events online. It’s not uncommon for businesses, even quite larger ones, to have their only media presence online be a Facebook page. The city is also kind of infamously hard to break into socially so you want any advantage you can get.

I don’t currently have any social media but it’s become a hindrance and I might need to reactivate. I end up using social media by proxy through family and friends anyway.

BoastfulDaedra, in Mayo, mustard or ketchup?

Desert island? Mayo. I mean it’s damned near a complete food.

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

Giving me annoying audible notifications that my battery is low. We moved to batteries that degrade when lower than ~40% and got rid of the notifications that let us know your battery is dead…

FMT99, in Mayo, mustard or ketchup?

Ketchup is sugar with tomato. Something you feed little children. Mustard had its place but Mayo for most uses of course.

BoastfulDaedra,

Ketchup at minimum is tomato and vinegar.

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.

Toes, in what, in your opinion, drives the start time of factory and manufacturing jobs to 5am?

Where I used to live the bus that took people to the industrial section of town only went there 3 times throughout the day.

It was particularly frustrating for me cause it was the only bus to take you remotely close to the courier’s office to pickup a package. But its schedule appeared to be timed with the changes in shifts at the factory.

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

It’s a trap. There is no good answer. You need to turn around and walk until you pass out. It’s over.

AgentGrimstone, in Mayo, mustard or ketchup?

Mayo + mustard

Here in the US there is always going to be messaging telling women they need to be underweight. Having had a friend who died while anoexic and underweight (I can’t be sure of the causal relationship but I’m sure malnutrition was a factor) the danger of body dysmorphia is, to me, very real.

I’d say someone’s negotiation with their own body is up to themselves and their doctor, but even primary care providers in the US are freaky about weight. Are you a fat lycanthrope with cancer? Statistically your doctor is most likely to fixate on your extra girth.

otherbarry, (edited ) in Mayo, mustard or ketchup?

Rarely/never ketchup. I only eat that stuff if a friend or someone already put it on a plate/dish being served to me without asking first.

Mayo & mustard are both awesome depending on what they’re being put on. And sometimes they team up & can be used together e.g. they work well together in tuna.

PS - You should throw butter in the competition, a lot of people would vote for that over mayo :)

Headphone Jack.

Presi300, in What has been the best thing that has happened to you so far?
@Presi300@lemmy.world avatar

Moving out of the province… Yeah, I fcking hate living in the big city but the people I’ve met and the friends I’ve made more than make up for it.
