DerisionConsulting, to mensliberation in I Interviewed Hot Guys About ‘Pretty Privilege’ For Men - "According to new research, being an attractive man improves your socioeconomic position more than being a good-looking woman."

I don’t think that attract men are rarer, societally it just seems like we’re being judged on different scales. Something I’ve noticed, although only anecdotally:

If you get a group of people attracted to women to describe what an attractive woman is, you’ll get a fairly similar answer.
This makes it easier to know where you stand, and also easier to become “more attractive” easier, because there is a fairly consistant goal to be achieved.

If you ask a group of people attracted to men to describe what an attractive man is, you’ll generally get a few different archetypes.
A guy with a beard will get an instant 0 from some people, but it’s a positive for others.
A guy with abs will get an instant 0 from some people, but it’s a positive for others.
A guy with little/no hair will get an instant 0 from some people, but it’s a positive for others.

DerisionConsulting, to mensliberation in CW: Self Harm - Rate of suicide in the U.S. peaks among older men, a hard demographic to reach

I’m not an app person, but it seems like none of the Lemmy aps are up to snuff.

Does the ap you use handle Subscript and strike-through correctly, or does it cross them both out?

Is this supposed to link to an article?

Edit: I am assuming it was supposed to link to www.usatoday.com/story/news/…/71815263007/

DerisionConsulting, to memes in The rage is real

Looks like the people are downvoting you are just being assholes.

I also touched EA or Origin since for almost 20 years, and the only racing games I like are things like Wipeout. So it looks like the games you enjoy aren’t titles that either of us play. I was hoping to see a game or two in your list that I either myself or my husband knew a workaround for, and could attest that it works.

I know that some people have had luck opening Origin games through Steam in order to use Proton, my husband has done that for some Assassin’s Creed games. Here is someone showing the steps for Need for Speed The Run:

I also completely understand just wanting to come home and play the games you want to play without any tinkering. Use whatever OS lets you do what you want to do on your system. There’s a reason I run Mint now instead of something more cutting edge.

DerisionConsulting, to linuxmemes in It's OK if you cry

I have installed Ubuntu, Pop!, or Mint as a fix for wifi issues on laptops probably about a dozen times over the past 20ish years.

I have never had a wifi issue with linux. My husband has had issues with Linux and wifi in 2007. But that was 2007.

DerisionConsulting, to asklemmy in What companies have made your blacklist?

What does being from the Netherlands have to do with shopping at Walmart?

DerisionConsulting, to risa in That's what I thought

most Vulcans are a bunch of lying emotional sluts

Vulcans = twinks in their early 20s?

DerisionConsulting, to mensliberation in Tradwife stereotypes are making male loneliness worse

I haven’t really heard anything about her since gamergate, and the anti-SJW/feminist days in the 2010’s. I have seen her pop up twice in a week, both times in places where anti-SJW beliefs would not be welcome.

Are her views/take fairly shallow and easily swayed, has she matured as a person and changed her politics, or is she just an online creator following where the trends are for views?

In Canada yellow means stop, unless it’s too late to stop then you need to get through the intersection during the grace period before it turns red.

Does it mean something else in the USA?

DerisionConsulting, (edited ) to linuxmemes in Linux mint = best beginner distro

Take that person’s post, comparing it to cooking.

Sometimes you use a Library pre-made sauce or spice blend as part of a recipe, so you don’t need to waste time remaking something that is commonly used.

Every so often, a company will tweak the recipe for the things you are using, but it still basically tastes the same. Sometimes they just decide that now it’s salty instead of sweet, so it would complete ruin the dish you would like to make.

The recipe you are using assumes you live in Australia where the new version of the sauce/spice blend is more common, but where you live still only sells the old version.

So now you can either wait for the store to sell the new sauce/spice blend, import it from Australia, or try to make it yourself. But you might have another recipe that still needs/uses the old sauce/spice blend. Needing to have both can lead to issues where you use the wrong one, ruining the food you are trying to make.

This is where snaps, flatpaks, and appimages those dish-in-a-box kits come into play. They’ll have the correct version of the spices/sauces you want, so it doesn’t really matter which version you have in your kitchen.

Snaps branded dish-in-a-box kits are developed by Canonical, and they can be kinda weird. You need to check for updates if you need to re-buy them manually, and you can only get them from the “Snaps Store”. Other dish-in-a-box kits allow you to get them from whichever store you want, and will automatically re-order when needed.

And that’s the main issue folks have taken with snaps. If you have 50+ programs are making a meal with 50+ dishes, and you need to constantly check if you need to rebuy them one by one, it gets old quickly.


Also, Snaps takes up a lot of room, and generally just kinda suck compared to installing things normally or through flatpack.

DerisionConsulting, to lemmy411 in Is there a community to ask for help finding things, other than Lemmy communities?

I think the best thing is to find a related community to whatever it is you are curious about, and just ask there.

Lemmy is more like a bunch of food trucks in a parking lot, than a restaurant with a long buffet table.

DerisionConsulting, to privacy in How private am I?

Don’t use social media

If you wrote this post, you do use social media.

DerisionConsulting, to risa in Cope

DISC, Picard, and the cartoons just aren’t my vibe, but I am glad they exist for those that love the shows.

DerisionConsulting, to linuxmemes in Why are gnome devs like this?

What’s up with the cum frappuccino line? Is it supposed to be homophobic?

DerisionConsulting, to linux in Fedora or Mint for noob?

I was just quoting OP. I am making no claims of my own.
