thetreesaysbark,

It was clear. I think the guy you’re replying to is the outlier for their interpretation.

thetreesaysbark,

I’m pretty sure banks don’t just make up money but I’d be interested in finding out why you think they do.

thetreesaysbark,

Hey, I simply said what I thought and expressed interest in what you thought. Not everyone here is trying to attack you.

thetreesaysbark,

I think the answers to the question are generally isaying it isn’t as simple as ‘creatijg money out of nothing’. They may be creating money but that money is backed against assets which they do own.

because banks are government regulated and insured institutions, forced to back each loan with reserves, and regulated to have capital for each of those loans, they cannot really be said to make this private money out of nothing.

thetreesaysbark,

Is slack more intelligent than teams for this? With teams you can open a word doc and put something on the space bar and it’ll keep you active

thetreesaysbark,

Just do nice?

thetreesaysbark,

I wonder if prices being 24.99 makes a difference here too.

That would mean that for each gift card where the full amount is not spent, the company keeps 0.01. That 0.01 is technically owed but it doesn’t prevent the company from earning interest on the unspent cash (I don’t think).

thetreesaysbark,

Whilst this was a very entertaining read, you dropped your pedanticness (pedantry?) when you started calling Lemmy communities ‘subreddits’.

If we can’t call a tomato and cheese toasty a grilled cheese with tomato we definitely can’t call these communities subreddits! :D

thetreesaysbark,

I feel betrayed

Haha I don’t think it’s about fear. It’s probably about having hundreds of years of using those measurements, and it being very baked in to the language used between people to communicate.

Nobody wants to have to translate between kg and stone all the time. It’s tedious. If you live in a country where all your interactions are going to be in one measurement then you’re probably just going to go along with everyone else.

Even down to ‘goin down the pub for a pint’ being a commonly used phrase which doesn’t have the same ring when it’s '‘goin down the pub for a half litre’.

thetreesaysbark,

I just went on Reddit. I could down vote.

What gives?

thetreesaysbark,

They’re very normal. Best thing to do is not sweat them. Fixating on them is what can cause issues.

thetreesaysbark,

This sounds like my Ubuntu xp as well. Although I haven’t had the arch xp to compare it against which makes me slightly hesitant to jump in.

I’m pretty tempted to revamp my old laptop to arch though. Just needs funds for enough personal storage first.

thetreesaysbark,

I think a VPN will then help with this.

thetreesaysbark,

When they fly away they first fly up and backwards. So if you come at them from this angle you’ll hit them a lot more often.

Source: something rotted in my bin.

thetreesaysbark,

I think the comparison is valid though. People want to know if Lemmy is a good alternative for them and you can only do that by comparing.

It doesn't take away that Lemmy is it's own thing.

wife and I had a bad session tonight and I need advice.

Usually we are good, sexwise, bit's becoming apparent something is off this year. She thinks the issue is poor health which is probably a component, especially in past sessions but tonight I was getting increasingly frustrated and just didn't speak up. I don't know where to turn to for advice on this. Essentially I was doing all...

thetreesaysbark,

Another thing to suggest is if you can both work out together or on a similar plan.

I’ve found that whilst we don’t run together, we both run the same amount each week at different times.

This means our experiences are similar and we can motivate each other to not lapse on things.

How do you guys feel about our economic future?

thetreesaysbark,

You should probably specify which country you're referring to.

thetreesaysbark,

I'm curious... Is agtech doing well at the moment?

thetreesaysbark,

Who's to say whose world view is "correct". I'd say it's more important to do as other commenters have said, encourage critical thinking and research.

The child is their own person, not an extension of the parent to be influenced.

thetreesaysbark,

The government is also made up of different groups. Whilst one hand (security) may get more authoritarian, another hand (education) may encourage more liberal(?*) concepts, like knowing your source.

*I couldn't think of the right word for this.
