Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•If you suddenly had 5 million dollars today, what would you do with it?
6·14 days agoRetire. Don’t like my job. Tech is circling the drain.
Other people posted some details but essentially if you’re not an idiot you can park that in safe investments and live a happy life.
I get so frustrated when I read about people who like win a few million, blow it on like stupid cars and houses, and end up poor again. Just don’t do that.
Agree with the other poster - too open is a net negative. There’s like 3 games I don’t want to play for 1 game I do.
There’s an RPG meetup I go to sometimes. They list some games on their blurbs so people know it’s not just a DND hangout.
Personally I would want to know what kind of games. There’s a wide range. Monopoly? Catan? A six hour indie extravaganza? Same with cards and video games. Like I would go to a sekiro tournament but avoid a CoD thing.
I dislike AI. It’s like the one ring. Stop trying to use it. But all these people think they’re stronger than Boromir.

Technology@beehaw.org•DoorDash Spent $1.4 Million Trying to Stop Mamdani From Becoming Mayor. Now We Know Why.
60·18 days agoHaha get fucked DoorDash. I’ll pick up my own food before using them.
Yeah. I wouldn’t bring it up as a non sequitur but it’s pretty important.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Why is the USA the only country that doesn’t use the metric system?
162·27 days agoWe’re a stupid country rules by assholes and morons.
You just know if someone tried to make a serious push for it, all the fox news types would go into a frenzy. It’d be an easy way to whip up their idiot base.

Gaming@lemmy.ml•This is basically me whenever people ask if I play videogames
741·1 month agoI’ve had several girlfriends who were like “you play video games? Like… <worried expression> call of duty?”
They were all relieved when I was like no.
Less relieved when I got them to play cuphead co-op.
I accept that your job likely has different cadences than software development, in addition to personal preference.
Most software engineers I’ve talked to don’t like being interrupted in the middle of some deep thought. Especially if it means shelving current work to check out something else
I didn’t mean I need them to keep it digital. I meant I don’t want my train of thought interrupted. A “take a number” and “now serving” sign would work fine, if it gated the conversation until I was ready. Or just they send a message asking to talk and wait for me to say “ok come on over”
-
poor heating/cooling. Usually offices aren’t a comfortable temperature for everybody.
-
not getting compensated for the commute. It’s a pay cut. Fuck you, management.
-
people that just walk up to your desk and start asking questions. Send a message like “can we talk about XYZ?” and I’ll get to it when I get to it. Though this maybe is a learned behavior from people who are bad at responding to messages.

I had a pair of coworkers that would chat over slack all day. One of them had a laugh. My other coworker at the other side of the large office would message me “what’s so fucking funny over there?”. I never knew because they never shared.

Open Source@lemmy.ml•Nvidia agrees to buy Hugging Face for $12.9 billion, report says
20·1 month agoShouldn’t be allowed. Companies shouldn’t be allowed to buy each other. We already know what happens with consolidation.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How many tabs do you have open on your phone/laptop right now?
1·2 months agoDesktop: 0. It’s off. I close the browser when I’m done
Phone: the number says 64, but only 25 “active”. I should probably prune.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Why is it such a crazy idea that the public should own the means of production?
29·2 months agoRich people don’t want to give anything up.
Assholes don’t want their out-group to have anything nice. Even if it means they suffer.
Many people don’t know shit about fuck, and they’re just trying to get through the week.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Is it just me or i feel life is getting more difficult these days?
221·2 months agoMy dad used to rant about how government should be run like a business,
Anyone who sincerely believes that is too fucking ignorant and or stupid to be taken seriously. They’re a hazard to themselves and their polity.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•You Should Stop Using Meta (Facebook) Products at All Costs
301·2 months agoAs with all things involving humans, you can’t really change minds with facts. It’s just emotions and peer pressure.
Not a bad post, but I expect it won’t sway people who aren’t already on board.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Lemmings who order cheese pizzas, have you always just ordered cheese pizzas or is that something that happened with age?
3·2 months agoI think a plain cheese pizza is slightly different than a margherita pizza. It won’t typically have the basil leaves, and the cheese is more uniform.
I’m thinking of like dollar slice pizza. Like these https://secretnyc.co/seamless-dollar-cheese-slice/
But I’m not a pizza-ologist.

I’m pretty happy with libre office. Not keen on AI code
