Makes sense I guess. I don’t experience this downvoting behavior though, probably because I’ll block any magazine where this happens.

So, out of curiousity, why are you on Lemmy if that’s how you feel?

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•As someone in stem who has never felt smarter than anyone how do you justify your sucess?
1·11 days agoBeing the smartest person in the room means you have nothing new to learn from those in the room.
If that’s how you feel when you think you’re the smartest, you’re not that smart.
It was studied in the Netherlands a few years ago, and it turns out that for people from the same social economic background in the same city, the neighbourhood you grew up in made all the difference. Oeople who grew up in the “right” neighbourhood made on average 50% more pay.
Also in the Netherlands.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is something about how people view or use technology that needs to die?
5·18 days agoI don’t agree with your take on evolution, I don’t see a natural selection mechanism that prevents reproduction if you don’t adapt to new technologies. Some will even claim it’s the opposite. I think maybe modern medicine has pretty much halted human evolution.

6·18 days agoI agree. Just yesterday I was talking with my wife about this regarding the switch to ms teams our employers have made. Ever since, everything that could be done with one action now takes at least two. So I showed her the link where you can add shortcuts from teams to your onedrive, so you can at least work with explorer like a decent caveman.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are alternative to searching using web search engines?
1·1 month agoIt depends on the subject. For some things I use search engines, for some things I’ll just google for books or research on the subject matter and obtain pdf’s for those, some stuff on relevant internet fora, and it used to be that youtube had some good info, though lately it’s overrun by AI slop.
If I remember correctly, the coin thing was dropped during covid for some reason.
Plane delayed by an hour due to Italians
I’ve actually had that happen too. I was in Rome in 2006, and Italy was playing the world cup finals on the day we flew back. Ground crew couldn’t be bothered to do their job during the match, so we flew with a two-ish hour delay.
Ofc if all you do is “have fun” and be a sexual hedonist you’ll never find out what a real connection between two human beings is, all you know is how a body feels like, so hopefully you date for love and long term monogamy and not just look for fun because your peers are doing it too and you feel excluded. With that line of thinking you could defend doing crack! And, just btw, being a thot is not a necessary part of human development, lol.
This part, if you’re not monogamous (or at least strive to be) you’re a thot and might as well do crack. Who are you to infringe your values on someone else, someone you don’t even know?
Wow, that’s a lot of judgement on a sunday morning, you didn’t go to church yet?


My dad used to put ice cream in a mug, and then place it on the metal plate of the biggest burner in the stove to melt it a little. This worked about a hundred times before the mug exploded in a lot of tiny pieces.
