As someone who has recently been the person who doesn't care anymore, but has also been the one who does, you aren't doing yourself any favors clinging to someone who isn't interested. It's just going to hurt both of you the whole time and end the same anyway. You can't change their feelings or your own feelings, but you can let them go and try to move on. It sucks and it hurts and it feels like such unfair bullshit, but in the end you will be better off without them, and as painful as it may be to hear they will be better off too.

Hey yeah I'm here about the pipeline. Is there a queue or something?

From a practical perspective highly religious people tend to very anti-intellectual so anything evidence based tends to draw a larger proportion of atheists. Universities are historically the places with the largest concentration of atheists, but working professionals in the STEM disciplines, often being highly educated, tend to also be atheists. If the dominant religion has specific times when people gather for their collective indoctrination, people absent from those gatherings are more likely to be atheists. These are just generalities though. I've definitely met some highly educated nutjobs who believed some crazy bullshit outside their field. Good luck out there.

Edging can be a fun zesty experience

It's a temporary short term solution that is repeatable. If my time working under capitalism has taught me anything it's that a temporary short term solution works perfectly well as a long term solution if you accept it as maintenance. Just gotta clear out the cunts every once in a while.

What's habits precious?

Cheating on exams by gaining a deeper understanding of the material so you can just rederive the answers during the exam.

The true answer, which not one single CEO will ever want to hear until the problem becomes so dire it threatens the business, is if all the tools available are hot garbage, it's time to build your own. Generality in software has a cost, and for large multidisciplinary problems like job tracking or ticketing, that cost makes developing an in-house tool for solving your specific problem and your specific use case much more efficient than what any general tool could produce. All those stupid features that some other company depends on, or no one uses, or are only there because someone was trying to capture all possible use cases, can simply not exist. That makes the tool faster, more efficient, simpler to use, and when you realize there's some feature that would be really valuable you can just implement it rather than cludge together some half assed version in someone else's proprietary shitpile. There is a scale where things like jira make sense, but much like cloud services it's a technical trap because by the time you realize the tool doesn't really work for your use case it's too late to switch. At that point you're already past the point you need to start developing your own tool, but the sunk cost fallacy is a bitch and there's never enough funding for that. Pay no attention to the csuite salaries.

I'm pretty sure the ultra rich aren't the symptom, they're the cause. All that social division and misinformation comes straight from those cunts, and it's on purpose. It's class warfare and always has been.

Luigi Luigi. Luigi Luigi Luigi. Luigi, Luigi Luigi hahaha. Luigi Luigi.

I think your experience highlights the main difference, the ability to leave an instance and disengage with authoritarian assholes without having to leave Lemmy. On reddit your only options are to leave or comply.

Wanted to know if they made any real advances in muscle actuators so I looked this up. They're pneumatic, and the model in the photo barely moves and doesn't stand on its own. An article said they will switch to hydraulics in the future. Neither pneumatics or hydraulics is efficient enough to be useful in a standalone human sized machine, so this looks like more of an art piece aimed at fleecing some idiot venture capitalists.
