EEE is definitely the SOP, but I'm not sure how that's supposed to work here. I don't think there are that many users to steal away from Mastodon et al, compared to how they did with XMPP, for example.

Thanks. I hadn't seen that one.

What software do you use to control it?

How do you subscribe or follow a lemmy community from Mastodon?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Oh yes, my Mastodon accounts are able to follow and interact with my Lemmy account. I was referring to Meta's claims that Threads would federate. Apparently, it's not working yet.

Oh I mean IRL I would probably react harshly to my wife breaking that boundary, but the worst case scenario is that she does it with someone who's got terrible vibes and just cannot hang.

If nothing else, it would be funny if instead of either of us taking her out we were both like "sorry, babe, we're busy playing video games."

Wow that's beautiful!

It's occurred to me that if my wife ever cheated on me, maybe instead of getting upset I could just make friends with her boyfriend. We'd already have it in common that we like having sex with my wife so maybe we'd have other stuff in common, too.

I don't belong to lemmy.ml, but I'll chime in anyway. I'm somewhere between a communist and an anarchist, which I think aligns well with my material interests as a worker. The communist in me believes that we need a dictatorship of the proletariat in order to subdue the bourgeoisie. The anarchist in me believes that workers need to organize themselves into strong labor unions to help the revolution along and then keep the subsequent worker state in check thereafter.

To be fair, the origins of the offending homeowner, Grant Haber, are unclear. This article doesn't say where he's from. According to Zillow, it seems like he's had the house in Kinnelon since 2014.

In America, if you don't tip for things like restaurant table service or delivery, rides (like taxis or Uber), car valet, room service, or someone helping you with your bags, yes, you are the asshole. Yes, tipping is usually just subsidizing employers' payrolls, which is bad, but it is also the cultural norm here. You are likely to be publicly dressed down if you fail to tip, even accidentally. Sorry, but that's just the way it is until we get some real worker organization and empowerment going.
