Not gonna get people to stop watching CBS either.

Hmm, seems to me the more reasonable ask would be for people to play solid general defense rather than to cut out specific "evil companies". Use a decent piece of anti-tracking software. Be thoughtful about what data they give out when signing up for services.

Versus telling people to avoid CBS, which likely comes off a wee bit conspiracy-sounding to the layman.

No red flags here. Looks good.

Sure, it's "ok" in that I don't think you should go to jail for it.

But you need to be "ok" with the consequences. Like how many people would be turned off by your language and would not want to associate with you. Who would judge you as a high-drama person to avoid (this is where I am personally, given your description of using a slur to try to bait someone into trouble). And people like school administrators who would remove you for breaking their specific rules on speech (or mods on a forum). And the employer who would fire you for using what is generally seen as unprofessional language.

Be very skeptical of any "rules" of first dates. This one is definitely bunk.

Lots of people don't drink.

Lots of people don't like bars.

Lots of people think dinner/drinks where there is nothing to do but chat is an awful first date. (Hello, this one is me 100%).

Lots of people are conscientious of drinking on a first date with a person they don't know as a safety measure. (Hello, me again).

Throw in religious/cultural/medical needs on drinking and this "rule" falls apart even faster.

Depends on context of the conversation. Could mean something like City Museum in St. Louis, Missouri or it could mean a sex thing.

Curious if anyone on here has had zero negative interactions. I don't know if that's possible.

If any negative interactions stresses you out, OP, a forum-style community like this might not be for you. Or maybe you would be happier on an instance that disables downvotes; there are a few of them out there.

I've been very pleased with your performance since joining the family 30 seconds ago. How would you feel about joining our management training program? Double the work for 10% more pay. I'm so proud. Can I call you son?

Hired!

Cooked or uncooked? Either way, you seem like a good fit for the team.

His math and logic works are a good read. The Game of Logic (1886) for one.

Ah, well I disagree with that too. I don't care for most billboard method actors, not Joaquin Phoenix, not Jared Leto, not Hillary Swank, not even Daniel Day Lewis. Actors I am not impressed by for the amount of accolades they get are highly correlated with actors who utilize the more intense end of method acting, even before I know anything about them outside the specific role.

I've also seen where I generally like an actor but dislike a specific role when they use method acting and normally don't e.g. Charlize Theron.

But it's a personal opinion, isn't it? There's no objectively "good" actor without clear criterion for definition of "good".

Watched my coworker move her cursor to the right edge of her right-hand monitor to get it to over to the left side of her left-hand monitor. When I offered to show her how to adjust her display settings, she said she was used to it and didn't want to change it. I don't think I can walk by her desk while she's working ever again.

What have you got?

 

I'm using Boost for Lemmy on Android and when others post spoiler tags, I still see the text that should be hidden until tapped. Being able to see through spoiler tags is keeping me from engaging as readily with spoiler-filled communities.

Is there any adjustments I can do to fix it or is it something that can only be done at app or instance or Lemmy as a whole level? TY.

 

Also New York and Missouri

Anyone with an Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield plan will soon have to pay out of pocket for anesthesia if a surgery or procedure goes longer than expected, according to the American Society of Anesthesiologists.

The health insurance provider said they will no longer pay for anesthesia care if a surgery or procedure goes beyond a specific time limit. This will apply to patients in Connecticut, New York and Missouri.

The American Society of Anesthesiologists said Anthem can pre-determine the time allowed for anesthesia, and if an anesthesiologist submits a bill where the actual time of care is longer than Anthem's limit, the company will deny paying for it.

Inspired by a post since deleted, I feel bad for probably coming off judgemental about the poster's taste in the movie that drove him to consider sailing.

The earliest desired media I can remember that drove me to figure out sailing was DC Talk, a Christian rock band. Pop music was not allowed in my house, so a Christian group was tantalizing and scandalous to a rebellious, young Vanth. Things escalated from there.
