I got a cheap office chair when I moved out after college. It was like $15+20 and it's super comfortable and still use it daily over 10 years later.

It's just foam stapled to plywood but really good support.

What does superior mean? If it means superior for the person publishing the song, that likely means it's much cheaper and good enough to not drive away so much traffic you lose profit.

It's essentially the enshittification of culture. Things are being done in the lowest cost way possible and making things worse, but not so much worse that people complain about it.

Mesopotamia was so mid they put meso right in the name.

Casting a wider net.

Some people just have to work harder in certain fields than others. You're skills may be in building, writing, gardening or something else but they're not in attracting a wide variety of matches and that's ok. I also suck at making dating profiles, don't photograph well and don't have the most interesting job.

I just need to put in more hours on Hinge and reach out to more people than a friend of mine who says he just opens the app and can get a date within the hour.

For context, if I'm actively looking I can usually swing one or two dates a month which is fine for my schedule as I work and have other things I'm doing in my free time. I'm also in my 30s so am matching with people who also have busy schedules which makes scheduling even harder.

Both are happening.

It's important to understand what went wrong so when you with on a fix, you won't make the same mistake.

People can both bitch about politicians and also help fix the problem.

So long as the donor checks keep clearing, establishment Dems are happy to play spoiler for big business and let Trump destroy the country.

Many things are social constructs, but we also live in social groups

This is awesome, and done by some really talented kids who are clearly smart motivated and willing to put in the work to get this project out the door.

Now imagine if the resources to do this kind of work as well as the background education and things like food security and economic stability were given to kids outside of an exclusive private boarding school? We'd empower some of the most imaginative of us to accomplish so many more amazing things.

The housing market is fucked, economic mobility is fucked, the climate is fucked. They've already lost to the man, what else do they have to lose?

A government using war to revoke civil liberties and oppress their citizens? Color me surprised.

I already know the answer, but why are what I presume are gate agents employed by a private corporation allowed to detain a citizen who is not a physical threat to anyone over a contract dispute?

Refund his ticket and don't let him on the plane if you're that concerned, or otherwise handle it in civil court after the fact. Using physical force to detain him over a contract dispute should be illegal.

I imagine any time a given server's quality drops, people will just move to another one. I had login issues for a few days on lemmy.world and started using lemmy.ml.

I think its a good thing, healthy for the ecosystem that there's not only redundancy where one site having a moment doesn't kill everyone's ability to use lemmy, and also provides a clear incentive for individual servers to provide good service.
