I’m gonna guess that “Quite the opposite; I have very strong morals. This however icludes things like not lying which means that I always speak the truth and not everyone likes hearing it. I don’t follow many of the social norms expected of me.”

is the reason for this

“A person recently said to me that they sometimes feel gaslighted around me because I so effortlesly make them question their own beliefs and feelings.”

It’s good to remember that most of our society is based on lying, and that most people prefer someone nice, rather than someone honest.

Those legit made me change my lemmy client after 6 months of sync.

no

just no

please

It takes two is a fantastic experience to have with a loved one, even if inexperienced with games, it is very forgiving

“I live in a trashy society” don’t we all brother

More seriously, you got great advices in the thread, esp the pen and the muffins. You can offer sweets without having it mistaken as a romantic gestures, it then depends on the sweets you offer. A box of chocolates intent can easily be misconstrued, a box of donuts/muffins, much less so. Except if said muffins have hearts on them, it’s all about context.

Good luck !

It’s easier said than done tbh. It seems to be slowly changing lately tho, there’s hope still.

Do you know if there are, or if there are plans for a “new” Turing test ?

Stop blaming Devs and blame corpo above them. Can’t guarantee that’s the case here but it’s almost always their fault rather than the Devs when things go wrong on a launch like this.

Had a bit of fun with weird proverbs with coworkers today, two that stayed :

The one who swallow a coconut, has complete trust in his anus.

Don’t pretend to be a tiger when you’re a kitten.

Not really on theme, but the first one will often get a chuckle out of people without having to be on a pillow.

We tried to warn you all but oh dear

Why do you feel that you have to expressly go out of your way to show to the world that you’re stupid ?

Is it a competition we don’t know about ? Maybe a bet ?

Numerous studies have proven that WFH is better for production, morale of the worker, and then the plethora of perks that comes with not having to go to work.

It doesn’t make your point null, but you’re more or less just the exception that confirms the rule.

Even if your point is right, which I don’t know and don’t care, why even try to make it ?

What discussion are you furthering with that ?

Why spend the effort ?

And I’m not using anything not available to app users, unless you’re using IOS but at this point, I think you have others problems to worry about experience wise overall

You get streak freezes for free now (through quests), relatively often even, I generally get them back in two days if I use both of them in a weekend because I’m busy.

I really considered subscribing until I started using it on Firefox because of the ads, without the ads it’s a great free experience imo

Privacy Badger and ublock origin here, never ever got an ad on Firefox

No, they don’t punish typos, to the point I sometimes have mistakes counted as typos (I distinctly remember typing Schwimmt instead of schwimmst the other day and it said Be careful typos, but counted it right, end up having to check with my gf in those cases)

I don’t know why the experience seems so different between people, maybe it actually is, maybe it’s expectations. All in all it’s free, I don’t forget that and through Firefox android I get a very good experience.

Can’t speak for the entshitification but actively punished unsubscribed users?

I’ve been using it for two months, learning Germans, I just use Firefox in android instead of the app and I get no ads, only 5 failures but I rarely reach that on a daily basis (I don’t want to burnout and I’m pretty sure it’s better for learning to not go too fast) and if I ever reach it, I currently have 1k gems. I’m actually surprised at how little use I’d get out of the subscription.

Thanks for the shares, very interesting, it’s much worse than I thought it turns out ahah

I’m not on masto, lemmy is enough to browse for me on a daily basis but I might check out a few things there

Now, even though it might not change much to the future of the fediverse with meta meddling, I’m definitely migrating !
