    The CEO isn’t paying that salary. It’s a cost of business. A business you’re paying for as a customer. All the customers pay a percentage of a nickel extra for shopping in a store that has a cart returner on the payroll.

    I suppose ithe job pays badly and isn’t very interesting. It’s not something I’d waste my life doing. I wouldn’t want my kids to do it either. Actually I wouldn’t recommend it for anyone. Life has much more to offer than pushing carts all day.

    So, congratu-fucking-lations, you’ve created a job that nobody ought to do and made everyone pay for keeping a sorry ass kid on poverty wage.

    Ok, so you’d argue that by pushing the cart back, then you’re the one doing the same meaningless job for free. Good point, right?

    But here’s the catch: Nobody ever needs to return a cart.

    There are at least two ways to do this.

    One: We can all accept that the cart doesn’t have a home to be returned to and just leave them wherever and pick them up at the same place. This is obviously the chaotic neutral way.

    Two: Pack your groceries in bags in the cart after (or while) paying. When you push the cart back towards the car, you walk by the cart corral, pick up your bags and walk to the car while leaving the cart in the corral. It’s fucking magic.


  • He’s missing some punctuation, but the point is that the burden of proof ought to be on the people making the claim instead of as it commonly happens, that people state something wild and then spend their time arguing against the proofs against it. The secondary point is that people who do this are already blind to this, so they are basing their arguments on something that only they believe, and strongly believe without proof.

    It makes discussion futile, because the people believing in random stuff are asking for evidence against something untrue that is based on something untrue which is based on something untrue. It’s 2 or more steps away from logic.

    I don’t know if that made any more sense, so let’s make an allegory with math.

    Let’s say a person wrongly believes that 2=3. This belief is unknown for anyone besides themselves. Based on this, they conclude that 2x3=4 and state that openly. So a sane person would argue that 2x3=6. The first person then claimss that 6 is wrong, and the second person will attempt to prove it logically. It does not matter how much proof the sane person provides of the 6 because the first person does not understand that from their belief. The 2=3 belief is never discussed, only the 6.

    The result is that they will never agree.

    The best way to counter this kind of stupidity is not by logical argumentation. It’s better to simply ask “why?” until the wrong person argues themselves into a position of belief, which can then be countered by a final “why?” to which they have no answer and are forced to reevaluate their belief, and hopefully come to a better one, or at least start questioning that instead.



  • Jeg kan huske at Reddit for nogle år siden gjorde at man udelukkende kunne deltage i deres "Place* aprilsnar ved at installere deres app, som alligevel ikke virkerde. På lemmy har samme event kørt uden problemer i både browser og apps flere gange.

    Her er det en smagssag om man bruger browser eller app. Jeg foretrækker app’en fordi jeg hurtigt kan swipe up/down votes osv. og komme videre til næste post (i en lind strøm af internet brainrot).

    Mit indtryk af den lokale instans er at det er et fåtal som poster det meste,og at flere aktive vil være meget velkomne.

    Jeg er selv skyldig i ikke at poste ret meget her udover kommentarer, fordi jeg primært følger andre communities fra andre instanser og ikke altid husker at komme hjem omkring. Jeg læser dog det hele.

    Slå dig bare løs. Det kan da godt være at vi allesammen allerede har læst nyheden på dr.dk, men vi har jo ikke hørt din mening før du skriver den i kommentarfeltet.

    Og vi kan også godt diskutere. Men vi behøver ikke blive Facebook-uvenner over det… På det punkt er det en brun bodega. Vi ses i morgen, jo.


  • Velkommen til de nye.

    Jeg skiftede selv hertil for snart 2 år siden og har ikke haft brug for Reddit siden da.

    feddit.dk er lille, men den er sammenkoblet med alle de andre instanser, som man også kan tilgå med samme profil. Det kan være lidt vanskeligt at gennemskue, men når først man har været lidt omkring, så fungerer det fint med resten af verden på samme måde som man kender det fra reddit. I må hjertens gerne poste her og der og alle vegne, og selvom det nogle gange føles som et brunt værtshus hvor alle kender alle, så er det fuldstændigt tilladt at byde ind med hvad som helst; det vil generelt blive modtaget positivt. Der er ikke så mange trolls og gatekeepers her.

    Jeg bruger ikke desktop versionen, men kører i stedet på telefonen med en app., ligesom jeg også gjorde med reddit. Jeg bruger lige nu Connect, men Voyager kan også anbefales. Derudover findes også Jerboa og Sync. Forskellen er mere eller mindre udseendet. De fleste apps har et NSFW filter, som kan til og fra-kobles efter behov, eller man kan bruge en guest account fra den instans hvor man vil se noget fra…

    I er hermed onboardet.






  • I’ve used Connect the most. Also tried Jerboa and Voyager.

    The reason is that I prefer a tiny list view with thumbnails on the right, just like old.reddit used to look and RiF could be made to look. I left Reddit due to this. When they cut off 3rd party apps like RiF, there was really no good way to view the site (in my opinion). Connect simply has the settings to make it look and behave exactly how I want it. I think Voyager can be made pretty close too. Jerboa was kind of buggy when I tried it.

    I’m sure things have improved in all the apps during the last year, but I’ve stuck with Connect because it’s both stable and flexible enough. It gets frequent updates and issues are fixed quickly. I reported a bug once and the developer got it fixed within hours.
