That’s really awesome, and I know that rest days are very important.

But uh…I was just making a joke about not going to the gym! Ahaha

I overheard someone saying that rest days can be even more important than gym days because that’s when the body recovers.

My body does a lot of recovering!

Sometimes it helps to take your own advice, like having a conversation with yourself as if you were another person.

Other times, there’s a cloud around our heads that stops that from working.

I hope you find someone to talk to who treats you with the same compassion that you treat others.

Depending on where you live, someone to talk to is probably a phone call away. Give it a try if that’s an option.

Don’t Write Lemmy Posts In Title Case

Actually, I like capitalizing random nouns, so sometimes I might do that accidentally.

Maybe it was a joke that someone used back when she started the job 50 years ago. I could see it being a metaphor for something like the stone tablets that ancient texts were written on…or if she started more recently than that (or the company adopted computers by then), it could refer to information that wasn’t digital.

There’s no need to apologize!

And the other commenter is right. Same meaning for “come in my house”. People will know what you mean, but some immature people might be trying to hide a giggle, haha

English has many prepositions, so they can be confusing. Even native speakers mix them up.

For example…

• “Come in my house” (Ejaculate into my house)
• “Come to my house” (Visit my house)
• “Come into my house” (Enter my house)

So you might say “Come to my house whenever you want” when you want people to feel welcome to visit you any time.

But “Come into my house whenever you like” would be something like… you’re having a party in your backyard, and you want your guests to know that it’s ok to go inside too, and they don’t need to stay in the backyard.

English can be silly like that.

Just so you know, you probably want to say “Come to Europe”.

“Come in Europe” means “Ejaculate into Europe” or “Orgasm in Europe” in many dialects of English.

Which is fine! But probably not what you meant! Lol

Donate to companies like Planned Parenthood who help women access resources for reproductive health and services.

Something like the Internet Archive would also be incredibly important for preserving what politicians and organizations have said (so that they can’t claim they didn’t say something and try to have it erased off the internet).

If money isn’t your strong suit, then I don’t know – I’m not American. But I’ll still comment for the above, and to hopefully help boost this post.

Not sure if it’d be the best response, but I’m pretty sure that Trans people (of either gender) face more discrimination than women do. So changing one’s gender would lead to more discrimination in all cases.

I thought it was a mistake/typo. Those don’t instantly become words just because a reader can guess the meaning

You could have a list of Harris’ lies.

No one could compile a list of Trump’s lies. It’d be much more reasonable to compile a list of truths he’s said.

Man, I wonder how many people answering this question “need to” have coffee every morning

Fun, sure, but not an experiment that would actually be meaningful.

The data from your phone’s microphone doesn’t magically appear in Google’s advertising servers. It would have to go through a lot of steps before it gets there, and one of the first steps is in your home (if you’re on WiFi). One can analyze the traffic/data that leaves their phone.

It’s good to be cautious, but worrying about your phone’s microphone is potentially like worrying about your windows while leaving your front door open.

Yet again, someone mistakes an anecdote for evidence. And evidence is also not the plural form of anecdote.

I’m sure we have people here who are tech-savvy enough to have actually examined the kinds of data that their phone is sharing.

If you have something like Google Home or Amazon Alexa, then yeah, those would be sending voice data back, and yeah, they could probably use it for advertising. But as far as I know, there is no evidence that phones are “always listening” and “always sending information back” when they’re idle.

I could see some accents not pronouncing the L. It may colour the vowel, but not be a distinct sound on its own.

I’m Canadian, and we use a mix of British and American spellings, mostly depending on how we feel at the time of writing.

This is how I use it. So one could mold mould if they were so inclined.

Haha thanks for taking it in good spirits!

Eating a room sounds expensive. Not just in terms of the materials required, but also paying for the aftermath.

There are a lot more poor people than there are rich people. It’s a game of numbers, and a slight increase on the middle class would often bring in more money than a substantial increase on the top percent.

Rich people also have a lot more loopholes they can abuse to pay less in taxes. Closing these loopholes could also potentially/occasionally disproportionately hurt lower or middle class people. They are possible to close, but (A) there’s always more to find, and (B) lobbying means there could be political incentives to not close them.

There’s also the arguments about raising taxes leading to innovation stagnating, or rich people moving to countries with lower tax rates. I’m not sure how much I buy those arguments.

That said, I’m not condoning these. In my country, I think we need to introduce more tax brackets. A doctor making less than $300,000/yr shouldn’t be in the same tax bracket as a CEO making an over $800,000/yr salary before bonuses. But they are in the same tax bracket. That doesn’t feel right to me.

Then it’d just look like a generic building or something! Haha
