As a 46 year old dev I’m starting to look that way too.

Exactly what I thought too.

Sounds like all she did was toss it in a draw for 10 years, so very tenacious of her.

How do you pronounce gift?

Not me thinking Anime Leaker is some kidna new kink I hadn’t heard about.

Calling a restaurant, in this economy?

Yep! Huge red flag.

I can’t draw for shit, but I’m excited to see the results!

I wasn’t necessarily calling you an asshole, it’s just a quote that represents what the other commenter was talking about.

To answer your initial question, I haven’t personally noticed Lemmy being more toxic than other platforms like it. Most conversations I’ve had have been pleasant. But I tend to avoid commenting on hot button topics. You commented on a topic that people feel strongly about and got angry comment replies. I wouldn’t say that necessarily represents the site as a whole. But both of our experiences are anecdotal so it’s difficult to say which is more common.

“If you run into an asshole in the morning, you ran into an asshole. If you run into assholes all day, you’re the asshole.”

so how would a smart person react to this?

I would just start working the same way they do. If you’re the only one with that work ethic and picking up their slack you’re probably enabling them to be lazy because they know it will get done. If things stop getting done in a timely manner someone higher up may notice and do something about it then hopefully everyone will have to start contributing again. Also might be worth talking to your boss about it.

I’m not sure how common this situation is, but I’d assume different places have different work cultures. Looking for another job is a good idea, hopefully you’ll find a place that’s a better fit.

Probably wouldn’t be difficult either, there is a “Bot” check box for accounts so they should all be marked that way. Maybe if I get some motivation I’ll do a pull request.

Lemmy suggestion: Don’t show bot comments in the total comments on a post. Way too many posts I open only to find it’s just this fact checker bot.

Exactly what I was going to suggest. My mom had ankle surgery earlier this year and used one for a few weeks while recovering.

Kids.

What about solar freakin’ roadways?!

I misunderstood, I thought they had to be eligible to be on the ballot, but it does make more sense that they have to be eligible by the time they take office.

To get on a ballet every state has a different filing date, none of them are after she’s old enough.

“But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States.”

Not early enough to get on the ticket.
