what in the world is PTO? best guess from context is holidays. but why would anyone make it a 3 letter acronym? i am sure any 3 letter acronym has at least 3 different meanings in different contexts…
but if PTO actually is holidays, yes take them. don’t let some third world country grifters, like you find them often in the usa, redefine words and take away basic things - just because they call it slightly different.
unpopular opinion: if your pet has cancer, is constantly sick or requires intensive medical attention - put it down.
i have had many different pets and could never understand how some owners would give pets more treatment, than regular people in poor countries could afford. almost no animal has even close to the lifespan of humans. pet owners need to get comfortable with loosing them.
again displaying, that DRM only hurts legitimate users. a pirate has never had the problem of backing up, moving or sharing his library…
Also a good option to have these “blocks” synced over multiple accounts. I did not think of uBlock Origin at all. Thanks for the Suggestion!
That would be a great feature. I highly dislike the algorithm YouTube & co serve - as it is designed like a tar pit, just to keep you scrolling.
But a Human curated list is basically like getting recommendations from a colleague.
I like the “All” feed, as it allows some new content. My Subscriptions are somewhat smallish and mostly used for focused reading. I am just used to get rid of a certain topic with maybe up to 3 blocks (I don’t think there are many communities, which distribute over more than that many instances).
You are absolutely right, trying to tell people what to post and consume online is an absolutely absurd idea. the trick is to figure out how to find your couple of topics.
My current way of getting rid of unwanted topics is for sure not ideal. But most of the time it works just fine, when browsing randomly. Maybe i will get bored at some time and actually write a script. Thanks for the hint with https://lemmyverse.net/communities ! Hopefully i will remember to post the script here (if I ever get around to it) so others could profit from it. It seems like there might be a tiny audience for that :-)
tkanks! maybe just more than what i am used to, to get rid of a topic :-)
he is as strong as he needs to be for a compelling story. not sure who said something like that (maybe stan lee?). i dont know a single person who watched the original trilogy and did not see vader as a terrifying force.
yes, he did not show as much raw power as in some later media. but he left such an impression, that he still is one of the favourite antagonists now. in videogames, usually the player is served a power fantasy. so the antagonists also needs to up his power by a significant amount. otherwise he woud just be another goon.
what do you mean? maybe the living force is up to interpretation (religion) and jedi masters like qui-gon jinn had a leg up even on strong users like joda. but the force itself (what motti moked as sorcery and religion) is not really a religion. it is well understood and manipulated with precision, by a select few.
there are pins you can put on a tie. usually just a gold button or something point symmetrical. like this: DDG link, but pointing to pinterest
but i think it is quite funny, that this person ‘aims’ the gun at their own head…
i think they got the tomeline wrong… as far as i remember nazi germany offered simmilar deals to jews before forcefully deporting them.
lets not talk about what happened after deportation. if the us gov is so bad with history, it might give them ideas…
i guess there is pixelfed. but i would compare it more to instagram. many lemmy instances allow uploading pictures directly, so you dont necessarily need a separate host.
but where i see the biggest caveat, is costs. cloud storage is not cheap and pictures are extremely large compared to text. therefore some lemmy instances only keep uploaded pics for a certain amount of time.
I dont know whether imgur is keeping pictures for ever or not… so i am not sure if it federated imgur would solve the ‘amnesia issue’ of some lemmy instances.
sometimes you don’t have to (or can’t) have a full plan A-Z. Sometimes you just have to start somewhere - usually with gathering ppl. euromaidan is a great example of that.
but yes, louis could have put more concrete plans in his first video. as he has them. on the other hand he probably throws many things and sees what sticks. i guess that is what you have to do, if you try to change legislation against corpos with much more everything than you.
those guys are just funny 😂
we can argue about the choice of symbol until the world ends. the symbol is just a thing people can recognise and rally around.
the first step of any movement is to gather people. then do something. so yes, changing a picture is lazy, but it is a virtual rally point. he talks about next steps in another video: https://odysee.com/@rossmanngroup:a/you-changed-your-profile-to-clippy-now:6
lazy copy of my comment in another thread:
here, the video which started all: https://odysee.com/@rossmanngroup:a/change-your-profile-picture-to-clippy.:e
and where he goes a bit more into detail and talks about many of the points seen in this thread: https://odysee.com/@rossmanngroup:a/you-changed-your-profile-to-clippy-now:6
if us lefties could only jump over the hurdle of choosing the exact flavour before doing anything. there are more than enough people on the left side of the middle to achieve real change. but we are too caught up fighting minor differences.
fasci, on the other hand, need nothing in common, except an indistinct hatred for random people. the german fascists didn’t like religion at all, but officially worked with the christian church. still they rallied behind a religious symbol and would have died holding it up…
meanwhile we are arguing if even having a symbol is worthwhile

so yes, holidays. if not specifically unpaid leave, all holidays should be paid. sick is not time off anyway. it is recovering, so company resources are used appropriately: not making others sick and being 100% as soon as possible (instead of a zombie at work).
thanks for the response!
