Sounds like they have some nasty views irrespective of politics. Treating gay and trans people like people has nothing to do with politics.
We're a similar age. I've let go of people who voiced these views a long time ago. It's not that our politics don't align, it's the fact that they're an ignorant, offensive piece of shit... And I'm not.
Why though? Making everything US-centric helps no one. Have you started talking about one-sixteenth of an inch and tipping people?
Yes we have a dollar and it can be confused with other dollars around the world. Putting in AUD clears up any confusion there and people can do their own conversion and learn something about another country.
I'm torn between curating what I subscribe to here to eliminate overly negative things, with wanting to stay in the know specific industry topics and about important world events.
Unfortunately most of the important world events are negative. And my industry is a disgusting race to the bottom of the consumer exploitation barrel.
So on some days I just try to not open specific types of posts if I know it's just going to get me down. I stick to memes and comics on those days
I think a lot of sweet things taste awful. But that doesn't mean I watch people drinking Coke and can't understand why they like it.
That's because taste is subjective. I only drink things I like. Do you really think people, other than teenagers experimenting, are drinking things they don't like?
And getting black out drunk, again young people aside, is not the aim.
I think you might be a bit sheltered. Not liking alcohol or drinking is fine and normal and should be encouraged for health reasons, but you've made some big assumptions about people.
Same. I like fixing broken things. Also, if a handle breaks off a mug it becomes a pen holder etc. We're drowning in our own rubbish so I don't understand making more being fun?
Like seeing food fights in movies (which I think is the only place this ever happens), it just looks like wasteful stupidity to me.
I'm unnaturally good at flat pack furniture assembly. And I know how pathetic a brag that is, given it's a set of instructions and equipment. But everyone I know complains about it. I genuinely like it.
I set out all the materials and count them against the inventory to make sure they're all there. Then I follow the instructions.
Whenever I've helped someone else do it, they start trying to figure out what attaches to what in the abstract, they tear open bags of bolts as they go and grab the one that looks right only to realise later that it's 2mm shorter than the one they're meant to use.
I don't get it. It's a recipe with all the ingredients provided. Prep the ingredients, cook following instructions.
My partner, who falls into the category of just trying to guess things, is pretty much banned from assisting me until there's a bit where another human is necessary. But even then I'll make do using leverage from furniture if I can.
And that's my super long comment about how I'm good at something that's remarkably easy, because it's designed to be easy, but everyone wants to make it hard and then fight about it.
The rule of the community is you must post before you leave after viewing something. It's obviously not anything policed.
Someone started showing their adherence to this rule by putting the word 'rule' in their post title. People continued this trend, sometimes using a play on words related to the post itself, making crap portmanteaus etc. they're usually not very cryptic.
I'm so over this. So exasperated by it. Every company in a scramble to the bottom. Meanwhile my country's reporting a downturn in FOOD spending because people are fucking poor.
We're being bombarded with ads at every turn, having our data sold off, stolen, or repurposed for LLMs... Meanwhile the customer experience gets worse and worse.
I work in digital ux and honestly, I just want to unplug and go live in a cave.
