66% of Americans want European-style vacation policies, like being OOO for the entire month of August
  • Lol as an American I feel uncomfortable putting in more than 2 consecutive DAYS in a row and I'm salaried, not a service worker or anything. I can't even imagine having 2 weeks off. I've only been able to manage that once in my adult life during one of my transitions to a new company.

  • How many hours a day do you actually work?
  • It fluctuates based on workload, but I find myself working anywhere from 4-5 hours a day to basically nonstop during my workday (9 hrs). I do think most people are really only capable of doing "good" work, meaning being at their most productive, for about 3 hours a day though. The rest of the time is spent slogging through and putting out mediocre work, just to get it done.

  • I've noticed that lemmy as a whole is much more leftist than reddit (outside of political servers of course)
  • What is your answer to a scenario in which a woman using birth control properly in a loving monogamous relationship becomes pregnant when neither party wants a child? The most common form of birth control (the pill), when taken properly only has a 97% effective rate. Pair that with a second form of birth control (i.e. the pullout method) and it will go up but it will never be 100% effective.

  • Are we defederated from Lemmy.ml or is there a massive sync issue?
  • Lemmy.world has not yet upgraded to the new update that was pushed a couple of days ago because they are waiting on the captcha support coming in the next update (which should be soon). Once lemmy.world upgrades to the most recent version of lemmy (I think 2.8.1?), all the posts will sync again. Right now we are not syncing.

  • YSK how to subscribe to kbin magazines from lemmy

    Why YSK: making the most of the fediverse means aggregating content from as many places as possible, but it's not an intuitive process right now, especially for those using apps like Jerboa or Mlem.

    I have been seeing some comments from people struggling to subscribe to kbin magazines from Lemmy so here's a step-by-step of how I've been doing it:

    1. Note the name of the kbin magazine you want to subscribe to (example: kbin.social/m/books)
    2. Log into your Lemmy instance from a browser
    3. The Lemmy instance you are registered with will be the first part of the URL and the kbin community will be the second part. Example: I'm registered with lemmy.world so to register with the kbin Books magazine I would type https://lemmy.world/c/books@kbin.social
    4. From there, just hit subscribe and it will start showing up anywhere you're logged into your Lemmy instance (I use Jerboa).

    Hopefully this helps spread the word!
