The afterlife lasting an eternity may not be all that it’s cracked up to be. I enjoy this quote because it provides a different perspective of looking at our daily lives.

“Let’s suppose that you were able every night to dream any dream that you wanted to dream. And that you could, for example, have the power within one night to dream 75 years of time. Or any length of time you wanted to have. And you would, naturally as you began on this adventure of dreams, you would fulfill all your wishes. You would have every kind of pleasure you could conceive. And after several nights of 75 years of total pleasure each, you would say “Well, that was pretty great.” But now let’s have a surprise. Let’s have a dream which isn’t under control. Where something is gonna happen to me that I don’t know what it’s going to be. And you would dig that and come out of that and say “Wow, that was a close shave, wasn’t it?” And then you would get more and more adventurous, and you would make further and further out gambles as to what you would dream. And finally, you would dream … where you are now. You would dream the dream of living the life that you are actually living today.”

I don’t talk to HR

That’s a copout and you know it lol. If you wouldn’t discuss this with HR, it’s a good sign that it’s NSFW.

Assume any kids old enough to be on this site have already had basic sex education

This is about whether or not the content is nsfw, not about whether or not folks should see this. Marking nsfw content as nsfw is not censorship, nor does it prevent people who want to see it from seeing it.

Would you ask someone in HR this question, if you were in an elevator with them? Would you bring this up with your parents or some kids?

Some smell tests I’d use for determining if something is not safe for work.

Quite frankly marking something that could be NSFW isn’t about you. It’s a courtesy to others who could view it is nsfw. You’re not required to be courteous, of course.

It’s not that it can make individuals uncomfortable here.

It’s that if someone’s walking by at work and sees that, it can get reported to HR.

Imagine this is the reason your department loses it’s identity

It’s still another skill to learn and master. Some folks work on winning hands at poker, others aim to win free beer at trivia. I, for one, can’t bluff to save my life and have the memory of a goldfish so I’d be a horrible candidate for poker haha.

And, as you said, your friend has the skills to shift his experience from games of chance towards games of skill.

Never used it, but I believe they let you charge your rent to a cc for like a 2% fee or something.

Revenge is a dish best served with beans.

Excellent idea if your utilities accept the method of payment!

You can also pay for rent with a cc using bilt. I believe this year they’re going to start allowing for mortgage payments too!

Yeah, office supply stores will occasionally have sales the fees they charge for visa gift cards, which make that an option.

I love the idea of evil bean god! Thought it was a nice easter bunny chocolate? BAM, BEANS.

THATS WHAT YOU GET FOR CELEBRATING ANOTHER GOD, HERETIC.

Credit card manufactured spending. Still doable, but I think it’s more difficult now.

You sign up for a fancy card with a fancy offer. Say, spend 6k in 3 months, get 1k in points.

Then you go to the local post office, and buy a money order for 6k. They used to be more permissive about letting you charge it on the CC, with only a nominal fee.

Then deposit that money order to your bank, use that money to pay off the charge for 6k. Boom, free signup bonus achieved.

You are now Cyamites, the god of beans. Use your powers wisely.

No clue, could be instances, could be apps. I’ve definitely seen comments of “don’t you see their pronouns?” And the answer is genuinely, no. So I suspect it has something to do with that mechanism.

Probably a good enough reason for folks to ask if someone sees pronouns before trying to shame them. This isn’t the first time I’ve seen this discrepancy on Lemmy.

Wait hold on. Are you shaming someone for not knowing what gender someone named “nakari” is? Cuz if that’s the case you better sign me up for not knowing either.

EDIT: googled this name that I’ve never heard before and the top results said it’s unisex. So uhhhh…

The context of this bump is people being so enamored with tik Tok that they’re interested in a second language just to use a potential replacement.

You can be a dumbass but still be interested in a second language. That doesn’t imply everyone interested in a second language is a dumbass.

Idk if I’m just old now and it’s not the parties I go to but I’m sure glad that “sexy native american” isn’t really a Halloween costume anymore.
