World News@lemmy.world•Women are being abandoned by their partners on hiking trails. What’s behind ‘alpine divorce’?English
85·3 months agoIts the absurd generalizations that are the problem.
If the parking was obstructing something else you can report it to enforcement for towing/ticketing or the owners of the lot. If it was not obstructing something else then you are being ridiculous and trying to put people in their place. I read this reply as nothing but ego and lots of assumptions (shooting my brains out, wtf?)
Leaving a note and running away is passive. I see what you mean, but disagree.
Its stupid and petty. By calling out an asshole this way you show yourself as also being an asshole. Resorting to passive aggressive name calling and insults from mild inconvenience is not a good look.
AI has free reign to scrape Lemmy or any federated site. But at least the data being scraped isn’t curated and moderated by a massive advertising platform.
They killed my favorite app “rif”, so I started using the web version. Then they made the web version almost unusable with the “open this in our app” banner on every page which was the last straw for me. Can’t use third party apps, and the web version is constantly nagging you to not use it? Stupid. Now I just use Lemmy on Firefox and have had 0 issues.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why aren't people harassing marketers?English
1·7 months agoI still get unsolicited phone calls regularly and report it to my carriers spam reporting channels. It never ends!! Phone numbers from multiple states ive never been to. This is indeed still a problem and carriers are trying to make money off of it by selling upgraded tools/apps to mitigate it.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•whatever happened to in-store coffee grinders?English
2·9 months agoI use the coffee grinders at WinCo regularly in AZ. I’m surprised to not see many other comments saying so! They also have a fantastic bulk section. I hope it never goes away.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•USUAL in your country but NOT anywhere else.English
3·9 months agoAre you calling non tippers the assholes, and not the business owners or practice of tipping in general? Tipping is out of control and a stupid obligation as it is currently being used.

Not The Onion@lemmy.world•FCC Chairman Says His “Easy Way Or The Hard Way” Comment About Jimmy Kimmel Wasn’t Meant As A Threat To Pull Licenses If ABC Didn’t Fire HimEnglish
23·9 months agoAny other insult around the facts of what he said or did would be much more helpful than this.
Sure, I just can’t help but imagine how I personally would react if this became common for all patients.
I think I would be offended if some robot came up to try and provide emotional support. Its fake, and reminds me that our society values profit over human life. This should not be normalized as a necessity due to missing money that is going to the pockets of administrators, owners, insurance, and whoever else…this is pathetic.

Curtis Evans, of Evanston, carries a U.S. flag through gas deployed by federal officers as they clear protesters from the entrance of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Broadview on Sept. 19, 2025. Evans said he was a Marine during President Ronald Reagan’s term. (Stacey Wescott/Chicago Tribune)

81·9 months agoHow can you tell? Just curious as a Marine veteran. We used to do jumping jacks and pushups in the gas room until the last man couldn’t take it anymore. Those were the days!
Edit: Oops nm, I found the source on this guy.

DUI. I was dismissed during jury selection, i think from questioning the accuracy and last calibration date of the breathalyzer device when they asked what I would want to know about during the trial.
That was after someone else was pleading emotionally with the judge/attorneys to dismiss them because of a family member being killed by a drunk driver. The jury member said they would be unfair and vote guilty no matter what, and the judge argued their perspective was important for the jury. They were selected.
No conclusions here. It was an interesting process and I was only there an hour or two.
