So if a woman was in the same weight class as Mike Tyson, you think they should be allowed to fight each other? And you think this would be a good look?

These hamfisted attempts at equality are actually the complete opposite.

Yes, let's have a bunch of blokes beating the shit out of women in boxing. What could possibly go wrong?

I remember the Brit Awards scrapping gendered awards and putting everyone in the same category. The problem was, the only ones nominated turned out to all be men.

Anytime a website throws this nonsense at me, I immediately go elsewhere.

Read r/Retconned. They seem to have it all figured out... 😂

This kind of thing drives me mad.

If we both like each other, why don't we communicate like adults instead of playing some stupid game?

I'm going to show this post to anyone who asks me what Lemmy is like.

Right. But do you realise how high they would have to be to nationalise multiple trillion dollar companies?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Lol. What a ludicrous idea.

How high do you want your taxes to be, for a start?

That's strange. I don't think I've ever had that before.

I've had it where some apps will give you a kind of greyish dark mode instead of black, that you then need to switch to. But I've never had apps use the opposite to my system settings.

[–] [email protected] 54 points 1 month ago (7 children)

It still annoys me that dark mode is not universally available on every app.

Reddit and Lemmy are pretty much the only two I still use.

I keep up with people I need to through WhatsApp so I don't need Facebook and the like.

 

I've got a job interview on Tuesday and I haven't had one for a while due to a period of unemployment because of family health issues.

One part of interviews I've always struggled with is when they first ask you to tell them about yourself. I struggle to talk about myself anyway and never know what they'd like me to actually say, whether it's about me as a person or about my work history.

So any tips or tricks would be welcome.

 

I have an Emma Original Pillow that I've had for three years and the support is basically non-existent now, so I wake up in the night and end up with neck and shoulder pain.

I've tried a Panda Hybrid pillow and a Simba Hybrid firm pillow but neither were any good to me. The Panda was too low for sleeping on my back and the Simba didn't have the support I needed. If I was purely a side sleeper it would be probably be okay, but of course I have to be awkward.

I generally prefer memory foam pillows, but it's been so long since I've had a good night's sleep, I'm willing to try anything.

 

I'm a lover of physical books but I'm looking to get an e-reader as well, for those books that are hard to find physical copies of, or are just very expensive.

I've ruled out Onyx, because I try to avoid Chinese tech as it's usually poorly made. But I'm not sure whether Kindle or Kobo is best. Is being tied to Amazon's ecosystem too restricting? Are the Kobo e-readers compatible with everything you need? Which ones have the best screens, ideally how a physical book would look?

So many questions, but hopefully some of you can help. 😁

 

I've suffered with anxiety since I was a kid, and things like CBT don't seem to work for me at all. I know pills from the doctor are available, but I only want to go down that route as a last resort.

So does anyone have any experience with CBD products for treating anxiety? The reviews online seem mixed on whether they actually work.

 

Looking to attend a Comic Con for the first time next month and I want to meet Nolan North for either a photo or an autograph.

I know neither of them will give you much time with the guest, but which do you think is the best value for money?

 

Almost like it was a non-starter. Who could have possibly foreseen that?

 

Looking to buy one of these for use around the house, but I'm not overly knowledgeable about them.

The Bose Soundlink Flex seems to have good reviews from the bit of research that I've done, but any recommendations from you guys on good ones to buy?
