I think you mixed up your left and rights, bud.

I work in HR. Im also working on getting the fuck out of HR. Not into anything techy, though. I came here from reddit just before rif died.

A box of cereal is like $6 and all sugar. It will provide 3-4 bowls of cereal for that price, with no actual nutrition. If you can afford a box of cereal a day, you can live on instant noodles instead for like 3 days and have the 20 for a brand new rice cooker. Or just go to the thrift store.

Cereal is not a poor person food. It is not nutritious, cheap, or filling. It is an expensive box of sugar. I get that it can be hard to imagine conditions we haven't personally experienced, but it can't be THAT hard to do basic math and put yourself in that situation for one second to understand that eating cereal for every meal is not cheap or sustainable.

I think you missed their point actually.... rainbows were never just rainbows that you 'remember'. You miss your innocence.

At what cost?

And themselves

It does though, understanding what interest is and how it works is pretty relevant. Understanding percentages and fractions is important for things like cooking too. Ever tried to build something without using any math? It's everywhere, it literally describes our world in a language that allows us to predict things as well.

'I don't understand so it doesn't exist'

Plenty of people actually did leave reddit, myself included. It wasn't the API tax though, that was just the beginning.....

I really used reddit to lurk and scroll when I was bored. If I can't use the app I'm used to, there is no reason for me to return. Especially with the way they have been treating the community, I havent been back for about 3 weeks. I downloaded a lemmy app and put that in the same spot as rif was, and I havent looked back.

Because abusive relationships force people to stay in them for reasons people who haven't been in that situation could never understand. Seems you haven't been, so you drag people who have. Women, specifically. Fun!

Yup, actually putting the gun in a locked safe or maybe a trigger lock or a safety switch or taking out the bullets, nothing else would work.... responsible gun owners are not a problem. Stop creating an issue where there isn't one. Gun control isn't just banning guns.

Why would I have someone live for free in my house who doesn't contribute to the expense of upkeep? Ie, a freeloader. That's what rent is. Sorry, a partner doesn't expect their SO to pay their way for them just because they pay a mortgage payment instead of a rent payment. Add to that, now since it is a mortgage payment, any repairs and other incidentals are paid for by the owner as well. Does this person get to just break things and expect the partner to pay for it? That's another thing rent covers. Why have a partner that is more expensive than being alone? Why have a partner at all?

'Alternative facts'

Its pretty useful information when you're converting recipes. Most measuring sets don't come with a 1/8 cup or smaller, so it's pretty helpful in the case that you end up with a small fraction of a cup.

That's very dependent on there actually being another way to get around. Public transit isn't good everywhere, people still need to be able to go get groceries and things. Most people are not trying to cause inconvenience to others, they are just trying to live their lives.

Having a bunch of posts taken from another site with no real interaction with OP or anyone else isn't driving traffic here, it's boring the people who come here for discussion. The actual user posts will get drowned out by the huge number of reddit scraped posts. If something is interesting and fits a community here, post it. But scraping reddit to lemmy isn't really helping as much as it might seem.

Food addiction and other types of eating disorders are a thing. Your comment is pretty insensitive.

This is the same decision that would've been made before covid about any other vaccine, so why be a donor in the first place? Genuine question, I don't understand.

Yeah, generally. Is 'terrible twos' a saying in your area? It is in mine. Toddlers suck.
