Do people get partners because as we get older we have less friends?
It's occurred to me that if my wife ever cheated on me, maybe instead of getting upset I could just make friends with her boyfriend. We'd already have it in common that we like having sex with my wife so maybe we'd have other stuff in common, too.

What are you guys doing when there's multiple communities for the same thing across instances?
Start beef. Survival of the fittest.

What kinds of things from reddit would you like to see Lemmy avoid as the user base grows?
Flair would be nice, but I think Lemmy should do it its own way with hashtags. It would be cool to search for hashtags within specific communities, subscribed communities, entire instances, and all instances.

The green bubble problem is about to get even worse (Apple/Android)
I never understood the complaint. If iPhone users don't like the way Apple messaging works with Android contacts, they can just use an alternative like Whatsapp. Right?

Increasing taxes to solve inequality is based on fundamentally wrong assumptions.
Take another shower. Taxes aren't used to fix inequality. They're used to fund infrastructure and services that we all need. They're also used sometimes to redistribute income, but the idea isn't to solve inequality. The idea is to get some income, in one form or another, to people who cannot or should not work, like the sick, children, the elderly, and anyone else excluded from the workforce. This non-working population needs income as much as the working population does and it doesn't make sense to force them to get it in inefficient and harmful ways. Taxation to solve inequality is a myth that isn't happening.

If nothing else, it would be funny if instead of either of us taking her out we were both like "sorry, babe, we're busy playing video games."

I need to survive for 3 days while pooping as much as possible. I can pee as often as I like. It can take up loads of space. What food do I pack?

Is this something you really want to "both sides"? Only one side kills Nazis.

YSK: The term "Genuine Leather", it is not to reassure you that their product is made of leather, rather its the name of the lowest grade of leather a company can use.

Is it really leather, though?

I haven't seen any comments suggesting a plug, so I guess it'll be me. Try using a butt plug.

How did Ikea's Blajah became the symbol of the trans community ?
I don't know about the trans stuff, but Blåhaj has this neat little feature: https://twitter.com/FatherMcGruder/status/1429470778412699652?t=BcBVKBA4DIPtVIif__2c5w&s=19

What free things online should everyone take advantage of?
Stuff from your job. If you're not stealing from your employer, you're stealing from your family.

Visiting the US soon - do I really have to tip?
In America, if you don't tip for things like restaurant table service or delivery, rides (like taxis or Uber), car valet, room service, or someone helping you with your bags, yes, you are the asshole. Yes, tipping is usually just subsidizing employers' payrolls, which is bad, but it is also the cultural norm here. You are likely to be publicly dressed down if you fail to tip, even accidentally. Sorry, but that's just the way it is until we get some real worker organization and empowerment going.

The point is that it's not really Android users' problem. There are options for iPhone users and, yes, if they really want to use the native iPhone messaging app they can complain to Tim Apple. Cc: @[email protected]
