I don't see it as a game of one-upping. An influencer getting free merchandise with absolutely no guarantee of revenue is a loss for the producer if there's no revenue guaranteed. The producer reimbursing after revenue is gained isn't one-upping them, it's a business agreement that protects their business. I think it's absolutely proper to offer a counter in a business agreement, that's how any business operates. Add on to that that OOP is likely a one person operated small business, as opposed to like Nike or CoverGirl who already have enough revenue to cover a handful of losses, and you get an absolutely rational proposal to stay solvent and end with either a win for both parties or a loss on the part of the salesperson who couldn't do their job--which is to sell.

ETA: My boyfriend, who is an independent photographer and video producer, absolutely eviscerated me for this argument lol.

Sync for Lemmy Beta 29 release notes

First, thank you so much for this app. I've tried so many and this one was a no brainier, especially since it is so incredibly customizable. The major feature I've been waiting for is multi column views (I can never go back lol)

I have a couple requests: Is it possible to add voting without opening the post?

This is the only RIF screenshot I have lol but you can see what I mean in the bottom right.

Second, some posts get kind of wonky when there's a title and image so it gets very long:

Any way to make the post on the right look like the one on the left? I think it's specifically when the image is a link preview.

Again thank you so much and either way this app is amazing. I so appreciate the work you've done to make this happen ❤️

What would you tell your 18 year old self?

I know you're desperate. Do not get credit cards. You can hang on a few more years to be able to have nice things. The argument that you need to start building credit is rationalization. Your friends will love you even if you can't buy nice gifts. You're not smarter than every other delusional person who insists they can magically pay back more than they earn. Don't be stupid.

Omg I worked at a cafe/bakery/restaurant and made a breve latte on a whim. I'd never even heard of it before, it was just like "Hmmm I like whole better than 2%, I wonder what half and half would be like." Blew my fucking mind dude. Made one for a friend with like a teaspoon of sugar and she didn't believe me when I told her I didn't use creamer lmao. Breve ALL DAY.

Hahahaha I appreciate you! I immediately shared with my bf, who rolled his eyes, and the people at the diner we were at who mostly had no idea what I was talking about lmao. I think this is a wonderful opportunity for me to ruin more lives 😎
