In-N-Out Burger bans employees from wearing masks unless they have a doctor's note

It’s not bizarre at all, it’s typical attitudes of conservative bull-headed contrarian trolls like always.

The first original site-wide Lemmy meme is about holding your poop. We should be proud

We used to call these people patronizing but it got gendered for some reason

So, like a Bus, or Train?
Imagine if trains were nice in the US. Riding Amtrack feels like riding in a 20 year old Pepsi can

Did anyone watch Ahsoka? What'd you think?
It was fine. I’ve seen all the shows so I get the backstory and references.
That being said, there are just too many Star Wars and movie cliches to be bearable:
Oh wow she cut her hair dramatically, she’s such a rebel and such a badass. (Cheap and overused character moment)
Staring pathetically at a spaceship flying away after a lightsaber duel (has happened four thousand times in Star Wars)
“Get ready!”
Lightsabers are harmless
Fixing a bomb under a ticking time clock (false peril)
Ancient artifact leads to the location of a place or character in the present (another cliche and cheap writing)
Another star map mcguffin (overused cliche)

How some people afford to travel around the world for months without working?
Reply in thread
It’s rich kids living off of daddy’s money i.e. trust fund babies (trust funds are their own separate thing but you can look that up). It’s not like these people were working as a food server then one day decided to travel the world and make videos about it. They needed a nice financial cushion in order to do that. There are exceptions, but it takes a lot of capital to start your own brand, promote it, pay for the traveling expenses, and somehow get a return.

Online dating
The app worked, you got to know her true colors rather quickly. Imagine putting up with passive aggressive shit like that your whole life, or even for a night.

When sleeping, door open or closed?
Open, to let my stupid cat out otherwise he cries.

Google execs admit users are ‘not quite happy’ with search experience after Reddit blackouts
Reply in thread
The biggest problem is that if you want to find info on a particular subject matter, be it something niche or not, there’s no dedicated place to find discussions on it unless you already know of specific forums where you can mine for info. That’s the real value that Reddit brought to the table.

Does anyone enjoy intimate kissing scenes in movies?
I’m fine with them, except for this one

I've noticed that lemmy as a whole is much more leftist than reddit (outside of political servers of course)

The super rich are usually highly educated but they live in such a homogenous bubble that they’re opinions on the majority of society should be entirely discounted. They usually have a total lack of empathy for people and vote for politicians with the same attitude. I have met some super rich people who try very hard to go against the grain and not fall into that mindset, but something about the need for protecting your money and lifestyle usually promotes an untrustworthy and skeptical view of everyone in their lives including their own family.

Don’t most plants sense light and interact with their environment?
Tardigrades have been observed reacting defensively to danger, even offensively. I know they’re not plants, but do they feel pain? What about brine shrimp?
Jellyfish are super weird because they really blur the lines between plant/animal. It’s a really interesting question to ask honestly.

startrek.website is a partnership between /r/StarTrek and /r/DaystromInstitute from Reddit, they've both locked their subs over there for good. Follow [@startrek](https://startrek.website/c/startrek)
Make it so.
