You know what? I never even thought about that. I agree 100%. That’s gonna be a tall order for companies, though. I mean, different people probably have different requirements to be comfortable.

Honestly, a much much higher salary. There are lots of things I’m going to have to deal with if I were to go back to the office; namely heavy traffic, transportation expenses, added stress, clothes (I mean, I’d have to use office-appropriate clothes whereas nowadays I have to be presentable only when I have meetings), food, waking up and preparing earlier than usual (sometimes up to 3 hours earlier!) and getting home late which gives me less free time, etc.

They’re going to have to offer a really lucrative salary for me to even consider returning to the office.

Make a guess. Lol.

Dude was forced to buy Twitter because he couldn’t stop his big mouth. Seems he hasn’t learned. Lmao.

Ann Wilson (Heart) always makes me smile when I watch her live performances.

I’d think cocaine would be a better choice for an FPS, tbh.

As someone who almost drowned as a child, swimming is up there for me.

Same. I’ve seen only a few, but thankfully no one’s been a douche to me (yet? Pls don’t start lol). I’d imagine there are tons I haven’t seen yet. When people moved from reddit, it wasn’t exclusively just the good parts that came over. In my experience, though, it’s a lot less than in reddit.

Idk if you’re being serious, but “forums” is also accepted and isn’t wrong.

I wish everyone is like you. I don’t wear masks outdoors anymore, but I still do in places like malls where there are tons of strangers. They can get pretty uncomfortable, but if it helps me avoid covid, the flu, or even colds then I’m all for it.

I know a lot of doctors who are overweight/obese, have unhealthy lifestyles, and/or make dumb personal decisions. I go to doctors for their expertise in their fields; that doesn’t mean I’d trust their personal decisions.

Headphones. I do have speakers but they’re mostly for my record player, although I have them hooked up to my pc as well. Earphones, not so much. Not comfortable for me.

When I purchase somethung, I prefer to own it instead of just renting it. Lol.

Well said. If you want to mean all the things connected to ActivityPub, you say Fediverse. If it’s restricted to lemmy, use lemmy. Absolutely nothing wrong with that. OP saying it borders on ignorance may have to think about it.

I use lemmy. I don’t really care for nor use other Fediverse services like Mastodon.

8-10 unskippable ads before a video? Holy shit. That’s ludicrous.

Not always. There are the defederated instances, for example. Sometimes things break like lemmy.ml and people are having issues subscribing to communities (it’s apparently just a visual bug, but still). There have been tons of questions about the Fediverse from people who just got here. Kbin, for example, was not federating properly for a while before and we on lemmy could not see any posts on it. That can matter if a specific community is on an instance not accessible to a user for one reason or another.

Edit: I’m not criticizing the Fediverse, but it still has issues to be addressed. It’s pretty young relative to big social media sites like FB, reddit, etc so growing pains are to be expected. But we do need to acknowledge the issues if we hope to fix them later on.

Tbf, I think that underlines what he was saying. He has no idea where he is, or that he is already participating kbin.

Compare that to reddit, and it’s more complicated.
