Realistic scenario: half the workers show up in person just to log into a video conference anyway because the other half is remote.

Ya, but it proves I lived through the 90’s 😆

Waaazzzaaaap

But you just negated your initial argument by using Apple as an example…?

I visited California a few times, and LA is not a great tourist destination imo. But other parts of California is beautiful

Gentle turbulence actually helps, believe it or not.

Except for the millions of Windows users…

Yeah it’s the reason, back on Reddit, that I’m able to see posts from smaller subreddits show up near the top of my feed because it’s popular relative to the number of subscribers of that subreddit.

I might be in the minority, but shitpost memes like “I’ll draw a shitty picture every day until x happens” or “I’ll do this based on Y upvotes”, and the “here’s a random hotdog/Gatorade bottle everyday”. I know I can probably just block these kinds of posts, I just never got the appeal of it.

Yea, I eventually just resorted to playing the offline modes. It’s much more fun than the rat race that is myteam

It’s probably the closest thing to reddit right now (even down to the shitposting memes unfortunately) but I wouldn’t say it has the same feel quite yet. I still find the distributed nature confusing (am I in the lemmy.world’s technology community, or lemmy.ml’s? How do I get to beehaws instance?) and navigating between instances is a chore. I realize though that situation is very fluid and if users can get over the hump and start investing into their communities and lemmy as a technology it can get better.

Also I rely on mobile apps to navigate the majority of the time. There are some decent ones out there now, like Connect for Android. But it definitely is still buggy, and is not as fluid as my experience with Relay for reddit. But again, nothing that can’t be fixed.

Some of my favorite subreddits still hasn’t shown up yet as communities in any of the major lemmy instances, and I honestly feel it’s going to take a very long time for that to happen for some of the more niche ones. The user base I honestly believe will never reach even close to reddit’s numbers.

So in a nutshell, good promise, closest thing to reddit, but still has a long way to go.

NBA 2K games. Terrible loot system that never gives you good stuff until it enters endgame near the end of the year. Then they turn off the servers a few months later and force you to buy next year’s game that has the same graphics and a slightly tweaked playing mechanics.

But I honestly personally spent quite literally hundreds of hours on that series. Mainly cause I’m a huge NBA fan and I love building out custom teams and there’s not much competition in realistic basketball simulators at the moment.

It’s just annoying how everything has to follow the “meta” and if you do dare to try something else and you don’t perform above expectations you’ll get shit on. I just want to play the game the way I enjoy it sometimes.

One other thing polls didn’t really capture was voter enthusiasm or maybe not enough people was paying attention to it. Just because you answered Hilary when asked who would you vote for, it didn’t mean you went out on Election day to vote. A combination of lack of enthusiasm for Hilary, coupled with news constantly reporting that it will be a landslide kept many Democrat voters home.

I believe that’s why there’s such a huge push for “get out the vote” campaigns in 2020 by the Democrats. Generally, the more people voting means better chances for a Democrat win, given general (non-electoral) election results.
