Also really depends on the frequency and reason. Did something go horribly wrong once and does this one-time effort fix it or gives enough time for a decent solution down the road? Sure, I’ll put in some extra work. Don’t look for me though when it’s resolved, I’m on holiday with all the overtime I should’ve gotten. If it’s a structural problem because management wants to squeeze as much money out of their employees and refuses to hire enough people… Fuck that. And yeah, corporate uses the first thing as an excuse, luring you into staying longer “one more time, we really can’t do it without you”.

Also, since when is Belgium two hours ahead of the UK? Are they drifting off towards the US?

Massive, won’t melt, won’t catch fire. Ceramic tiles would work just as well imho, though a tad lighter (which might actually be good, given the thickness of that shelf)

Not in the curriculum, though a sister of a classmate actually fell while running with scissors. Permanently blind in one eye, and a lozenge as pupil. Indeed not something you forget easily.

Shout out to Camelworks for deep, deep deep dives into tiny details on Skyrim too.

They’re absolutely amazing. And pretty common nowadays. If a store has baking tuns and a baked-goods section, they probably have silicon baking sheets. Just make sure you get the thin, non-stretchy kind.

Oh we definitely have racism. It’s just less “black lives matter” and more “only my skin colour matters”. And yeah, this definitely extends to the police too. But given they’re very, very scrutinised every time they dare pull their gun in public, at least we don’t have the “police raids wrong unit and shoots owner” happenings.

What is happening is still far from OK, any instance of racism is one too many, but the problems here are a bit more nuanced than what is in general shared on a public, overly-Americanized forum.

And in case you are American/Canadian/Australian, can I please point back to whatever is still happening to your native population? Not a single country is free from blame from what they did to other or their own nations. Call me butthurt, but I’m getting quite a bit tired of getting called out on the Congo on every single thread mentioning Belgium while that was mostly, originally one man’s doing. Again, nuance, I know more stuff happened afterwards, but it’s not relevant to this thread.

Silicon reusable sheet for almost similar cleaning, but eco-friendlier flex.

I renovated a house from the ‘70s last year. We now have triple glazing instead of single panes, the roof and side of the house are inslutated, we got solar panels, water-saving showers, a greener water heater (would’ve loved to move away from gas, but my budget only stretches so far and the asbestos roof will have to be replaced in a couple of years), and soon the driveway will have its’ non-porous gravel replaced with pavers designed to let water through.

Global warming won’t be fixed by that, but if we all start making greener choices when we can I have hopes we can avert the worst.

Optional extra point to add on to #5: if the community that needs to replace a subreddit isn’t here yet, MAKE IT. And advertise it, so it can get popular. Be the change you want to see!

I think so, never used huitante before, but then I’m Flemish, not Walloon.

So does Walloon French.

I don’t speak Spanish at all, but I really wish more languages would adapt it. It’s so much easier to interpret a sentence knowing it’s meant to be a question or exclamation right from the start.

No. That’s not how this works. You don’t get to put every non-vegetarian at the same level as these fuckers.

I eat meat, but I want the animals up until the moment of slaughter to live a good, stressfree life. And the slaughter itself to be immediate and painless. Not to have their fingers chopped off or them being tortured with screwdrivers, hammers and pliers.

It’s not in effect yet, starting september. Now I know absolutely nothing about US law, but can’t OSHA itself fight this?

Just type out lemmy, it isn’t blocked if you sneak it in replies. I’ve been doing it for over a week and gotten replied to as well, so no shadowban here yet.

Good. Ship the thing off to a museum, slap a label on it and use it to educate people. Lest we forget.

Fuck cancel culture.

I’m more seeing it as tiny villages in the same country. Sometimes there’s a duplicate Starbucks over in the other village, but they might have a different daily special. And some villages have beef with eachother, and then you gotta sneak out if you still want to secretly visit your beloved in the other village. Or move over to your summer house in village #3, where you can both meet up without issues.

My comment just got downvoted, but it’s still there (and has reactions of other migratees to lemmy, so not invisible).
