We had to do the same thing with our last dog. The cone freaked him out too much. He would stand still afraid to move shaking in fear, and he never was able to adjust. Pants and even long sleeve shirts for the front legs were non issues for him.
Wonder why he was perturbed enough to make a complaint, seems petty.
Dude looks like a character from a zany fish-out-of-water comedy.
5.5% for 1 year GIC at EQ right now.
Predictions? Will this be an actual decision or decision-lite again?
Dude! They’re called pull UPS not pull downs! Use the rippable sides to get them off!
(Also took me awhile to figure that out)
I feel this comment! Makes me feel better about the state of things. Entropy, entropy everywhere.
Any service where you viewing ads is the actual product is the same. YouTube reliably will serve me up recommended videos with titles like “dumb lib-slammed!” or “pwning liberals at the library” or other random things. I never watch them and am confused why they keep sending them my way. The stuff being foisted on people is just toxic.
I think gender reveal parties are generally dumb. But this is like a very special kind of dumb.
Played it casually in spits and spurts. Never got that far, but enjoyed it. Very good game.
Fundimentally, as long as people get enough content to last their commute/poop/lunch break without crawling back to reddit for additional memes, Lemmy will be in a good position to make it.
But I agree with you, discussions about reddit don’t make for good content for everyone in a sustainable way. Those discussions I’d wager appeal most to the true believers who left on principle, not the average user.
I deleted twitter ages ago but never jumped to Mastadon because the initial descriptions seemed overly technical and confusing. Like people went out of their way to describe how it was different and unique, making it sound difficult. It was only after the Reddit debacle and trying out Lemmy did I realize it was basically the same thing to an average user. I could get my content drip without specialized knowledge. That makes me consider trying out Mastadon.
I think most people don’t care how they get their memes, just that they get them. That should be the focus, and learning about federated systems is a byproduct.
Enforcement is hard and expensive. I’d bet it’s a question of weighing the cost-benefit of pouring resources into enforcement vs letting them peter-out and diminish over time.
I like your approach. The right thing to do now now may be different than the right thing to do later, gotta just be pragmatic depending on the state of the community and the state of the infrastructure behind it. I think the desire for unlimited and fast growth at all costs is a trap people often fall into.
Would love it if my police force didn’t pick a side in sectarian violence. Is that too much to ask?
