What is the benefit of closing Studios? Why not sell them?
Yes, this is in relation to the closing of Tango Gameworks and Arcane Austin. Is there some immediate monetary benefit behind it that I have no idea about? Is it so they can keep the IPs and not have to deal with the developers? Are the Studios too expensive for anyone to buy? I honestly don’t understand how these executives...
What's it called when an inventor's invention backfires on them?
Is there a name for this specific concept? Where somebody invents something (to do them good) but then that thing turns around and backfires on them?
What podcasts have you been listening to the most during the year?
I’m getting close to the bottom of my backlog on a few podcasts, so I’m looking to get something new in there....
What foods and drinks would you buy more often if money was not an issue?
When you get a call from a middle-aged male coworker who had tried to coerce you (younger female) into letting him drop you off at home on a Saturday night: do you call back, text, email, or ignore?
Please read post for full context; any help or input is appreciated! I disclosed sensitive info to a close female coworker (let’s say Ann), who is best friends with the male coworker mentioned (Ned). I’m sure she told him, but then they both seemed to want me to still tell him directly. I did because I believe in doing the...
My (20F) colleague (60sF) is a workplace bully, what do I do?
This is a job at a casual dining establishment. My colleague is driving me nuts but there seems to be no recourse for it. UK btw...
If somebody spends the whole day watching fox or religious propaganda, gets worked up and all he can think of is owning a liberal or converting an unbeliever, is this person a victim or just gullible?
Let me explain the question:...
Você participaria de uma comunidade de Filosofia aqui no Lemmy? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
Eu estive pensando em criar uma comunidade de Filosofia por aqui. Mas não sei se isso seria produtivo. Eu gostaria de saber se a Filosofia é um tópico de interesse no Lemmy. Qual a opinião sincera de vocês, participariam?
The last time you were misgendered and the last time you misgendered someone else, why?
Asking both questions here. Please don’t be too political here, it’s a timeless issue and that’s the angle I’m asking from....
What was made beautiful?
What did other people do in the past to make our world beautiful but which we do not notice now?...
With so many conspiracy theories, why isn't there one where Jeffrey Epstein lives?
I understand why there are the ones where he didn’t kill himself, but the cameras were destroyed, how come no one thought to think he just walked out? This has been bugging me since it happened....
Why are 80% of the elements metallic? I get that they ARE, but WHY?
Is there a FOSS make-your-own-dictionary app?
Sorry, might not be the right place, but I thought I’d ask....
What the unholy f is going on with this eBay post? (www.ebay.com)
Check all the pics, is it weird photo editing or some sort of scam?
Hey i just wanna know are raccoons evil in some kind of way ?
A lot of things i thought were cute and nice like dolphines, ducks, cats (i saw one cat eat anothers new born), dogs (multiple cases of eating dead owners due to a variety of reasons starting from trying to wake em up to other malicious reasons), hamsters etc turned out to be wrong . Raccoons are the only thing i believe in...
I have chronic sleeping problems therefore I love taking naps but waking up afterwards is absolute hell. What should I do?
I am currently struggling heavily with depression. Which impacts my quality of sleep. Sleep now has never been a talent of mine. So I generally make up for it by napping. I used to absolutely love it. Both the initial and the waking up (feeling well rested). But lately the waking up part is getting more and more difficult. It...
Are kintsugi kits all the same, or are some brands better than others?
I saw plenty of kintsugi kits available in my area (to those who do not know what kintsugi is, it is the art of fixing broken ceramic/pottery items using lacquer). However, I do not know if the quality is good for the price presented by these shops. Could anyone knowledgeable or experienced in kintsugi give some tips? I’d...
How come liberals dont hate conservatives the way conservatives hate liberals
I constantly see angry mobs of people decrying “woke”, “critical race theory”, ““grooming””, and whatever other nonsense they made up this week. They march around with guns, constantly appending lib as a prefix to any word they can use to denigrate. They actively plot violence and spew hatred in the open....

Where do I look when seated at a restaurant to seem normal?
(when seated in a group with others, i should clarify. if i’m by myself i’m absolutely happy to be on my phone or book)...
What do you think about this?
Someone told me that if you keep your gaze fixed and imagine a completely black circle right above someone’s head, what you are actually doing is telepathy… so far I haven’t researched more about it but I have noticed that some strange things happen when I do that, I see spirals and the vision looks different, could...
What's the funniest typo you've seen in a meme before?
What happens to those who are severely disabled while in prison?
For some reason began going down a rabbit hole thinking about this. Let’s say you are blind, and reliant on a guide dog, but end up in prison for a non-violent crime like possession of illegal drugs. Are you allowed to keep the dog? No, right? But if you are entirely reliant on the guide dog to perform daily tasks, how do you...
How does harddrive failure work when there's multiple partitions?
My laptop’s HDD is failing, it shows a bunch of signs such as slow file manipulation and clicking sounds. The Linux btrfs partition keeps going into read-only mode to prevent further damage, makes sense, but the windows partition is working fine (for now)....
