Blizzard really sleeping at the wheel this past decade, they probably should have invested into talent and another IP instead of pleasing their shareholders when Activision was associated with them.
Sucks what business does to moniize creative process/art.
There have been quite a few comments and posts arguing about political memes and whether they belong here. I’m not exactly in any position of authority, but hopefully I can do something about this....
How about 1 and 2, and get rid of this one? It’ll force all to move and hopefully provide more interaction to their respective preference.
Chaotic, I know, but I for one try my best to avoid political arguments and topics. I bet some of you now enjoy how much it bothers me, an internet stranger not wanting a reminder of how much governments suck everywhere, but still wants to view memes here.
I downvote whenever I see them, but it seems like there are more, or a loud few (maybe both), for every one of my downvotes. It’s not just here, it seems like this on /all too. To be more specific, it seems there are more trolls constantly watching and quicker on the keyboard for anything remotely political. It sucks that we need moderation in any capacity to enforce no politics on ‘no politics’ spaces…
Yeah, I’m so fucking sick of the ‘oH bUt YoU bAsIcAlLy DiD iT tOo!’. Get off your fucking high horse, you’re more part of the problem than the meme itself.
So this is a rather niche question so I hope it is still relevant to this group, but I was thinking. The big package transport companies(in the US this is UPS and FedEx) make most of their air cargo money on overnight packages, where the business model is pretty straightforward. Have packages fly between a small number of hubs...
Not an expert as well, but I’ll share my experience. Used to work for a company that contracted with multiple shipping companies mainly for large palletized freight shipments (FedEx, R&L), but not all of them (UPS, other local freight). We had a business contract with FedEx so our shipping rate for both parcel and freight was ~50-60% cheaper than their standard rate if you were to try to schedule/ship something yourself as an individual, but we still used UPS time to time if a client needed it overnight and the FedEx truck already made it’s stop for the day. For example, FedEx website would quote ~$1400 to pickup and ship a pallet shipment standard from your residential address (this would include lift-gate truck service), whereas it would cost our company $450 because they have a regular freight truck that stops by our company twice a day. Of course we ship out much higher volume, so that’s where FedEx would set their discount pricing to ensure they profit in the end over a long duration.
If a pallet needed to go somewhere overnight, that price can easily double or quadruple depending if it was domestic or overseas, but nothing much changes from my end other than changing the shipping label type.
With our FedEx contract, we also had a regional manager contact for support if issues occurred with the shipment that had much quicker response time than going through their standard support routes.
I saw a Lemmy user give ‘benefit of the doubt’ responses for seemingly curt comments, and then original commenter thanks them instead of feeling attacked. Bizarre to me. I feel like that happened on Reddit more often at some point, even for most non-specific communities, but I haven’t seen it since.
I’m so glad the userbase for memes picked up so I don’t need to see so many projecting posts in 196. I have no issues with gender or sexual orientation, but it certainly gets my eyeballs rolling if it’s every OTHER post that feels needed to be on here.

What's your favorite platform for buying shows and movies digitally? (kbin.projectsegfau.lt)
My favorite platform is iTunes, because it lets you download the files for offline viewing, and removing the DRM is trivially simple.
