My dog is a borador, with a short double layer coat. In the summer we’d have the air conditioning on and even then she wasn’t much of a snuggler because she’d overheat. Now with the colder temperatures setting in I keep a blanket and/or a sweater on me at all times. She can’t even snuggle for 5 minutes without needing to...
It depends on what variant you get. Older strains could become symptomatic up to a week later, newer strains as little as 1-2 days. It’s nearly impossible for the average person to know what strain they have and the older ones are still floating around.
At my last interview, I was already making 10k more than their ceiling. I just said “my current salary is x, I’m not looking for a pay raise but could you match it?”. They did! I think it was a one two punch of showing off my worth with having a high salary but also being humble by not asking for more. It also helps to approach it as a matter of fact yes or no question and not as a negotiation.
My work sends out fake phishing emails and the people who click them get in trouble. Of course, they always come from one particular address that I blocked.
I wish they’d do more realistic emails though. “You won a prize you didn’t apply for!” is pretty basic. If it was one of those fake invoice PDFs I always get on my personal, I’d totally let a trojan onto the work network.
I tried reading Mort, but it’s very… dense. While I do enjoy the occasional book with flowery, descriptive language, I got a quarter of the way through it and no real plot happened.
Ugh, I used to follow a wildlife channel. The head of their YouTube had a kid, and then every other video was her repeating “can you say jackal?” over and over and OVER. I’m here for wildlife videos, not to watch your kid ignore the camera getting shoved in their face. But everyone was super positive towards the first kid video and she thought it was encouragement. For shame.
Being a teenage girl in the 50s must have been awful. I’ve also seen a lot of ads from that era for girls that are too skinny and need to gain weight. The acceptable “pretty” range must’ve been really small.
Accounting is a goddamn mess. There’s lots of mistakes in accounting, finance, banking, etc but we’re supposed to act to outsiders like they never happen. Publicly traded companies (US) get audited every year, but no audit company would give a paying customer a failing grade. New grads are funneled into working for public firms - the 10 or so companies that cater to the world’s audit, tax, and consulting needs. They’re supposed to teach discipline, but in reality they only teach you security theater. You’re worked to the bone until you either burn out or agree to perpetuate the system to keep your job.
And the only reason it continues to work is society’s social contract agreeing that it has to work because we don’t have any other options. All it takes is the rumors that the idea is failing - like in the silicon valley bank run - and we’re all out of luck. With the speed of information these days all it takes is a few minutes for a situation to spiral out of control. It’s bonkers.
I got into accounting because I enjoyed bookkeeping in high school. Now that I’m in it I refuse to work for anything larger than a mid sized, non public company.
Aslan didn’t allow the oldest girl into “heaven” with the other kids in the last book because she… checks notes… wore makeup and liked boys. C S Lewis got reeeal puritanical towards the end of that series.
After this “fun” little catastrophe of a thread concerning the use of the word “female”, looking at the comment section, it’s painfully obvious that the majority of Lemmy’s userbase are men. That’s not a generalization, that’s a literal fact....
“Female” as a noun is typically used by incel communities to refer to a woman as an object, not a person. In this context, it is either used to identify women as a sex object or to imply that her emotions/needs/feelings don’t matter because she’s not human. Coded language in English is called a dog whistle, meaning it’s a secret way for someone to say how they really feel when an idea isn’t socially acceptable.
For as long as I can remember, I’ve had the worst periods out of everyone I know. They’re straight up debilitating and by the time I finally recover from one, the next one starts.

I am my gfs first partner, she is my second. The girl I dated prior (for 6 months) was a vlogger and for like 3 months made a lotta relationship and prank videos wth me which I was fine with at the time. Now my current gf is my first ever real crush and Ive been into her for a decade....
These giant images you keep using contribute nothing and make it harder to read a thread. Kinda funny that you’re the one posting “shit advice award” and “blocked” when the only thing you’re contributing is a bad attitude.
main character is a strong, independent, brilliant woman. She isn’t abrasive or obnoxious, just confident in who she is. Her success in the story is entirely from her own efforts.
love interest is a well rounded character, not an Everyman stand in. His own strengths and weaknesses are plot relevant and he grows independently of the mc.
the romance progresses at a steady pace and isn’t a will they/won’t they for two seasons.
romance is one of many plot lines, not the only one. It’s also slice of life and medieval politics.
and of course, everyone’s adults. Everyone has normal body proportions and healthy personalities.
Wait, THAT was the issue? (I thought it was another program that got sold, and the new owner bundled it with malware or something.) Is there something wrong with MuseGroup? I’ve been using MuseScore for ages.
I have an iPad 1. I barely used it when it was given to me and then it more or less sat unused apart from the occasional booting to see if it still works every few years....
I don’t think jailbreaking would allow you to upgrade your operating system, but you could download/install apps yourself instead of using the app store. That would allow you to use older apps that meet your system specs.
Jailbreaking allows full access, so you can sideload and there’s an alternate app store called Cydia. Sometimes jailbreaking instructions will include installing it, or you may need to install it separately. You’ll also need legacy iTunes. I haven’t worked on anything quite that old but there are some YouTube tutorials still floating around.
You’re running an old operating system that’s missing modern security updates.
Any app you install or website you visit has easier access to your root files, as opposed to the “sandbox” approach for a non jailbroken device.
I wouldn’t recommend doing anything that requires your banking or personal info. This device should get its own apple account and if you need to pay for something, use a gift card. Only use jailbroken apps from trusted sources - after all this time, most sources that are malicious for older app versions should be easily identifiable with a little research. There is also iSecureOS which can check if you downloaded something bad or have a third party connected to your device.
The internet itself isn’t a risk, it’s what you do with it. Don’t use your device for general web browsing, don’t use the device outside of your home, don’t use the internet after the device is set up, and use iSecureOS regularly to check the health of your device. As long as it is set up correctly and you’re only using the iPad for one specific project, it should be fine.
If you have questions about how to jailbreak or where you can safely find apps, I’d recommend checking out www.reddit.com/r/jailbreak/
Would anyone be interested in a comic book community? It seems like the other comic communities are being camped on by “mods” with empty accounts. I’m not sure if @literature.cafe would allow a majorily image based group.

Lemmings who know where/when they contracted COVID, how long after your exposure did you become symptomatic?
Still haven’t had it, but had a close contact a few days ago, so I’m just curious.

What is a well known 'public secret' in the industry you work in that the majority of outsiders are unaware of?
how often do you encounter doublespeak?
Perhaps this is a cultural thing, but doublespeak seems to be prevalent even in casual conversation
