I’m in this no-experience-to-apprenticeship program and everyone in my class thinks type coercion is the greatest thing ever.

Think of your closest friend or family member. Do you “believe in” them?

It’s very rare that you find anyone on Lemmy/Reddit that actually takes more than eight seconds to critically think about the significance of “religion,” and not just immediately monkey brain into “religion is for idiots.” Alas, I hoped that this particular group think would’ve stayed behind.

A belief is not a religion, and a religion is not a belief. Any one person can be varying degrees of “religious,” and any one person can hold varying levels of belief in a higher power.

I don’t have much else to add because your comment was pretty well thought-out.

“Misuse of the Oxford comma, bad speling and taking jokes too far.”

Ah, but you thought about it for more than a quarter of a second. That’s not allowed.

The elephant and rope parable rings its bell of sound morals!

Not so much the realizing what NaN means; that’s more relevant to that XKCD which I probably don’t need to describe here.

Pointing at physical characteristics? Not as amazing.

Worse? Or better?

I understood it.

No, I mean I say the entire thing to myself. “Bless me, thank me, I’m welcome.”

Middle school me started doing it and I’ve put in no effort to stop.

Ever since middle school, my “bless you” interaction has always been:

• “Bless you.”
• Them: “Thank you.”
• “You’re welcome.”

And whenever I sneeze, it’s “bless me, thank me, I’m welcome.”

Thank you for attending my TEDtalk.

It says it right there. He’s 4+ years old.

Interesting. I mean, if it’s practical for the usage of your computer, then I would say it counts. What kind of information do you have displayed for your server? Just metadata, or logs?

Edit: posted before I could see your edit. But yeah, definitely checks out. I think I would get so distracted by that, but at most I really only need to be paying close attention to changes in three places at a time, at which point I’ve got to do some window-focus-fu with PowerToys. Cool answer!

Oh, neat! Yeah, I think I’ve seriously talked myself into getting a small third monitor. Using it for communication apps is a good idea, and I can definitely see having that when I’m just relaxing, or if I’m collaborating. Thanks for your response!

You aren’t alone. I stopped posting to Reddit in the protest and haven’t posted/voted since, but old threads are just too useful to completely block it out.

The thing is, though, my Reddit usage from Google Search hasn’t replaced what used to be my time browsing Reddit. I now exclusively use it for informational old threads via Google Search.

If before API terms changes I spent 7 hours a week on Reddit, and let’s say 5% of that was needing Google search results from Reddit specifically and the other 95% of usage was scrolling through my Reddit front page; I am not now spending 7 hours on Reddit via Google search. I’m now only using that 5% of 7 hours/week = 21 minutes/week on Reddit, and maybe even less considering my newfound aversion to the website.

And I suspect that most of the people who stopped using Reddit after the changes—whether by lapse or by principle—are not gonna come crawling back to it if Reddit chooses to sever that tenuous metaphoric link.
