Ratman
  • So what does he want to be called? Just a rat? But - there are actual rats, which are already called rats. Unless those don't exist in this universe, "ratman" seems like a pretty reasonable term. He has both rat and humanoid features.

  • Definitely! Though I would say avoiding purposeful harm to their ego should be more than a nice gesture. That's just basic respect. Trying to avoid accidental harm, sure.

  • You already kinda said it—this is a problem with the relationship with your boss, not with the book.

    With my boss, I can just say, "Honestly, this one was a miss for me. I appreciate the recommendation, and I wanted to give it a chance, but I didn't find much actionable substance in it. What did you get out of it?"

    If you don't feel like you can do that, have a conversation with him about how he likes to receive feedback. If the answer is "he doesn't," it might be time to go boss shopping. But I doubt that will be the case.

  • You fucking donkey, did you read their comment before you replied to it? They aren't doing it just because they want to; there are legal implications.

    why are companies trying so hard to have employees back in the office?
  • I wonder this same thing about my company. The only rational theory I've heard - which is completely unconfirmed - is that they aren't willing to sell the building because it's still needed for the IT team and a few other purposes, but need a certain occupancy level to not be penalized on their taxes.

    If you could plant a single thought in the minds of everyone on Earth simultaneously, what thought would you choose to share?
  • "MothBookkeeper is the dictator of the world, and I completely trust his decisions."

    Nevermind the logistics of that; power lives where people believe it does.

    Then I could make multiple beneficial changes, such as:

    • Heavily taxing the rich
    • Enacting drastic climate policy
    • Banning paper stickers that rip as you try to take them off
    • Sending Mitch McConnell on a rocket into the sun

    To the new users

    Welcome to Lemmy! Here's a simple guide for those migrating.

    Lemmy is pretty much Reddit, with one major difference—it has instances. Imagine you could take all of Reddit's backend server code, copy and paste it, and host your own version of Reddit. Cool! Now you're an admin of Reddit 2. If the CEO of Reddit 1 ever does something mind-numbingly stupid, you and your users will be unaffected*. Reddit 1 and Reddit 2 are akin to Lemmy instances. Each instance has their own users and communities (subreddits).

    Lemmy instances all work with each other*. Think of it like email. If I'm a Gmail user, I can still email Yahoo addresses, because Gmail, Yahoo, and all other email providers use a shared set of rules. All Lemmy instances also follow a shared set of rules (called a protocol, not that you need to know that). That means you can post to other instances, subscribe to their communities, upvote, downvote, and do all the things you can do on your instance.

    The Lemmy app you use has a lot of control over how this is all laid out, so if you're finding it confusing, try different apps. As a former RIF user, I personally like Liftoff, which you can get in the Play Store, but other popular options are Jerboa, Thunder, Connect for Lemmy, wefwef, and Summit.

    There's plenty more to say, but that should be enough to get started. Feel free to post questions in the comments! I may not know the answers to all of them, but I imagine others will.

    *Oversimplification.

    All the content, none of the Spez? Or, is it better if Lemmy stays distinct?
