I find how they try to make you feel like a winner every visit there as laughably bad. Always hitting the right spaces on the spin the wheel? Always getting sales? Always this and that with Temu. Okay then…
I wouldn’t ever buy anything big from Temu at any cost. They’re great for stickers, enamel pins and just general, casual level items. If you’re willing to wait however long it takes to get them to you, obviously from where they’re sourced.
Nyticus@kbin.melroy.orgto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•If you could get the powers/skills of any book/game/movie/etc villain, which would be most useful?2·23 days agoProbably Metron, from the New Gods in DC Comics. Just, being able to know everything and anything with a thirst of knowledge. I’d be able to solve all of the unsolved mysteries in seconds, I’d be able to foresee so much ahead to determine what the right choices to make are. I’d be a supreme advisor and uncontested in the wars of strategy. Plus I’d get all the abilities of a god too on top of it so add that.
Nyticus@kbin.melroy.orgto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's the worst "corporate speak/buzzwords" that you absolutely hate?22·24 days agoThe whole “we’re a family” motto. I never understood why this is a thing and why it should be a thing. There is no job that I’ve ever been comfortable getting that attached to.

Nyticus@kbin.melroy.orgto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•how to get unbanned from communities?33·25 days agoHow about look at your modlog history and maybe, um, not do anymore of those things?
Just a thought. Otherwise, deal with it.
That’s the real reason.
I mean, money can improve so many things. But when you have a bunch of investors and shareholders that have stupid fucking ideas in how to tank things if it means they get out squeaky clean with money, they’ll take it.
Nyticus@kbin.melroy.orgto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•New to lemmy. Is there a version of /r/changemyview?2·27 days agoAnd thus, failed on being the Reddit replacement it long aspired to be. Because that kind of behavior is what has already long infected Reddit and corroded it into the way it is today.
I guess in Lemmy’s credit, mind as well do it while it is fairly young.
If a social media platform cannot ever accept the possibility and probability of opinions that work against the majority, you’re effectively building a hivemind regardless of intention.
Nyticus@kbin.melroy.orgto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why do we tolerate it that Luigi Mangione is being held in prison? We know its absolutely the least safe place he can be.104·27 days agoI think they’re going to try and find a way to kill him to send a strong example as to what happens to people in his place.
But then I hope it does happen because it’ll only make him a martyr.

Nyticus@kbin.melroy.orgto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•My dearest Lemmy, what is the appliance you have the most beef with?35·28 days agoIf it needs an app or internet connectivity - it can go fuck itself.
We’ve gone nearly a century of appliances that didn’t need this shit. Apps or the Internet itself will not and never will, make things easier to do tasks than they already were easier to do before.
Nyticus@kbin.melroy.orgto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•My dearest Lemmy, what is the appliance you have the most beef with?3·28 days agoTechnology Connections has shown me that air fryers are just a glorified toaster oven. They don’t do really anything better, so just stick to a toaster oven.

Nyticus@kbin.melroy.orgto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Anyone else notice a lack of Cinco de Mayo celebration this year?111·28 days agoYou jump to conclusions, just like the idiot that you really are. What a life you must live. Living by such a black and white narrative. “Durrhhhh…I’m incapable of thinking outside of the box, hue hue” Fucking idiot.
Nyticus@kbin.melroy.orgto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Anyone else notice a lack of Cinco de Mayo celebration this year?412·28 days agoI think a lot of people in general are kind of busy worrying about other shit than getting all wrapped up in celebratory practices/traditions. kthx
Nyticus@kbin.melroy.orgto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•I need relationship advice. Bf (ex) doesn't want to date because lack of trust he has for me13·29 days agoYou’re technically asking a “How do I?” by rewording it as an advice question. Also, learn to format your post. Christ. Nobody comes here to A) read blobs of text that poorly formatted and B) Relationship drama.
Nyticus@kbin.melroy.orgto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•If someone is described as "good at something", in your opinion how good is that person at this activity?2·29 days agoIf someone ever claims to be good at something, I would want to see a demonstration that examples their expertise. Because it is hard to take people at their word sometimes, so a demo is required.
Nyticus@kbin.melroy.orgto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What’s a thing you miss that you’re 90% sure was objectively awful?2·1 month agoThere’s a split opinion on when exactly the internet peaked at. You’ll have some people say 2007, others will say 2009 and then there’s those who’ll even say mid-2000s like 2005. My personal opinion is that I think it peaked at 2007. Social Media was fairly at its infancy with Reddit, YouTube, Facebook, MySpace all a few years old each by that point. Cell phone technology was still primarily 3G. The Messenger Era was at its peak but was also starting to steadily go downhill.
2009 was actually when the internet started to corrode and it began with Facebook acquiring FriendFeed and that cracked open the idea that corporations could take control of the open web, which they eventually try and do as the years followed.
