Really? I didn’t know that?! Super cool and thx for commenting! Do you have any more info on this (something I can read somewhere)?

Also… I don’t know if I ever will have an opportunity like this again… I would love a feature like I had in RIF (Reddit is Fun), and that is to be able to collapse all child comments in the comment section! It removes a lot of clutter and you can then expand the child comments when you want more on that topic. I use Jebora for lemmy for reference.

Very true. Lemme is reddit… Or how reddit was when it was good. They liked reddit then for the same reason I did and why I don’t use it and why we are here.

It’s more about people most people don’t know who are here unless you tell them rather than you’re data being secure. A different feeling then when posting with your real name and with all of you irl friends following you

1. hey - PlexSheep - wrong phraseing maybe from me. I don’t want to play semantics with how Anonymous is it is… But yeah, it is not 💯 anonymous so that is clearly too strong.

On here I have no friends, no connections, and my irl name is not attached to my account. So closer to anonymous than for example Facebook. It’s harder for just any user to track down things about specific users.

2. lemmy is nich but not advanced nor hard to use. I like it because it’s super simple. The point has nothing to do with Germans being able to use lemmy, but rather they did not start off using other programs or apps (z.B. MySpace Facebook) in the 90s and early 2000s as soon as other people like Americans. When these apps started they were great and had no negative feelings to them. When Germans came around to start using them in larger numbers, they already had negative issues. So they never started with these apps like others did in other countries. This is likely very different for you, as you are much younger. All of this stuff existed already when you were coming into adulthood.

3. sounds like you have a great friends group. I also have many experiences with German people who speak English very well… As well as many who can’t. I have both English and German only speaking friends. I spoke nearly zero german when I came here. It’s hard. Cashier at rewe, anyone working at Bauhaus, nearly anyone in the small town I was first in. Some cities aren’t much better. Some of my employees speak zero functional English and they are young. There is nothing wrong with that, but there is a big difference in Germany and somewhere like Holland.

To try and answer the question of why so many of them. Please note this is broad generalizations:

1. german people have large privacy and date security fears. This has kept them off of many other platforms. Most people in my friends circle never had a MySpace / Facebook… Being in an anonymous space like here is nice.

2. they also are and have been technologically behind in many ways. Bringing them slower to other platforms that they would have started off on, making it so they didn’t use any. Ignorance and fear of technology and privacy fear combined with being technologically slower meant they were going on other platforms in a time when the platforms were getting known as “bad, mentally harmful, data mining & selling machines”.

3. English language skills are lower in Germany (outside of Berlin). Many tourists don’t see this as they go to touristy things (hotels, attractions) where they speak English. It is easy in platforms like this or reddit to be in a German speaking bubble. People who speak lots of English like their neighbors the Dutch, would more likely just post in English as everyone can then understand it.

Any thoughts on TLDR (Youtube channel)?

It’s a bit of a preference thing. I like most of my fruit, papaya included, so ripe as possible. Like some people would say it’s not good anymore. Ideally also picked ripe from tree/bush. Others like it crunchy, even peaches or nectarines. Yuck.

But when a papaya is green and hard, it is great to shred and make into an Asian style salad. So it depends on you and what you want to do with it.

So the question is back to you OP, when is a papaya ready to eat?

Ha.

wouldn’t it be funny if I sold doors, door-to-door.

Key Account Management

I’m far from a Profi in the field but I have looked into it before. There are companies that will do it either in home or take it to them, but often it is expensive. There are many home repair kits available, but the paint on / fingernail polish kinds work poorly. The sand the whole tub down and put a new layer on are better… But the cost and work typically don’t justify it. If they are just top surface damages, you could try a higher polish sand job on the tub and see.

So it looks like ya got a couple of issues here. As the peeps mentioned, acid - weather in vinegar (preferably stonger like 30%+ if available) or chemicals to take off the lime deposits is a first start. Second it looks like the top layer(s) of the enamel are damaged and or cracked which is why you are struggling with it “coming back and not completely going away”. There are fixes for this, but replacement is usually recommended if this is the case.

All child comments, the entire post. It makes finding things easier then going into the replys if I want to. Usually child comments are less helpful.

I use Jebora and am happy, is there something important I’m missing? I was a Reddit is Fun user before and I like both because of how simple and basic they are. I hated the official reddit app for the reasons above.

Edit: the one thing I don’t like is you can’t, or I don’t know how, to collapse all child comments.

Hey, yeah I assumed. Just looking for a chuckle.

What did you do OP… Just tell your SO that your best friend installed tinder on your phone as a joke…

You can DM the picture to me if you like.

Or do both?

Tipping is of course a major issue not just in the US, but in many other countries as well. There are a lot of good books written over the years on the subject. One was written by a career waitress that is worth reading and how it leads to the acceptance of sexual abuse of the waitresses.

It’s fun to think about changing it and everyone just stopping it. If this is an important issue to you try and change it. If no one fights for what is right and progress things will only get worse.

My dude… Says who? You? It’s not hard to Google - you find lists of them when you do.
