Same energy:

I’m imagining it so hard right now 🤤

Hibernation does sound appealing sometimes.

I firmly believe food and drink shouldn’t be restricted to a specific time of year or day. At the moment I am a fan of brownies and rice pudding with cinnamon. Oh, and bougatsa. I should try making it.

Hah, I think seeing these kind of memes on Lemmy is permeating into my sense of humor. And that this pressure that some Americans place on themselves to work on holiday is in part self-inflicted. Part of them are afraid of the repercussions for not meeting the unfair standard set by the rest who see working excessive hours as something to be proud of and a measure of how hard they work.

According to hundreds of open-text responses, many consumers view the name debate as unnecessary or just “symbolic politics.” The majority prefer to see a focus on more urgent societal issues.

The reasoning behind the ban is supposedly to prevent consumers from accidentally purchasing plant-based products instead of meat ones…but plant-based products are often sold in their own sections and have distinctive packaging. Having “burger” or “sausage” in the name suggests what the product is intending to replace, which is helpful to people looking for alternatives to these products, especially if they have recently switched to a plant-based diet.

Overall, what a non-issue.

Butt mogged these infants today

Just got a horrifying mental image of corporate mandated showers with waterproof notepads to boost employee productivity.

I had my doubts, so I looked up the etymology of the word fake. The most common origins were something along the lines of:

A likely source is feague “to spruce up by artificial means,” from Ger. fegen “polish, sweep,” also “to clear out, plunder” in colloquial use. “Much of our early thieves’ slang is Ger. or Du., and dates from the Thirty Years’ War” [Weekley]. Or it may be from L. facere “to do.” Link

Feaguing does have a second meaning which is described in the post, but I couldn’t find mentions of that meaning linked to the word fake. But the practice of feaguing has apparently evolved from horses to humans as an act known as figging…I’ll leave to look that one up on your own (or not).

Generally I prefer to work alone and in-office, with the option to socialize and collaborate if it’s desired. The answer is heavily dependent on the type of work involved and the ability of the group to cooperate and complete their respective portions correctly and on time. I seldom use AI at work or personally and only for results that I can quickly verify for accuracy on my own.

On a rare occasion I leave reviews on a seller’s page on a local online marketplace as part of a trust system. I don’t use a Google account or anything else that requires my name to be connected to a review. Since I mostly buy directly from manufacturers, I will sometimes leave a star rating if there is an option. I would consider leaving a more detailed review if a product or service was exceptionally good or to warn about a potential hazard.

That’s how you end up with the nightmare that seemed really real…or with the next conversation that ends up on Grindr’s Greatest Hits compilation.

Good management is supposed to protect you from pointless meetings. Unfortunately some meetings only seem to exist so that management can say they have done something.
