Hab schon mal eine von Italienern geführte Pizzeria besucht, die hatten in ihrer regulären Karte (also nix Extrawunsch) eine Pizza mit Fleischwurst und Pommes.

You can enter whatever custom amount you want. Just select the 1 USD tier and you'll have the chance to change that amount on the way.

I'm not on your instance and I don't know the link but I 100% agree to your sentiment. I think if we want Lemmy to grow and instances to flourish, we have to also federate the financial burden of hosting it. The admins already spend a lot of their free time on maintenance and content moderation, so those who can afford it should at least throw in some small donations. :)

I don't know this person but I don't understand the hate here. If you have something painful in your mouth, then obviously that lowers the joy of eating. Depending on the intensity, every bite hurts. Still, if you're having this condition for several days, weeks or even months, you can't just stop eating during that entire period. And you can still distinguish between nice food and crappy junk. Although everything hurts to eat, dinner at a fancy restaurant may still taste better and may provide a more spectacular experience than your regular everyday food at home.

Gerade in Restaurants kann ich mir das kaum vorstellen, da ich da ja erst ganz am Ende zahle und auch erst ganz am Ende entscheide, ob ich bar oder mit Karte zahlen will/kann. Ausnahme wäre vielleicht wenn am Eingang ein großes Schild "nur Barzahlung" hängt und ich weiß, dass ich nur noch x€ dabei habe. Dann muss ich natürlich stärker darauf achten, diesen Betrag nicht zu überschreiten...

Ich hätte vom Gefühl eher die umgekehrte Kausalität erwartet. Also statt "wenn ich im Restaurant mit Karte zahle, lasse ich mehr Geld dort" eher "wenn ich mehr Geld im Restaurant lasse, zahle ich mit Karte", weil ich entweder nicht genug Geld dabei habe oder nicht alles aus der Hand geben und direkt wieder zum Geldautomat rennen möchte.

I heard these furry suits are crazy expensive. Really kind of him that he's working so hard to make her dream become true.

I installed 14 Philips Hue White & Color LEDs in 2016 and so far not a single one of them broke. They were quite expensive back then (around 40€ per bulb) but I'm still quite happy with the overall quality. Not sure if they are still as durable but nowadays they are way cheaper, so maybe that's an option for you as well.

Und mit Stufenfilmen sind dann diese "Hilfe Stiefbruder, ich stecke im Trockner fest"-Filme gemeint?

Thank you very much for your amazing work and all the time you spend on the migration and the regular admin stuff. Highly appreciated what you're doing there for us and the fediverse! :)

Might taste just fine but looking at it, that's not a form of presentation I'd consider as 'food porn'.

Was it meant to isolate the bottles so the drink remains chill for an extended period? Never saw something like that.

On all pictures that I find, these airless tires have open sides. Wouldn't that accumulate huge amounts of snow, dirt etc. over time? And if a small rock gets trapped between the rubber, that's probably also not ideal for the longevity of the tire?

If you pay janitors the same as engineers then no one will bother going to school to study engineering.

I think that's debatable. Personally, I went to university and had a great time there. Apart from learning, that phase of my life had lots of events, parties and spending time with friends. I always saw it as a priviledge that I had the opportunity to gather so much knowledge. Especially as school and university are paid for by the state where I live.

At the same age a janitor, someone in room service or cleaning dishes was already in the middle of their job. And while I today have a job where I get paid for solving interesting problems sitting at a comfortable desk in an airconditioned office or even at home, those other pals are still cleaning hotel rooms, dishes or scrape off bubble gum from the tables.

Personally, I think the job itself is more than sufficient of an incentive to justify higher-level education for people. That's at least my take as long as the state pays for your education like in my country.

But independent from that I'm very aware that your standpoint on this is way more popular than mine. Also had similar debates with other people in my privileged situation and they are all eager that they deserve better than a random uneducated person because they did so much hard work at university. I find that pretty ironic, because I know some of these people from university and they barely learned for the assignments and the only hard work they did was drinking at a bar or club every other night having the time of their life.

And because it can't be really measured at all for many jobs. What's the economic value created by someone in customer support? What's the value created by a janitor? A dish washer?

Most jobs are not directly generating revenue out of nothing. Only the company as a whole does and it cannot be mathematically calculated who generates what share. In communism, you'd probably argue that everyone is equally important and thus earnings should be distributed linearly.

But if you tell people that everyone should make the same no matter if it's room keeping or an engineer, they mostly get upset. Because they derserve better than those dumb, lazy fuckers who didn't even go to school blahblahblah. They rather fight those below their own socioeconomic status and dream of their breakthrough and becoming a millionaire themselves. People are often egoistic unfortunately.

Yeah, especially that dirt effect in the corner looks pretty weird to me for a human-made painting.

And takes well-informed (buying) decisions with a high focus on quality.

Stimmrechte? Menschen, die etwas besitzen? Puh, das sind doch irdische Konstrukte.

Der Himmel ist die ultimative Endausbaustufe des Kapitalismus und Gott ist der alleinige Anteilseigner an allem und jedem mit uneingeschränkter Entscheidungsgewalt. Die Hölle ist genauso, nur wärmer.

The sea in New Mexico is all dried up because of of all the wildfires caused by fireworks from rich guys' yachts.

I use Mull on Android and so far I'm satisfied with it.

In case you get it tattoed, also put the entire conversation next to it. Would be funny at least for a few years. Then, probably no one will remember what a ChatGPT is.
