Who decided that’s how downvoting should be used? There is no official rulebook (especially on the fediverse), and etiquette is decided as a group, but there isn’t clear consensus on this.

The technical function of the downvote is to push the comment down far enough that people won’t see it. And so people will continue to use it as a way to communicate that they do not approve of the comment. And telling people to stop downvoting comments they don’t like is trying to enforce a rule they never agreed to.

Obamacare requires employers to pay for healthcare if you work more than 25 hours (of course, some businesses like McDonald’s have an exemption, anyway). Anon is claiming his employer is intentionally cutting hours to avoid healthcare costs. I have no idea whether it’s actually very common or not.

When I lived in England, I felt like I was going to freeze if it got colder than 17°C, usually had the heat set to 19°C. During the summer, probably around 22-24°C.

I now live in Phoenix, AZ, and set it at about 65°F in winter and 74°F in summer.

I always remove the stick once I’ve eaten down to the stick. So for me, at least half the corn dog is always eaten with my hands.

I get your point is to have a neutral 3rd party help oversee the elections, but having the UN do it would be one of the fastest ways to spark a civil war. A lot of Trump supporters very much believe the UN is one of the key players trying to bring the new world order.

For actually displaying dates to others, I agree that spelling out the month is absolutely preferred. But if space is limited, you’re somewhat required to pick a very shortened format, and the US version is dumb, even if that’s what you should use when displaying in that locale.

But for working with dates on computers, year-month-day works great, because it’s still human readable, is naturally sortable, and makes it easier for serialization.

The first one is conventionally never year-day-month, and if anyone ever sent me a date of 2023-17-08, I would respond with, “What the hell?! Are you being evil on purpose?”

I have no control of my emotions when watching movies. Aladdin setting the genie free? 😭😭😭😭

Ha ha ha.

There, proof that we are amused.

I thought you were just kidding, but then I read his post history.

Reading the article, it sounds like the mistake was because of the address, I couldn’t find enough information in the article to know if the mistaken house was in poor condition. Were you expecting the actual demolition crew to question the work order?

Yes, but the glass is immediately noticable from anywhere in the bathroom. I don’t have to walk up to each door to see the latch position.

I upvoted him anyway, because it was just so perfect.

Umm …

I would love this!

I hate going into a bathroom and needing to softly push/pull on each door lightly enough to avoid letting someone who may be sitting on the other side know I’m checking whether the stall is occupied.

Edit: I know many stalls have the green/red slider, but those are often hard to read, and I can immediately see which stalls are empty with the glass ones, without needing to walk up close enough to read the dial.

“Meh, it’s the default, I can’t be bothered to change it.”

I’m trying not to attract Trump here.
