What's the point of having a delete account feature if you can log back into it immediately?

The idiot band seems to have arrived and getting more antagonizing and gaslighting users confronting me than those who are civil. It was a matter of time, too. People gotta come around to 'Reddit'-fy things and it's showing. I can tell in the attitudes that it's very distinct.

Talk about the karma system - people spitefully downvote you. You make an open minded question, people bastardize the context and twist it around. You bother replying to the antagonistic people, they play the victim card and spin even more of what you put infront of them.

So, great, wonderful. Another fucking platform that's contaminated by a select band of retards. They just can't fuck off and stick to their little shit pool, so they've got to gravitate over here.

I'm going to come to the conclusion that people are simply uneducated. Simply based on the responses I've already gotten.

Let me prop up a very common thing that people love to absolute hate - rich companies. Particularly, Wal-Mart. They say everything and anything to bash the company. While some of the things said is valid, like running small businesses out and maybe corporate doesn't have all of the answers and the Waltons are particularly greedy.

Yet when I decided to google Wal-Mart's operating expenses, we're talking hefty amounts to run all of the stores it has, plus it's operations overseas. It's still a lot and I felt a ting in the back of my mind that maybe there is a bit of a reasoning for why a company as big as Wal-Mart has to do things like cut down expenses or lower wages a little.

And people simply don't understand how that part of business works. They're not in the shoes of the people operating a big company and they don't understand how much and what it takes to run a giant franchise. They think it's as easy as being sat in a position and all of the money the company is withholding is all in some giant vault, that'd be withholding billions that they can distribute or something.

So is all of the hate that something like this gets a little exaggerated because people don't understand or is it justified?

I sometimes do and I did just a few minutes ago as I'm typing this. I decided 5 out of 7, whether or not I was going to go to a chinese buffet today. The coin decided 5-3, that I will. Then I wanted the coin to decide if I'm going thrifting today and with a landslide of 0-5, it didn't want me to.

And do you stick to those choices?

Yes, this had to be made because already I am a little disgruntled about how the main unpopularopinion community is ran and what content I've found on there. So I wanted to make a true version, the 'true' part being, that it's sought for more thoughtful opinions that are beyond 2 lines and actually are more fleshed out we'll say.

It is not meant to be a platform where bigots, racists, sexists can finally get their rocks off by being who they are. That's what plagued the TrueUnpopularOpinion over in Reddit, it is infested with alt-right people pretending to be sophisticated and their mods are pushovers. I'm not aiming for this community to be that.

I expect this to happen but debating on having one today, but Papa John's is having a limited thing on the menu that has lasted for two months now. It's the doritos papadias and I've already had one. It was good except for the person making it didn't put enough ranch spices on it, it was mostly on the crust parts which defeats the purpose of the whole papadia.

Anyways, it's set to end tomorrow and the advert had said it would be available on menus through 23rd, implying it'll be available through the day until the 24th.

But I expect it to be removed as soon as even today because some locations are assholes like that. Where they'd remove limited time things way before it's even over. So that when you get there, you're confronted with the speech that it's not available anymore because of them prematurely removing it.

Some places are cool to even allow limited time items even go beyond a little of the date.

One of the biggest overlooks when it comes to cooking dinners or any involved meal with multiple ingredients is accounting for the calories each ingredient will take. Let's say you're cooking pasta and you want to include the sauce, some seasonings, some things to mix with the pasta .etc

You're done but you won't know what each bowl of that finished pasta will be like per serving. That's why you have to take into account, all of the calories of the ingredients. That tablespoon of vegetable oil you use, that's 100 calories. The sauce you're gonna use, that's probably another 100. The pasta, 140 probably. It doesn't work as if the calories are going to vanish by the time you're finished cooking said meal. Each bowl you could have, could amount to over 500 at most, but you may not know it and it's easy to overlook.

That's why also, it looks like people pack on weight so easily when they're down to just dinner meals to eat. They pile up fast.

Lemmy allows you to edit titles in your posts. Reddit doesn't, for some obscure reason, allow this.

Lemmy's community or communities rather, don't yet feel like anything is as bad as what you'd expect from Reddit. You may know what I'm talking about but as a reminder, I'm talking about posts that don't quite seem as open minded. I call them small-talk, no-where kind of posts. The kind of posts that equals to a 4 line conversation with anyone in person, on the phone or even online. Never makes it past 'how are you' stages.

The nature of the beast though has yet to take effect because it's not strictly a Reddit thing, it's more of an internet thing, overall. I presume once Lemmy does reach triple digits in the thousands, we could expect to see some behavior that we don't like seeing. However...

Lemmy has a registration that can't be as abused as Reddit's is. I call Reddit's registration system, a machine gun for alts. Because of how stupid easy it is, to make an account. If you wanted to, you can stockpile a 100 Reddit accounts on just one e-mail while ignoring verification. And there isn't anything on Reddit that stops you from this either, just fill a few throwaway forms and boom, you're back on. Go to AskReddit, make a few empty comments, gain some karma or just bide your time a little until you resume your trolling antics again.

Easy to navigate, a nice little list of communities to hop to.

An engaging community, nothing feels too bait-y, things feel fairly contained. I don't feel as much as I did with reddit where anything I said that wasn't looking to instigate an argument, will be antagonized in any way. Reddit has a very spiteful hivemind as I'm sure we've all felt it by the DdoS attacks which is something Reddit users have been known to do in the past.

We need more places like Lemmy.

And that could very well mean that you won't ever get another shot with them again for quite a long time. So let's say there is someone you're crushing on and you've been hesitant on asking them out or feeling for them to work on something. But nothing comes of it for reasons.

Now, that person eventually goes off and gets swept away from another person. That's not just time you have to wait until they're let go from that. But, what if they're ruined from that relationship and swear to not date again? That hurts more than losing them in the first place and it's an unimaginable feeling. Bad enough that you've whiffed on any opportunity you could've had with that crush, yet now, you may never get a chance again.

So the next time you absolutely feel for someone and you'd like to have them. Take a chance and try. You may never know when you could be in this situation.

Quite a shame really, but not surprised. The moderators there are such a pushover, that they've catered to the Karens and the Kyles, where there are now posts that you know are from customers who don't care of employees. Just karma farming with their cheap pictures.

But oh, I've tried suggesting the moderators to make the subreddit private or find some way to verify as to whether or not someone actually works at Wal-Mart, but that went on deaf ears.

And god forbid some of us that complain about our jobs, are met with scrutiny and downvoted to oblivion because we went to a subreddit that's supposed to be FOR the employees and not the customers.

It deserves to die.
