Brand awareness gets you subconsciously

There’s a lot of micro-aggressions and straight up aggressions in this post, but honestly your comment strikes the biggest nerve for me. It genuinely shows that a portion of the world don’t consciously see women as business owners

Same boat. I’m yet to find a good response to that. On one hand, I want to be like “haha yea”, but on the other hand, I want to be modest and not comment on it… Which is just like an awkward silence.

So I tend to dress “well”. I’m not great at fashion, but I shave every morning, force myself to spend a bit of money on nice tshirts, etc.

On the weekends though, I let it all go. I go out to the store in my PJs, I don’t shave, I wear my hat and hoodie up, and to be honest look a bit like a thug. I notice people on the street are a little less comfortable walking by, however…

One thing that stood out insanely was the grocery store. When I dress like a homeless person, it is night and day difference:

• Cashier keeps the checkout stuff closer to them
• While my card transaction is pending, if I start loading stuff in my bag they’re like “oh, oh wait… It’s still pending”
• Even when I start the small-talk (“How is your day going?”), responses are short

When I dress well:

• Cashier doesn’t mind when I start loading my backpack even before paying
• Cashiers always smile and ask how my day is

I was planning on writing a blog post about it (plug to !dginovker_blog@lemmy.ml), but wanted to get more data points first

Holy crap, I didn’t believe you until I read this.

I hope future Google searches for Tavleen Tarrant and Suzanne Gamboa show this comment. Those journalists are disgusting scum of human beings. I would be ashamed to work at the same company as them.

These numbers seem grossly inflated. How was the study conducted?

Edit:

However, on average 67% of those polled in the Blind survey said they were likely to join a union and 73% said that unions “mostly helped.”

Eh that’s reasonable. Blind (the app) is pretty good, alibet toxic

I love going to the office. I started renting a place nearby to do just that.

But I don’t want my coworkers to be forced to show up. That’s silly.

Wartime means taxes from citizens. Private companies offer to help the government for said taxes to help fuel the war machine

Honestly, Louis has been giving pedo vibes past couple months. Maybe it was the sunglasses, maybe it was one too many incel comments, but it’s a bit harder to watch him now

The guy is playing a war game. He’s looking at a map where Germany has conquered Europe. There is not one comment on this post that suggests Nazism. It is a far stretch to say this is lemmy.world is driving conversations around Nazism

That would make the air… less clean now?

Edit: looks like PM2.5 and PM10 levels were 10-100x more around a hundred years ago. Seems like air quality is in fact better now.

Elaborate?

We’re from the same instance so we should be seeing the same stuff. Yet I’m not seeing any Nazism.

Pine64s “problem” was they only ever did the hardware. Like they sponsor some software, but they make and sell hardware. They gained a lot of popularity from the Pinephone, but very little changed internally at Pine64. They’re still the same they always were

Not really tbh. The earth is well past the halfway point until we look like Mars: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_the_far_future

We should put some factories there!

All I can think of is the time I had to give up Windows 10 because no matter what I tried, webpages would always take a few seconds to load on first connect. Like if I went to banana.com for the first time, it would take 3-4 seconds. If I went back a week later, it would be instant. But the same computer worked fine on Linux.

Basically my point is, yes your situation is crappy and you can go to Windows. But bugs like these for whatever arcane reason happen on MacOS and Windows too.
