kakes , to Ask Lemmy in What do you think of birdwatchers and birdwatching ?

I'm at the age now where I'm thinking about getting into it.

kakes , to Technology in Firefox Browser Blocks Anti-Censorship Add-Ons at Russia’s Request

God I'm getting sick of that word.

kakes , to Business in Best Buy is laying off more employees as it reckons with falling sales

I'm not entirely sure. Any time I go there is just full of huge groups of employees just hanging out chatting with eachother, then they swarm you as soon as they see a customer walked in.

My best guess is that because the demographics in this city skew way older, they need a lot of staff to help a lot of non-tech-savvy customers? That, or the owner isn't very concerned about spending money on staffing for whatever reason.

Honestly, while it does make me uncomfortable to go there, I'm overall in favor of it because it means more local jobs, which is always (well, almost always) a good thing. Like, it seems like a really chill job that pays above minimum wage, so I say those employees should milk it for all it's worth, haha.

Idk about elsewhere, but dear lord, the BestBuy near me has so many employees it's hard to fit into the store. Literally every 2 steps a different employee asks if I need help, it's actually insane.

kakes , to Asklemmy in You have 15$. How would you spend it so that you'll be the happiest you can be for 15$ ?

Wtf its been a year?? What a wild ride!

kakes , to AI in LLM ASICs on USB sticks?

Never really occurred to me before how huge a 10x savings would be in terms of parameters on consumer hardware.

Like, obviously 10x is a lot, but with the way things are going, it wouldn't surprise me to see that kind of leap in the next year or two tbh.

kakes , to Asklemmy in You have 15$. How would you spend it so that you'll be the happiest you can be for 15$ ?

Aha, so I was right, you will give it to someone. >=3

kakes , to Asklemmy in You have 15$. How would you spend it so that you'll be the happiest you can be for 15$ ?

What for?

kakes , to Asklemmy in You have 15$. How would you spend it so that you'll be the happiest you can be for 15$ ?

Give it to someone that needs it.

kakes , to Ask Lemmy in Have you got any weird questions for the opposite gender?

Agreed. I was never a "math kid", so when I got to university, I was very surprised that a large part of what I learned in my math courses was actually philosophy.

That shift in paradigm instantly made me interested in math, weirdly enough. Turns out I love math, I'm just not a fan of numbers, haha.

kakes , to Steam Deck in Microsoft Gaming CEO: “I think we should have a handheld, too”

You absolutely aren't wrong there.

Always in favour of healthy competition.

kakes , to Microblog Memes in Leaky bags

Important distinction: Get a bin for your house - no sane educated person wants flour to be sold in disposable plastic bins.

(I'm sure you agree, but it bares mentioning in case there are ever any business folk reading this.)

kakes , to Microblog Memes in Those were the days

Yeesh that seems a bit harsh...

You might want to use some of that self-reflection to examine why you feel that way about someone when you don't know what kind of life they've had.

kakes , to Microblog Memes in Those were the days

I had a shitty childhood, was miserable in my teens, was possibly even more miserable through my 20s. When I was 16 I told myself if I was still as miserable by 30 I would consider ending it there.

Fortunately around 30, after my low point of the pandemic, is where things started to actually fall into place for me - both in terms of external factors and, slowly, internal monologue.

While I still have a lot of mental holdovers from all that time spent in a depressed state, I would generally say I'm sustainably "happy" these days. Something I genuinely thought I would never reach.

To anyone in a bad place right now, just know that if you stick it out, life actually can be surprisingly worthwhile.
