How should I change my polite behavior to be more accommodating?
My parents raised me to always say "yes sir" and "no ma'am", and I automatically say it to service workers and just about anyone with whom I'm not close that I interact with. I noticed recently that I had misgendered a cashier when saying something like "no thank you, ma'am" based on their appearing AFAB, but on a future visit...
What did you get into as it was dying or otherwise on its way out?
I feel like I do this a lot with podcasts. I started watching the Gus and Eddy podcast and finished it about a month before the last episode was released for example....
If you could take a single character out of a piece of media (book, film, TV show, video game, etc) who would it be?
They would lose any magical powers they may have had in the book, but anything they are, rather than can do, will stay. For example people from the His Dark Materials world would keep their daemons. You can take them out at any time in the story's plot, but for all other people consuming the media, it will be shown that the...
A colleague sent a video of a murder at work today and I'm still seething. What rights do I have? (UK)
It's already well known at work that I don't just not like gore videos but that I hate them and actively avoid them....
Do you practice self care?
Hello. Let's talk about self-care. Who practices self-care regularly? I've been making an absolute effort to practice self-care, and it's definitely improving my mood. I floss, meditate, do qigong, breathwork, etc. Yes, flossing is self-care, take care of yo teefs. What does everyone do for self-care? Bonus question: Where else...

It's movie night. You don't know who's coming but you have to pick a movie everyone vibes with. What do you choose?

What's your method for determining quality reviews on a product?
I've officially concluded I'm at a loss for how to determine if a product is worth it's cost anymore....
Whose Patreon do you think is really worthwhile?
What's the most expensive thing you broke as a kid and what's the story behind it?
Mine was our CRT TV. I would rapidly push the power button on and off because I thought the picture coming and going looked cool but eventually it fell inside of the TV. I think I later stuck a magnet on the TV....
Signs you're getting old?
My knee still doesn't feel right after that hiking trip two weeks ago....

Is there a way to get recommendations for "underrated" songs, or music that is awesome but I might not come across? For instance, I really loved the Peacemaker soundtrack...
...but how would I have been exposed to that music without the show?...
There's no coming back from that ( lemmy.world )
How do you feel confident in the workplace?
I was a student for many years (5 years of undergrad, 2.5 years of grad school), and I became very comfortable with always being able to look at the syllabus and my grade and know what I needed to do and how well I was performing. Work isn’t like that. Like I think is normal, I get a performance review once a year. I find this...
