IMongoose@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What do movies always get wrong about your job/hobby?4·2 months agoHave you watched The Expanse? I’ve seen some physicists talk it up for realism. At least as real as a show like that can be.
IMongoose@lemmy.worldto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Kids nowadays don't have many (if any) videogame heroes...1·2 months agoMinecraft isn’t exactly new though, and he’s barely even a character let alone a hero.
IMongoose@lemmy.worldto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Kids nowadays don't have many (if any) videogame heroes...3·2 months agoHalo 1’s release (2001) is closer to the first appearance of Mario (1981) than present day (2025). I would definitely call it a legacy IP.
IMongoose@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's something people use the internet for that can be done just as easily offline?1·2 months agoI don’t have windows in my office :(
IMongoose@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Which animals, besides cats or dogs, would you give a ride to or intentionally let in your home with barely a second thought?5·2 months agoI’m a falconer so I’ve let many raptors into my home and vehicle. Birds have very sensitive lungs so I do give a lot of thought to air quality in those spaces though. No idling cars or near them for a length of time, no candles, no teflon, that kind of stuff.
IMongoose@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is one moral you have that most people don't agree with?3·3 months agoParent 1, Parent 2, Mr Rogers, Miss Rachel, and Blaze from Blaze and the Monster Machines.
IMongoose@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are some lesser known (so no Walmart, Nestle, Amazon etc) shitty, ethically bankrupt, evil companies?8·3 months agoThe owner is a doctor, but they went to evil medical school. I’ve heard his firing practices are pretty harsh too, just drops people with no warning.
IMongoose@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are some lesser known (so no Walmart, Nestle, Amazon etc) shitty, ethically bankrupt, evil companies?139·3 months agoI understand the viewpoint, but the alternative is that disabled people get hired way less or not at all. A real solution would be to reduce our dependence on capitalism or something, but that’s not likely.
IMongoose@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are your thoughts on paternity leave?3·4 months agoI had 8 weeks fully paid through use of accrued PTO. 8 weeks is about the minimum of paternity leave necessary to kind of get your life back into order imo. This isn’t a vacation, it’s taking full care of a little person that needs help every 2-3 hours. If both you and your partner work it would be impossible without leave just due to sleep depravation. Our first kid was (is still 4 years later) a terrible sleeper and the first few months were hell. Luckily our second is actually a better sleeper than the first right now and she’s only 8 months old lol.
But yes, 12 weeks paternity is not a vacation, it is work. Plan for 12 weeks and if you think that you have everything sorted then great, go back. But daycare might be more than what you would make going back to full pay so just consider that too.
IMongoose@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What hyped thing did you fall for that you now regret and have to live with?32·4 months agoI basically bought my first (only) house for 0 money down with first time homebuyers stuff. Ya I had to pay mortgage insurance for a while but my mortgage payment is less than what it would be to rent the same house by like, a lot.
IMongoose@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Does it feel weird to anyone else watching American Streamers in this political climate?464·4 months agoI wouldn’t want my streamer to talk about current politics. I’m there to escape that talk. It’s the same reason I’m not subscribed to any political communities, if I want that news I’ll go to all.
IMongoose@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Does Lemmy have an ghost community problem?2·4 months agoI run a whole ghost server. Not on this account, but it’s a hobby one without too much news and I don’t want to just post my own stuff all the time.
IMongoose@lemmy.worldto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•You could probably say the revolution has already started and things are so tense people will believe it's true and run out and start the revloution.5·5 months agoLiterally a tactic that Russia was / is using to destabilize the US. Remotely organize an event and hope people show.
Why are snacks shared but meals are not?
IMongoose@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What successful or popular movie that many loved you just HATE?0·6 months agoThe movie literally tells you what it is doing at the start when Neo talks to that CEO person. “We’re making this with or without you.” I didn’t really like it either until it turned into a heist movie halfway through and I got it. She was just taking the piss. It’s not a FU to the fans but to Warner Brothers.
Bro, I had just reinstalled windows and I moved my backup folder straight to my desktop, then left. I get an alert like two hours later saying my onedrive is full. What? Go back and the copy failed. I can excuse it automatically backing stuff up because people don’t understand anything, but to cancel my local transfer is insane. I was livid. OneDrive is cancer.
