fizzle

Satisfying homogenised mammalian excretion.

It only takes me a few minutes to drive home from my office. Its good to just take a breath

You’re game.

I’m glad the regulator is at least taking an interest.

Sadly this is just how large corporations work in 2026. Say what you will about booking dot com, but all of these middle man companies are the same.

Like if you’re an uber driver or door dasher or airbnb host, the company is always gushing with platitudes about how you’re a valued partner, until something goes wrong. At that point there’s no one to talk to and you very quickly discover that they hold all the cards. As in: if you build a business “partnered” with a much larger corporation, you are entirely at their mercy in any kind of dispute.

They will not seek a balanced, fair, or reasonable outcome because they know that you don’t have any choice but to accept what they offer.

People always say this about LO.

I have a small finance consultancy, and we’re a LO shop all day every day.

Its fine.

Its almost always that they’ve been following specific workflows or processes for the last n years and find that particular workflow isn’t directly supported in LO.

Pathetic.

I did wonder if this is a translation thing. Like maybe not automated translation but the author.

I just enable canvas on sites that need it.

Thats the only part of RFP that I find problematic.

Yeah I don’t get it either.

Is it saying pushed up boobs dont just happen?

I dont think that this is really the problem uber is solving here.

I dont think women passengers or drivers are being physically assaulted during an uber ride, they just feel uncomfortable with men. Maybe its flirting, maybe its a fertive glance, maybe its nothing. It doesn’t really matter whether male drivers have ever done anything to deserve being avoided, the point is that women want to avoid them.

Im a guy. I feel a bit awkward about this, as if someone had said to me “I dont want to interact with you because you might rape me”. Its not a nice feeling but its a misconception of what’s really happening.

Ultimately in any specific instance where a woman chooses not to interact with a man, I absolutely believe its her right to do so. However, I do hope that society doesn’t reach a point where women in general make that choice as a matter of routine.

Yeah, at the time no one really thought those pictures were her, but it strengthens the harassment narrative. Whoever was doing it was a fkn creep.

No positive irrefutable evidence, but the most credible explanation.

I often find shitposts to be way beyond poor taste but apparently its ok if its “just a joke”.

I just wrote up the story here:

Im struggling to remember the details if im honest.

Initially it was new accounts spamming Nicole photo and links to a matrix channel. However, there was no “Nicole” to talk to, just vague directions to find her at her work.

After a while someone started a community about Nicole posts and there were a few threads kinda collating theories on what was going on.

I forget the details exactly but IIRC someone postulated that is was a creepy stalker trying to prompt people to go find her IRL. On realising that the /c/Nicoled community was fueling creepy wierdo’s game, the mods locked some posts or something.

Thats when shit got real, and the same spam accounts started DMing gore stuff, but no confirmation of whether it was “nicole”.

That was it really. Nothing further.

At the very least, it certainly wasn’t Nicole DMing her own photo to everyone.

The consensus in the end was that Nicole was a victim of harassment.

I’m pretty confident

confidently incorrect.

You could disabuse yourself with a quick search.

Don’t bother.

There’s like 4 of these idiots on lemmy that parrot these both-sides memes.

One of them posted in nostupidquestions last week asking how americans can be the ones paying tariffs because they’ve never been charged a tariff.

You can’t unscramble an egg. Just block them and move on.

What about short term crisis avoidance?
