The overall health of a workforce affects health insurance rates and every employee. The more unhealthy a workforce is, the more money comes out of your check for insurance. This is why wellness programs exist at companies.

Honestly not what I expected but I’m interested.

This dude thinks he’s a Vulcan lol

Best appliance I ever sprung for.

If you have an Apple chip Mac Voyager can be used on desktop.

My dude, you wooshed so hard.

Appreciate the comment. I agree voting in theory is a good idea but I think a majority of people use it as not intended and it’s creating a net negative experience for the social media that utilizes it. Too many people use downvoting to show dissatisfaction with an opinion instead of the intended this doesn’t add to the conversation. Dog piling is a major issue IMO, psychologically many see negative votes (or many downvotes) and are inclined to treat those comments or posts with more derogatory comments or oppose the commenter before even reading the full post or comment. That’s a very real general example of functionality that’s shutting down engagement and being contradictory to the intent of the social media system being used. For a specific example, browse all with the new filter on lemmy and look at how many posts get downvoted right out of the gate that are perfectly legitimate posts for the communities they’re posting in. The moving good content to the top of your feed intention of upvotes doesn’t really work well in the fediverse without algo based feeds and the top filter could easily switch to views and comments to get the desired results without all the downside of how it is now.

If this were a minor issue I wouldn’t be commenting and would support the standard just ignore votes spiel but it seems to be that most people cannot handle the current voting system so I still see no benefit to them in their current form. The fediverse is the perfect environment to iterate and innovate on a system that doesn’t work as intended.

I think upvoting and downvoting should be removed in its current form. There should be a way to report content that doesn’t contribute to conversations or is hateful and if you want to know how popular a post is go off of alternate engagement metrics like views/comment count.

I genuinely see no benefit to upvoting or downvoting if the above mechanisms are in place. Upvotes are something many folks get obsessed with and downvotes are too easy to spam, especially on a social network that consists of mostly anonymous users. This post is a good example - it’s adding to the conversation and trying to spur engagement with the community but at the time of me commenting it has -1 upvotes (via Voyager since it aggregates downvotes/upvotes). What is the point of these mechanisms - they should be left to Reddit and the fediverse should innovate in this area and make something better than what we already had.

I don’t disagree on anime/children’s content or even Star Wars to an extent but since this is a Pokémon show with no actual Pokémon I think it falls under the corporate commercial category more than anything else.

That’s fine, still feels icky to me personally to watch movies glorifying real life corporations. Not really my idea of entertainment.

Check out BlackBerry.com, that brand name recognition definitely isn’t going to waste. They just serve the enterprise sector now.

BlackBerry still exists and is a pretty big publicly traded company, they just don’t do phones anymore.

Lotta beating around the bush in the comments. After you finish the books, then watch the series. There are so many little changes to scenes and characters between the two it will be hard to keep them straight if you consume both at the same time. The major stuff is the same and the spirit of the books is definitely honored in the show but from an enjoyment perspective I’d suggest keeping them separate.

Feels like another entry in the “full length, live action commercials” series. Joining Tetris, BlackBerry, Barbie, Jobs, GI Joe, Social Network, Transformers, and even Star Wars since licensing and derivative products make more money than their actual tv and movie content.

I really dislike this trend, even if some of the movies are sometimes good. Feels icky and insincere.

Seems interesting.

This looks awesome.

Sam the cooking guy is around 3.5M and I think he’s pretty underappreciated too.

That’s the most straw man argument I’ve seen in a while.

Maybe take a step back and think about how using nazi analogies when discussing meat eaters is counterproductive to your beliefs and frigging offensive to large swaths of the global population who were affected by nazis. Those two things are not comparable and you need to do some self education if you think that’s okay or persuasive.

You’re doing the thing that creates the opposite world you wanna live in again.

Some people really think being a good example of the product of their beliefs and being obnoxiously obtuse and argumentative about their beliefs are equally effective at persuading others to think like them.

I can tell you no person ever in humanity was convinced by the latter.
