If this was the expectation, then it should have been a checklist and/or had N/A available. I don't think your data for this section will be accurate since myself/others replying did not use it this way.

I used "disagree" as "I am using a non-self hosted service for this," the middle as "N/A" and the agree as "I am hosting a service for this"...

I'll post some of mine to start. My favorites are mostly fun/decorative.

Fun

I'm a sucker for anything dinosaur. The original Flexi Rex was one of my first prints! I absolutely adore the art style of AndreasJoskaSutanto's flexi dinos. My favorite is the Flexi Raptor Flexi Raptor

Most of the models are for paid members

Notable mention to this (free!) Flexi Dimetrodon by DirkvK that's excellent too!

Decorative

I've been trying to fill the empty spaces on my walls. I printed a bunch of butterflies and bent the wings using a candle. I love how they've turned out! I'll link to some of the ones I've found, in no specific order.

1 2 3 4

I've also been working on a bouquet of flowers, I'll see if I can take a picture of it later to post.

 

Share some of your favorites! It could be a fun discussion/way to discover new prints.

Example categories:

  • Functional vs Fun
  • Free vs Paid
  • Simple vs Complex

An image (or link if it's okay by the mods) would be appreciated too.

Correction: companies are implementing it into their search engines. Users are just providing feedback.

Ironically, Google's original non-LLM summary was pretty great. That's gone now.

 

I'm trying to rationlize a false memory(?) Apparently a group of cats is actually a Clowder. Nowhere else on the internet calls it a Whisper?

I swear I was taught this the same day I learned 'a school of fish' and 'a murder of crows.' I remembered it all these years because I'd always think 'whispuuurrrr' in my head.

Help me out of my denial. 😭

I think this overlooks how most MAGAs are rural.. and when you live rural you already rely on your neighbors. Most of which are also white and the exceptions are ""one of the good ones."" It's why they can demonize entire demographics and still feeling like a good person since they're good neighbors.

They're not going to stop blaming 'the others' for hardships.. They're just going increase complaints about 'the government' and how much they pay in taxes.

I grew up in Amish country/farmland and it's painful to see how stagnant my family has been over the years.

Same, that's why I really wish they spent more time revealing and unwinding the mystery of the gorge. It just felt like an afterthought.

Agreed. Honestly, the whole third act felt a bit rushed to me. They spent so much time setting up the characters relationships - not complaining - but then speed ran any of the mystery.

Has Jellyfin improved its subtitle fetching?It's been awhile since using Jellyfin. I stayed with Plex because downloading subtitles on the fly wasn't available in Jellyfin, and no extensions for it either.

I think we need to clarify things a bit here. "Clean hair" and "Shampoo'd hair" aren't the same things.

Everyone should clean their hair. Most people use shampoo for that, but it's not good for all hair types. Curly hair usually suffers with shampoo use.

JS has bid 26 times now without missing a beat. It's up to $2,345. That's insane.. and with 8 days left! Like bruhh what?? I refuse to believe they genuinely want to purchase it vs just driving up the price.

Everyone should agree with them but not everyone does.

What is it you think the "not agreeing" people want?

[–] TheBeesKnees@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 3 months ago

Yep.. the "best" candidate is not the same as being the most "talented." Maybe they're a bad fit because they're an asshole, or because they'd want a team structure that's incompatible with the current one.

It all adds to the complexity and subjectivity recruitment inheritly has.

[–] TheBeesKnees@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 3 months ago (5 children)

Look, everyone agrees the best candidate should be the one that's hired.

Unfortunately, there's no objective truth in how to rank candidates - minus anything obvious. Humans make the choices and humans are prone to bias. Consciously or not, people are going to favor candidates that meet the expected stereotypes for said positions.

There are plenty of studies out there documenting it. For example, resume response rates can vary drastically based solely on the name of the applicant. (The same resume sent to various companies with changes to the applicant's name. Masculine names, feminine names, "white" names, "black" names, etc).

It does bother me if people are hired because of the colour of their skin or because of their gender and not because they were the best candidate.

Statements like these are easy to cling onto and rally a false narrative. They're something ""everyone"" should agree on at a first glance. They miss the underlying issues and the driving force behind various movements.

 
 

I know it's been getting worse over time, but I could still find what I needed after some digging.

Recently it's been like 10 minutes of adjusting search terms, still getting completely useless or irrelevant results, and me just giving up afterwards. Other search engines seem just as bad.
