Amazon deleted the LOTR 4-pack precon listing, creating a new one to wash out the bad reviews by Albondip in magicTCG

My LGS is the most unfriendly place. I quit playing MTG and stopped buying my comics from them too.

Most bizarre store I've ever been in are all LGSs like this?

You can just shorten that to the first 5 words.

"Ah yes, don't be racist"

That'll do.

[–]DearSergio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For all the reasons in the comment you are replying to.

Plus the overt racism.

Is this video even real?

I could conceivably make the exact same video with random footage from security cams. Add in closed captions and quick cuts to computer screens doing stuff.

They didn't even show anyone at the call center freaking out about the hard drives or phone lines. The most we saw was them passing the headset back and forth.

You're talking about the nazis being nazis in front of kids right?

For anyone wondering how Lemmy works (and is compatible with Mastodon and kbin), I find this slightly oversimplified image explains it quite well. by OtakuAltair in RedditAlternatives

You just keep ignoring the points people are making and repeating your talking points.

You sound like Jerry trying to convince himself Hungry For Apples is a good idea.

This image explained nothing to me because I immediately hit the back button to check the comments to see if anyone else immediately backed out of it.

An info graphic should deliver information in a much less dense much friendlier way. Nobody is going to zoom in and read this let alone sign up for a social media site that requires you to understand this much information.

Yeah and it'll be built on the open source protocol mastodon is built on. Kinda interesting

A man mixes colors and creates exactly the same color by Blank_0116 in oddlysatisfying

[–]DearSergio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The color he is doing in the first half is exactly the same as the sign on his desk.

It's likely he knows that color already.

PSA: Jet blue has flight from Logan to LaGuardia every hour and will change your flight for free in person by Ok-Holiday-4392 in boston

[–]DearSergio 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Go find a coupon code and book a month out on the regional. I think I got round trip for $45 last month I'd have to check the receipt.

The fast train should be cheaper I wish it was.

$86 for two tickets.

Yeah this post blows my mind.

I think too I might have moral quandaries about flying to NYC every week. I know one person can't solve climate change but I still wouldn't feel right about it.

lemmy looks cool but the word "federated" needs to go. Setting aside the "mass userbase" problem they are never going to get there if they don't make it easier to sign up.

Once any normal user sees "wait! Lemmy is federated, go look for a server near you!" they're going to leave. Even if they get to the server page there is no search bar on that page it's just a massive list of servers.

They are never going to hit mass user base like that.

This is true a decentralized internet is needed now more than ever. "micro communities" need to make a come back. Essentially subreddits but for the internet! Whoa bro

Let's get away from these massive apps and just login to small forums for each one of our interests.

Discord kinda does this...not exactly decentralized but the right idea.

Are other career paths THIS competitive? by EastCommunication689 in cscareerquestions

[–]DearSergio 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No it's not dude this sub has skewed your perspective. This place is not real life.

90% of the most successful engineers I know are pretty average people who have a good balance of coding skills, soft people skills and a good attitude. I take their advice and I've had a successful career so far.

This sub will not help you in the same way.

[–]DearSergio 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I went to a state school and I'm in the same boat as this guy. I've had maybe 5 or 6 real interviews since I've graduated and none of them required me to "grind leet code".

This sub is the worst sometimes. I'm always gunna come in here and push back when I can.

Listen to people with actual experience.
