I wear toe socks exclusively for this reason.

Congratulations 👏

Ah, pardon my misunderstanding. I thought the two paragraphs weren’t related.

My wife calls these her “high games”:

• Donut county
• Katamari
• Unpacking
• Luna’s fishing garden

Mine:

• Goat Simulator
• Gorillaz Geep flash game (I could play this for hours and there is no goal, just feels like driving in GTA without consequence)
• Starstruck Vagabond

Used to be you could make a Lemmy comment explaining how something doesn’t meet your values without some guy going 'round the thread saying, “kids these days, all so sensitive! Whatever happened to not being offended!” When did this happen? I swear it was recently.

Trending posts is not a recommendation algorithm, in my opinion. I think the slope stops at curation (interests-based algorithms targeted at specific users).

I.e. reddit homepage is now curated, Lemmy sorting methods are not.

I was making a subtle multiple votes joke, glad you caught on :)

Depending on the comfort level of your spouse, asking them to use their account would be best.

One of the forms of trust in Marketplace is how long the person’s Facebook account has existed, how many friends they have, and whether there are photos. If you create a burner account with no photo, no connections, and “Joined Facebook in 2024”, you’ll have a rough start.

I have had people show up who don’t match the account and they say it’s their partner or whatnot, never phased me.

If you do decide to make an account, push people to rate your interactions after you make a successful purchase. After 3 messages are sent back and forth, you get an option to rate the seller and buyer. Just tell them you rated them well and would like a rating as you are new to Marketplace.

I do hate Facebook for what it is, but even here in Canada where Kijiji was once king, Marketplace has taken over. I care about the used market (and the positive effects on the environment) too much to pass it up.

He’s probably the guy at my work who replies all to tell people not to reply all.

Horrible headline.

It’s cute. Paper airplane vibes.

I started my engineering program at University not knowing what engineering was.

Thank goodness for that orientation session.
