Ultimately, it probably doesn’t matter. Your wife may have a point, but it is completely negated by the fact she’s introducing contaminants from her hand to the food. Using a clean item to remove the excess may be beneficial, especially if the liquid drying can make it hard to open. Again, all of this is splitting hairs if your food is generally stored correctly and nobody is at particular risk for food borne illness. You’re at home, not serving others in a restaurant.

I didn’t care, I was just answering the question. To be quite literal, what you eat don’t make me shit.

My ex did this because she didn’t like getting her hands dirty. If we were at a food truck or something without utensils, she’d eat them with her hands without complaint, it was just her preference.

Lol, get a life guy.

Where was I angry? I was adding to the conversation and you decided to be a whiny asshole with your sad attempt at belittling me (kid, really?). You’re quite pathetic, bud.

I’m a millennial and have been called a “doomer” because I realize it’s essentially too late. I know people don’t like to think that, but the reality is that nothing of any significance has or is being done to curb global warming. You couple that with the fact we’ve literally poisoned everything, including ourselves, with no way to clean it up and I don’t see the quality of life for humans being great after 2050. You can blow me off as a shill if you’d like, but this is just reality. Additionally, my generation and gen z have a significant number of fascists and the pollution continues, so I don’t think that’s the solution you’re hoping for. I’d love to be wrong, but that isn’t backed by the facts.

It depends on how much content you’re looking for. You can’t get the “infinite scroll” like you could on reddit, the user base just isn’t there. The closest you can get is browsing all, but it’s still limited. Search for communities based on your interests and then follow the communities that seem most active, as there will likely be duplicates. I left reddit last year when they killed the apps. I will say two things about my transition to lemmy: One, the content I do get is more tailored and specific. Two, I spend less time attached to my phone because new content isn’t pouring in by the second. I view these as positives.

While I wouldn’t advise being in dumpsters at all, if you’re going to do so, I can make a few recommendations based on my experiences in dumpsters.

1. Bring a ladder of sufficient height inside with you. You might need two to retrieve the ladder inside.

2. Be fully clothed, ideally in puncture resistant clothing. Minimum that should be puncture resistant is footwear and gloves.

3. Wear an N95 or better. Beyond bacteria, viruses, and mold spores, it will protect you against small particulates.

4. Chemical resistant clothing is also advised.

5. Be very aware of not only where you step but also the rest of your body in relation to everything around you. Dumpsters can be very slick.

I really advise against this endeavor if you can avoid it. Not only are there significant hazards in the act itself, but there ar additional hazards that you might not be able to detect when consuming items you find in a dumpster. Even if it’s marked for food only, many people disregard the designations of dumpsters.

Because the government would have to hire the employees directly for this, versus the company that is contracted to do so.

When the government contracts for IT equipment, it comes with terms about maintenance, updates, and life cycle. It would require a much higher cost, especially in FTE funding, to ensure that open source code is viable and safe before deployment. I’m not implying that there are zero risks or errors with contracts, though they do provide some benefits.

Many people have terrible gaits and slam their heels down as they walk. I don’t know how someone comes to walk this way, as I’d imagine it is comfortable or great for the joints.

I hear you. I do wish there was more variation, but their all basically the same now.

It probably doesn’t make sense to spend the time, money, and staff to develop/market a small phone for most of the manufacturers because the people that want a small phone will still buy a bigger phone if there isn’t the option for a small one. They can spend less money and make the same number of sales.

You just used the term “hamas animals.” Maybe avoid using dehumanizing language, especially when attempting to criticize others.
