Sure, commuting through a 3 block market. Totally a thing in reality.

Sure, take away legal options for people to live their lives. I'm sure that's going to be fine for everyone

Wearing socks *is* a social construct in c/microblogmemes@lemmy.world
[–] figjam@midwest.social 37 points 5 days ago (14 children)

Socks serve a practical purpose when combined with shoes. They prevent rubbing (blisters) and they keep the skin cells and oils from your feet from the insides of your shoes.

Shoes serve a practical purpose in that they protect your feet from rocks, glass, and hot pavement. Did our ancestors need shoes? No. But humans have made our environments less friendly to bare feet

Why is Mega bad?

I worked at an escort agency. This is how it changed my attitude to sex in c/australia@aussie.zone
[–] figjam@midwest.social 15 points 1 week ago

If you are young and attractive and the only other context you have for sex is porn the belief is understandable. Its emotionally immature view that I'm glad she grew out of AND decided to write an article about to help others.

How do you say "you're lying" in a corporate way? in c/casualconversation@piefed.social
[–] figjam@midwest.social 10 points 1 week ago (2 children)

this is a great tactic. Admitting that you don't know everything allows you to respectfully challenge a norm or assumption without looking like a know it all.

It's interesting that gun rights were sold on the basis of "resisting unlawful government." They seen to have _caused and supported_ unlawful government. in c/showerthoughts@lemmy.world

I encourage people to educate themselves on guns and what type and size gun is appropriate for what they want to do.

You aren't wrong... but leaving guns off the table feels short sighted.

Looking for community management platform. (midwest.social)
 

Hi. I'm looking for a tool to run a small community. I'm hoping this crowd has seen something similar and can make recommendations. Here is the use case.

I'm part of a group of less than 50 people that teach an activity. I need to coordinate instructors support staff and location availability. As well as communicate and store files for instruction

  • Id like a shared calendar that everyone can see and manage events. Each entry needs to have a spot to say where the event is taking place as well as time, date and a notes field to put student names.
  • Id like a chat feature where requests to the group can be seen and responded to. (Hey, can anyone teach a class on this day?)
  • id like a place to store documents and training materials. Ppts, maps and class standards

Thats kinda it. We are currently using an app called "Band" which is ok but I wanted to know if anyone else knew of something open source that doesn't rely on Google or fb.Thanks!

Q: New to linux, is steam os an ok pseudo casual distro? (midwest.social)
 

I want to get some experience with Linux before win 10 goes end of support. I won't be using this machine for work. Gaming primarily but also 3d printing and possibly some light piracy. Is there any reason not to install steam os?

Thanks in advance kind and wise nerds in my phone.

Music video library starters? (midwest.social)
 

Hello. 1st time caller, long time lurker. If I wanted to get a bunch of music videos for a theme party (in this case goth 80s) what would be the best source? Are there like mtv torrents by year or anything to make the collecting less tedious?

We thank you for your support.
