As someone who’s mexican I encounter that more than one would think since I have 2 last names and it gets weird sometimes since I also have a middle name.

Riven@lemmy.dbzer0.comto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•If Trump wins the election thru fraud how can the democrats refute it and prove they won? Or will it just be like another Jan 6 and four years of whining like Trump?61·8 months agoSee I wouldn’t be to sure. There’s plenty of left leaning people who would fight to help restore the US. In the armed forces and by in large they have higher positions. Not necessarily higher as in commander positions but just non grunt ones. At least from what I hear from the friends and family I have in the various branches of the armed forces.
Riven@lemmy.dbzer0.comto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Did the concept of 9-5 included a 30 minute lunch and two 15 minute breaks?5·9 months agoDepends on the state, in my state you legally have to get paid for 30 minute lunches but not hour long lunches. No idea why but because of this most office jobs will give you an hour lunch in addition to your mandated 2, 10 minute breaks.
Honestly I would love to just take a 30 minute break and get out earlier. It’s not even about the money.
Riven@lemmy.dbzer0.comto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What's the term for someone that likes Jesus of Nazareth, but doesn't identify with church, religious dogma, or whatever?3·9 months agoI’m agnostic. I believe there may or may not be a god (regardless of religion) and that we may or may not find proof once we die but while I’m alive I’m just gonna live the best life I can with my own values. If Jesus was alive today I believe we would be homies, dude seemed chill.
Riven@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Progressive Politics@lemmy.world•Hurricane Milton could be worst storm in century as officials say, 'If you stay, you're gonna die'2·9 months agoLul fuck if you’re not right. I’m in the same boat and at least I can pretend they built all the buildings here up tk code for earthquakes so we should be fine for the most part but I many if any building could survive a 9 or higher quake, that’s foundation shifting territory.
Riven@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Movies@lemmy.world•63% of Gen Z Would Rather Play Video Games Than Watch a Movie — GamerBlurbEnglish4·10 months agoTo me it’s even simpler than that. Games are by design more engaging than movies, so I chose to play games.
This might be a shit complaint on my part because these games are specifically for those type of people but I’m playing ff14 atm and they fuggin make me go across the world to talk to someone through a cut scene then make me go across the world again to rinse and repeat and that’s the game. I understand repetition is to be expected in mmo questing, I played wow for 17 years but at least for wow there’s some actual world exploration to be done to some degree and it isn’t usually forcing you to cross the world constantly. Ff14 doesn’t even have proper world exploration, they have teleport stones everywhere so you don’t truly get to see what’s up beyond following the quest lines. Glam, posing and rp saves that game.

No idea why, we had a stove and a comal to warm them up.
Riven@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Politics@beehaw.org•New Trump indictment reveals "strong hand" from the "very first paragraph:" The special counsel's 36-page indictment makes the case against Trump stronger by subtraction, legal experts say2·10 months agoFucker is rallying right now saying he doesn’t need any votes to win lul and that this is the last time his people are gonna need to vote. Somehow we’re still allowing it. Clowns all over.
Riven@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Movies@lemmy.world•'The Crow' reboot was 16 years in the making. It's finally out, and critics say it's 'tedious' and 'unfathomably awful.'English10·11 months agoArcane was in production hell for like 6 years and according to the documentary on its making the story got scraped and rewritten at least once. Sometimes it works. Arcane is so good.
Riven@lemmy.dbzer0.comto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Do any "thickening" products actually work to prevent hair loss/thinning?2·11 months agoI’m in my early 30s and started taking hims about a year ago. I’ve definitely seen regrowth of hair in my slightly receding hairline, but it’s just the more ‘recent’ stuff that had started falling out. I saw about a third of an inch regrowth, it isn’t full on thick regrowth but it’s enough to make a difference in how my hair looks.
I started taking it because it was as easy as just taking a pill in the morning, if it had been more involved like creams and stuff I wouldn’t have bothered. My hairline wasn’t all that bad either before tbh but I figured this product was to help keep it that way so I went for it.
If anyone is interested it’s worth checking out their website for information about how it works and seeing before and after pics of people who take it.
It’s a doctor prescription and you can do everything through the app including getting prescribed through in app texting with the doc.
I’ve also heard biotin pills help, these are otc and my hims prescription actually include some too. I can’t verify how much they help by themselves but people online seem to think they do, it might be worth starting with some research there if a doctors prescription is too involved for you at this time.
Same as reddit, every instance can choose to just start monetizing if they wish and even stop being part of the fediverse. If they get too big and decide to do it then it’ll be a blow to the content on all the fediverse. That’s why it’s better to spread out a bit more to avoid one big instance controlling the whole.
Riven@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Programmer Humor@programming.dev•no amount of documentation can save users from themselves21·11 months agoThey sorta are, plenty of options for cheap quality untilited phone plans out there even with international included and very few people actually need a state of the art 1k phone to make payments on.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not policing how people should spend their money. All I’m saying is that plans are from the past and don’t need to exist, like faxes.
Riven@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Programmer Humor@programming.dev•no amount of documentation can save users from themselves41·11 months agoBack in 2012 apple won a UI patent and we know how those megacorps do. No idea to what extent but that sorta stops any big contenders on copying them. The multi year contracts are a meme from the past but it’s the same sort of people who aren’t techliterate enough to learn a new UI, that keep with the contracts.

Tldr: Parents make sure to teach their kids not to shit on the ground.
Riven@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Programmer Humor@programming.dev•no amount of documentation can save users from themselves2·11 months agoA little. Hands on parenting is what they need. I made sure my baby brother is tech literate when my mom is 100 percent not. He just graduated highschool this year. Sure some of the blame is on tech but kids don’t know how to shit in a toilet either and parents make damn sure they learn as quickly as possible.
Riven@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Programmer Humor@programming.dev•no amount of documentation can save users from themselves4·11 months agoCan’t really blame them either, it was our generation that dropped the ball in making sure they were more tech literate than us. Not that I have kids but still.
Riven@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Programmer Humor@programming.dev•no amount of documentation can save users from themselves263·11 months agoAs someone who’s used and uses both for work and isn’t a fanboy of either, sorry but apple does not have an easy to learn interface. It seems like every single choice they made was done to just be different from the alternative, more often than not to the detriment of the user. If they lock people in to how their ecosystem works low tech people can’t easily change.

Something that could happen in Mexico for a name is Juan Maria as a first, Guillermo David as a middle and Gonzales De Mercado as a last name. Technically 7 words and totally a thing but not common at all, anymore at least.
