All I’m saying is that a person hanging a picture of an anime chick in their cubicle is far enough outside the norm of office behavior that said person probably doesn’t have a good sense of social cues. There’s absolutely a difference between pictures of your family and pictures of your cartoon waifu.
I can’t see why any reasonable workplace wouldn’t even allow one to have a poster like that hanging there
If someone hung a poster like that at the office I would question their social understanding.
I can’t compare or contrast because they’re the only kind I’ve used. My wife introduced them to me. But I really like them!
I treat my cargo shorts like a purse.
Phone in one pocket
Wallet in a side pocket. Started doing this on a vacation in a foreign city to be less pick-pocketable, and turns out I love it.
Another pocket contains a fuckload of little stuff. Earbuds, lip balm, contact solution eyedrops, weed pen, breath spray, car key, set of house keys and some others in a folding keyring to which I have also attached my eBike battery key and eBike lock key.
Oil-absorbing paper in another pocket, great for keeping the adult acne at bay.
Cargo shorts make me a card-carrying member of the Dork Squad, but damn do I love them. I can even fit my Switch in there if I want to.
Yes, but after naming my first child Bulbasaur and my second one Venusaur, I’m not sure I can sire enough children to fill in the first 150, let alone the full roster…
Plus you already forgot Ivysaur!
E’rybody know that’s Big Dick Bee!
Leftists - making progress the enemy of perfection and fucking themselves over since always.
There’s a great episode of The Dollop about the Segway guy. 565 - Dean Kamen and It.
Stay sexy and don’t get gridlocked.
I’m not the only one who uses the interrobang‽
I’m not saying it’s good food, I’m saying it’s decent food and good value.
I, personally, would call their Philly Cheesesteak pizza “good” food. Not, like, local restaurant level good. But early days of COVID that was my little bit of sanity. Order a couple pizzas from Dominos delivery on Sunday, eat a slice of each for lunch every day.
Dominos turned their shit around like, I dunno, 15 years ago or so. When they started making oven baked sandwiches.
I honestly really like some of their pizzas. It’s not bad. They just know that it used to be, many years ago.
It’s like when Buick made those commercials about how their new cars actually look good so people don’t realize they’re Buicks. When you have a reputation, sometimes it’s a good idea to acknowledge it.
Oh I love that shit. See also every video by channel Shaun (the skull with glasses).
This video on YouTube plagiarism can’t be that long…
Of course we do, it’s the nectar of the gods.
Damn I really want some Rock n Rye now.
Pretty sure it should be “dronie,” not “dronnie,” by English phonetics.
Unless you’re pronouncing it like the name “Donnie” but with an ‘r’ in there.

I wish people knew this wasn’t a word.
Literally all words are made up. There isn’t some cosmic rule that says words have to be a certain way.
This means that as usage changes, new words are born.
Dictionaries recognize this better than the people who worship them. Dictionaries are descriptive, not prescriptive. Their job is to help people understand one another. Which is why the word “podium” in many dictionaries has a North American added definition for “see lectern.” Because when people in North America say “podium,” the usually mean a lectern. So now the word podium also means lectern.
So if enough people use “everytime” with sufficient frequency, it will enter dictionaries. Just like “anytime” did after people started using it in the 1800s. Same with “everyday.”
Don’t get me wrong, I wouldn’t recommend using non-standard vocabulary in a formal setting, like an article or a paper or some technical document. But Lemmy posts are informal.
Edit: Also, for what it’s worth, I frequently offer corrections for spelling and syntax. Just…this type of vocab isn’t worth correcting (in my mind anyway).
I remember reading a story in my Spanish lit class about a guy who wasn’t attending church, and his mother was freaking out, so the family priest went to talk to him. And the priest was like, “I totally get it. After all the evil I’ve seen I don’t really believe either. But I continue in this because it is my life, and I can provide comfort to people. Consider attending because you love your mother and it will help her.”
Or which other countries play, but we don’t include them.
Looking at you, baseball.
Maybe. I don’t think those norms are enforced from above or anything. It’s one of those “read the room” type things. And that’s all I’m saying. Someone who would have a scantily clad anime poster in their cubicle at the engineering company I work at has failed to read the room. And thus I question their social understanding.
I also feel like it’s the sort of thing that makes a workplace less comfortable for some people. Like, I can imagine a woman working in the very male-heavy software and engineering departments who could find such posters off-putting. Just like it would be tacky to put up posters of a supermodel in a bikini on a muscle car.
Let’s maybe just not objectify people at work, you know?
