Hi there. My feet are the same size, although I would say the whole left side of my body is slightly, just slightly, larger than the right. I don’t feel any difference between my feet with regards to shoe size.

Having said that, I do get callused soles on my left, and I wear out the shoe soles slightly more as well.

I used to wear cheap shoes when I was younger, but my experience is that they always rub me off on some spot or another in a painful way, or just feel painful when walking or standing for long periods of time. I haven’t had those kinds of problems since switching to expensive shoes. I also noticed the expensive ones are not that much more of an investment since they last longer.

So yeah I’m not saying that’s the solution to everything but good quality shoes definitely helps.

I didn’t know heirlooms would be just as easy to grow. I might give it a go… I love their taste, unfortunately the price is a bit on the ridiculous sometimes.

Okay let’s test it: Do you like licorice? I hate it, but the comment you replied to was talking about bliss

My thoughts exactly. All I can think of is that religious devotion requires giving away your brain??? It really is a bizarre illustration

We are not talking about what the most realistic case scenario would be if something like royalties were implemented. Of course companies will find ways to screw their workers, for example, with speculative profit as part of payment etc etc. I’m with you in that yes that’s what’s most likely to happen if it were applied in our society in this day and age and in some countries it would go worse than in others. We get that.

The whole point of this comment thread was what isn’t happening, therefore, which morals or ethical considerations one doesn’t need to mind because of that. It’s not that “this payment style would be better if implemented”, rather, " if payment worked that way, pirating would be harmful to the workers"

Can you explain it to me please? So far the only one that got me to chuckle was the athlete greyhound one.

This one pisses outside the urinal, it’s grossly missing the mark

On one side the artists who have art as an integral part of their identities and social roles, threatened by Ai, should be paired by the equally dedicated programmers who are threatened by Ai

The ChatGPT programmers should be paired with Midjourney prompters that so call themselves artists.

I’m not the person you replied to at any point in the thread, and I agree that there is potential for a slippery slope in a similar way it happens with tipping culture.

But my understanding of the original comment was that workers should also get a share of profit after the game is released, with no changes to the salary they received during the production stage which is just covering for labor as it happens everywhere else. Upfront payment and royalties, proportional to profit. (This type of arrangement is unusual but exists, or used to exist, in publishing, for both authors and illustrators).

The idea wasn’t to change it one for the other but hypothetically add it, but we know greed won’t allow that to happen, which is used as a moral point for piracy: you are not hurting the people who did the hard work at all

But you and your friend wouldn’t download a car now would you…

TIL you can say apes for bees in Latin, I only knew apis

Pirate zbrush and try Nomad. I don’t have a tablet so I never gave it a go.

As for Zbrush, Maxon has done absolutely nothing of value to it since its acquisition. I purchased the perpetual license when it was still Pixologic and that’s what I keep using. I hear from industry professionals that I don’t miss out on absolutely anything new at all.

Evangelists, ugh

My cats ask the same thing when I clean. I mean. They don’t speak, of course. But they look puzzled af. When I finish and sit down, they approach slowly to sniff me and check if I’m still the same person before cleaning

Yes especially when you take into account the amount of people who can barely speak the official language of the country who are seeking a driver’s license. You don’t know their cultural backgrounds, their experiences or expectations. When you are explaining a set of rules, it helps to be consistent and thorough. It also prevents people who fail a test to sue or complain against the organism saying they were never informed.

Source: I am an immigrant that got a drivers license in a country with this type of left turning. I don’t know if things are still the same, but when I did my training and test, nobody forced me to watch or read stuff. I was free to choose how many times I wanted to watch or read a resource.

Dark… Probably the darkest humor I’ve seen on Lemmy

Mr (Annoying) Orange or Mr Hairdo, I guess you could go with Mr Freedom but I’m not sure it’s a good fit. Let’s Build a Wall and Let’s Build a Gulag isn’t what Real Mr Freedom would say but that’s just my opinion

Or crosswalks, or bicycles

It’s hilarious but it shouldn’t. I didn’t know

I thought so too, I’d be upset if he became president of the world

I don’t live in America, I never had American citizenship, nor family or relatives or any responsibility to vote in your mess guys. Still my president you say?
