  • It also had by far the most responses total. Whether that's because it's the most relatable, because it was first, or because it's the one most directly rooted in the physical world, I don't know.

  • I've never heard of Chester cheese. There's Cheshire cheese, but that's quite crumbly and wouldn't hold up to being packaged like this. You might also be thinking of cheddar. A genuine cheddar would be too brittle, but in modern marketing, cheddar is often shorthand for any homogenous, yellow cheese. So this stuff might be described as cheddar on the packet.

    I think this stuff is more of a cheese-flavoured sauce, that they inject into the bags and leave to set. It's more an invention of the convenience food industry, than any culinary tradition.

  • Yeah, I think doing the longer, standardized tests would mostly just be going over the same points again in slightly different wording. And the drop in responses over time suggests that one question per day might be a bit too much.

    There's a couple of tests that cover slightly different ground. There's one about masking that I think is not too long. Also one about monotropic attention, and I think one about demand avoidance. I'm going to think about it and leave some breathing room before jumping in with another.

  • In Mexico I found out that, when you're expected to be somewhere at the actual time written on the appointment, it's called English time. Was a surprise to me (am English) because I thought that was German time.

  • For those 'people often say...' questions, there's huge cultural variations in how acceptable it is to even talk about one's personal traits. 'people say I am very blunt' - sorry I don't know anyone blunt enough to say that.

    In your case, I think you'd answer Agree for this question. It's not up to you to tease out if it's the result of condition X or condition Y. And your health provider shouldn't be making that determination based purely on which option you picked on a self-report questionnaire.

  • We already had a question about reading subtext, so I guess this one is more about the underlying motivations.

    Anyway in the for column, there's been times when I've been scammed or taken advantage of. And I've had some "[years later]... Ohhh! She was flirting with me" moments.

    In against, I think I'm not bad at spotting when someone is masking distress or discomfort (tho I don't always know what to do with that information). And out of meatspace, with time to process, I'm much better at spotting bad actors.

    Going for Slightly Agree

  • And a follow up question that's not really liftoff-specific - 2 times out of 3 I got the handle wrong on the first attempt and had to go back and edit. Does the tagged user still get the mention notification from the updated post?

    I'm going tag myself in this comment to test it. First, do you get notified for self-mentions @octoperson@sh.itjust.works ?


    E. Nope. I didn't get anything for mentioning myself. Testing ends here (unless I make an alt login)

  • Answer from @thegiddystitcher@lemm.ee when I asked the same question;

    Good question, and sorry to disappoint but I believe the answer is still no. This has been talked about a lot ever since the initial exodus over from Reddit, so I can only assume there's a complicated technical reason why it's not a thing yet.

    If you're Lemmying from a browser there's a tool called Lemmy Universal Link Switcher that I've heard good things about, although full disclosure I've not used it myself. It doesn't solve the problem of generating instance-agnostic links but it does try to solve it from the reader's side.

  • It's funny, both you and @PancakeLegend@mander.xyz were careful to avoid over-literal interpretations (unlike me haha), but still you came to quite different understandings. You - "yes, I have a broad interest in learning". Pancake - "yes, I am systematic with information"

  • I'm thinking of Spaced, maybe the episode when Simon Pegg's character takes his comic book manuscript to a publisher. But I haven't seen it in a while; I don't know if this happened, or my mind just plugged your description into that scene because it would fit with the tone of the show.

    Do you want Björk to talk to you about fungi?
