I work a 4x10 workweek right now. Huge improvement on my quality of life. I use my free weekday to handle chores and shopping and appointments, then actually spend my weekend with my family. I’ve been doing this for about 3 years.
I know I’ll lose this someday. Eventually somebody will use it against me. That’s the day I’ll start entertaining new opportunities.
Cabin in the Woods is fine art.
10/10 Premise 10/10 Execution
I’m helping my teenager get through all the horror tropes so we can watch Cabin in the Woods together.
Why is the Original Tribal Chief in this meme, tho?
What brand/model # are you using?
Even the toploaders do the same thing now. They don’t actually fill with water like they used to. I got frustrated with my modern toploader and that’s how I wound up with the highest rated frontloader I could find. Both garbage.
The washing machine I bought in 1996 for $250 cleaned clothes better than any machine I’ve had in decades.
I just want to wash my clothes. In water.
Washing machines.
My washing machine 15 years ago would wash my clothes with…uhhhh…fucking water.
Now you can’t buy washing machines that actually wash your clothes in water. They all spritz your clothes with a little water then jiggle around your damp clothes for a bit.
I don’t live in a desert. I live in a place with access to plenty of water. I should be allowed to buy a washing machine that actually fills up with soapy water and washes my damn clothes.
I could buy a Speed Queen washer for $2,000 from a specialty store, but that’s ridiculous. Why can’t I just buy a washing machine that washes my clothes? They’re ALL terrible now. All the washers in all the big box stores are just…bad.
Totally agree but for the opposite reason.
Wrasslin’ is very story driven. Not everyone has time to watch, and the sports news outlets is all spoilers.
It’s like a Harry Potter fan opening their news feed to “Snape kills Dumbledore after epic battle!” plastered all over the news on the day after the book came out. (my apologies to any Harry Potter fans who haven’t read all the books or seen all the movies by now, in 2025).
I know professional wrestling is as real as the MCU or the latest episode of Severance. I am still entertained by all three.
Wrestling winds up in the “sports” section because news outlets have to classify it somehow. That’s not the fault of wrestling fans.
There’s really no need in life to yuck other people’s yum. If it’s not for you, that’s cool.
Fair enough. In the Elon one there are probably some people that would want to hear more. It was hard for me to come up with an example.
We shouldn’t downvote the unpopular opinion, we should upvote it. It’s counterintuitive but we’re actually asking for unpopular opinions. I see a lot of truly interesting unpopular opinions in here that are getting downvoted and I’m not sure everyone is on the same page.
The “unpopular opinions” that should be downvoted are the opinions that aren’t really unpopular opinions and are just trolling. You know them when you see them.
What are the “unpopular opinion” rules on Lemmy?
My original understanding from outside Lemmy is you should upvote the truly interesting unpopular opinions for visibility.
For example:
Florida is purposefully trying to destroy it’s own public school system. They make being a public school teacher so undesirable, and then complain about a “teacher shortage”. Of course nobody wants to be a public school teacher in Florida. You can get fired for how you address someone?
I mean getting 4 or 8 or 12 or 16 hours a day of work out of me is kind of ridiculous anyway. I don’t have a job where X hours = Y production. “40 hours” a week is just my employer’s antiquated way of quantifying my work. I would prefer they just let me handle my responsibilities.
