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.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What small, everyday life tips do you have to offer?
61·1 year agoI was about to type the same. I dry in the shower and dry each feet before slipping them into my sandal when I step out.

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?
3·1 year 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.

3·1 year agoI wonder if there’s any desperation on the women side there. I’ve seen documentaries about women getting swindled because of their loneliness. I’ll have to do some research.

News@lemmy.world•Elon Musk gave $75m to his pro-Trump group in three months
81·1 year agoThere’s accounts that all his ‘good ideas’ at PayPal were actually garbage and rolled back by the actual skilled people there lul. His only saving grace is his money and a little business sense, say what you want but he at least managed to shove money into the right companies and the fact it happened more than once means he has at least some accumen in that field, even if he’s bad at actually managing them. Twitter was forced on him because of his big mouth not necessarily something he ever actually intended to buy.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What weird false belief did you have as a kid?
10·1 year agoLul nice. I used to think that the cars turn blinkers were a form of rudementary GPS. You just hit the lever and the arrow would tell you what way you needed to go.
Apparently it’s a thing you can train them to do with a bit of effort. You cna train some birds too.

News@lemmy.world•Mr.Beast Hires Elon Musk's Favorite Attorney to Fight Sociopath Claims
61·1 year agoI understand what you’re saying and to a degree I agree but do we know why he was labeled a sex offender? I’m not here to necessarily defend him but I know of people who have had to register when their offense was whipping out their dick near a school to pee. Nothing sexual, they were just drunk and didn’t realize it was a small elementary the building over, the cop wasn’t having a good day and he got fucked by the law.
Again, I’m not necessarily defending him but there’s at least a bit of wiggle room in my opinion depending on circumstances.

83·1 year agoMy guy, I’m willing to believe thus but you just can’t spew massive claims like this without proof. I’ve seen the accusation videos too and at best a handful of people there were plants but definitely not most. Just give me some links and I’ll easily believe it.

News@lemmy.world•Restaurants fight back against the FTC crackdown on 'junk fees' as diners balk at new charges
2·1 year agoYea that’s also why the quality of a lot of those type of restaurants is mid.

News@lemmy.world•Restaurants fight back against the FTC crackdown on 'junk fees' as diners balk at new charges
5·1 year agoThe thing is, they most non chain restaurants could just buy locally and it’ll be cheaper. It just takes some elbow grease and effort which owners don’t wanna do for better quality stuff.
I know it’s possible cause every trendy area I’ve gone to eat at has restaurants advertising local produce from farmers market and they’re prices are always the same or cheaper than other trendy restaurants in the area.

News@lemmy.world•Donald Trump says he will flee to Venezuela if he loses election [Newsweek]
31·1 year agoThat fucking mobster threat is his calling card. I received a trump email that was about voting and at the very bottom it had that sleeping with the fishes quote. Straight up didn’t fit at all but they shoe horned it in there to try and scare people into voting for him.

Programmer Humor@programming.dev•no amount of documentation can save users from themselves
21·1 year 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.

Programmer Humor@programming.dev•no amount of documentation can save users from themselves
41·1 year 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.

1·1 year 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.

4·1 year 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.

263·1 year 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.
