No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why do we have alcohol advertisements. We don't allow cigarettes to advertise
14·3 days agoNot sure where you live, but I think basically every state in the USA has an extra tax on alcohol.
Look up “sin tax”
I think it was just north of Portland, OR. I don’t remember for sure. It was on the train from Oakland to Seattle.

Hockey@lemmy.ca•How the PWHL is trying to discourage teams from tanking
1·7 days agoI guess that’s the rush is a really bad team who can’t win anything at all. I could see it being horrible for baseball or some league that really struggles with parity and no salary cap, etc.
But NHL and PWHL don’t seem to have that kind of problem as much. I guess it does risk someone falling to the basement and not being able to climb out, though.

5·8 days agoI love this idea. Wish other leagues would implement it.
“Stop posting in relevant communities”
Sincerely just trying to help post content to otherwise largely dead communities that often struggle to have a few posts in a week much less a day.
Also, I’m not getting down-voted on the whole. Apparently lots of people are enjoying the content.
I got yelled at for making original posts in multiple communities, now I get yelled at for cross posts. I’m just posting relevant content to relevant groups.
I thought the cross post was supposed to solve for it and your client only showS one post if you’re subbed to multiple communities that it’s cross posted to, no? I only see it once in my feeds.

1·15 days agoOh, ha. I get it now. Out of context jump. I did read the book and see the movie. On other threads people keep asking me where it was taken so thought you were too.

1·15 days agoHonestly I’m not sure. I took it on vacation there last year. I think it was near the Hockey Hall of Fame

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How do I actually find a job that isn't retail?
3·15 days agoWhat are your interests and skills? Like someone else said, who you know matters more than anything else, but depending on what your interests and skills are, you can go out of your way to connect with people in that space.
And get used to finding ways of talking about yourself as a good fit for that kind of job. Brag on yourself.
Also, volunteering is a great way to build up a resume of skills in areas where you have no prior experience. There are jobs at food banks, homeless shelters, etc., but there are also often places like art museums and zoos that need volunteers. Basically, any non-profit you can think of probably runs largely on volunteers. Sometimes it’s in a warehouse or doing trash cleanup, but often they’re in office tasks like filing, misc office work, answering customer service emails, etc., that would be a great stepping stone to getting paid to do those things somewhere.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What was the first thing or video or music or whatever that was so called "pirated" from the internet? How did it happen and was the end user happy? And can you still access it?
4·16 days agoYou’re actually kinda right. My understanding is the very first jpg image was an unlicensed scan of a playboy centerfold (cropped to exclude the nudity). It was copied and redistributed all over the place, before the internet even existed and it wasn’t licensed, but was copyrighted.
How should that work? It’s relevant to all the communities.
I’m honestly not sure about how that should work on Lemmy. Is that on me for posting something the day or goes live to relevant communities, or is it on the user for subbing to ‘redundant’ communities? There really should be a way to have a post have a common ID across communities so it shows up in all the communities but doesn’t spam if the user is following all of them. But even reposts don’t work like that, do they?
It’s Seattle, Washington, USA
Not in this community. I posted to four different c/photography communities.
Yes. The American Falls as viewed from Canada, specifically.
Glad you like them. Many more coming

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What are the most confusing false friends from your language to another that are spelled exactly the same?
6·23 days agoI think boot (you could also say bonnet/hood, lift/elevator, etc), pants, and knob all do have the same meaning between US and UK, they just have additional slang meanings, but those slang meanings are based on their real meanings.
Chips and Biscuit are better examples of having truly different meaning IMO.











That I can remember? And regularly attended? At least 10. All protestant, but mix of evangelical, non-denominational, and now, mainline.
Mostly because I’ve moved around to different cities a fair amount in my life, but I’ve also switched churches without moving while my theological understanding has shifted.
If you count churches I’ve just visited and not regularly attended? At least another 10-12. Maybe 15.
