Unpopular opinion: I actually like MS Teams

Look, I know this might get downvoted, but Teams is… actually fine? Yeah, it’s not perfect, but it just works. The best part is that everyone and their grandma knows how to use it because it’s the corporate standard around here.

I can’t tell you how much time I’ve saved not having to do the whole “can you hear me? let me try reconnecting… oh wait try updating your browser” dance that happens with other platforms. My company recently switched to Google Meet and honestly? It’s been a downgrade. Teams might not be the coolest kid on the block, but at least I’m not spending half my meetings troubleshooting audio and video issues.

You da man brother!

I’ve noticed many introverts get exhausted socially because they’re maintaining a “persona” in public. They’re less drained with partners/close friends because they can just be themselves.

Ah, yes. Nothing fires up a debate quite like making someone else’s problems about you

Mu dude, ad fellow tesla driver, I fully concur!

I know this is probably an unpopular opinion, but here goes…

I have this friend who I used to invite to every social outing. Without fail, they’d turn me down, just like in that comic. After a while, I just stopped trying. I mean, you can’t expect me to always chase after someone who clearly doesn’t want to be included, right?

Now, here’s the kicker. I sometimes get comments from them or mutual friends saying they’re not getting the chance to join because I haven’t considered inviting them. And honestly? It makes me bitter.

Look, if you don’t want to participate, that’s fine. But your constant rejection has consequences. Consequences you brought on yourself and shouldn’t be my problem to fix. I’m not a mind reader, and I’m not going to keep extending invitations that always get shot down.

Maybe I’m the asshole here, but I feel like there’s a limit to how many times you can reach out before you just have to accept that someone isn’t interested in hanging out. And when they complain later? That’s on them, not me.

Somewhat boring, but I just love my merino wool t shirts. They don’t have any logos or swag, but they are incredibly comfortable, don’t smell and you just air them out every evening instead of constant washing. They are also expensive as he’ll for those considering them

I wonder if there is some definition gap in what Bethesda thinks makes a good game and what make a good game in the eyes of players.

They have probably done a lot behind the scenes improvements that warrants them to say that this has been the best to work on, but clearly it’s not the best to play.

Reality check: Life’s more “flickering office bulb” than “cyberpunk neon dream.” Guess we’re stuck in Blade Runner: Budget Cut Edition.

Some argue that the keys should not be able to pass through the door, even with ghost interaction. I argue that my keys can metaphysicaly appear and dissappear, also behind closed doors. So those are apparently my keys! 🔑🗝

Common theory l, that I have heard is that if business owns their office space then it’s value is inherently tied to profit margins. If office goes unused, value will drop, which affect bottom line, which affects boards willingness to pay out large CEO bonuses. So getting employees back into the office becomes vital for the leadership.

Thank you for highlighting the major political motivation

I just dont get it. The man rules the world’s largest country by landmass and is richer than the richest people in the universe, what the fuck are you going to do with more land like Ukraine. More importantly, why do so many people have to die for it. And how the fuck are you so incapable of admiting being in the wrong that you threten to nuke the whole world. Why are people in power like this.

This is just what I was hoping for. Thank you!

Been paying for years now, got a 50% price hike. Canceled on the spot. I like the creators I follow, but recommendations have sucked for me for several months now anyway.

Any advice for streaming ad free on Chromecast or Samsung tv?

Ya know that you seldom interact with the same people, thread to thread, instance to instance?

Thank you for voicing the sensible, human and empathetic argument.

I would not fire the guy from his job, however, I would give him endless shit for using a work computer to watch porn. That’s just dumb.

I love reading all sorts of books, and I think most people do too. Those who judge others for what they read are just a loud minority.

“One Rich Asshole Called Larry”, which is a common joke about the company’s founder Larry Ellison.

Or

"One Real Asshole Called...", which is another derogatory joke about the company and its leadership.

Thank you for putting how I feel browsing Lemmy into words. I really hope that more wholesome communities can gain more traction soon.
