What’s the purpose of the megathread? I’m so confused what’s going on with this community…

What are you upset about? $0/hr is a generous salary.

I write a blog on Medium.

You need to have a ton of content to make any amount of money. After writing 200 articles, I started making a consistent $100/month. Not quitting my day job any time soon, but I have a lot of downtime at work, so it’s a productive way to pass the time.

Oh, and the $100/month is pretty consistent. I took a month off from writing, and they still sent me money for the read time on my old articles. The pay is low… but my boss wouldn’t send me a small stipend if I decided not to show up for a month. So, I really can’t complain.

These are people who want to be mods of communities. If you don’t understand the basics of how this platform works, you probably need to spend more time as a regular user before becoming a moderator.

Thanks for the feedback – I’m really excited about starting this community, and I think I overdid it on the promotion 😬

“Bilingual” is really hard to define.

I live in Taiwan (English is my native language), and have studied Chinese to be passably fluent. I can trick people into thinking I can follow advanced conversations, interjecting comments here or there (even though I’m mostly lost – just picking out the tidbits I do understand and commenting on them).

But am I bilingual? At the end of the day, it doesn’t really matter. What matters the most is whether your level is “good enough” to do what you want! In my case, I just want to be able to go to the store, buy things, and hang out with friends. I can read the newspaper, but I’ll never be able to read/write business contracts – but that’s not a goal of mine.

There are so many different shades of bilingual. Don’t worry about it… and just be as good as you need to reach your goals!

Welcome aboard! I really hope this commumity provides the support you need. Keep writing!

With great power comes great responsibility

I don’t cry when I chop onions. If I’m chopping dozens of them, everyone needs to get out of the kitchen because the air will get potent (but I won’t notice).

Never tried it… but I should!!

Ooh, sounds amazing!

Peanut butter and cheese.

Peanut butter and pickles.

Peanut butter and raw onion slices.

Peanut butter and tuna fish.

I’ve tried peanut butter combined with the strangest pairings I can imagine. They’ve all been excellent.

I’m from lemmy.world and I saw this :)

Going to college.

I grew up in a cult, and I seem to have suppressed most of my childhood. Of course, I have bits and pieces – like little flashbacks from my childhood days – but I don’t really have a coherent childhood story. From college onwards is when my life story makes sense to me.

I always have one with me in case I enter a shop that has a sign up asking patrons to wear a mask. I used to wear them religiously, but 3 years is enough. Although I respect everyone who still keeps their masks on…

Phone, keys, headphones, wallet, loose change, pen, mask, portable battery pack.

At least, that’s what’s in my pockets this very moment. Not including trash (random receipts, etc)

In simple English… A number is divisible by 7 if the difference between 2 times the last digit and the remaining digits is divisible by 7.

Examples:

• Is 14 divisible by 7? 4*2=8. 8-1=7. Check.
• Is 28 divisible by 7? 8*2=16. 16-2=14. Check.
• Is 182 divisible by 7? 2*2=4. 18-4=14. Check.
• Is 1323 divisible by 7? 3*2=6. 132-6=126.
  • Is 126 divisible by 7? 6*2=12. 12-12=0. Check.

OP, if I have misunderstood your reasoning, please correct me.

Awesome, thanks!

I like liftoff too, but the notifications screen won’t show me which post people are replying to, so ot gets confusing.

Is there a way to fix this?

Why haven’t clothing manufacturers figured this out yet?
