I guess if that’s how it works for you, sure. For me it’s upvote if funny, nothing if meh and downvote if downright malicious (bigotry, toxic behavior etc.). I don’t think I gave out more than 10 downvotes on Lemmy during this whole year. Though I can see how this post might qualify for the “bigotry or toxic” category, but I’m willing to give it a benefit of doubt.

That being said, if you have a different policy, who am I to judge.

If you feel the need to downvote everything merely not deserving an upvote, then yes, you need to chill.

Definitely not true, but still a hilarious meme. People downvoting this need to chill.

Because he’s good at playing outlaws, duh. /s

More like Trumpet’s cannon.

I appreciate you still voting though, mate. The alternative is far worse and that’s terrifying that our alternative to supporting a literal genocide is even worse.

Sometimes the “necessary life changes” turn out to be a revolution to overthrow the current system.

An int& reference is just as much of a variable as int* const would be (a const pointer to a non-const int). “Variable” might be a misnomer here, but it takes just as much memory as any other pointer.

never mind, I looked it up. It’s a “reference” instead of a pointer. Similar, but unlike a pointer it doesn’t create a distinct variable in memory of its own.

I’m almost sure it does create a distinct variable in memory. Internally it’s still a pointer, specifically a const pointer (not to be confused with a pointer to a const value; it’s the address that does not change). Think about it as a pointer that is only ever dereferenced and never used as a pointer. So yes, like the other commenter said, like an alias.

As if! I’m sure lots of neurodivergent people would disagree with half of these points.

How many email accounts do you have? It might be a huge factor. I have about 7 accounts I need to check regularly and I cannot imagine doing it manually for each. I can see it working for one or maybe two though.

It… isn’t poop?

People shouldn’t go to jail for shit opinions, I agree. That changes when their opinions become more than opinions.

I’m truly confused about what people expected.

Except you can. The lactose-free milk has lactase added, which is the enzyme needed to break down lactose. Otherwise it’s more or less the same product.
