My ex would scream at me if I even hinted to anyone that I was unhappy because "I was trying to make them look bad". Emotional abuse and manipulation, power imbalances, etc, skews stats in any group.

Marriage is not all its cracked up to be. My divorce 1 year aniversary is this month, after being loyal and faithful for 12 years, I left due to abuse. I am now raising our child alone and I am so much happier now than I ever was while married.

Marriage is societal cancer.

I moved to a non tech company a few years ago. I run the phones and file server and program a few machines we sell. Its nice having a physical product to be proud of, and its enjoyable doing helpdesk for a very small company.

I used to work at web hosts and such.

You seem to be suggesting that an entire race in the US should just get over it because it happened so long ago, which is the same gaslighting this woman is said to have done. Since you are doing this to an entire race, denying the importance of their experience and pain, you are in a class of their abusers regardless of your race.

Point one and two are good, I wasnt aware they had as many preorders almost as the last 3 years combined of f-150 sales, but sooner or later they are going to need to sell to people that don't actually care what kind of powerplant is under the hood to grow their market share and overtake ford nationally.

I like the theory that musk is trying to win over the truck buyer segment's hearts and minds via twitter anti woke signals before releasing it to ensure there is an accepting market.

If you look at a map of the best selling vehicle by state and overlay who they voted for in the last few elections it's pretty clear who he needs to cozy up to and win over. I'm not thrilled about it, and it solidifies my choice not to buy a tesla, but it makes business sense to my uneducated eye.

Personally I like my nissan leaf and would like a nice simple plug in hybrid truck, not an electric brodozer.

It'd be more fair to compare it to a similar quadro card than to a gamer card I'd think.

Anything that uses qt will suffer on nvidia.

There are pros and cons of each by radeon will get you a more intel like experience.

Mlk's kids are still alive dude. This is not ancient history.

It was an example of an abuse not an example of an abusive class of people.

What a large group of people are doing now regarding racism is exactly what this one single woman is said to have done.

Who decides?

This will make for flights with only able bodied people eventually. Immediately though it would make the disabled into victims of riducule. Terrible idea. 0/10 on the empathy scale.

I and many other 30 somethings I know decided to take our health more seriously after the pandemic, since obviously no one else is going to go to bat for us and we are now influential in the workforce enough to tell off the previous gen folks who would like us to just grit our teeth and make do.

It goes both ways in that until recently whites even said a black was less than a person _in the law_, so certainly they deserve to feel slighted by white people insisting racism is over and racial issues need to be considered from a made up position, and we need to do what we can to allow healing to make it right.

The chair doesn't get adjusted until it has already caused pain. Thanks for your concern.

Actually I'm going to lay into you for this. Do you have any fucking idea what its like to not be able to get an erection? Not to feel your legs, shoulders, or hips for days? To not be able to tell when you have to poop? And all it takes is a fucking $200 chair that they leave the fuck alone to be just fine? I don't need the goddamn ada. All I need is a little trial and error to get my spine aligned right so I can sit for 8 hours without "SUPRISE you cant feel your DICK" and then to have that chair left the fuck alone.

Dude you will be so fucked when you hit 60. You have no idea how much you will hate the world for the lack of consideration it shows you.

If you want to do the right thing and help fix it use a burner phone to send proof and let someone else break the news who actually has something to gain from it. Like a news agency local to the company perhaps. You have nothing to gain and a lot to lose.

I absolutely had lower productivity sharing a desk last time I was required to. The chair was always adjusted wrong. May as well just stay home. I'm not OCD but I've been seeing doctors for my back problems since I was 18 so frankly you're an ableist. Enjoy your health while you can.

I thought corn ethanol was for fuel diversity, not green energy.

I'm angry because I felt trapped scrolling through the same crap under different categories on the same page. It was not relaxing or enjoyable. It was abusing my attention.

Literally no one can keep you off the network. It cannot be any more plain than that.

You seem to be confused. No one on mastodon can stop you from speaking. They can just choose not to listen. Censorship would be stopping you from speaking. As long as you're not breaking any laws, no one is going to shut you down and prevent you from being on the network (eg, your hosting company shutting you down). All you stand to lose is a generous system administrator doing the work of staying online for you for free.

Is free speech in your mind something someone automatically has obligation to share? Thats forced, not free.

It sort of seems to me (seattle area resident) that our social programs are under attack from concept to execution by people that would rather the disadvantaged just die. The people doing good work get burned out fast, the money dries up, its just bad.

My neighbor was the director of a homeless shelter and the crap he had to deal with was unreal.

I look at it kinda like the anti car movement. The big companies supported whichever side would save them money. They supported getting rid of street parking for bike lanes and making parking under a building part of code.... then sabatoged it by making the parking all permit only or very expensive. Now theres too little parking either way to go shopping and the anti car people get to look bad. But it didnt really affect the average s class driver at all so who cares right?

This is just the impression I got working downtown for 10 years. Probably have some misunderstandings.

Pc means wintel my good dude. Actual personal computers are not seen as "a computer" to lusers. They are workstations. Or devices. But PC (like it was printed on oh so many software boxes) means windows+intel(or unremarkably compatible).

No one can stop you from finding or starting an instance with your values. Its the same kind of freedom the copy machine or the home word processor gives.

No, it doesn't let you be a prick with someone elses resources. They have no obligation to listen or amplify you.

Perhaps people's expectations of free speech are a little greedy?

Wouldn't that make for a great incentive to make a chemically dependant slave class? If the fines are less than the profits it's be great business.

Many star trek episodes were written about this.

You would love mastodon then. There is no censorship at all, but at the same time everyone is free to ignore you either personally or for their whole instance. Best of both worlds.

I zone out at work all day waiting for people to bring me problems, then when I get home and finish my chores and get the kid to bed I get to work on actual work projects with measurable progress.

To be clear, I'm showing up to be seen and available.

Thanks for sharing this.

Rehab and jail won't teach them to pay bills and prepare dinner, will it? There's a basic nurturing element missing in all this.

Oh I get it, they are atrributing the base 10 to base 2 loss to the os, so as sotrage increases the "os" appears to eat that space.

Probably was an interesting meeting about this at some point.
