>“We’re a safety app. We want to keep people safe”

You’re a business. You want to turn a profit.

This is easy to explain. ‘Death of despair’-related suicides, which are the kind that have been rising in most developed countries for the past few decades, are overwhelmingly a matter of people feeling stagnant or hopeless in their socioeconomic circumstances. Note drug-related issues are very often, if not usually, downstream from those socioeconomic issues.

And the answer is: when the rest of society slows down, suddenly those who couldn’t keep up don’t feel so behind.

The only reason this comes as a surprise to so many people is that capitalism suggests that all progress is inherently good with no contingencies, or it draws a binary between progress and regression. Associated with that is American hyper-individualism. Ask a Marxist, for example, and they will offer an understanding of society which centers those who reproduce it, and along with that a sophisticated interest in theories of alienation and the role alienation plays in a person’s relations to their society. For a Marxist, these statistics would have been expected.

Is that the gender-neutral form of “Docs?”

I’m not one to do the boss’s work for them, but you’re observations aren’t wrong. Your expectations are. Personally, I am thankful to be young, single, and have a lot of free time to keep up with things myself. But I have no interest in the society you seem to desire. This business of expecting constant self-education from workers alienated from the product of their labor or any reason to appreciate the daily grind they’re tasked with is asking for a spiraling mess of societal consequences that I am starkly against. I don’t know any simple solutions. I’m afraid socialists might be right.

Companies use Leetcode because they don’t want to pay for experience.

I just want to add that Resolve is an amazing product no matter how you pay for it. For beginners and professionals alike. You will constantly need help using Premiere and you’ll never think you’re using it right because it’s a sum of mismatch concepts and dead ends. Resolve has a comprehensive design so you can learn how to use it and keep using it that way because the entire software supports those concepts.

Making drivers click extra stuff is always dangerous. It doesn’t matter what it is.

Same. Linux support would have me aggressively clicking to reserve a spot on the wait list.

What is a “phone brick?”

I will be on your wait list for the pro the moment I can order it with Linux preinstalled.

Most unions in the US are in fact only made up of skilled workers. Your point is just wrong.

Students are broke, so no lawsuit fuel.

The Marxists saw this coming 150 years ago, and not coincidentally they also have a few good ideas for how to fix it. They are worth hearing out.

This can’t be overstated. Dignity means having the financial stability required to comfortably live in a decent neighborhood, get married, and raise a family.

That was 2003 and a different career with different qualifications, not to mention work schedule.

Pretty good, but that Velvia imitation looks a stop dark.

“Labor shortages” is a mythical term for wage shortages.

No, it’s not. Participating in capitalism is not equivalent to advocating for it.

American communists are responsible for approximately all of the labor protections Americans have left. 40 hour work week, fire exits, minimum wage, child labor act, and the list goes on...

On many accounts, it is better than most paid healthcare in the US and it’s objectively better than no healthcare at all, which is what many US residents are left with. But most importantly even the paid healthcare in Europe depends on the infrastructure and industry upheld by the free healthcare.

For Joplin, review the sync settings. Sorry I forget which one it is but on iOS there was a bad default and once you change it the mobile app works like a dream.
