In what way is working a more physically demanding job “advancing yourself”?

Besides, I’d also argue that most customer facing jobs are just as demanding as most physical trade jobs. They just fuck you up mentally instead of physically.

Not even degrees mean much anymore, a lot of job positions require one cause they can, not cause you’d actually benefit from that knowledge. Spending all that time and money to get a piece of paper can Aldo hardly be called "advancing yourself’.

You will still get residue on your walls over time. Doing it once won’t cause harm, but prolonged indoor use is just shitty for everyone.

It does kinda fit. The main part that changes between the “levels” of a diagnosis is the severity of symptoms and how much they impact your ability to take part in society. If car and SUV are too close for you, then we can also compare a normal car with a three wheeled one. Its kinda different but still the same. Everyone but the most pedantic person would categories it as a car.

It doesn’t mean everyone needs the same accommodation, but that’s also the case for someone with a broken pinky vs a broken neck.

Nah, not even the basic “its capitalism” excuse works anymore for that idiocracy. Capitalism may force companies to increase earnings, which is already stupid enough in itself, but the timeframe that’s measured in got reduced so much in the last few years that even short term goals are impossible without cutting costs.

Ten years ago monthly earnings were at most an indicator, what mattered most were fiscal years. It slowly evolved to quarterly earnings and now we are at a point were a single “bad” (as in, not as much profit as last month) can plunge your stock prices by 10+%.

Yes capitalism always fucked over the working class, bit it wasn’t made to force big, profitable companies to self destruct for 0.5% higher monthly profits.

no nuclear, where will energy come from during windless nights/cloudy days

Nuclear can’t be used for that either way. Nuclear power plants are notoriously expensive, so they need to run at a constant 100% output to be remotely economically viable. That means you can’t just dial them up to fill a gap in renewables since they already are at max output.

Even if we ignore economic concerns, the old reactors we had weren’t build to operate in load following mode, meaning you couldn’t just ramp their output up/down if you wanted to. New reactors are often build with that capability in mind, but that would’ve required pretty much a full rebuild of the reactor chamber and the control system. With the already required maintenance it would’ve been easier to just build a new reactor at that point.

If the two options are a new nuclear reactor or investment in renewables, than the latter option is faster, more reliable and cheaper. The gaps in renewables could easily be solved with more water reservoirs and battery stations as power storage. The main problem is that germany, like always, introduced so many diplomatic hurdles in the process that no one wants to do it. You can thank our totally not corrupt politicians for that.

The only thing that really bounced back during covid was air pollution in big cities. Global warming didn’t stop, the polar caps were still melting and the insect population didn’t meaningfully increase again. Less immediate pollution is nice for the people living there, but on a global scale it made next to no difference.

One candidate was waivering between 13 and 17…

Pleas tell me that’s a joke. Or were they trying to switch fields and were a baker or something before? I just can’t accept that someone that would struggle with that question, even in a stressfull situation, ever took a single comp science class.

Autism and adhd are classified as disorders instead of diseases for a reason. Disorders per definition disrupt normal/expected body functions and don’t necessarily have any underlying cause. Neurological disorders are just a collection of issues that disrupt your ability to take part in society as the majority would expect.

And anyone struggling with it will tell you that, while it may have been normal human behaviour a few hundred years ago, its fucking exhausting to get trough life with it in this age.

I know where you are coning from. With how much shits hitting the fan right now I don’t know if I’d want that lable on me officially. But at the same time does getting diagnosed open up a way to easier help and accommodation for issues that are 100% real.

That doesn’t mean you get accepted in a country just cause you can speak it.

You can just use the object picker in UBlock to remove the box once and for all.

I could have made some insane cash selling this but no amount of money will stand between me and my determination against Microsoft.

There is no better motivator than pure anger and spite.

Yes they do change, but they do so slowly over time.

The main issue was how jarring the change felt and how wierd it was that your leader was some famous person that’s not connected to your civ. You are essentially playing Gandhi that is leading the mayas just to then change into England one turn later.

And we can assume it’s not a city bus, because it says school bus.

That’s such an american thing to say. School and city buses are the same thing in a lot of the world. Sometimes they are chartered by the school with public funds, sometimes they are just normal bus lines that have additional timeslots before and after school.

And even school uses itself vary a lot by each countrie. The US has these yellow monsters while a lot of Asian countries use small vans as buses.

I honestly just wish the capitalist number min-maxing to keep shareholders happy would finally stop. In the last 8 years the time I spent doing “accounting work” has increased from 10% of my total to almost 50%.

I’m fairly certain that they often DO have contracts that demand their store gets the lowest price available from at least some game developers.

There is a paragraph in their store contract that specifically demands price matching with other stores, but only if you sell steam keys on other stores or use the valve infrastructure for multiplayer. How its enforced is another question, but the rule itself is fair.

Maybe big studios have different contracts, but I at least haven’t heard anything contrary.

Its very common for people with ADHD, autism, depression or some other mental problems that fuck with your executive function and mental capacity. AMD considering how technical and niche Lemmy is, I’d wager that about 50% of the userbase fall under any of those categories.

Q could do a lot more than just randomly appearing. There definitely was a bit of timetravel and exceeding warp 10.

Even if he isn’t omnipotent, he definetly is a godlike being to humans.

Security wise Fairphone isn’t up to GOS standards, so a collaboration wasn’t on the table either way.

If said standards are reasonable is a difficult thing to say. A few years ago I would’ve said that a normal person doesn’t need to be concerned that the police tries to break into their phone, but with the current state of things and the increasing rise of fascism, I’m not so certain anymore.

for most human beings, it takes lots of training to attain these abilities

That’s exactly what you and pretty much everyone in Northern Amerika and Europe did in school. Training your reading and writing skills, increasing your vocabulary, practicing reading comprehension…

Sure there are some that have it easier than others, but a 6th grade reading level is the equivalent of getting winded after a 100m stroll on even ground. At that point its detrimental to your own wellbeeing and day to day life. (The few percent that have an actual disability are excluded here)

Android does pretty much the same thing with Google accounts.
