Sure. That is how the justice system works. How the justice system should not work is him or anyone else being sentenced to be executed by the state for their crimes.

Really good news. I know there is a lot of hate for Jezebel, but they were a very useful aggregate for news on abortion, especially after the court struck down Roe v. Wade. And Paste Magazine will likely be a far better company in charge of it than G/O Media.

Two years? TWO YEARS?!

This is fucking nuts. These people took part in an insurrection and they’re all getting slapped on the wrist, even after they get into a standoff with cops trying to arrest them.

But they rejected the label of ‘deplorable.’

All the more reason for them to stop rejecting it and embrace the hate.

It’s not just ‘doom spending.’ There is next to nothing to do without spending money anymore. Pretty much the only free things anymore are city parks in good weather and libraries all year around. I have a 13-year-old. She’s constantly looking for things to do. There’s so little for her to do for free. She’s in online school, so sometimes it’s nice to get out of the house and go to a cafe to do her schoolwork. $15 minimum every time.

That’s kind of the sad part really. She doesn’t use Lemmy, but she basically spends her free time, when she’s not doing other solo activities like drawing, on social media so she has a way to ‘hang out’ with her friends. In her case, she doesn’t even get to see her friends in school anymore (pulling her out was very necessary and partially her choice). If she wants to spend time with friends and doesn’t want to do it with parents hanging around, and I don’t blame her for wanting that, pretty much the only free thing she can do at this time of the year with them is walk around the mall and window-shop. In other words, the main free thing for kids to do is wish they had money.

Yep. She has drum lessons once a week. That’s all we can afford. And that’s just her and a drum teacher, so it’s not even like it’s a ton of social interaction. I’d love to get her to do other classes and things like that, but we can’t afford them.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

We were (somewhat) lucky on that end. Her drum teacher sold us a simple drum set for $500 a couple of years ago and we’ve just added bits to it since then. Considering how much drum sets can cost, that was a bargain.

But we also had two incomes at the time. We’re down to one now.

Kind of hard to have extracurricular activities when the student body is spread throughout the entire state.

Yeah, this is definitely not a high-end drum kit, but she’s a kid and she’s not going to be playing gigs any time soon.

He claims to be autistic. As far as I know, there has never been a formal diagnosis. But he sure does like to use it to excuse the things he says and does.

Yeah, but you never see the handwriting part. Like he’s writing on it and it’s doing handwriting to text, but the handwriting is not on the screen, which just seems like a bad interface.

I had a Newton. You could see what you were writing.

Yes, but you can see what you’re writing on real devices.

@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

No, I’m with you. I think it’s needless most of the time. People are arguing uses, but Star Trek really takes it to a needless level. I remember an episode of, I think, TNG where someone has to be trained and is given a big box of PADDs to read. Jake has a different PADD for everything he writes.

I have a two monitor system on my desktop and I do use all of that desktop space, but there’s a limit to how many screens I could see myself ever needing.

And really, you would think Starfleet would come up with something more efficient.

Why would each area of the ship need to use a different brand or model of device?

That’s sure not how military ships work now.

Amazon exec says it’s time for workers to ‘disagree and commit’ to office return — “I don’t have data to back it up, but I know it’s better.” (fortune.com)

Amazon exec says it’s time for workers to ‘disagree and commit’ to office return — “I don’t have data to back it up, but I know it’s better.”::“We’re here, we’re back. It’s working,” an Amazon Studios head said in a meeting, before acknowledging a lack of evidence.

@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

I wish you could do word substitution in real life like you can with text substitution. If so, every time I heard “I don’t have the data to back it up,” it would become “I’m an idiot who doesn’t know what I’m talking about but-”

Yep. My last job was a hybrid schedule and I was always far more productive at home than at the office. Because I was comfortable at home and had no distractions.

I guarantee they haven’t changed their minds on this. Maybe we should keep talking about it.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

There was not a single thing at my last job that I needed to do in the office that I couldn’t accomplish at home. Not one. I know, because it was a hybrid schedule and I did the exact same thing both places. They didn’t even need to get me equipment to do my work at home. I just did it on my computer I already had. Everything was either done directly on the company’s website or was Google cloud-based and all of our meetings were via Zoom.

And yet, I had to come in half the week. It wasn’t even a saving money on real estate thing because it was an office that was part of a big warehouse/factory, so they would not only need the space regardless, they could actually put more production lines in if they could take out the office space.

It made absolutely no sense.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Nope. My last job was a 10-minute commute. Still not going back to an office. Nothing in my skillset requires me working in an office.
