My personal health has declined to the point where I really need to start taking care of it. Throughout the entire project, we haven’t shared it with you, but I’ve been in and out of the doctor’s office.’

Black explained how he also suffered from two autoimmune diseases which caused ‘chronic fatigue’ and another that attacked his joints.

Yeah, I once had a job working 60-70 hours a week. I ate terrible fast carbs for energy and slept 3-5 hours a night. Eventually I developed an autoimmune/CFS-like illness because I was ignoring my body’s needs.

I think about the less fortunate who have to live this way under stress, all the time. The people who don’t have the option to just “opt out of the experiment”.

We should’ve been taxing homes or land that people own but are not their primary residence, from the start.

It would be super easy to implement, and flexible - if housing prices are too high for 75% of the population, you raise those taxes little by little and the problem eventually sorts itself out. If it’s no longer a problem, you reduce the taxes.

I think there’s a line somewhere and for me the line is whether the job is suitable for children. Like, doing chores around the house or on your grandparents’ farm. Paper route riding a bike. I worked summers at a carnival, and at a pool when I was a bit older. Low physical labor, low responsibility, low customer interaction, family friendly environments. You’re right it should never interfere with education.

If I saw a kid at the register of a fast food place or a store, I would turn around immediately and never return. Just leaves a bad taste in one’s mouth.

Baltimore celebrates historic 20% drop in homicides even as gun violence remains high (apnews.com)

Long plagued by rampant gun violence, Baltimore recorded less than 300 homicides last year for the first time in nearly a decade, ending a surge that began in 2015 following the death of Freddie Gray, which sparked civil unrest and prompted widespread calls for police reform....

Malcolm Gladwell’s podcast series on guns sheds some light on the phenomenon: despite the increase in guns and gun violence, doctors in the U.S. have become increasingly specialized in saving gunshot victims, which essentially turns a homicide into an assault (and police don’t categorize gun violence separately from assault). There’s also some progress being made to build more trauma centers closer to high risk areas of the U.S., which has been a big problem in more violent cities.

Co-founder of Students for Trump was charged with assault after allegedly hitting a woman with a gun, court records show (www.cnn.com)

CNN — Ryan Fournier, a co-founder of the political organization Students for Trump, was arrested and charged with assault last week in North Carolina after allegedly hitting a woman with a gun, court records show.

He looks like a less jolly whoville character

Well see, capitalism isn’t about productivity. It’s about maximizing capital. More consumers means more spending, and more money moving to people maximizing capital. So… Capitalism hates the death of consumers and loves procreation even more.

Fighting war crimes with war crimes doesn’t make it okay

tillary ,

That’s a very difficult question to answer but they’re doing it your way and now there’s just more massacre on both sides with seemingly no end in sight. Is it really freedom if everyone is dead?

tillary ,

I see your point but there’s gotta be a better example. The natives didn’t have any allies that could stand up to the colonizers or even a way to ask for outside help. Today, we have the internet.

I’m just spitballing here in my privileged American home, but if Hamas was vocal about not stooping to Israel’s civilian-killing level, and did major damage to a political building without harming anyone, that could have given Palestinians more sympathy on the world stage. Even if it’s the thing that “must be done for survival”, it’s really hard to be on the side of innocent killing. I personally can’t be on either side of this conflict, and many feel the same.

tillary ,

You didn’t read my post. I’m on nobody’s side. What Isreal has done is 100% not okay, and at scale much worse than what Hamas has collectively done in response.

tillary ,

If Palestine continues with their eye for an eye approach, they are going to lose their fight for freedom. They need strong allies, like every other country fighting for their freedom. Ukraine is the best example I have, but I know it’s not the same. I hope Palestine gets their freedom my friend, it doesn’t look good so far. This is the last comment I’m gonna make.

I’m happy for those people who will benefit. But try being a kid of parents who have the mindset of “FU I got mine”. I’m not on favorable terms with my parents and won’t see a penny until they’ve passed, if they decide to give me anything.

It’s an odd requirement that should’ve been workshopped a little more.

Malcolm Gladwell talks on his podcast about how U.S. hospitals have made huge strides in preventing gun-related deaths in recent years (except in minority cases where hospitals are too far). We also have very little data on non-death gun-related injuries, making it impossible to say whether crime rates are improving when it comes to guns. The last two episodes in the series explain the crime perception pretty well.

In fact, this post alludes the fact that the number of assaults in the US has been on an increase since 2013. statista.com/…/reported-aggravated-assault-rate-i…

For people who are already extremely religious, the experience of losing a child will only strengthen their spirituality. “Part of God’s plan” is their coping mechanism.

Only after they burn out in their 60hr jobs paying for their medical debt and kids will the lessons start to be learned. But it sounds like they lucked out with wealthy families who were able to step in and help.

Yeah, this is no different from how every other social media platform operates. Unfortunately it’s just the way these websites make money to stay “free for consumers”.

The only (distant) solution I can see will be the fediverse, paid for by UBI and decreasing server costs (i.e. green energy and tech breakthroughs)

tillary ,

Okay so what I really mean by UBI is the point that humans have successfully created an autonomous supply chain that keeps everyone fed and sheltered. AI has taken the majority of necessary jobs that humans do not wanna do, creating a surplus of resources that (in a utopia) even if 1% is distributed among the population, could be more than enough to keep fediverse software running on a server farm powered by green energy.

I don’t mean some fox news version of UBI that they think just means higher taxes and everyone becoming fat and lazy.

Somebody better put you back into your PLACE

If there were a data breach where a hacker could figure out the encryption algorithm, you don’t want users to reuse an older password because those older passwords could’ve already been cracked.

By the way, this is why you should also never use the same password for every site. If one of your passwords is leaked and linked to a similar username or email, everything is vulnerable. I’ve had this happen before (the Target breach). After that I started using SSO exclusively, with a random 16 char password manager if SSO isn’t an option (crossing my fingers that bitwarden doesn’t get hacked like LastPass)

There could be many reasons they don’t prompt you to change: they meant to send an email but your notification preferences disallowed it, they sent an email and you missed it, they wanted to keep it quiet, they forgot to add the message and ux flow to change password, or they’re incompetent and didn’t know they needed to do that.

The Epic thing I’ve never seen before but that’s definitely incompetence and/or a very weird bug that just slipped past them.

DeSantis' Florida redistricting map is unconstitutional and must be redrawn, judge says (www.nbcnews.com)

A Florida redistricting plan pushed by Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis violates the state constitution and is prohibited from being used for any future U.S. congressional elections since it diminishes the ability of Black voters in north Florida to pick a representative of their choice, a state judge ruled Saturday....

tillary ,

Looks like they’ll have to stall the courts until the next election to use those gerrymandered maps. Until the punishment is more than “you have to redraw the map again”, the cheaters will continue to do this.

If a group of people can’t do a simple thing like draw districts to be compliant with already very loose requirements, they should be relieved from that duty or someone else given a turn.

Plus the obvious hiding behind a VPN, which you would be out of your mind not to use if you were doing something this terrible. Or can VPNs snitch in these situations? Anyone know?

Boomers got more conservative as they grew older because they’ve been eating shovels of propaganda since reagan and never learned how to fact check like younger generations

Thats the same reason I gave a really crappy company for leaving too. Not saying it’s the exact same situation, but just wanted to point out that people sometimes lie to protect their place in their profession.

When the fuck did a mobile hotspot become something you have to pay extra for?

It’s my goddamn motherfucking mobile data and MY PHONE. I should be able to use it however I want. My wifi went down because the greedy, cunt-faced shitbags at Comcast stole taxpayer subsidies to enrich themselves instead of actually providing the service we’re paying for. I tried to switch to a mobile hotspot and my phone...

tillary ,

USA mobile carriers have been charging for tethering since devices implemented the tethering feature. Android enforced it through carrier firmware. I don’t remember how apple enforced it.

I remember having to jailbreak all my iPhones so I could get it for free. As iOS started feeling more limited, I bought a galaxy phone from Europe because the international phones didn’t have the carrier firmware.

Then T-Mobile was the first big carrier to offer free tethering - I switched to them from AT&T. And now more carriers are offering free tethering because it’s losing them customers probably.

Anything they can do to distract the population from all the government corruption. They learned it from Trump. And the panama papers. Overwhelm people with problems and they lose the ability to focus on any one of them.

DDMMYYYY would be great, if it weren’t for 95% of Americans that use MMDDYYYY. Is 07/02/2000 July 2nd or Feb 7th?

Thus the only solution is to write out the month or start with the year, because no logical group of people currently use YYYYDDMM. Plus by using YYYYMMDD you get the added benefit of the dates all being sortable using dumber applications.

tillary ,

You could convince a group of people to use YYYYDDMM, but what I mean is nobody currently uses it. So at this moment of time YYYYMMDD is intuitive, and has a miniscule chance of being mixed up like DDMMYYYY and MMDDYYYY (because a large number of people use these formats).

Please don’t convince Americans to use YYYYDDMM lol. :-)

tillary ,

English people say October 5th. Spanish people say 5 de Octubre. Same for other languages. That’s probably why Europeans prefer the other format.

I’d never heard the word torched used that way before. I thought someone literally set her on fire.
