Not 100% correct. The gig workers are across the world now, and thumb upping answers that are “sort of” correct, or the worse of 2 correct responses, will make the model quality decrease.

“we can do this the easy way, or we can do this the hard way” type vibe.

Why not just vote on the lesser evil and try to change the system for the better even outside of election season?

Why choose very hard mode over hard mode?

I really should start taking my PTO.

Most of the ones I know are unapologetic about their support for him, when asked. They’re definitely less vocal than when he started off his 2nd term, though.

Reject modernity. Embrace lynx browser from terminal.

I hope you’re right, and I still plan to vote, but my confidence in this society has been plummeting since covid.

Let’s hope the planet becomes friendlier by the end of this decade.

November is going to be a bloodbath for the red party.

They said that during the 2 last midterms, too. I’m not certain.

Digg just crying in the corner right now.

Was thinking of those small footprint plant towers that were circulating online a decade or so ago. Look like big upright pipes with holes in the sides for plants. Continually circulating water inside. I’m sure they’re expensive now but I bet we could throw one together without too much effort if we had the knowledge.

Do you think power draw would be that much for hydroponic/aquaponic? Always just watched that and auto gardening from afar

Hydroponic indoor gardening is the way. (I assume - I don’t grow any food hahahahaha)

About as well as Devin taking all of our jobs (which I think was supposed to happen a while ago). How’s that one doing?

Just like most people will fall for articles like this, thinking this means people will change their minds about this administration.

Would it actually be healthier if people had a place to post these thoughts completely anonymously?

No identity. No profile. Just the confession.

I’m building a small experiment called Backroom around this idea where people can post one-line anonymous secrets.

Sounds like PostSecret but entirely online.

I’m sure there can be a lemmy sub for this, though, but I encourage you to keep building.

There are plenty of negligent parents out there, but also plenty who don’t have the time because they gotta pay those bills that crept up on them, especially in this economy.

Over here in the USA people don’t typically get money for donating blood or plasma (there are plasma donation centers that pay, but they are much harder to find), but the business still sells it to profit, iirc.

I’d rather get money as a donor, though. For now, I’ll take the free cookies instead.

Thanks for the answers/breakdown!

They’re only taboo subjects because society (primarily NTs) decided they were taboo.

Autistic people have to follow the rules set by NTs, not the other way around.

I’m 50/50 on this.

People running a social scene (generally NTs) set the cadence, yes.

Thoughts/questions/ponderings:

• Do autistic people, as individuals, not have rules in their own head about how people should interact with them?
• Are there not rules that both autistic peeps and NTs have in common?
• In social groups composed entirely of autistic people, would another set of norms emerge that could get someone in the group scolded if they broke them, just like in the rest of society?
• When a NT person upsets an autistic person because they broke a norm they weren’t familiar with, wouldn’t they also feel bad and try to remember not to do that in the future?

Some taboos exist for good reason and apply across the board. We don’t greet strangers by asking them how their genitals are feeling, for example (although that would be hilarious).

I think I agree with Savvy more.

Grow the fuck up.

Why are people on forums so mad all the time? I’m trying to talk about the points you raised up - I’m not trying to attack you. If you don’t want to have a productive discussion online, and prefer to have a cathartic release: I can’t stop you.

Here’s the thing, we are going to destroy the actual planet. Not in that, “tHe pLAnEt WILl bE FInE!” Dumbass semantics shit, we have enough nukes to glass the surface, boil the oveans, and melt the atmosphere that is paired with a literal instinct to use them. The environment required to have an environment won’t exist.

You’re not psychic and this hasn’t happened yet. We should do everything we can to work against that.

Oh, yeah, I forgot to apply the concept that I’m at the center of all of this.

You’re not, but you are human, and therefore a puzzle piece in it all.

Forgot that I can single handedly fight all of this, like the main character in some short sighted fantasy storybook.

Never said that.

Fuck off with this self-centered, woo woo, narcissistically detached, masturbatory nonsense. Pull your dick out of your mouth.

If I was that flexible, I probably wouldn’t be on the forums.

You wrap it ip perfectly there at the end, though with a “Who knows, though?” We do.

Do we?

You are literally saying “ignorance is bliss, everything will be great for everyone and everything, tralalalala!” as you ignore blatant realities.

Where did I say that?

You just spent like six paragraphs explaining the joys of being a detached, oblivious, deliberate moron.

You spent a lot of effort to disparage someone you don’t know who was trying to talk to you respectfully. Have the last word if you want, now.
