@mentallyalex Haha, they really do get themselves into all kinds of trouble! Silly ‘shrooms
I definitely have to have things planned out with my work... but I think that's the same with any self-employed business. I've been doing it for so long now that I have a process that I follow.
Oh we self-starter few, how many processes we toil under that we have made ourselves. :blobcatgiggle:
Your world is fascinating to me. I write but I didn't put effort into that area. I'm very curious how you manage progress. Like for me, it's a scene or a dialog or an example of instruction. But for you, I understand sometimes it takes weeks...do you just...chip away? Do you allow hours for "creative Freeplay" or whatever?
Not to take away from the Mushroom kingdom of course, just curious how your world works.
There is an assumption that the point of a protest is to "raise awareness" and "bring people over to your side". Some protests are like that, but certainly not all and maybe not even most.
Sometimes you do a march or a walkout to raise awareness for an issue or just to let people know that your movement exists.
But a labor strike is not there to "raise awareness". The primary purpose of a strike is to harm the company so that they give into a list of demands
@MoBlack You forget - a walkout's usually the end result of MULTIPLE attempts by frustrated workers 2 negotiate an acceptable settlement. You may not see it as the best solution. Often, though, it's the only solution for workers at the end of their tether. So, employers really should negotiate in good faith before it gets to that point.
New: OpenAI—a company that has indiscriminately scraped vast amounts of human knowledge to build a company valued at roughly $80 billion—has made a copyright complaint against the ChatGPT subreddit because it used OpenAI’s logo.
Jack Dorsey left Bluesky because they want some way of moderating awful posts and he is opposed to that. He thought Twitter banning Trump was a terrible idea.
He said he has always liked how Musk uses Twitter and seems to agree with the general direction Musk has taken Twitter in.
He wants to monetize social media with Bitcoin transactions.
Jack Dorsey is a libertarian, nazi piece of garbage who doesn't care if he burns the planet up with Bitcoin profiteering.
I have to give Bluesky credit: they managed to alienate Dorsey so badly that he deleted his account and left to find another social media platform that he might exploit for nazi discourse and bitcoin profit.
Nostr is his next target, btw. This appears to be the next social media platform he will play with.
I never stop wondering how he would feel if a group decided to set up a conversation about the best way he could be murdered. I mean, he could certainly block that group and remain unaware of their plans, I suppose, but I would guess he would be very interested in that group not continuing to discuss the matter.
(And, yes, well aware of all the groups both being targeted this way as well as targeting.)
Agression validiste de la part d'un couple de bipède et d'un flic.
Un bipède marche (à gauche du trottoir pour lui) face à moi, en regardant son smartphone.
Inévitablement je lui roule dessus. Il se plaint.
Je dis fort que je ne me sens pas responsable, il n'a qu'à regarder devant lui, je suis un putain de fauteuil roulant.
La femme se met à me suivre en me disant d'être poli. Les flics à côté s'en mêlent, en me disant d'être poli que je ne suis pas prioritaire sur les piétons. #3615Looping
Donc je roule à l'extrême droite du trottoir, le bipède arrive en face de moi sans regarder devant.
Je dis de regarder devant au lieu de se plaindre et le flic à côté me fait du "tone policing" en me disant que je ne suis pas prioritaire. J'ai été choqué pendant 10 mn.
@pascal_gunzenhauser Sinnvoll wäre sie manchenorts schon - Ich habe die Strecke Lübeck - Lüneburg vorm Fenster, und nachts dieseln da immernoch Güterzüge entlang, die mit Oberleitung elektrisch fahren könnten.
@lea my attendance has seriously slipped lately - i used to have perfect or near-perfect attendance, now i'm lucky if i can make it to any of my morning classes
hooray for burnout and undiagnosed adhd
@ielenia i assume i have adhd too but i don't really want to get tested because i don't want to take meds for it and if the test comes out negative i have to find something else to blame
I want to join The Browser Company just to fix the bodgy focus rings on their custom buttons in Arc, and then I'd fly off into the night like a vengeful, bug-fixing Mary Poppins.
today in late capitalism, my doctors office asked for a cash donation because they are nearly out of operating cashflow because of the cyberattack on change healthcare, a unitedhealth subsidiary
somehow i feel like unitedhealth, which still has a 500b market cap, could maybe chip in here
@futurebird yo, I love my AirPods so much. They are fantastic! But there are times, many times, I wish I could use something else. Sometimes it’s because of connectivity issues, sometimes it’s because my AirPods are low on juice, sometimes it’s because I want to use a nicer pair of headphones in my collection that aren’t Bluetooth. So no hate on my AirPods, I just hate that Apple took away the option.
Sie sind unzufrieden mit der Lage von Zwitscher und wollen zu ausgestorbenes Rüsseltier wechseln, wissen aber nicht welche Instanz die beste für Sie ist? Kommen Sie zu Hirnrindenimplantat! Wir haben alles was das Herz begehrt!
Boeing’s Starliner crewed mission was postponed shortly before launch on Monday because of a last-minute issue that cropped up with a valve on the spacecraft’s rocket. Turns out the spacecraft was made by Boeing, which is concerning because recently Boeing makes things that fall apart easily.
