Too many fake tits on there
- Comment on 3 days ago:
Not for me.
I get paid for 8 hours per week, at a rate thats roughly equivalent to the national average wage, to be available for eight hours on three different days.
I almost never actually do eight hours of actual work, so I feel like I’m okay with this deal. I turn off the phone evenings and weekends, I’m not the only one who can help with stuff most of the time.
I do get that a lot of stuff about being on call is abusive and exploitive, but most of the world is not the US.

Especially when you’re “on call”

Maybe dude works from home.
I gotta check my phone pretty Sharp during working times, even if I’m not working, in case I’m needed

I think my infrastructure can achieve this. 😏
- Comment on DLC is sometimes Downright Ludicrous Commercialism 4 days ago:
Interesting. Might check that out
- Comment on DLC is sometimes Downright Ludicrous Commercialism 5 days ago:
Absolutely agree.
Something like Surviving Mars released a decent complete game.
New DLC added more features than Genuinly felt like additions, not fixes for an incomplete game.

Someone should make an Amazon for used gear, with the same fast shipping and return policy. BC you are right and the new stuff is often such low quality.
That’s eBay, isn’t it?

I’m asking myself whether the humans in Australia became extra dangerous in order to acclimate 🤔

Most enjoyment for me since Voyager.
Best of the new stuff but I feel mean to lower decks for saying that.

I was confused by your metaphor so was genuinely trying to clarify!
I couldn’t work out if you thought they’re wasting resources on Linux or should be investing in Linux
- Comment on Non-Americans: what would you do in a situation where a foreign country run by a extremist dictator began producing nukes? 1 week ago:
Personally?
I doubt the government, military or intelligence agencies are going to be asking for my input.

Can you clarify, are they focused on Linux or ignoring it?

How ironic that the only way to own is to not pay.

Oh, cheese on the noodles?
I like it.
- Comment on My life has been way better since I started keeping a cursory view of headlines once a day 3 weeks ago:
You can either read all the news and talk about all the things that should be happening.
Or read just enough to get on with doing something useful in the world and avoid getting yourself stuck or depleted

Well, isn’t that the question of the ages.
Each generation wants to know why the next is getting it so wrong!
Its mostly good news on that front, from a psychology point of view. Perhaps the best lens is to use developmental models to answer your question, though I will say the assumptions in your question are only partially true. Your own experience might be giving you the impression it’s “most”
If we consider developmental needs, child take a long journey from being totally dependant at birth to being totally independent, usually by their early twenties on average.
Individual stories vary but one part of that process of individualization is pushing back and creating friction between the existing power structures and themselves.
It’s why teenagers are so famously, and seemingly, unnecessarily hostile especially to parents and authority.
Its a short answer to a complex question, does that give you something to go on?
Its a part of growing up, happens in every generation, even if it looks a bit different each time

I’m a psychotherapist. And I train others in the field too, from entry to degree level.
- Comment on Love what you do 4 weeks ago:
I dunno. I switched careers 10 years ago, and I have some good years and some bad years for my income but I still love it and wouldn’t want to do anything else.
A proper “I’d still do this if I was rich” job. Still, I really do need and appreciate time off from it to recharge.
I was warned it’s easier to burn out doing something you love because you won’t want to stop even when you can, and it’s true.
- Comment on Love what you do 4 weeks ago:
Are under estimating how many people are interested in that?
- Comment on I'm not even gay 4 weeks ago:
The classic is “big boys don’t cry”
Masculine social standard. Personally painful and shaming for a lot of guys
- Comment on at what point in life it's too late to go back to school? 4 weeks ago:
Me too.
The increased pay covered the training costs and lost earnings within five years and I’m so much happier.

I don’t know much about corn syrup, but I assume for all the talking about it and the way it’s used that it’s basically ambrosia if the gods lived in a trailer park instead of on Mount Olympus.
