  Healthcare co-ops exist. But a good number of people get health insurance through their jobs, and those jobs usually contract with one of the big corporations.

  I don’t know about content, but the Linux and self-hosting communities on Lemmy are infinitely more helpful than the ones on Reddit.

  That’s the wide maniacal smile of someone who revels in the thought of carving you like a decorative soap.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨to those of you not very talkative / introverted, how do you survive the constant pressure and misunderstandings from coworkers and future employers to open up, talk more?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There are a few reasons. Most people just let me go about my work with very little interference, my boss included. The pay is good and I have a good amount of autonomy that I don’t know I would find in a different job. The work itself can be tedious at times, but I still kind of enjoy it and I’ve done it long enough to be really good at it. And, like I said, I’m now numb to the people who don’t like me. Their dislike doesn’t bother me enough to give up the things I like about the job.

  I’m always open to other job options, but I’m not actively searching at the moment and nothing better has come along so far.

  Most of my co-workers don’t like me. My boss doesn’t even like me. But I’m known for the quality and consistency of my work. So I pop my earbuds in and go about my day, and they leave me to it for the most part. Every now and then my boss asks me to take on a special project that requires more group interaction than I’m comfortable with, and I just have to grit my teeth and get through it.

  I’ve become more numb to being disliked over the years. I try to accept and respect that they are who they are and that’s ok as long as they also respect my social boundaries. And even when they don’t, I have learned to kindly, but firmly, assert those boundaries.

  I wouldn’t bring it up in an interview. Knowing how extrovert-centric the job market can be, there’s no need to shoot yourself in the foot by making it an issue if it doesn’t come up. Once you have the job, if they decide to fire you because you’re not enough of a social butterfly, despite your good work ethic, then that’s their loss.

  Fucking fucks imply the existence of asexual fucks.

  Mother-fucking fucks are all I can find on Pornhub these days.

  The real question is how he still got 40% of the vote.

  I truly believe the only reason he didn’t get elected is that he did all that weird shit while being a Black man.

  Based on a ratio of box office to production budget, Borderlands is still the biggest bomb hands down.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How come in court counsel can object to what one says or shows and the judge will say sustained and the jury disregard. How in the hell does a jury just auto take it out of their memory?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  When I served on a jury, the judge had us leave the courtroom multiple times. Once the trial was over, the judge told us what was being discussed when we left the room, and the reason the information had been excluded from testimony during the trial.

  Had the DA tried to introduce this information while the jury was in the room it probably would have made it more difficult for us to come to the same verdict. I imagine that if the DA tried to do this often enough, it could lead to a mistrial and possible disciplinary action.
