  Or you could fire your boss and form a worker cooperative run on consensus based decision making. Worker cooperatives succeed more than “traditional” businesses and have higher pay for their workers^1, despite being at a systemic disadvantage for seed capital. You don’t need an ai to boss you around, you and your coworkers can make collective decisions without any boss to speak of.

  They still take credit for it like you said.

  Another professional driver here: thank you for saying it. Makes my comment a lot shorter:

  In addition to what 👆 this person said, my partner does not drive for very similar reasons to why OP doesn’t. I would encourage op to try it again in a low traffic, low pressure scenario, away from your parents, and see how you feel. If you still don’t feel up to it after a few times of doing that, start looking for a place to live where driving isn’t the only way to get around.

  No, white is a broad spectrum phenomenon? Like, what we see as white is made up of red and other colors too overlapped

  It is not fucking worth years of growth just to bleach it so hard it falls apart, just to be a “mall Santa”? Malls are dead, get a fake

  I was also stuck around 4 or so inches for a while, and once you get to that length (takes a few years, be patient) it really needs a lot of moisture to keep going. I don’t quite keep up with it as much as I’d like to, but if I did, here’s what I’d do:

  • never ever ever let that 3-in-1 touch it again
  • get a better conditioner and apply it daily.
  • at your length, probably also soap every day or two. Goats milk bar soap, same stuff I use on my face, as recommended by my dermatologist. I only soap the beard every few days, a rinse with the conditioner soak is enough to keep it clean for a while if I do it daily
  • beard oil or beard butter. I wet my hands and apply a good glob of beard butter to my still-wet beard after showering. I’ve heard oils work well, too. Leave-in conditioner is essential. More goat milk. Coconut oil. Jojoba. Castor. Hempseed. That sort of thing.

  Finally, listen to and take cues from women in your life who have long hair. They probably know more than either of us.

  Fight for a better world, both young and old.

  AI does not exist. What we have are language prediction models. Trying to use them as an AI is foolish.

  Took me a second of wondering what “Nazi porn suicide” was to realize the joke.

  You’ll probably never want to go back lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  How confident are you driving an automatic? If you’re comfortable, it shouldn’t be too big of a deal. If you already struggle to navigate traffic, adding more controls will make that worse.

  They’re talking about suspending habeas corpus so…

  Regardless I still think they’re going to go after the unhoused more explicitly and use less explicit means to push trans people (and others they disapprove of) into that category in order to make excuses for the disappearancess. We shall see I suppose.
