  But this has created a image of me being a sensitive guy with not so fun personality, a cry baby.

  This sounds like self projection, not necessarily how people actually perceive you.

  Since this is an already open topic. How would anyone suggest getting files of an XP machine to anything else (but preferably to a modern mac)?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This is the chore that never ends⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  One of the best things about my marriage is that for 85% of tasks, our preferences and distastes compliment. Unloading the dishwasher and putting clothes away for me is a matter of 3-5 business days. My wife loves folding laundry and doesn’t mind putting away dishes. I have no problems loading the dishwasher or sorting dirty laundry/starting the machine. Its pretty great that it works out that way.

  We both suck at planning and deciding what to make for dinner though.

  I’ve definitely logged <1 minute calls. Usually to order take out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon thought it would be a good idea to not include subtitles in a film made entirely with sign language.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Due to the Twenty-First Century Communications and Video Accessibility Act (CVAA) of 2010 FCC does indeed regulate streaming services.

  Maybe not, but cares deeply about “equivalent experience “ which this case is not.

  If it works for gyms …

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Doesn't add up⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  With regards to nursing homes there’s a second level. I’m going to borrow from my own past writing here :

  Due to the way that insurance pays these days and that they can take up to 18 months to review and deny a claim at which point you have to pay them back, it’s becoming harder and rarer for single practitioners or small groups to have the ability to have a practice (unless cash based, which is difficult and excludes a lot of people from care which I have FEELINGS about). Corporations have the administrative ability to have a dedicated coder, dedicated team for denial challenges etc. However corporations are predictably exploitative.

  I really don’t see any way to run anything medial based without a dedicated admin team ensuring cashflow. Which sucks. It also costs a ton of money up front.

  Able to share clothes

  I’m ~50lb larger than my wife. The lesbian dream of a doubled closet is not for us. We do get to share shoes and don’t need to adjust the car mirrors so there’s that benefit.

  This is an accessibility issue and the FCC takes it pretty seriously. Captions must be accurate, complete, synchronized (or as close to as possible), and (this is the important one in this case) cannot obscure important information on the screen.

  It’s a pretty easy form, but they do want a lot of details.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do I constantly see testostorone being put into evreything from pills to candy bars but its illegal for trans men to get it?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  So I don’t know where you are or what your healthcare system is like, but I suspect it’s somewhere with a public system. Do you think it’s good for your system to treat depression and suicidal ideation/attempts? Because transition is the best prevention of suicide attempts for people who are transgender. Full stop. If there was any treatment that came close to the improvement for depressed cis people, it would be considered a god damn miracle.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How plausible is a medical tricorder?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly the way they used it, I always thought the tricorder was just the reading part of other diagnostic implements. Kind of an all in one CGM, implanted pacemaker, etc.

  Historical image of a dog on a table and Pavlov surrounded by several people. Impact font text reads “I bet Pavlov loves that we think of dogs whenever we hear his name”
