I ll start : I have been following a pretty known tech/Linux journalist, and always found he is a fun dude to listen to, with interesting tech takes...
I’ll go first. Mine is that I can’t stand the Deadpool movies. They are self aware and self referential to an obnoxious degree. It’s like being continually reminded that I am in a movie. I swear the success of that movie has directly lead to every blockbuster having to have a joke every 30 seconds
Plastic seals food, sterile medical implements, medicine, beverages, etc… it’s seems like plastic is used as a way to seal things safely. Post pandemic rising, I see even more. My work used to be have plastic utensils in the cafeteria, for example, an already wasteful thing. Now, post-2020, every fork, knife, and spoon is...
My point was that, while it exists, it doesn’t exist.
It can’t be released widespread into the wild to eat microplastics because it would severely damaged infrastructure. So while it’s a neat toy in the lab, and might make it’s way into waste disposal processes, it doesn’t exist where we need it to exist. And it can’t. So it’s not a solution.
I always find this interesting because my story went something like this:
“ADHD are just people with normal impulses, but more frequent and less able to control them”
“I’m smart and able to multitask really well. Sure I fixate on things sometimes but everyone does. And of course I can have that espresso before bed. Caffeine doesn’t affect me.”
“Everyone creates patterns in their life to remember basic things. Counting steps in my daily routine, time boxing tasks with alarms, and giving myself lots of little rewards is just efficient time management. I wouldn’t call it a coping mechanism”
“Having kids is stressful and my patterns are broken, that’s normal right? I should talk to someone.”
“What do you mean I’m ‘ADHD as fuck’. You’re a doctor, that’s not appropriate language”
“This medication reduces a lot of my internal anxiety and let’s be be in control of my life. I had no idea normal people felt like this all the time”
So, please, tell us how neurodivergent traits all seem normal to you. And welcome to the club.
I would agree with you except that there’s a massive disparity of diagnosis based on gender and race and age. There are a lot of absolutely valid self-diagnosis out there, by people who have been overlooked by the system.
Obligatory “fuck Adobe”. My proudest moment last year was cutting our company’s Acrobat licenses by 70% and taking about a million bucks out of their greedy little pockets.
Nitro is shaping up to be a good alternative for enterprise needs. Not sure about the rest. They seem to have a strangle hold on the creative suite in the enterprise.
Many drivers of apps like door dash won’t take a delivery if there’s no tip in the app. They would prefer cash, but users can’t be trusted to not give zero.
Make it look like it was vandalized by college kids. Then put stickers over the vulgar parts. Come up with a great story about how you feel asleep at a bus stop and then had to try and make it work safe again.
That’s the joke though. He makes the ridiculous claim that he has a taking cat. She’s skeptical. She sees evidence to make her think the guy is a fraud. SURPRISE, it’s a real talking cat. That’s the twist.

For example #bf00ff is a nice colour code. Also known as electric purple.

How will we ever get away from plastics when they are ubiquitous for safety

Do food delivery persons prefer cash tip?
Do you, as a person who delivers through DoorDash or UberEats or what have you, prefer to be tipped through the app or in cash?
Non-religious Republicans of Lemmy, how do you reconcile your non-religious convictions with a party that bases a lot of its policies on religion?
E.g. abortion rights, anti-LGBTQ, contempt for atheism, Christian nationalism, etc.
stupid sexy mannequins (lemmy.zip)
I am in one of those walking boot cast things for the foreseeable future. I bought sharpies to decorate it so it isn't as terrible. How should I decorate it?
I’ll probably be in the boot until at least February. It has to be work appropriate because I’ll be back at the office part time starting next month
