In other words, they’re only interested in punishing the ones that get caught, and they’ll only process it well after it’s happened so they can just deliver a slap on the wrist.

By definition, you can only punish the ones that get caught.

I don't.

I'm a bit clumsy (ADHD) and having a cable attached to my body attached to a €1000 device is asking for trouble. I hate the cable getting tangled up, caught on things etc.

None of the icons in this meme are classed as "unskilled labour".

A farmer? a bricklayer? are you fucking joking?

Do you have any idea how much a bricky gets paid. Probably more than you.

Another classic case of arrogant internet socialists with zero real world experience letting the mask slip.

OK, but why do you think you're paying teenagers to work in McDonalds and not courting the best neuro-surgeons and rocket scientists?

What is it about their relative skillsets?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Except there are plenty of jobs where ten years of experience doesn't equate to ten years better at the job.

There's an upper limit to how efficient you can become at say - cleaning offices or picking up litter, or picking apples.

The cost of a new hire versus someone with ten years worth of experience just isn't worth it.

Good. We should be in the nuclear age now with an electric infrastructure already in place and looking forward fusion and renewables.

Trying to go from fossil fuels to renewables is too difficult a step.

Why would they need to declare anything? They already are pivoting away from fossil fuels as hard as they can.

It's weird that he thinks of it as "blackmail" though, and a thing that's happening to "him".

Blackmail is when someone has damning evidence against you and they threaten to release it unless you do what they want.

We saw the damning evidence. It's been released. This is the reaction.

When he says “messaging” I know he means the inclusion of those minority characters because he referenced Black Panther as a success.

No, he doesn't mean "inclusion of minority characters" - by the way - women aren't minorities.

What he means - is that they did it in a shitty and clumsy way and a way that was not good quality.

Do you not understand the difference between "including monitory characters" and "making including minority characters your primary focus to the detriment of the quality of the story"

Because apparently "including minorities" alone just isn't enough to keep audiences interested.

Of course, since you only have one interest it's impossible for you understand the bigger pictures.

True. But it was left wingers who killed millions of Russians in gulags, who committed the Cambodian genocides, the long marches and purges of Maoist communism.

So maybe there's something to be said for moderation eh?

One side is pure good and does nothing wrong! The other side is evil!

He's not blaming poor performance on the inclusion of underrepresented groups... Talk about putting two and two together to make five.

He's saying that they spent too much time focusing on "the message" and not enough on good stories. He also blamed it on just making too much crap.

Did you even read the article or just the headline?

 

So my Home display will start playing a video (the news in the morning as part of my morning routine)... Then stop then minutes or even hours later continue.

I also find that it's losing connection to the WiFi very often.

Maybe it needs a reset or refresh... But I'm worried about labour losing all my device connections.

Any advice?

 

I seem to just open tabs and never close them, and then go through a cycle of anxiety wondering why I kept them open.

 

I see these constant horror stories of having to pay to print, silly ink prices, having to log onto a web server etc.

Is there no company that just makes a printer that works, does what it's supposed to, and doesn't play bizarre games?

I think a printer might be useful in my life right now.... but, I'm actually just scared.

 

I feel like some beers just have such a terrible negative affect on me, that profoundly surpasses what most people meany when they dicuss the negative effects.

Whenever I try and look into it, I just see the standard "top ten hangover symptoms" or whatever.

It's increasingly hard to find useful information on the Internet.

Is there a difference? Or are we all allergic to alcohol and just the symptoms vary?

 

I realise I can have a shopping list, but sometimes I want to have some items as a binary option, yes or no.

 

I have been struggling to decide what to do with my old rendering machines.... But they are getting less useful for rendering by the day.

I encountered some Ukrainian refugees in my language class, and some of them don't have PCs.

It must be hard for them to look up information etc.

I want to clean up my old machines and donate them... But won't have a Windows licence. I'm also not sure the best way to install Windows if they will be using Russian or Ukrainian language.

Is there a cheap Windows licence or free for Windows this situation?

In the old days I would have pirated it but I don't want to put them in that situation.
