Jul (they/she)

Yeah, a quasi-moon doesn’t even orbit the earth, it’s just orbiting the sun on a similar plane an happens to be nearby. But due to it’s small mass, it cant stay for too long before it’s flung out again. It’s only the Earth’s gravity that’s keeping it around a little longer than usual, typically, anyway. There’s lots of types and thus lots of scenarios.

Yeah that’s the issue…too many for anyone to ever want to read and my inability to pick just one as they’re all “top-tier” thanks to the AuDHD combo. 🤣

It’s just ironic that the meme is using a question that someone like me can’t answer in meme form in a forum for someone like me, so great job to the OP there. Reminds me of the horrible looking socks that the horrible Autism Speaks org sells with thick seams not only in the toes, but down the side (which I’ve never seen before), despite one of the stereotypical major things that Autistic people can’t stand is bad socks. Just so ironic as hell that I dont know if they are making a point with them or more likely just dont understand Autism at all since they’re just around for the money and making parents feel better about being bad parents rather than helping Autistic people. <\rant>

Too hard to choose the first one. These memes need to have a single option for an individual not hundreds. 🙃

Sucks that the US shut down much of it’s more modern weather infrastructure via the DOGE initiative so these kinds of things are necessary. Can’t let modern weather radars and satellites prove climate change.

Sounds like a good way to impersonate and use the reputation of someone who’s active on other platforms. Just like the “verified” stuff mostly just means you paid, not that your identity was verified which is always confusing people who aren’t careful, often used/confused by right-wing “news”.

With Monty Python’s Flying Circus theme playing 🤣

Yeah, but this will make it much easier and using much better algorithms to make it more realistic because OpenAI will start profiting off of it and devoting resources to it which they have way more of than the existing systems.

That’s going to be a disaster. It’s going to overly reinforce toxic sex understanding due to lack of sexual education. Most porn already does that, but is limited by what a human body can actually perform. AI will be able to make what is essentially sexual torture look like it’s what someone should normally expect sex to be like and make it look like the recipient is enjoying it…among many other issues.

Despite living with one arm, Jess doesn’t see herself as disabled, saying the barriers she faces are societal.

Actually, this is what disability is all about. It’s not that people can’t complete tasks or take care of themselves, it’s that society doesn’t provide the same tools to disabled people that they provide to so called “able bodied” people to allow them to complete those tasks.

It’s the trope of the single grocery store that everyone goes to, but the person in a wheelchair, but otherwise able, can’t use because there’s a curb. So, suddenly they can’t feed themselves. It’s not that they are unable to feed themselves, it’s that they can’t access the food without assistance and thus are “disabled”. As soon as a ramp is installed they are no longer “disabled”, just differently abled.

I’d say change that to treatment rather than cure.

And add the fact that it’s nearly impossible to get regularly due to what is now obviously intentional shortages and the strict controls combined with PBMs restricting the ability to shop around for places with it in stock. So you can’t set up a regular reminder to take it or even actually take it regularly even with a reminder.

On the way to the world of “Carole and Tuesday” where all music is composed by AI and owned by big corporations, so it becomes nearly impossible for a small artist to enter the market. And that show didn’t even really cover how now literally every chord that is pleasant to human ears can be not only copyrighted, but they’ll know exactly what songs and how to sue every single independent artist for copyright infringement and it will be totally legal if not very ethical. There will be no legal songs outside of one or two corporations.

Yep, I didn’t realize I was AuDHD but my friends had assumed I knew. Most of them are some form of neurodivergent.

It was promising for a while, better quality streams, better payments to artists, etc. But they never ended up implementing stuff they promised like better integration with devices or improving their catalog.

It would reduce their short term revenue, but would improve their long-term revenue. Netflix used to have a great product, but they fiddled with it to make people watch only certain content that brings them more revenue. Same with Spotify. This then reduces the number of people willing to pay for the service and since there are few competitors that are better and/or have as much content they “piracy” is the only way to get the content you want for a reasonable price, with a good user experience.

So short term these things improve revenue, but not as much as the revenue lost in the long term as people start to dislike the the poor experience or are unable to afford the higher prices. And people don’t want multiple services to have to check for new content all the time all with different poor Ux.

All valuable data should be backed up off site in “cold storage” type places. It’s not that expensive compared to the production storage.

I have some leftover small plastic cubby shelves you can rearrange that sit next to my laundry. There were enough parts to make 2 cubbies. Works great for me.

I always think in what you labeled as “bad day”. So everything seems harder than it is and takes more spoons. That’s why I need Adderal and coffee every day.

It’s been used as an excuse to lay off people, but not the real reason. They were looking at ways to short term boost stock prices since stock buy backs caused their stock prices to increase, but that boost is fading, they needed another artificial boost to profit to maintain those stock prices.

I was undiagnosed as a kid. Right now I have a formal ADHD diagnosis, but I’m 99% sure there’s also autism in there. It runs in my family and my psyc and therapist definitely agree, just it’s very hard to diagnose as an adult and the few doctors who could always have long wait lists. And maybe that’s for the best in case I need to flee the US (I’m trans) and resident visa processes don’t usually take kindly to disabled people. I take Adderal for my ADHD, and that gives me the spoons to deal with the anxiety much more. So I’m more able to mask in public. And I have a friend group that I don’t gave to mask much with.

Point being, I had the opposite treatment. My parents just threw me to the wolves so to speak. I would get panic attacks being force to go to the store myself, especially if I was doing something I knew was wrong, like my step-grandmother would always try to get me to pick up cigarettes for her when I was a child/preteen. Breaking rules always was difficult for me. Or being locked out of the house and told no dinner and no coming back inside until I learned how to ride the bike they got for me. Meeting new people, driving, etc., same issue.

Anyway, although I see the disadvantages to coddling, I think I would have preferred that extreme to the opposite extreme.

I mean that applies yo a lot large corporations. They’ve mostly stopped innovating and started cutting costs in order to squeeze out some money from the company before it dies. And I’m sure she knows that. It’s likely that she’s there specifically to destroy the remainder of the company. After all, true information is bad for fascism. Gotta keep the people in a constant state of poverty and lack of services, and then blame all of that on some other small, vulnerable group, so their followers will stay distracted and one-issue voters will vote for things that are bad for them as long as were torturing ,murdering, and/or deporting the people they think are the cause of their problems rather than the ones they voted for.
