Yup, even killing 99% of the population leaves 8,00,000 people, and many of them won’t develop cancer fast enough to keep the population from continuing.

Ever been camping on a hike? You need to do some basic things that naturally come hp as you go. You don’t need a ton of things, so it isn’t too hard to keep track of stuff on a set schedule. Natural changes in light and weather prompt for action, and you get to look around and explore.

Monthly bills, complicated requirements for insurance, forcing my sleep schedule to fit the rest of the world, trying not to fidget when sitting for hours on end at a desk, keeping track of eveeyone’s names. Those are the things that make life difficult for me. I’m focring myself through it, but it sucks and I only need medication because I am on someone else’s schedule.

If I ever retired I would not need medication. I did fine at simple jobs that didn’t pay enough before getting diagnosed. Hell, sometimes I take leave when my wife and kid are traveling and don’t bother taking meds. Everything important gets done and I actually accomplish quite a bit of optional stuff as long as I can do it on my schedule.

I don’t remember people talking about the metaverse except for mocking the legless mii inspired avatars.

There were a lot of ads pretending to be articles.

Can we jam some crypto and NFTs into that bad boy?

A comparable poster for a regular kid would be standing and facing a corner as punishment.

This poster is describing pure torture for me.

A world where people with ADHD thrive would be perfectly fine for non-ADHD people too. The examples of figuring out new things would get passed to non-ADHD people and is passed down and refined. That is actually how societies have worked until industrialization where difficulty following a regimented schedule and so many things to keep track of made ADHD a disorder.

Lucifer was cast out of hell for forming the first union.

I’ve seen it used in media far more than in person. Mostly for soldiers that stuck around after wars wound down or wealthy people buying fancy homes in tropical locations.

The people I’ve worked with in tech from Scotland and England who have lived in the US long term but without becoming citizens don’t even use the term. Honestly most people don’t really use labels, just refer to someone in tech being ‘from a country’ when it comes up whether they became citizens or not.

Migrant worker is the term for expats who aren’t white.

I’ve never heard the term used for anyone with dark skin or from anywhere other than the US, Canada, or western Europe.

I wonder if enough technicians go to heaven could the pearly gates can be automated so St Peter can finally retire.

They see themselves on an extended holiday of multiple decades.

Democrats don’t learn lessons.

If someone attacks you and you hit them back immediately you are defending yourself agsinst further violence. If they keep attacking you and.you fight back multiple times you are still defending yourself. In warfare that might involve attacking their supply lines and even entrering the territory of the invaders to get them to stop invading.

In warfare retaliation would be attacking them a few years after they stopped invading or attacking non-military targets to ‘even the score’ or something like that. Israel bombing schools and hospitals in response to Hamas attacks would be retaliation, because they aren’t just fighting back.

Ukraine hasn’t retaliated in any coverage that I have seen.

That isn’t what retaliation means.

Saying it is a defense against invaders is being neutral, because that is what is happening. Avoiding a direct statement is the opposite of letting the facts speak for themselves.

Sounds like a modern version of leg warmers, which started as a functional thing that turned into fashion.

So probably a combination of both.

Republicans consistently take the worst side on any issue, so there’s that.

I think that even horrible people deserve to be treated humanly, as in no torture, but not with kindness.

What does the word kindness mean to you?

Do you think Putin deserves kindness?

What about mass murderers?
