I do not literally build buildings. I design them, I document them for construction, I collaborate with other people who do actually build the buildings to make sure everything’s on the level.

Speedballing

None of these are legitimate, professional replacements.

sounds like a skill issue

What exactly is your intent here? All you’re doing is further alienating people from even trying Linux when you act like such a shit about people’s genuine issues they might encounter with it.

Mixed DPI multi-monitor support. This coupled with a severe lack of robust CAD and design tools means that it can’t be my daily driver.

I’m mostly just shocked at how bad a vast majority of white collar workers are at writing.

I think there’s a difference between a disability and your race and sexual orientation.

Hrm, your first sentence is a little odd there. It seems to insinuate that there’s a desirable ‘roll’ and not one that we learn to love and embrace (as a form of self-actualization). Even though I was born generally disadvantaged that doesn’t mean I’d want to change the person I am since it’s all a part of me.

Oh no worries! I just assume that everyone else isn’t from the US on Lemmy so I try to contextualize where I can.

There’s a lot of historical and cultural baggage with that term in the US. Specifically concerning its use in reference to house slaves and then freed slaves during and after our reconstruction.

I was referred to as ‘the help’ once. It was said seriously and the person who said it did not see issue with it.

“None of this matters.”

This is terrible advice.

Yeah sure, I don’t care. But the Italians in the other room might lose their shit if they find out the Germans ruined their casserole with unholy German egg noodles.

People have had success with a watch alarm. The vibration of the watch alarm seems to work better than just sound alone. Might want to try that if you haven’t?

Interesting. Mac and cheese, it seems, evolved from the pasta and cheese casserole dishes of Italy and England popular around the 14th and 15th century. While kasspatzen seems to have originated from around the areas of southern Germany with no mention of it as a dish until about the 1700’s.

Curious that.

Speaking as a straight cis male who’s on the verge of asexuality, it’s been incredibly difficult and oftentimes alienating having discussions of sexuality and sexual insecurities with my other cis male friends because a lot of the discussion tends to veer into vulgarity or jesting. Then there’s the conversations you have with your partners and sometimes some of those partners implying that you’re not ‘man enough’, etc.

I understand that a lot of this is due to toxic masculinity but I’ve gotta say, it’s been pretty tough.

Because this is all sci-fi woo woo and the honest truth is that we have no fucking clue how memory storage, learning, experience, or recollection actually mechanically work in the mind. At least relative to how an electronic device could interface with, let alone, augment or manipulate those mechanisms.

On top of that, our current system has proven time and again that you cannot trust an entity whose sole purpose for existence is to extract wealth from the resources around it (i.e. people). Not especially for something like this. It will need to be regulated, standardized, limited, and controlled by an external coalition.

I mean, you remember it for being annoying. Others remember it for being traumatizing.

We can hardly get our self-designed computer systems to adequately communicate with each other or function. How confident are you that we can design an appropriate interface with our brain? Something which we still have yet to fully decipher?

In no way do I want venture capitalists and tech bros fucking fumbling around in my brain with hardware designed and constructed by the lowest bidder.
