Ageeed. If random burglar, dud cameras and the “secured by” lawn signs are plenty effective. The appearance of security is a sufficient deterrent for all but determined robbers, or those targeting you specifically (where a camera will not do anything for prevention anyway).
I think this might be it. The worst version of capitalism is the selling of nothing, loudly haha
Very agreed! I’m not much of a video watcher myself, but I do appreciate a well composed video. As I said to another commenter, I think I was just trying to express that sense of “icky” lol
I hope it didn’t come across as critical of content creators, I think I was just trying to share this sense of… icky lol. I believe genuine creators exist and aren’t just trying to make a quick buck :)
To the second part, strongly agreed. I just wanted to enjoy simple things and not have to produce all the time
Is it just me or does posting videos to try to get views FEEL even slimier than standard capitalism? I sometimes ponder starting an influencer channel and immediately find it feels grosser than it does to offer a service/product for money. Just my perception?
Not to mention they started as a car lovers brand and are now just corporate for “I’m important”
Thanks for sharing - the more I know. Wasn’t aware of much of it
Did Depp get accused of more than the Heard thing? He went through a trial and was cleared, I personally don’t think he deserves to be dragged, but that’s just me I know others disagree
Literally mind boggling. I made a correction and was wrong by a factor of 10 because I couldn’t accept it was that high. But she showed me a screenshot of the report…
That’s actually really cool to know. She was fairly confident they use the SNP method (it’s a third party provider), and described it the way you did. Sounds like full genome is possible but she didn’t think it likely, your explanation would support that.
Also, I made a correction to the numbers…I was very wrong lol
My gf works in human remains identification. On the bottom of the DNA identification reports, they have a certainty estimate:
1 in 19,000,000,000,000 (trillion) chance of being incorrect.
So if that’s any estimate of how many variations there can be, I’d say chances of repeats are pretty low lol
Note: I didn’t believe her when she quoted 1 in 13 trillion, so she double checked the next day. They seem… confident
Correction: I talked to her again, and was completely wrong, because my memory refused to accept the real number:
1 in 200,000,000,000,000 (trillion) chance of being wrong.
And to the commenter that commented about common identifiers, you are correct. She’s fairly confident they use the SNP method.
Absolutely! 😊
I’m sorry I didn’t respond sooner, I just wanted to give this the time it deserved :)
I agree the man-up mentality needs to die, or at least be dialed back. It’s not inherently bad, tough love is a thing, but our society has taken manning up to an untenable extreme. For the record, I think the meme did an excellent job of putting a truthful light on the current reality - it definitely got us talking!
I agree about DEI, and love your comment about equality. Ppl often forget that equality means for everyone, and I think men are villainized as a general punching bag (punching up?). In this respect, I think men maybe pay a price that is overlooked for the more tangible equity issues (e.g. pay and service access for minorities)? But I’m cautious to bang that drum too hard haha just thinking it through.
I see what you’re digging at about therapy, and it’s possibly a perception issue on my end. It’s hard to tell someone they need therapy at any time, and my sensitivities may just be coming into play there. Therapy can be incredibly helpful.
Women absolutely get saddled with unfair emotional labour. I think it’s a bit of a downstream effect of unhealthy male emotions, in that men are taught to clam up and hide from feelings for decades, then get into relationships with women who just want the best for their partners. Men finally have a safe place for the first time in their lives, and BOOM all of it comes out with no skill at managing it haha. I’m not excusing this behavior, it can lead to some bad outcomes. I think there’s a balance - ppl in relationships need to do their fair share or emotional labour (relationships aren’t always 50/50, sometimes they’re 90/10), and men haven’t been taught to do their half. But at some point, they also need to take accountability and learn to do their half, dang it (see tough love lol).
All in all, I agree this is a stupidly complex topic, and I agree we proooobably won’t fix mens’ relationships with the world and themselves in this conversation, but we can try! That said, I’d be very happy if we could find a way to meme our way to a better place for everyone :) thank you for digging into it with me!
I have a first gen, and it does. There was some coding stickiness, and (i haven’t been able to solve) a key that the fingerprint reader doesn’t get access too. The effect is that it logs you in and then you get a pop-up that asks for your system password (though you can start using right away). I’m only a junior level coder though, ans just haven’t solved it- others might have.
Imo, the framework might mostly meet your spec. I came from a 2012 mac and the build quality and feel are the best I’ve seen in a non-apple laptop.
One comment on audio, I find mine can be tinny, verging in crappy. This may have been upgraded in more recent models.
Finally, I know you don’t want AMD, but they have an AMD AI motherboard that I thought looked very interesting, at least for complex processing. Perhaps it will be of value to explore further? Just a thought.
Happy shopping! :)
Haha sorry in advance for a long response, I love psychology and am a strong male mental health advocate :) TL;DR: I don’t have the answers, its getting better societally but that doesn’t solve it at an individual level, I believe loneliness and being heard are major contributing factors.
I’m hard pressed to give you a good answer on that. I think it’s more socially acceptable for men to have feelings, but maybe it’s hard for the crop of men 30+ to understand that due to their upbringing, and seek help (it’s getting much better for Gen Z, I understand). So maybe the options are there, but the “man up” mindset persists?
There may also be an individual element to it - the willingness to learn about our own feelings after decades of “man up” can be perplexing at best (I’ve been blessed with some wonderful women in my life and it is still in my blindspot all the time). I understand there are also many women that expect their men to “man up”, not to say that’s the norm though.
I don’t have a good answer for you on the last point either. I think go to therapy is great, but i find that being male and our problems can be wildly isolating and lonely experiences - being told to go to therapy is kind of “take your feelings over there”. At the same time, until men are able to build healthier communication with their loved ones, I think it won’t be solved (which is where therapy does help).
My understanding of this problem is that there’s still a very strong cultural impetus that males aren’t allowed to have/share their feelings. In a way, even “go to therapy” is dismissive, in that the ppl saying it (often those that care about them most) don’t want to be bothered to address their feelings, or the precursor(s) to the depression, directly. Acknowledgement is definitely a step in the right direction, but I think there’s a ways to go. Just my $0.02
I am wary about invoking Apple here, but say what you will about the company, there’s a lot of value in a braindead setup process. Many, many users just want something that just works - it was literally something I asked for when Linux was recommended to me (knowing some hate Ubuntu, I’ll out myself: using Ubuntu Budgie - setup was super simple. I guess there must be demand for that niche in the broader Linux community, so that’s a very smart move by Bazzite.
A little late, but if you have ppl over her head that have a positive opinion of your work, and the hiring manager is looking for info on your work, you could just explain the situation to the hiring manager and ask if one of the even higher ups opinion would be acceptable? If no, gonna have to play very nice with the old manager, and I still might recommend explaining the situation to the hiring manager in case of a bad reference behind your back
Snitching has a convenient shorthand (snitches get stitches), to my knowledge there isn’t one for genocide. Maybe the just don’t know!!
