"The reasoning for bringing in AI tools to monitor patients is always that it will make life easier for us, but in my experience, technology in healthcare rarely makes things better. It usually just speeds up the factory floor, squeezing more out of us, so they can ultimately hire fewer of us. " - yup and there’s not much we can do about it without harming a lot of people.
Same boat my friend. Never ever had a xitter account but I made a Bluesky account last week to check things out. My husband deleted his Twitter account quite a while back and has been sorely missing seeing people he followed. I tried getting him here but he really doesn’t understand the whole set up. So I’m trying to convince him to join Bluesky. I have no idea what I’m doing over there but the folks there are much like we were here in the beginning in that everyone is helping each other learn. I do think that the platform will serve as a good bridge to get people learning about Federated platforms. We all have to start somewhere.
I feel like Fantasy Life did this the best though. I absolutely loved this game and wish it would get a port to PC.
Omg when I bought my new Civic the first thing I asked the dealer was how to turn off braking assistance. He immediately doubled down and tried to make me feel like a “dumb woman” and then when I told him only an idiot would rely on that shit in heavy rain or snow he changed his tune. It still pisses me off that it turns itself back on every time you start the car.
My personal one is “Dumb fuck in a truck.”
If you are able to get it I highly recommend Viva Pinata Pocket Paradise. It’s very chill and easy to pick up and put down. I still play my copy from time to time.
"Only thing stopping them from sending hired thugs to your house to shake the change out your pockets is the law. "
This is how I feel about ads. Ads are legal psychological warfare with the sole aim of stealing your money.
That’s weird. The link should be to the Wikipedia entry but thanks for making a steam link too!
Maize, a point and click/walking simulator/puzzle game about a secret military project to create sentient corn. Quite possibly the silliest game I’ve ever played.
This is a fascinating perspective, thanks for sharing your experience. It makes me really happy to hear first hand how this new technology does improve quality of life for people.
I’d like to request Pony Island. Honestly I’ll probably get this even if I don’t win because I love games that troll me.
That was amazing!
I personally had always wanted water cremation but for some reason people don’t seem to keen on the idea.
Oh I love how you played with the light in this photo.
That’s really awful that you had to experience that. You found a very valid solution to a disability that enabled you to learn and got shit for it. Shorthand is a real skill and professional shorthand is not easy to learn. I remember my mom had a professional secretary’s shorthand textbook that I used to love growing up. It was like learning another language and I did end up using some of it in school for my personal notes. Hell stenography is still a valid profession and uses it’s own form of shorthand. You are awesome and your teacher was an ass.
I opened this post thinking the woman in question was some high level C suite worker. Nope she was supposedly working in fast food. This is beyond dystopian. You mean to tell me this fucker walked in a fast food place saw a toddler and an infant behind the counter, recognized that the mom must have just given birth and thought “Yup this is inspiring.” I’m honestly speechless. This might be one of the few instances I’ve ever seen where everyone responding is on the same page with their reaction and rage.
I never knew about how CSD spreads but that makes sense. I don’t see artifacts with my auras. Generally everything becomes too bright and too loud all at once. I know I’m having a bad one if I start writing backwards (I will write the second letter of every word first) or slurring my speech. Thankfully I don’t get super bad ones as much anymore.
My husband is bald but like to use my nice smelling shampoo on his beard every now and again. Pamper yourself.
My theory on this is we use the imperial weights when describing the size in relation to the jail time associated with getting caught with it and then switch to metric for personal use.
If it’s any consolation I am seeing bridged account for Mastodon over there. I think people will get more exposure to the wider Fedverse while they’re there.
