Oh definitely. It’s naturally easier to give preference to a pretty, smiling face.

In any law targeting people with that amount of power, the consistent enforcement part is the hardest part.

My guess is, a CEO would take it almost as hard to find out they’ve lost 100% of their power because the entity they were in charge of no longer exists vs finding out their lives are about to end.

Especially if the CEO in question was legally blocked from being in charge of any other company ever. They can work, they can earn a living, they’d just be blocked from ever climbing the corporate ladder again.

I believe that if it were thoroughly enforced, this fate would seem as bad as death to the awful CEO’s of the world.

Unavoidable pain and suffering, sure. This is about contrived, otherwise unnecessary suffering to “prove a point” or pay it forward in a negative way.

Strongly agree. Someone has to break the cycle of abuse, it’s wrong to contribute to the cycle so that it can continue harming others in the future.

Edit, one example that comes to mind is the extremely long shifts in the medical field in America. One guy who was really good at being a doctor happened to be someone who voluntarily took on very long hours. Now there is this persistent mindset that every medical worker must accept long hours and double shifts without notice and without complaints.

There are a few cases where it benefits the patient to avoid handing off the case to another doctor, but generally it just limits the pool of people who are willing to go into the medical field, and limits the career length and lifespan of the people who do go for it.

I just like Lemmy more. I could go back and post, I just don’t want to add anything to give them more value. I thought I’d look back at what I’ve posted and commented more often, but I haven’t much at all.

It sounds like shooting yourself in the foot, hoping that the people who are no longer in your life will feel the pain.

So no, don’t create so much extra work for yourself

Using some of the incoming power to run the AC seems reasonable. Especially when the battery is above 75% charged. It would be interesting if the AC would go harder for more minutes per hour as the charge level gets higher.

Haha, that’s awesome!

Has anyone found the places where the navigators work to see how it goes? Has a navigator shared their experience on the web somewhere?

I am very curious as to what they are asked to do and for how many cars And for how much money

Packaging the job as a video game side quest is genius. Make so the gamer has to do several simulated runs before they connect to an actual car, and give in-game expensive consequences for messing it up

That group you overheard were reinforcing their excuses for ignoring the needs of their child along with the needs of the mom, and reinforcing beliefs that have overwhelming evidence of being false.

Kids needs dads in their lives, the earlier the better. Moms need dads to help out and support them.

You’re not taking time off work to laze about, you’re switching from one job to take on several related jobs for a while so that you,your child, and your woman have a brighter future than any amount of money could buy.

You’re only missing out on taking the easy, shortsighted route. You’re missing out on ignoring the future cost your family has to pay in the long run so that you to get to go back to the familiar routine of work. You’re missing out on staying with the known game of work to avoid taking on something new.

You’re not missing out, they are.

Ominous needle drop

I had a phone with a physical keyboard that small. Surprisingly easy to work with.

So changeable keys on a touchscreen, but with physical buttons on top. Sign me up!

Haha, nice. That is a fun game

Would that combination get you “I went to bed in ‘The Cars’ shirt, but I woke up with My Best Friend’s Girl”?

A stereo amplifier taken from a home sound system stack that was… Probably made the 80s? Or else made in the 90s with an already outdated style, IDK.

It’s not name brand, it’s dual stereo instead of surround sound, it doesn’t have any labels about how many amps it can pump out, but as long as I’m in an apartment, it doesn’t get turned up past halfway.

I like that it has multiple inputs, bass/mid/treble knobs, and that the thing just works.

Edited to remove a guess at how many amps it has

Edit, I looked up the model number and found a page of specs

45 watts per channel would be advertised as 180 watts combined, wouldn’t it?

Yeah, I think it’s fun and funny to play with but terrible to try to make money off of it.

Connect on Android has it
