I just don't like soap operas, whatever the form. My kid does though.

Conserve thier god given right to exploit everyone and everything for thier short term benefit.

Yeah, it isn't a new thing. It's just that the pundits think there are people in dark caves writing code all day with zero human contact. Hasn't been like that for a long time. Coding is the easy part of the job now for the vast majority if competent coders. Figuring out how to balance what the users want, and what the prod7ct manager tells you to do is the really hard part.

It's dead, not eradicated. It's just not what people spend all day doing like they used tp.

Yeah I never understood why ads make so much money. Seems like some kind of gift is going on.

Selling personal data at all should just be banned. It says personal right in the name... Giving away free services with forced adds is exploitation in my opinion. The first step to solving the issue is to require everything have a paid option that gets rid of adds and doesn't sell personal data for additional profit. The hard part with that is preventing them from just setting the price unreasonably high.

Or... do both. Buy premium because you are actually getting something for your money... a platform. And support ad blockers to stop the ads where the product is just a webpage.

I actually have one and tried. But it is too hard to type while walking.

Been going for years. I have exercises I do... but they say it could take more than a year for the soft tissue to correct itself this way.

Yeah, I have the mat. And walking is fine. I can walk pretty far with no issues. Standing still is painful though. And I know it is weak core muscles. But the exercises to strengthen them cause the si joints to hurt 24/7. My pt struggled to find stuff to help. And I do those, but they just don't seem to be enough. As for working up to longer and longer standing times, I have adhd, and such things are near impossible, I've tried. So I need more like physical reminders that can't be ignored. Like belt... could put spikey stuff on it so when I slide forward I will feel it and be inclined to slide back. That is where I was going with this.

Yes, this. The assumption of certain death outside during threadfall, and the supposed inate fear humans have of Thread just doesn't work. If only a few Thread get through for the ground crews, you could just run away. It falls slow enough. For books, you can get away with that. But film would need to rework Thread significantly.

 

So they say that sitting too much shortens your life and all that. They also say that most of us sit incorrectly. I know I do. I constantly slide my butt forward and slouch. And I was thinking, what I need is a seat belt to keep me from sliding forward. But such a thing doesn't seem to exist. There must be some problem with them that I am missing. Since Lemmy has lots of desk jockeys, I figured I would ask here.

 

The wife and I are getting older. We have been working for decades at this point. But we are too young to retire, and we had kids late. But one of us could totally switch over to a lower stress second career. Ideally something with benefits, maybe even a chance to get a pension. And since we still have kids, needs to be flexible. One of our kids has autism, so lots of random doctors appointment and stuff.
We both work with computers all day. What are some good options for a second career that doesn't need to have long term growth potential. We have 8 years where ideally both of us are working so we can cover each other with benefits if something happens. After that, the kids are out of high school at least. So it isn't like it would be a "short" term career/job. Just not a 30 year thing. And ideally, something that could at least partially be done at home.

 

I know the board has some fiduciary duty, but can a company put some guardrails on it when they go public, like saying the environment will always come first, or employees or customers or something?

 

It's been a grey winter, and looking to stay that way. I work remote, so I was thinking of getting an SAD light. But I remember from years ago when I had one (and worked in an office) that if I put it next to my monitor it gave me a headache and made my monitor hard to see. Those of you using SAD lights, where do you put them, how long do you use them per day and all that?

 

what movie has the greatest turnaround. Like all hope is lost, people are fleeing or whatever, and something happens, then everyone rallies and of course wins the day.
Its in tons of movies, usually pretty cheesy. But there must be some that do it right. What are they?
