I would prefer to use Lemmy, but it simply doesn't have some things that reddit currently has. It could in the future, but it doesn't have the user base yet.

They're really gonna play the "men are shit" card? I mean come on.

I basically agree. Those are actually insurance, and serve a purpose. Health "Insurance" isn't insurance at all really...

As you get more and more specialized, this starts to change. If my expertise is selling matts for large cranes, then there are like 3 companies that do that. The companies themselves are no special, but your expertise in that area does have a special alignment with what that company wants to do.

Non-specialized positions, again, make this question worthless.

I think good answers, in this case, are more than "I'm passionate about x". A specific scenario where you were really interested in a specific scientific question related to the job at hand would be much better. Again, useful if you're going to be an engineer at Tesla, not useful for a cashier at Taco Bell.

Absolutely agree.

If you mean specifically health insurance.... yeah this is spot on.

I think it's more complicated for other kinds of insurance though.

As I say every time I see this joke, it's a stupid question when McDonald's asks it, but a good when when more advanced or complex jobs ask it. A person who is passionate about science is a better candidate for a job at an engineering firm than someone who isn't. Plus, the question, done right, is asking "why this specific company" rather than why do you want any job. "Why FLIR instead of Tesla?" is a very different question than "why McDonald's instead of Burger King".

I wouldn't say they were taken care of in this case....

But regardless, that's a hardly an amount that would prevent someone from trying to do this again.

That's helpful to know, but man, that's hardly fair compensation for such a terrible thing.

They're only asking for 38,000? Seems really low...

That's very true. But, it's something that appears to be way more common that it uses to be.

Have you seen her in combat though?

The Bible does not saying anything about killing a family member that thinks about another religion.

How did you fly up? How were you able to select the roof to fly to?

That's funny, good job.

It grinds my gears when people seem to think humble means thinking badly of yourself. It doesn't mean that.

There are a few that have DC 30 and can't be broken. That's not impossible, but it's still hard even with a character built for it.

It looks like the list was created based on name recognition.

I don't know why you think an AI can do a doctor's job.....

I didn't say it isn't a problem, but that the doctors aren't doing it on purpose. They aren't manipulating people for their own ends. "Gaslighting" implies they are.

It is a real issue that needs to be addressed, as is the issue of the wrong kinds of systems and institutions being used (ER for chronic conditions, like you said, for example).

But the doctors aren't doing this on purpose like an abuser who wants to keep someone under their thumb.

I think gaslighting is a really bad term for this phenomenon. It's real, and something that needs to be addressed, but it seems to me that gaslighting is intentional, and a way to manipulate someone else. I don't think that's what is usually happening when a doctor dismisses symptoms as psychosomatic. They're wrong, and their biases play a role in being wrong, but I don't think they are generally manipulating someone to get the desired outcome from them.

From Psychology Today (https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/basics/gaslighting) "Victims of gaslighting are deliberately and systematically fed false information that leads them to question what they know to be true, often about themselves. "

That's different than the doctor thinking they are exaggerating, or that there are psychosomatic causes behind their stated symptoms, primarily becuase of the "deliberate and systematic" part.

Absolutely.

But, as always, the golden rule should apply. Treat those people how you would want to be treated. Don't be an ass.

Maybe I'm just missing some crucial info, but an amusement park seems like a fundamentally different thing than software.

Is it possible to add a firewall rule to block it?

Did they clarify how they track "the same device"? If I replace my SSD, is that's new device? Gpu? Motherboard? Cpu? Get more ram? Reinstall the OS?

And even then, I usually install on 2-3 different devices. And what happens when 10 years down the road I want to okay it again and install it on 2 more devices?

It's a nice sentiment. But.... sometimes they push you away. And sometimes they lash out at you. It's. It's not simple.

Crimes are prosecuted by the state. It's hard if the victim is uncooperative, but not impossible.

That's..... stupid honestly

So .... they raped each other? They could both go to jail?

Most plastics are not inherently toxic.

I'm not autistic, do what services would you like to see?

I didn't say she wasn't an asshole if there was a contract.

14 years? That's very long. Can you link to that?

And where did you get 1/10th the length of occupancy for the notice period? I haven't heard that before.

I see that now! Thank you.

Was there a contract like that? Or was it month to month?

It is the easiest way. It's also the coward's way.

Link?

"failed 3rd world country of Murica"

...Really? America has some serious problems no doubt, but I think the hyperbole just turns people away from any real chance you have at convincing them of your position.

I would prefer they did, but it isn't the most important thing about my phone. My current phone does not, and I really like it.

I was shocked when I found out astarion was a party character. I told him to take a hike because he just tried to kill me. Haven't heard a thing from him. It just let me do that.

You can kill basically anyone, and the game just goes on fine. You face consequences for that, but you aren't railroaded at all.
