They’re uncomfortable laying down so I usually don’t wear them at home

Is the only thing you do at home is lay in bed? I do plenty of stuff at home that requires me to have my glasses on all day.

I put them on in the morning and take them off before bed.

She was also an unabashed atheist, which is why she was able to promote the idea of selfishness being good.

What's funny is it's the mostly Christian right-wing which has embraced her.

I guess they're okay with atheism as long as its playing for the right "team."

They also keep thinking I'm talking about the services they provide, and not, you know the actual fucking servers those services run on. Surprise, the servers themselves also need an operating system and the "server" you create is a Virtual Machine that lives on their actual, physical server and its OS.

Every day I learn more about how people don't actually understand how the internet works.

AWS and Azure are services

A lot of people seem really confused by this, based on the number of downvotes.

I'm basically in the position that I'm driving a car from 1999, and when it finally dies, I'll either be resigned to riding the bus or finding another aged used car without all this absolute bullshit in it.

Maybe it really is time for the Free Open Source Vehicle.

Happy Labour Day to people who are not landlords. in c/[email protected]

Happy Fake Labor Day to the Americans, because their government wants to hide real labor day from their citizens so they don't have to educate them about the Haymarket Affair.

Labor Day being in September is absolutely about erasing labor history. If more people knew labor history, more people would understand why All Cops Are Bastards.

What, you don't want to shift gears endlessly while stuck moving between 10 mph and a dead stop on the freeway for three hours?

Attention spans getting shorter isn't just because of television/social media. It's because of workplaces and expectation to always be paying attention to multiple threads. (lemmy.ml)

I'll give an example of a low-level job where this happens. Pizza delivery.

You're hired for Pizza Delivery, but the business refuses to just pay you to only deliver pizzas, so technically you're also "on-call" to do every side job the the pizza place any time you're not out delivering orders. So you can just return from an order and be told to go to the back to prep X, Y, and Z, but you need to be listening for the bell in case you need to run up front and deliver a pizza. If you're walking past the front and a customer comes in and everyone else is busy? Drop what you're doing and take their order.

Every instance is always a "drop what you're doing and shift to a different task" and it goes on all day every day.

It literally teaches people to be distracted and unable to focus, because you're literally not allowed to fucking focus. Say you're finding your Zen place in doing dishes, you don't even get to finish the fucking dishes, because you're called back out to do more stuff in the front of the house. Later, you have to stay late to finish the dishes because it was too busy to ever get a chance to do them. Because fuck having someone who is just a dishwasher or just a pizza delivery person. We can't be paying people to sit around, tHaT's InEfFiCiEnT!

Actually, what's wholly inefficient is having people run around all day like chickens with their heads cut off to keep up when you could just accept that once in a while you're going to pay someone for doing nothing for a little while.

Studies always turn to blaming this inattention on social media, but literally our workplaces drive into our skulls that we're not allowed to focus on any one thing for an extended period of time and we should always be at the ready to shift gears into something entirely different, and come back later finish what we were working on. It's fucking absurd, and I think workplaces have a far more damaging psychological impact from it than fucking social media.
