That checks out.

u/over_clox@lemmy.world asking dumb smart questions.

Two things. Number one, get a different job. Also many job requirements include things not specified. For instance cleaning my workspace isn’t specified in my job description but I’m pretty sure it would be bad manners if I just didn’t and one of my workmates got stuck cleaning my workspace.

Secondly as others have pointed out, it may not be what you’re saying but how you’re saying it. Human psychology plays a huge role in everyday life. Same as the brakes in-between patients situation. Personally I would go to the stairwell or bathroom or something. Out of sight, out of mind. Sitting around in eyeshot of people who are on their feet too much will naturally foster resentment even if it’s legitimate.

Final thing, just out of curiosity who’s job is it? Because it sounds like you and them need a better working relationship and communication with one another to avoid these scenarios all together.

We have investigated ourselves and found no wrongdoings. I don’t have high hopes, blue lives > homeless lives and that’s about the situation the whole world round. Problem is humans are tribalistic and their tribe is more important to them than justice or truth. That is unless the guilty party is already disliked by said tribe and they’re looking for an excuse to exile them, then you get something looking like justice but isn’t.

They know English so violence isn’t the only language. Jokes aside, there are mental health and poverty services but it is lacking in most areas and full of scammers. It’s not like all 350M are rabid subhuman violence monsters who need to be wiped off the face of the earth violently to prove how not violent everyone else is…

Unfortunately there’s a lot of very wealthy people rednecks would very much dislike to be lumped in with who are also maga. Also there’s a growing contingent of loud and proud redneck democrats/ leftist. Living in the woods and smoking meth is for everyone these days.

Americans who are paying taxes that is. If you’re not paying any tax you’re probably not supporting much the US government is doing.

You can use a terminal browser a la lynks2 or w3m

Two years later, how’s the switch been?

Two years later, how’s the switch been?

Two years later and you are correct.

Yeah if your machine can be added to a botnet then it will be. Resistance is futile, we are Borg style.

That’s a fair additive although it can be difficult to define the boundaries. Particularly tech can have a far reaching influence and arguably global influence these days. If the scope of the policy is narrow then I can imagine that being functional, if the scope is potentially global then that may become an issue.

Calling democracy mob rule is really old. I would at least prefer representatives to be scientists or otherwise the most informed on the subject and policies they are deciding on. I would also prefer all policies to be tested to see if they actually create their desired outcomes. I would prefer the desired outcome to always be increasing human and environmental wellbeing.

He’s not the first but I was thinking about that. I can’t remember the critic but early on in the American experiment someone described it as mob rule.

Similar but I would prefer a representative democracy but where the representatives need to be national experts on what they are deciding. So for instance if it’s medicine then the representatives need to be physicians and medical scientists, and previous heads of hospitals. If it’s dealing with the environment then the representatives need to be environmental scientists, civic engineers, and so on. Aka have the most informed people for that which you are trying to make decisions. Even better, have their policies reviewed by a body of their peers the same way scientific publishing works to get a measure on how good or bad their ideas are. Even better, test their ideas when they’ve been implemented to see if they’re actually working.

Yup just tell group X who dislikes thing Y or group Z that X and Z are bad and you’re in like Flynn.

And it’s “free speech” protected by the constitution, god I love citizens united /s

As always the most valuable natural resource isn’t gold or diamonds, it’s minds. If you control enough minds you control the world.

That’s why democracy is also known as being ruled by the hordes of idiots. It’s amazing when people are well informed on what they are voting on, the problem is that’s never happened in mass and never will. People will vote based on their feelings or just straight up not at all.

If you want system usages to be as low as possible you can skip a GUI all together, just use viu, mpv, w3m and such or you can look into projects like DSL (damn small Linux) and puppy Linux. If you’re trying to maintain a mostly normal experience you can look into efficiencies in compiling your kernel and software a la Gentoo.
