Time to earn some dosh.

I think you’re underestimating how many people want to work for the government for the perceived benefits. I’m saying they have the stuff already set up, in fantasyland it would be a fairly smooth transition.

If we’re talking total fantasyland, I suppose put those employees to work building a government backed alternative or an open platform to allow smaller companies?

Suppose you had a centralized federated system where states or municipalities or even companies could have their own drivers but it’s a common app?

Edit to add you could also have both driver and passenger rate each other and allow both to filter by rating, lower ratings would naturally pay more or less to compensate for the service. I bet in cities you’d have luxury versions of the same services all from the same app, but also cheap shitty services too.

This would be a welcome development, I feel like social media is something you use tech to do, but it’s very rarely an interesting conversation about the tech itself.

Like how a grocery store has food but you wouldn’t call it a restaurant.

To my knowledge there really aren’t any downsides to a diagnosis, as a matter of fact you may even have new legal protections under the Americans with Disabilities Act, or ADA: https://autismsociety.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/ADA-Fact-Sheet-1-1.pdf

You also have a right to not disclose your diagnosis per HIPAA, so long as you wouldn’t need an accomodation.

You’re the only person who will ever advocate for your own well-being. A business has an entire workforce that advocate for their well-being.

Just got back into replaying Cyberpunk 2077 and I’m very glad a significant amount of the launch issues have been addressed. It’s taken a while but it’s finally playable. Still a bit upset they didn’t deliver on the futuristic GTA experience I was expecting, but I’m at least having a good time.

You and me baby ain’t nothin but mammals. People are just animals reacting to stimulus, as much as we’d like to think more of ourselves.

But what’s his goal? To be right? Or to have his needs met? If he just wants to be right then by all means, technically OP did what they needed to do, they set a boundary and expected someone close to them to honor it. But OP’s needs still didn’t get met.

You need a job that feels like solving puzzles and requires little human interaction. Here’s a list from indeed:

The other alternative is to just get whatever job you can and see how you like it, there’s no punishment to quitting, you’ll just be where you are now.

“Can you not let the dogs tangle?” sounds like you’re telling people what to do. Normies typically get offended by that because they wanna feel like it’s for them. If you rephrase it to sound like they’re doing it for you they may be more receptive. “I’m worried the dogs might get hurt, would you stop them from tangling?”

Not quite, if I go to download the new Dune 2 trailer right now (3:03) the 1080p version is 23MB, 720p is 14MB, 360p is 7.5MB, and 144p is 4.3MB.

Resource Wars Volume II is not turning out how I had imagined it.

Doo Doo Doo, lookin’ out my front porch.

Well… You’re talking to someone right now, keep doing that until you find someone you like talking to so much that you wanna do more than talk.

I agree with you that he’s better off than most people, but do you consider a boomer who bought a house for $150k in 1980, that’s now work $1m in 2023, to be upper class? Technically there’s plenty of upper middle class people worth $1-2m.
