My employer insists that only Windows is acceptable, which makes my life in software engineering very difficult. No Mac, no Linux, only WIndows. I had to fight tooth and nail to get anything else and now they are still trying to get me to go back to using Windows because "we don't support" anything else.
Then same was true of forums and IRC
When IRC was entirely people on command line clients that existed on *nix. But that has changed with the ease of use of clients for Windows, and then eventually web clients.
Reasonable? That should've been immediate arrest.
Waze is “I want the most aggressively quick way; no back street is too small for me.”
It's as if Waze assumes you have an OHV and can take literally any trail wide enough to fit your vehicle, ground clearance and obstacles be damned. I love it.
Watching some woman lose her mind at Costco because the attendant refused to let her drive the wrong way through the pumps and made her go get in line properly while I was pumping my gas was so wonderful.
I don't hate gas stations, but I do hate people who don't know how to pull up to a fucking gas pump without completely cocking it up for everyone else!
People are dense. You straight out said this man needs more complete care to ensure that he can be helped because his condition could be more serious than if he were female, and they read "more thorough treatment" as "no treatment" like morons.
CVS MinuteClinic is for super minor stuff. Doctors are for more serious things.
There are different regulations regarding treatment dispensed directly by a pharmacist than those dispensed by a physician. Under 16 would generally have to be seen by an a doctor, often a pediatrician.
We call that a "deductible". Mine is $1200. So it's more than yours, but it's not quite the same as having to pay for everything out of pocket.
If I take an unregistered, uncertified, uninsured vehicle to a place that has no roads and I get myself in a huge pickle out there, you can bet your ass I will be billed for the rescue. And probably fined on top of it for fuckin up the environment in the process.
Also as a hiker, I have a satellite comms device in case my ass needs rescued. And I have SAR insurance, because my ass cannot afford the bill.
Except that I don't touch literally everything else including my food with my butthole, though. And it's not as if I never wash my butthole. So if I happen to be in a public shitter and I drop a deuce, I will simply apply shit tickets and not freak out about it.
You don’t need to make an account for other instances.
Until that community you subscribe to on another instance disappears because they defederate from one that your account is on due to that other one not being a safe space.
I tried behaw first, but I only gave it 15 minutes of waiting before trying to find a new server and now I’m here.
I gave it a couple of weeks, never got an email about whether my account was approved or denied. It was as transparent as mud. I mentioned it on IRC, and someone said "Oh just keep trying different servers." Initially when I looked at the list a lot of them expressed that they were for people of leftist political leaning, for various countries specifically, LGBTQ+, POC. Joining a server was a complicated process of "What do I join? Will I be welcome there? What is their process? Why am I not seeing any answer?"
Then there's finding communities. You can list them, and for all instances, but then it's quite a massive list to sort through. Searching is hit or miss, and depends on knowing that you have to specifically try to search all instances. Community names aren't super easy to discern so you have to try various forms of your search terms. And trying to do the "reddit like" syntax of /c/<area of interest> only works on your present server, so unless you know the exact name of the instance you want to try that community on to use the @<lemmy.instance> syntax, it won't work.
He has mistaken having a lot of money for having leadership talent or any useful skill that would be valuable in a situation where infrastructure has completely collapsed and fiat currency is worthless. He is not physically strong, he doesn't inspire people to follow him, he doesn't know how to find and prepare food, how to source water, how to build shelter, how to make fire...
He knows nothing at all that would make him useful as anything beyond "that guy who digs graves" until he eventually dies from the physical exertion that his candy ass has never actually had to deal with.
