Hello, I work in retail in Australia. The shopping malls I’m at all have “quiet time” for “people with sensory issues” every Tuesday morning from 9 to 11:30 am. It is as you described, and I agree with you.

Now I’m not sure where I stand on the spectrum but I’ve heard colleagues say they also prefer the quiet time, so, there you go. I just don’t understand the point of bombarding people with music all the time especially for Christmas.

I guess it’s implied that somebody else is making a profit out of the pregnancy, since the mother is brain dead. So if it was a normal thing to do you could imagine clinics perhaps, buying brain dead women and then offering surrogate pregnancies. Or maybe I got it wrong?

It’s not an amazing meme and I’m not sure I agree with it, but in my understanding it is trying to say that we, Lemmy users, are experienced and not naive unlike Reddit users.

You are probably right though

This doesn’t work… It’s like saying there is a fine line between strength and opening pickle jars

They aren’t even adjacent either…

Not the person you replied to, I agree with your interpretation but then I’m confused with the post title. “Fucking Vegans”?.. Um…?

And the meme?

Something tells me that if the headline turns out to be true, people will find a workaround.

I can’t do that with my thumb. Mine goes straight even if I press to force to bend it backwards. It’s the only finger joint that doesn’t overextend, all my other fingers curve backwards nicely and even more so if I apply pressure.

Bending the thumb forwards (opposite as in your photo) is a different story. The joint can bend past the 90⁰, easily 80⁰ or more if I press it against something.

Isn’t this the same for hands?

I don’t believe an artificial object can become sentient. But even if it does, no, I’m not afraid. I’m afraid of the damage AI already causes as it is.

Ah so your last hundred job applications went nowhere? Here, have this short time gig

Your last million tinder swipes got you nothing? Here, have this guy for the summer

I wish life was this considerate

This guy always shows up with his hands like this in news photos

I know it’s irrelevant but I had to point it out

You’ll probably break them, and even if you don’t they will taste a bit like tomato sauce. High risk of getting them stuck to the pan.

Okay so I know not to ask any Patricks or ghosts to do pottery with me from behind. Hate when someone else controls my desktop remotely

I don’t have an answer for you, but I like the photo

Ugh yes these artists, so mean, so evil, greedy and disgusting, they don’t deserve being paid not even a tenth of the minimum wage. 60 bucks isn’t enough to cover that 12 hr job you say? Where do you live???

Come at me brö

Depends on how you define the “league”. Most people tend to think this is looks. For others, is wealth. For others, status, or a combination of all of those, or something else entirely. And the reality is that no two people have the exact same standards, so exactly what’s acceptable and desirable will vary. You will always have averages and outliers within whatever you arbitrarily decide makes your league, and so will others.
