A lot of them are small things that stand out in the background, like coil whine as somebody else mentioned

Too bad many of the people in my generation who grew up with GTA games stopped caring since we're all middle aged now anyway.

Also the impact of a new rockstar game today is very different from what it was in the 2000s. There's so much to play now that waiting a year isn't that big a deal when you have a giant library of Steam games.

My dad is a retired driving instructor and has come across people similar to this. Undiagnosed learning difficulties are probably part of it, but in many cases the people that struggled also had English being not a native language. Maybe it is the combination of the two in these extreme cases

This is something I realised a lot talking to my therapist over the years, that one of the reasons I was constantly burning out was because I was usually 100% task focused and people would be amazed at how much I got done all the time. But most people kind of just naturally tread water or like basically just do enough to make it seem like they are not doing nothing. On that baseline, I also came to the same realisation as you. The whole of the working world is based on just about passing as not incompetent and then people do what they like the rest of the time, but nobody explicitly tells anyone this because then the illusion would be broken I guess. Everything is performative, the stupid evaluations or target setting they have you do is just stuff you know you can do anyway normally but you slack enough to make it seem like it's something you 'worked hard for'.

The plus side is when you realise this, it means you can gradually start to give yourself a break. Obviously it varies based on the nature of your job, but I'm talking about stuff that isn't super high stakes.

Sigh. Unfortunately there's a lot of misinformation around this topic that gets people riled up for no reason. There's plenty of research in healthcare decision making since Paul Meehl (see Gerd Gigerenzer for more recent work) that shows using statistical models as decision aids massively compensate for the biases that happen when you entrust a decision to a human practitioner. No algorithm is making a final call without supervision, they are just being used to look at situations more objectively. People get very anxious in healthcare when a model is involved and yet the irony is humans alone make terrible decisions.

The problem is that in theory the workers also are supposed to own the factories and get a slice of the profits. This is what shares are for. Unfortunately, in practice, a larger and larger chunk of people seem to be getting excluded from that bit.

My experience was the opposite of this unfortunately. Everyone hated me and even the people who didn't avoided me because I imagine being associated with me devalued their social standing.

Tip: find a photo of the look you want and show it to them rather than explaining it.

Absolutely, there is an obsession with increasing lifespan yet so much that can be done with so much less effort in terms of making people happy and comfortable for what life they have, yet this is generally neglected.

For the sake of argument, what would you call a seat that was not next to the aisle? I'm not defending them but at the same time I'd understand window seat just means 'against fuselage', yet I agree this is a confusing term.

Nope, literally the opposite. Need to deal with things right away or they make me anxious

Since nobody seems to have read the article:

Following the unusual birth, Krispy Kreme has offered Dallas, and, more pertinently, his family free doughnuts for a year and will throw Dallas a birthday party every year until he’s an adult.

There are plenty of mechanisms that can be employed (as there already are in many countries) to ensure profit is not made from essential living. You either own or have strict rent control which tends to mean many properties are publicly owned. Recreational stay is different, it is part of a hospitality industry which provides an additional service on top of what fundamental housing provides.

I'm my case it was an autism diagnosis but otherwise yes.

Because the US doesn't make engine immobilisers mandatory like the rest of the world does

Still prefer V. I think VII actually looks interesting to me but until they iron out the early issues I'll hold off.

I would re think your seating posture. You're probably trapping a nerve or something which means your posture is not relaxed. Also consider alternating between sitting and standing especially if you're playing electric.

Literally what regulation is for though it has become a dirty word ever since businesses have essentially started running the world in place of monarchs
