On the drawing too loud, that could easily be an undiagnosed neurodivergent person with auditory sensitivity. People who are unaware of their neurodivergence can sometimes be the biggest assholes about it. I also have auditory sensitivity and it gets much worse and harder to deal with when I'm stressed and/or sleep deprived. In that state persistent irregular noises are much more likely to make me have a meltdown, especially if I can't escape. For someone who doesn't know what's happening and doesn't have healthy coping strategies that situation can easily become a meltdown directed at the most immediate irritant, in this case their child, which is really awful for the child. I was in that position a lot as a kid and it fucking sucks. I hated my parents. I'm not sure I can ever forgive them for how they treated me but I know now it wasn't malicious. Still, the damage was done.

A lot. The answer is it could fuck things up a lot worse than what we have.

Filibuster everything. Literally everything that can be filibustered. See how fast we get rid of the filibuster.

I keep thinking about the experience of feeling body envy towards cis women. Since I cracked my egg I've started to notice I have two distinct sets of feelings towards cis women, which can sometimes overlap, one being romantic/sexual desire and the other being envy for their body and femininity. I think for a long time I conflated those feelings and thought I felt sexual desire towards women who really I just wanted to be, and at other yet more unfortunate times didn't recognize my sexual desire for someone as such due to the lack of envy. It's made me wonder how much of my sexual life and awakening has been colored by my desire to be the women I thought I just wanted to bone. Definitely some at least.

The true answer, which not one single CEO will ever want to hear until the problem becomes so dire it threatens the business, is if all the tools available are hot garbage, it's time to build your own. Generality in software has a cost, and for large multidisciplinary problems like job tracking or ticketing, that cost makes developing an in-house tool for solving your specific problem and your specific use case much more efficient than what any general tool could produce. All those stupid features that some other company depends on, or no one uses, or are only there because someone was trying to capture all possible use cases, can simply not exist. That makes the tool faster, more efficient, simpler to use, and when you realize there's some feature that would be really valuable you can just implement it rather than cludge together some half assed version in someone else's proprietary shitpile. There is a scale where things like jira make sense, but much like cloud services it's a technical trap because by the time you realize the tool doesn't really work for your use case it's too late to switch. At that point you're already past the point you need to start developing your own tool, but the sunk cost fallacy is a bitch and there's never enough funding for that. Pay no attention to the csuite salaries.

I think your experience highlights the main difference, the ability to leave an instance and disengage with authoritarian assholes without having to leave Lemmy. On reddit your only options are to leave or comply.

Wanted to know if they made any real advances in muscle actuators so I looked this up. They're pneumatic, and the model in the photo barely moves and doesn't stand on its own. An article said they will switch to hydraulics in the future. Neither pneumatics or hydraulics is efficient enough to be useful in a standalone human sized machine, so this looks like more of an art piece aimed at fleecing some idiot venture capitalists.
