Room for one more…

I’ll take a wild guess that he maybe wanted to build distance between himself and the phones, especially if he does this repeatedly. For a few phones, radiation and tissue heating is not an important consideration but for 100 phones it might be.

What’s the point then? And what should satisfy the op? What would be enough?

It’s heavy but I still miss when greentext got honest like this. I feel like there’s very few places left where people are “anonymous” and express their deepest thoughts.

Whether true or not, thank you for sharing op. I hope you got some help.

Why do you say so?

I don’t like that comment by op. This structure is pretty standard and I think it’s clear that if the manager was the problem that the options to discuss with higher ups or 3rd party HR are also there. Their comment that 3rd party HR is there to protect the company is also only a half-truth as letting these issues run rampant is a huge liability to the company itself (as we’re seeing right now). HR would not doing its job properly by pushing issues like these under the rug.

Even worse, saying that HR always takes the side of the employer is a meme that discourages employees in bad situations from pursuing their very real options. This perception could have continued to her situation. If HR doesn’t do their job, you can always escalate further.

I think the point is that the fear of not being able to get it out easily would lead your jaw muscles to clench up. So somebody would have to basically trick you into thinking that the imitation is real.

The majority of airplanes are equipped with HEPA filters. As in, removing 99,97% of particles over 0.3 micron in size. The unfiltered air is fed in from the outside. It’s pretty clean and not a consideration for allergens like peanut particles.

This is a critical piece of the puzzle and I love that you pointed it out. Bare necessities aside (shelter, food, etc), we start out with a set of win conditions (from parents, friends, etc), but ultimately we can determine them ourselves. In most democracies, nobody can tell you how to live your life.

Connect is perfectly fine. I just used sync for a long time and like some particular things about it (e.g., being able to jump from one comment tree to the next reliably and quickly).

Why single out Bernie Sanders then? Aren’t there a million people that have access to even more “luxurious” things that a majority can’t afford?

What’s so special about him?

Yup, I’ve tested windows->steam deck so far. No reason to believe it won’t work the other way around (paths seem to be compatible at least).

The 100$ is very much a premium tier with nice to have features. The ad free version is around 20$, which is still steep but you’re paying for lifetime ads.

I’m fully for supporting ljdawson and this app - the former version of which I’ve also purchased.

So, I was really surprised when I saw that the gdpr consent form had some of the worst dark patterns with the opt-out “legitimate interest” for each party.

The first time I was so excited to have sync again, that I just confirmed selection. Stupid of me. Second time, I spent minutes opting out of each individual party’s “legitimate interest” - after giving consent.

No idea what this means or if ljdawson knew (he’s the dev though), but this really soured my experience.

I think I’ll still purchase, but this sucks.

Edit: I’ve since purchased the ad-free version. I want to give ljdawson the benefit of the doubt and maybe also chalk this up to the beta state. I just quite dislike dark patterns.

Your username is made on instances. So yeah, you can’t just switch. However you could just recreate the username on a different instance though.

I mean, seeing as this is not yet a reality… Have you looked into lucid dreaming?

It’s a dystopian extension of what it could be if society continued on a bad path. In truth I’d absolutely hope that there would be better options at that point, because society is better. Right now, drugs are simpler and maybe even saner than engaging with reality fully.

Well, in a world that has technology this advanced, you could maybe make your body do actual work in the real world (controlled by your employer) but you would still experience the virtual world as op has explained.

Sounds like a black mirror outline. I shiver at the idea.
