*explaining to my son my idea of having a giant dog rescue where all the dogs are trained to sniff out various diseases and you can pay $100 to walk through and have a dog diagnose you by scent*
my son: you could call it “plague dogters”

The ADHD TAX is an insane thing that Neurotypicals can never comprehend.
people without ADHD don’t understand how EXPENSIVE it is to clean the house. If I put it away I will literally NEVER SEE IT AGAIN and now I have to buy all new stuff and my house is EVEN MESSIER

Just to note-
While I understand some folks may feel exhausted by hearing about this;
This kind of thing has to be continually talked about and brought up so it CAN'T just go away like they want it to.
These companies want this to stop and be less painful for them, so-
Don't give them that.

Polite reminder to keep calling payment processors and fuck with them.
These companies should not have any bearing on what people can create and make money from, and until they back off, we need to make it as painful as possible for them.

He tried to hit me with the "Well if the platform's primary service is for explicit material then it would be blocked."
So I asked why Steam, itch and Patreon were targeted when that's not their primary service.
Amazingly, a more productive call than visa

Oh my god the PayPal call was SO FUNNY. The guy on the phone was like "We don't allow processing payments for explicit material."
So I hit him with "So if I were to go and purchase a copy of Game of Thrones online, my payment would be blocked?"
I think it clicked for him then.

Yes, these are all objectively awful games, but that's not the point. It's the principle that these games should be available. All games should be available. All books should be available. All movies, music and comics should be available.

My union made a QR code to put on badges so nurses could easily and quickly report missed breaks to the state. Doing so has the hospital paying them out like crazy and rushing to fix the missed breaks problem. They won’t fix things until it hurts the bottom line

I introduced a type of compass that always points to your home port instead of to magnetic north. Handy enough, but with a decently spaced set of three pointing in different directions you (a smart Sea Captain trained in the Lore) can triangulate your spot on a chart: Fantasy Medieval GPS

I am surrounded by people who are outsourcing their own thinking to ChatGPT and they are quickly and obviously becoming dependent on it for even the most banal tasks. Once again, the "figuring it out" is the important part. Yes, you can use a crane to lift weights but you will not get stronger
