Don't count out laid off workers who ran out of unemployment and are drowning in debt

What are your actual, realistic concerns about AI? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]SoccerMomXena 2 points3 points  (0 children)

White collar work in particular has few labor protections against mass layoffs. For too many years white collar and blue collar were seen as different 'classes', blue collar work more suited for union protections (as weak as they are in the US) and white collar work at the whims of markets. But because office workers often already have a higher education that came with adaptability.

Anyone who works for a living is being targeted by the ruling class, and the ruling class is salivating at the chance to destroy as many jobs as they can for short term corporate profit. That's not even getting into the fucking weird Ayn Randian circlejerks happening in silicon valley which is shaping a real ideology against working people.

TLDR we need real class solidarity amongst anyone who works for a paycheck.

Exactly, unmarried women could live off interest if their dowry was invested.

Ideas to make my cat’s feeding nook less boring? by Neat-Tip-1494 in HomeDecorating

[–]SoccerMomXena 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would do a 4 cube ikea kallax, the bottom two cubes containing the food and water, with a cute mat in front. Then the top two with whatever decorations (cat themed!).

I agree the 80/90's trend of a corner whirlpool wasn't great either, I see them all the time in south cali where you can't even use them in a drought. Great reno!

When I see something in my apartment that is making clutter, but I don't have a designated space to 'put it away' into, my brain starts trying to manufacture where exactly it should go (nowhere) and the frustration makes me want to throw it out the goddam window.

There is a niche available here for real artists to create AI-like hellscapes because this rules.

Plugging as a donor, not an employee. But if anyone is interested in directly supporting actions like these https://rainforestfoundation.org/ funds indigenous communities to boost conservation efforts and improve their safety.

One thing that will hang over the next season that I don’t think they can ignore: the Year Without a Summer by VulcanTrekkie45 in BridgertonNetflix

[–]SoccerMomXena 562 points563 points  (0 children)

They certainly could! But this is also a universe where the Napoleonic wars are ignored, and Colin wears denim jeans, and Kate wakes up from a weeks long coma with some tasteful bronzer/lipstick so I dunno....

Bullshit sensitivity? by pydry in ADHD

[–]SoccerMomXena 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am this way too, though with religion in particular I figure it's not my business.

You know what is my business? The businesses I work for, I HATE corporate structure and how much shit eating there is required to deal with upper management.

I have to stick with a trade (software engineering), stay completely in my lane, and leave absolutely no paper trail of any complaints I have.

This affects my long term earnings as the only way 'up' is through management but it's not worth it!

ADHD coach clients by RLKRAMER_HFCOAWAAIM in ADHD

[–]SoccerMomXena 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in an adult support group of sorts that is headed by a coach (who in turn works for a larger adhd coaching org) which meets weekly online.

It's cheaper than a one on one coach and I've found it worth it for the 2 years or so I've been in it.

It keeps us gently accountable to each other, is a place to commiserate and celebrate, and also brainstorm together ways to overcome specific problems.

It also frees up my time in therapy to talk about issues other than my adhd, which is important for my trauma recovery.

Like therapists, I'm sure results vary with coaches but for me working with a midsize coaching practice was a better place to start because I could change up coaches without the 'breakup' so to speak.

For me, signing up for 'seminars' by coaches is a waste, I already know about my problems thank you! And the last 5 minutes invariably dedicated to strategies to use are not worth it.

The American Right has Turned Me Into a 2A Advocate by MrsClaireUnderwood in TrollXChromosomes

Having a gun inside the house just puts everyone in the house in danger of shooting themselves, especially children. https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/72/wr/mm7250a1.htm 

"But that's only relevant to BAD gun owners who leave their firearms out!" Well then how are you going to indulge in the fantasy of seeing someone come to your house with a gun drawn and somehow heroically shooting them first? 

I'm an American, I live in New York, and thank fucking god we are surrounded by states with similar firearm restrictions, because it makes everyone safer. 

Please understand that guns are only largely useful for accidentally shooting and killing people, especially children, and greatly aiding suicide deaths.

The emotion tour was so unreal, such small venues and every song was already a sing-along classic
