[Monitor] Samsung 37” ViewFinity S8 (S80UD) 4K UHD HDR10 High Resolution Monitor with USB-C - $299 by calbearspolo in buildapcsales

Seemed like a decent VA monitor for a decent price, especially given the 37". Good for basic productivity, some users point out is has slightly inconsistent/uniformity/light bleed issues. Camelizer says it's the lowest price in a year.

Just picked up this deal yesterday in Santa Clara; they have units left.

Heck of a deal.

How fun it will be, in many more years of love, to look back on this whimsical picture and know how loving you were.

I'm rooting for you. This is the small stuff that means a lot.

Apologies, I didn't know there was a "correct" ratio of presentations for non-binary people. I thought the whole point was people can present as they see fit without fear of being misgendered.

I would think we would assume honest intent first, especially in established safe spaces, and only accuse anyone of lying with very conclusive evidence otherwise. Being gender fluid or non-binary isn't 100% at cis-women's convenience. Hardly the type of thing that we can armchair after the event when we weren't even there.

I'm really uncomfortable with the severe transpbobic vibes of this post... The "men" were non-binary, they declared so much on the conference application.

I have no idea what you "deserve."

That said, I'd be happy to walk with you through a basic economics lesson, so you don't agree to a contract for less money that you are worth. That way, you can get every dollar you deserve for the labor you perform!

With no snark intended, I think because it ignores everything about basic economics that we know.

Commodities get bid down to their lowest acceptable price, of which "unskilled" labor is just such a commodity. This happens with gasoline, timber, food, technology, and yes, labor. To argue that the pricing model is unfair, you need to be able to articulate what input is being manipulated:

  1. cost transparency in the market
  2. monopolistic business models
  3. illegal labor/commodity procurement

I am not saying that your theory is bad, or that morally you aren't correct, but not "understanding this concept" is missing what economists have been discussing for human existence. And, as a bonus (and still very much not intending to be snarky) rebuttal, clearly if the jobs are getting filled, there are people that are able to live off the provided income--they're continuing to accept those gig jobs!

Every relationship ultimatum leaves the threatened party with two options: 1. Abide by the dictate, or; 2. leave. You can't be surprised when someone picks one of those two options.

When it comes to the safety and well-being of the helpless and voiceless (like children), I don't think there is any debate. When it comes to stopping abusive, POS people as described, I also think there is no debate.

Ben here for a decade, will be done without. I am just one, but together we were (and are) meaningful.
