There doesn't necessarily need to be just one. You can have a few that cover an industry that are bigger than an employee specific one while still having competition between unions. For example I work for the NHS and there are multiple

Interesting that remote working is one of the key demands. I wonder if this is what will finally get tech workers to appreciate the value of unions.

You have to use some metric to define 'intellectual' and those all seem like reasonable ones to me. I don't see why you'd consider most of those as appeals to authority. Teaching at Harvard and tenured Professor perhaps

The voice thing still surprises me. I have a constant monologue and I honestly can't separate that from "thinking". I was always aware mine was more random/silly/manic than most and likely faster, basically a chatte

Can someone explain to me fees on American banks? And the % card surcharges other comments are talking about? As someone from the UK I've never heard of banking fees except on debt facilities and the only surcharges I've seen are

There are a lot of us normal workers who dislike WFH and we're not parasites. It's perfectly valid to prefer WFH but it's also valid to prefer the office.

Was about to ask the same. I'm one year in and had a glorious month following reinfection in August but seem to have rebounded the last week or two.

I always hated football myself but if he's into it look up the stories many coaches/managers tell of how they recognised future top players early on because of their discipline/work ethic. Those might inspire him more.

> And “nobody else cares” shouldn’t be a _major_ part of that argument. I disagree. Nobody else caring is a strong indication the skill isn't that valuable. If nobody else cares and he can't see a reason to care himself then wh

But in this case if everyone thinks that way and buys an SUV the world in general is less safe for your family and you're in fact to safer from having a bigger car, if you ever were which seems to be debatable.

The important difference though is that most security camera's aren't publicly posting the footage. I'd expect most people to be upset if a shop started live streaming everyone that went by the street.

It's also why hyperfocus is common and more extreme in ADHD. You can't always control it but when you do get into something everything else becomes a blur and you can go for hours because that high burst of dopamine obliterates ev

I read recently that they're starting to view hyperactive and inattentive as different presentations of the same symptoms/root causes rather than different types ie the same things that make hyperactive ADHD not sit still make ina

by ck425 3y ago
Could that be a learned adaption to ADHD rather than a directly caused trait? Or just hyper focus? I do have a pet theory that many of us ADHDers develop habits to overcompensate but do so early enough that we don't realise they'r

People are shocked when they see how many tabs I have open. I just checked and I've 21 windows each with atleast 10 tabs, but the more frequently used one are 30+. But it really does help. I also group them by topic and when I need to

Huh interesting. What caused that? I can see the concerns about teens vaping but an outright ban seems pretty authoritarian. Admittedly I don't know much about Australia so maybe they're more authoritarian than the stereotypes mig

Do you really think "anti-work" is the prevailing ideology in Western society? I'd argue the current popularity of "anti-work" sentiment is a backlash to the dominant "work is everything" ideology we'

Sounds like you're over it now, any idea what helped? I also developed long covid as a healthy 30 y/o white male, but haven't been able to kick it after 8 months.

Hmm I've noticed the delivery service thing at times. But my perception of business's that don't take card these days (post pandemic at least) is that they're more likely to be slightly dodgy and skimming the books. That

She said she wasn't but she was clearly linked. The anti-abortion protests that lead to the law in the first place commonly claimed to be "prayer vigils" and she went into the buffer zone, outside an abortion clinic to pray.
