sh4un··on ADHD Accommodations Guide
We need to demand equal representation of ADHD people in politics, media and in the boardroom.

We're in oppressive times folks. Non ADHD people shoudlnt be running everything.

sh4un··on Locked-out New Zealanders outraged as visa scheme for rich foreigners resumes
In countries like Canada a lot of people signed up for government benefits and went back to their origin country to stretch their free money and then got stuck when the money stopped and the government stopped letting people back in.

The people you hear whining are not the people leaving for medical reasons. It's almost a sport watching people on the news complain about their ruined vacations.

sh4un··on Some simple game theory of Omicron
Too much politicking and propaganda with this one.

If unvaccinated people aren't allowed to go anywhere or do anything, and most places are touting high vaccination numbers, how are the numbers skyrocketing?

Vaccinated people infected other vaccinated people but no one is dying. First time around we were at people getting covid and ending up in ICU and then dead.

sh4un··on Locked-out New Zealanders outraged as visa scheme for rich foreigners resumes
It's funny because most countries have cautioned people not to leave right now and people just go anyways. No one is shedding tears when you are stuck because you couldn't wait for your budget vacation.
sh4un··on Will Machines Replace Us? Machine-Authored Texts and the Future of Scholarship
After watching TV, yes, I hope machines replace us.
sh4un··on Ask HN: Have you ever found a capable freelancer on Fiverr?
All these fiver guys are really bad, lots of them just copy and paste or provide you with stuff they find on the net.
sh4un··on Now DuckDuckGo is building its own desktop browser
The best is the furniture maker splash screen.

My wife says what does it have to do with the internet. I told her Mozilla has conflicting priorities.

sh4un··on Tell HN: AWS appears to be down again
Damn you all eggs in one basket.
sh4un··on Setting yourself up for success before trying Fedora Silverblue
It's been my daily driver for a while now, and I have been meaning to replace it with standard Fedora.
sh4un··on Arkansas waitress fired after getting $4,400 tip
People who have never had a job before don't want to believe you.
sh4un··on Fund Science on the Basis of Scientists‘ Work, Not Their Identity
But aren't they resorting to identity?
sh4un··on People Are Wearing Dangerous Radioactive Pendants to Ward Off 5G Radiation
No real loss. Right?
sh4un··on Inflation in the Housing Market
The problem, and why we will not see any solution any time soon is because people now want to live outside reality.

It's not that there are no homes, it's just that everyone is fighting for the most desirable homes and the most desirable locations, and the homes all must be detached.

You can still get a decent townhouse or semi detached, but God forbid having to live in a townhouse like a refugee.

I have had some smart friends pick up and move because they could either buy a house with their savings or sell what they have and buy a new home cash with money left over to pay off debt.

It's like the average guy complaining about the gas mileage on a Ferrari.

sh4un··on About 2 months ago I went to review a product I bought from Amazon
Amazon is horrible for reviews. You can't leave Bas reviews for a lot of these 3rd path vendors.
sh4un··on Sexual assault has already started in Meta’s Horizon Worlds metaverse
It's horrible to see someone horribly raped like that. I think due to men perhaps we just need stuff like original women only media and media companies.

The problem is only going to get worse, and this poor woman is going to be traumatized for the rest of her life. Who is going to pay for her PTSD?

sh4un··on The rise and decline of thinking over feeling
But far less straw then your feminists.

I hear there are fortunes to be made doing alterations of men's suits to fit women.

Dress for success, or dress like your oppressors.

sh4un··on The rise and decline of thinking over feeling
But is this just feeling?

We live in a world where we believe things to be wrong just because we want them to be or feel they should be.

The real problem is that no one wants to be wrong, and no one wants to accept anything they don't believe in.

It's very weird when some feminists believe that women should dress, act, look, talk, and be and do exactly everything like a man does and it will solve all the world problems, and the other feminists believe turning men into women will solve all their problems.

The best part is when we started creating AI computers, we had to stop them from thinking logically because they quickly were able to be bias based on this.

Humans are irrational, but this has been proved right here already.

sh4un··on Ask HN: Have you accepted the TOS that give FB access to your WhatsApp data?
This. Exactly.

Problem is that everyone knows the spyware issue, but if you leave WhatsApp, install every secure messenger that no one you know uses, you'll be a lonely guy.

Real security it turns out is just not communicating.

sh4un··on Ask HN: Have you accepted the TOS that give FB access to your WhatsApp data?
I don't run Facebook, Instagram or WhatsApp on my phone.

I am not sure how hard it is to grasp that some people just don't use any of it. But I guess this is where you come to virtue signal about virtue signalling.

Besides, when you boot up your phone and you see the Android logo, you're fucked anyways.

sh4un··on Ask HN: Strategies to land fully remote $250k+ job
If you are worth 250k companies find you. I used to get companies calling to offer work because I was able to prove my worth and have companies refer me to other companies.

Harder for you to put a number on your head and try to convince anyone you are worth it.

sh4un··on Arkansas waitress fired after getting $4,400 tip
I've tipped beautiful women like I have tipped old men. If you can do your job then you get a tip.

Seems like people do a lot of projecting.

It's crazy to think all patrons are pervert men and all wait staff are sexy naive little girls.

It's ok to just admit you have never been to a restaurant, it's easier than sounding like some sort of Jack ass.

sh4un··on Data shows boomers are responsible for the labor shortage
I am not sure about this. If you look at jobs available, they are the jobs everyone walked away from, and sales positions.

Did any of you notice all the 'boomers' were missing at work in your technology departments?

sh4un··on Ask HN: Why are there so few single-letter command line utilities / tools?
Fat fingering could be fatal.
sh4un··on Hidden Pentagon records reveal patterns of failure in deadly airstrikes
I don't know what people expect. This is a problem that goes beyond the armed forced. This is a general problem across the board as companies and governments are forced to recruit and hire people who are barely qualified.

Every time we have to drop requirements to appease some SIG we lose quality.

At one point I was told I would never be able to fly fighter aircraft because I didn't have 20/20 vision, however now a days, you can be completely blind and they will let you fly just to avoid discrimination lawsuits. Lol.

Bombs away.

sh4un··on Gaming on Wayland
Sometimes Linux is about just doing because you can, not because it makes any sense.
sh4un··on Arkansas waitress fired after getting $4,400 tip
This is not as easy as you think.

I have met some wait staff that has gone to school for hospitality and while they make shit pay, I have had friends easily making about $2000 a week and they don't want to go to a wage system.

I have never waited, but I get the point, if you do good you can make good cash. It's the same with comission jobs.

Where tips suck is if you are at a dead place, cheap place, or you are a lazy shitty waiter.

Good service gets good tips. If you are on your phone making TikToks when you're supposed to be taking an order, and you smell like an ashtray every time you come to the table, that is why you have shit tips, and it's the same reason no one would hire you at some sort of normal wage.

Some people believe they are not paid for their worth, but it's actually heartbreaking to think how many people will flat out say NO to a job that's an actual career.

It's like when Uber drivers get upset that they don't get full benefits but lose their shit when you mention spending 5 hours a week driving around isn't really a job.

sh4un··on Nextspace: a desktop environment that brings a NeXTSTEP look and feel to Linux
Reminds me of how old I am. I fondly remember wanting one of these. UI was very similar to GEOS.
sh4un··on Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Twitter Account Gets Hacked
As much as I hate social media, and the fact that I am not a white man is why I will break your heart with this awful truth.

Alt-left is just as bad as alt-right, but I'd rather sit in a room with a racist and talk it out rather than a leftist. At least the racist will generally make sense and can be reasoned with even if you hate them with a passion.

My socialist neighbor wants to have come colored people as his pet project, but seems to be quite the racist when it comes to us doing better than him.

The capital riots were nothing more than some degenerates tricked into putting the final nail in the Trump admin.

sh4un··on Internet uptake has accelerated during the pandemic
I remember telling my dad that the internet is serious back when it was reported to have a million users. We used to argue because he thought it was just a passing fad and everything was fake.
sh4un··on Driverless cars will change our world
People are still driving cars from the 70s because they can't afford new ones. Imagine being able to afford drivers cars.

I think most people call that the 'Bus'.
