  • To clarify, I was asking for his M$ account details. And when I needed to get the verification codes out of his email, he kept giving me a password for what he thought was a working account.

  • I've meet younger folks like this, but they are usually acting too entitled to do things for themselves. When it's someone from an older generation, they actually start asking for help, and when we guide them through the process their remarks are usually about how simple it was.

  • The issue as I have presented isn't one of "Old People Dumb", but one of the idea that older people shouldn't refuse to learn about something because they are "too old". Or enabling that line of thinking. I recently had a customer buy a new computer for me and paid for a setup. I needed account details, and he had no idea what his accounts were, his passwords, just that he wanted his computer setup. When I asked for any passwords to get the setup done, he didn't know because his kids set all that up. If the kids took a moment to show him what was going on, how things worked, maybe he would have had an idea when he needed it.

  • I actually like most of the people in the middle. Those are the people who figure out enough to become type A. The rest I can tell are trying, so I'm not worried about them not becoming Type A.

  • Working in a store with a self-service printing center, I can tell you it's a lack of wanting to learn, or even read. Instructions are spelled out on the copiers, but many of my customers will demand someone to help them before even looking at the device because they claim they are too old and not tech-minded enough to do it themselves. Actual excuses to not even trying.

  • I'm a sales supervisor in an office supply store, and I get this ALL THE TIME! I once had someone argue with me over the name of the cable connectors and wondered why I didn't know what they were talking about. Then they said, and I quote, "Well, to me that's what I call them, so I'm going to just keep calling them that."

  • Instances that Permit NSFW Comms?

  • There was another one once, pornlemmy. Not sure what killed it, but it also no longer exists.

  • Mark Robert is a good one. Most of his stuff is made for kids around that age.

  • I was working from home for a couple of years and had a mixed appreciation for it. While I was still driving my wife to her job in the morning, it was nice to come home and start my day. Less gas and all that. But not having coworkers around, and not enough separation from the home space sent me stir-crazy often. My wife had a ride home from work since my schedule went past hers, and I would be trying to go places or something after work and she just wanted to chill after her retail management day. But since I was laid off and had to re-enter retail management myself, I wouldn't mind a hybrid situation if I had the choice.

  • Anyone have a traditional dish that they love to eat?

  • Much of what you said I agree with, but let me say that an independent license with less restrictions will be way more favorable and harder to secure than a location license. An independent license should not remove regulations, but remove security. Being licensed through a house should guarantee the availability of condoms and such, security personnel, testing, and so on. An independent license should require std testing regularly, but also means a John/Jane has to sign a waiver that they understand this is an independent.

    I also would like to state that a house should never be run like strip clubs are where the strippers are independent contractors who have to pay the club. Workers should be employees just like ia regular job. Just a license.

    Another point should be that a worker needs to be responsible for their own license renewal. The license for renewal (on time) should be free if you are in a house, and tied to the company that owns the house. If a worker gets a better offer at another company, a new license is required, but not if it's a transfer of locations within a company.

    And in the point of the company, there should be limitations on how many houses they can own, and how many workers in each house. Maybe that can be at a local level, like I can't have a house called Billy's House of Poon right across the street from another place I own called Madam Sapphire Day Spa. Zoning laws. I live in an area that saw an explosion of dispensaries after weed went legal, and now most of them are all owned by corporations that have no problem opening new shops in the same market. Avoid that.

    I could go on, build out a framework for all the legal stuff, but I'll keep it simple.

  • Regulated with provisions for safety. I'm all for the idea it should be in a specific license location, like love hotels or massage parlors or something like that. No going to someones house or a different hotel.

  • I volunteer for a museum, and sometimes it is like a camp for adults. It's a flight museum and we maintain antique aircraft in a flyable state. Sometimes I get to fly, and I'm always finding opportunities to tell people about how awesome these planes are, and the history behind them. And what I have heard from others, different museums are just the same, like being in camp.

  • My mom says that people who don't have "value" don't deserve to live and that "depression" is just an excuse for laziness. What's is your rebuttal for it?

  • Ask her what "value" is.

  • What is your personal little luxury you aren't supposed to have?

    Jump

  • High sugar makes me tired, and if I don't drink plenty of water, I wake up with a headache similar to a hangover.

  • The stigma of being a feminine male has left me broken, dysfunctional, and afraid to leave home. How can I get past my fear?

    Jump

  • I know you said you can't leave because of family and stuff, but you do need to be somewhere that will get you away from the abuse you are getting. Get an apartment in your town, that's a good start. And travel to the closest city to you. Central Ohio? I was in Columbus recently and was really digging it out there. Take a day trip or two every so often. Get out of that atmosphere.

  • What's a sci-fi thing you feel is achievable with our current level of technology that you'd love to see become a thing?

    Jump

  • I will agree there. But the mining and manufacturing potential is rather insane. We could make money back rather quickly.
