Came here to say this. Hopefully the systems in place are resilient enough to handle a leap minute (especially since they already exist), but it would definitely cause some instant issues.
The average person probably wouldn’t notice, but anyone working with time sensitive equipment would.
She should go see a professional counsellor, not self-diagnose and use it as an excuse. Seems like she’s mostly lonely and attention-seeking from this side of the Internet.
Powerful people tend to have few people in their lives who are interested in them instead of their power.
I’m on lemmy.ca and not having issues.
Yeah; they got the read that you were feeling awkward with silence, but they didn’t want to be asked questions about their life.
They were opening up about themselves, not implying something about you.
People who actually listen are rare.
This is the answer.
How do you get there? Well, there’s country clubs, having your kids at the same expensive riding club, being a board member for the same orgs as them… but those are all expensive.
Cheaper ways? Faith based groups, dog walking and… attending conferences.
All of them require you to reach out to them as people, ask about their lives, and actively listen to their responses. People generally don’t want to hear anything about you, so you don’t have to be that open.
I think what you’re not getting is that dogs are neurologically wired different from humans, and so experience the world differently.
So a dog’s sense of self is different from a human’s, its sensory inputs are different, and its language processing is different.
It’s kind of like those AI models a decade or so back that were really good at identifying where a picture was taken — and then it turned out they’d mapped the relationship between the geolocation numbers in the EXIF data and weren’t looking at the image data at all.
There’s also plenty of discussion of public libraries, but since they’re all independent of each other, it’s not a unified discussion. Nobody online is going to recommend their local library to a random person from who knows where.
As a counter example, all the free/pd stuff on archive.org gets discussed pretty regularly, as does Wikipedia.
Maybe it’s that when it’s free, people just use it or they don’t. You don’t get people saying “Hey, did you see this awesome free article on Wikipedia?” because everyone already knows that Wikipedia is CC; instead, they just mention Wikipedia without mentioning it’s free.
Probably means you know somebody mildly racist.
An English nose I could understand, but Britain already implies a whole melting pot of lineages tied to location and not ethnicity.
They’re the ones silently benefiting?
Also town town, mountain mountain, and my favourite, river hill mountain town town.
Youtube Tom Scott, and then lose a few weeks of your life.
Implicit in that question is “and is young” - but I bet there’s lots of us attractive older people in here :)
The show is essentially about toxic work culture. It explores all the tropes with the twist that a person’s work consciousness is completely severed from their rest-of-life consciousness; one has no recall of what the other has done.
This is only for the workers and doesn’t extend to managers.
