I really doubt volunteering fills the same need. They want to feel like they're contributing something back to the family that is taking care of them. They want (and deserve) a paycheck for their work.

And the problem is companies don't want them compared to a neurotypical employee for the same wages.

I just switched from Plex to Jellyfin. Aside from a few minor features like intro skipping, I don't miss it.

I think Apple was more to blame for that.

Whether or not you meant it this way, your argument has been used to downplay important social issues for over 100 years, probably a lot longer.

I've heard "Why spend so much effort on X when people are dying out there?"

Where X is womens' voting rights, Black rights, sexual freedoms, political freedoms, and religious freedoms just off the top of my head in the US alone.

If you did mean it with good intentions and not as a debate tactic, know that we can work on two things at once. To use the US as an example again, most of those things I addressed were indeed improved and it's not like other things just fell by the wayside. We vastly improved food safety, workplace safety, hunger, infrastructure, etc. at the same time.

That's what I'm using. Lovely keyboard. Aluminum frame feels high quality, keys feel good, and design is very minimal and understated.

You have to drill or cut into the skull for plenty of medical procedures. I don't think getting a dime sized piece of skull removed at the crown of your head means your head explodes when you hit it on something.

As for the charging thing, there are plenty of solutions. Wear some kind of headband for one.

Chihuahuas do this a lot and it's really fucking annoying.

That's the human condition. All suffering and joy is relative to our baseline, and that baseline changes very quickly.

I believe Kingdom of Loathing used iframes extensively to achieve what looked like a "dynamic" page long before that was a thing.

SoR is really good, and has co-op!

They don't like the short top, her hair, or the tattoos.

American conservative christians are generally anti-tattoo. They like things like long modest dresses, suits, clean short haircuts for men, etc. Very bland and conforming.

If I understand it right, the Jewish God came from a pantheon, and didn't just respect other pantheons. Like it was equivalent to a group of people who worshipped the Roman gods and then said "Yeahhh, but we're going to pick Vulcan as our main guy."
