I think many of these classifications are caused simply by doctors refusing to say "I just don't know" and patients refusing to accept that they really don't and probably never will...

Take IBS. We are supposed to believe that there is a disease with no known cause, so many possible triggers and influencers that anyone can find some that fit and wildly varying symptoms... something similar could probably be said for many other "syndromes". Of course all of those people have something else or a combination of something else but nobody wants to admit they just don't know and everyone wants a diagnosis.

This. When people talk about their rights they almost never mention anyone else who's right are being infringed upon by them exercising them and what the priorities of the rights are...

It's such a simple concept really. But some people and groups of people are just so selfish they would rather designate entire classes of population as less-than-humans to get around this.

Wait... 20h old and nobody picked up un the fact that the thing on the picture is actually screw and you'd need a screwdriver for that?

You mean the one that got to power after the entire previous government died under suspicious circumstances during a plane crash in russia?

They pulled similar shit on Belarus-Polish border. Flew couple thousands people from Iraq promising them asylum in the EU, then walked them across the fence and closed the gates behind them. When Poland refused to let them in and some people froze in the fields in between border crossing it made Poland look like monsters in the media rather than Lukaschenko, so it worked like a charm.

This can be used by pedophiles is used as an argument to ban cryptography... I wonder if someone will apply that to the generative AI.

You could also say the employees choose to work for the company that's not paying them enough. Of course they have constraints in how many jobs there are and how many other job seekers exist and which jobs they are qualified for... but then the problem complexity explodes to "how do we build a fair society" very quickly.

The only people that keep doing what they were doing when I call behind them on my bike are the ones that are walking in a group side by side blocking the entire width of the pathway...

Unfortunately there are enough websites that are broken and don't work in Firefox... and some of them I just cannot avoid using (company tools, recruitment platforms etc.) because I am position where they can just tell me to use Chrome or GTFO.

Depends on your expectations... I personally liked Atlantis but SGU somehow failed to captivate me. Both shows somehow fizzled out without really leading anywhere (you could say the same about SG1 but at least they closed up the main plot lines before opening a bunch of new ones which didn't really have clear purpose).

Edge is not the default in work environments. My old company was a MS shop and they still were forcing everyone to use Chrome because - of all things - MS Dynamics 365 web interface was buggy in other browsers (including Edge)...

But that is exactly the problem with the federated media... there is no one place to find something - there is thousands of places to find thousands of different things. You don't get that one wonderful resource where you can come and expect that no matter how niche your question or hobby is you can always find someone who can relate or help you... you are left wandering from place to place searching, always wondering if there is the right community for you somewhere or perhaps you should just start a new one.
