  • who would do the nastiest jobs if not for pay?

    There are good people who will see a need and fill it, even if it’s unpleasant. I’m thinking of all the wonderful people that showed up to provide care for aids patients during the 80’s when it was still unknown how it spread and intensely stigmatized. That was a hard job but amazing people stepped up because it was important. If someone feels like their work is valued and useful you can get help doing almost anything without money coming into it. We just need to make sure the helpers have their own needs met while they’re doing what is needful.

    But i agree that most doctors are bastards lol












  • doesn’t seem like it needs to increase the electric usage by that much, you only need a RasberryPi or equivalent to run the server, and you control everything with your phone… the outlets and solenoids shouldn’t need much power to do their thing. I saw earlier today how many options for EVs are available in South America (anywhere outside the US imperial core, actually) and it was a bit shocking. The conversion to EV business seems like a great idea - especially if they can standardize replacement parts that would be amazing.








  • The idea of the family is so pernicious when it is used to justify abuse and avoiding responsibility and consequences of bad behavior. Cutting people off when they’re consistently being harmful assholes shouldn’t be contigent upon blood relation or any other kind of personal or group association and all the people selling “family is forever” or “traditional family values” are doing it because they themselves are the abusive asshole that doesn’t want to be cut out
