America North (Canada) here. Labour laws relatively similar. Is it bad I’ve been conditioned that my immediate response is “bitch leave”. I work in IT. I’ve been burnt out twice in my career second time actually getting a doctor’s note to get removed off on call for an app. Never once did I think of leave. I didn’t know that was a thing outside of the more ambiguous “stress leave” which is maybe what they’re referring to?

Anyways. I’m jelly.

Hello Canada my old friend.

something stupid.

Say no more.

CI/CD If right should be including a try: AI except: no AI

I was going to ignore this but God I really hate the ignorance in this statement. I’m genx. Gambling affects everyone. There are plenty of kids and teenagers and christ that’s who’s being targeted.

It never existed who are you delusional people?! Lol

Yes

I’m in the GTA. Asians here. They fucking love Tesla’s.

It’s interesting because I was talking to my psychologist about this last week.

Mental illness runs in my extended family specifically my best friend is a functional alcoholic. He grew up the son of a functional alcoholic.

We all agree that alcoholism is an addiction, just like gambling, social media, etc.

The problem is that as a society we are addressing the specific addiction. AA for alcoholics. For gambling the government has programs you can admit yourself to.

What I was postulating to my psychologist is the real problem is some people have un underlying susceptibility to addiction. My experience with addicted people is regardless of good or bad if you remove an addiction they will replace with an unhealthy obsession on something else. Alcohol will be replaced with something else because the problem is the person has an imbalance they can’t do something in moderation. I’ve seen this time and time again.

Plus factor in comorbidities like ADHD and you have a stew going.

My point being, yes you’re correct tech is a problem, but it’s 100% the people too in some cases it’s just without the social media their addiction may have been benign so not visible. “Oh look at Mary with her beanie baby collection.” Or “oh look at Jack he really is a go getter running his 10k rain or shine every day.”

Typical Lance ruining it for everyone!

We used to hang out in front of the church on main Street until one Halloween we all saw a crocinole board fly through the air and into the windshield of a passing car. Many of us got to ride in a paddy wagon that night. Fun times.

They don’t have good engineers because Oracle is a law firm pretending to be a tech company.

We call this the IBM business plan.

Like you I’m am now vigilant the devil is coercimg me on my Lemmy.

Oh God I know this will go over many people’s heads but I was listening to a podcast where they where talking about the renewal of CUSMA (or USMCA for you Americans) and a senator said “I’m half inclined to think Donald Trump is ready to make a decision” to which Rob Russo, a journalist, rightly pointed out that was not clarity it is infact the absence of clarity. He then said, and this is why I laugh and the yes/no comment is so true.

“If I told my wife ‘Im half inclined to take the garbage out today’ she would not say that is a clear answer as to if I was going to do it”

Political and Business language needs to fuck off.

Op do I have a song for you.

You’re not missing much. It’s like the difference between getting trashed on red wine vs. beer. More of a body buzz.

You wanna feel amazing do bottlera through the nose that shit wrecks your brain. I will never be able to get as high as I did as a teenager because of that.
