  • Raising a child, supporting family and friends in need, being a positive and supporting coworker. I oppose shitty conservative policies that negatively impact others and while I’m not successful in everything I do I have an overall positive impact on society.

    I don’t make apps that suck money out of the childcare system and encourage price fixing. I see that as massively worse than any positive benefits the person who created the app provides to society.

    What benefit do you provide to the world?






  • Calling something the uber of anything is a huge fucking red flag. Uber is well known for exploiting its workers, skirting laws, and other shady practices. Why would we believe this will connect people to quality affordable healthcare?

    This exists to make the Salyer rich. It is not a benevolent setup if she refers to herself as an entrepreneur. This is her inserting herself as a middleman to suck money out of the childcare system. The app already encourages the providers to price their services based on the surrounding area, which is either encouraging them to be underpaid like uber drivers or to inflate prices so Salyer can take a cut, or both. It is already bragging about manipulating prices in that article.

    So many red flags, I just pointed out the obvious.






  • If you have a blood pressure measuring device, follow the directions.

    To ensure it is accurate, take it to a medical professional and ask them if they will help to verify the accurracy or what they advise. One person I know did this and the nurse they saw took the pressure a few times with their cuff, had the person run the machine a few times, and told them how to position themselves for consistency. The nurse was able to confirm the device was a couple digits off but otherwise consistent and gave them person the ranges they should worry about when using the machine.

    The nurse also noted that a precise value is not super important, just whether it is outside a safe range or has large changes in a short period of time because blood pressure changes constantly. Taking it the same way each time is the most important thing to help notice changes over time.



  • Does matrix handle livestreaming with a half dozen friends as easily as discord? Chatting and sharing with a few friends is all I have ever used it for and would hate to lose that ability.

    Discord is dogshit for larger communities for sure, and I stopped trying to access game specific ones after trying a few out.






  • Yes, that would be the best outcome and comparable to early US settlement where most towns had rail to connect each other and most people even in small towns didn’t maintain their own horses. Of course travel back then required a lot more planning, which is why automobiles were able to successfully promote themselves as providing independence because they do. They do provide independence, and I can attest that as a kid when cars were easy to maintain they did provide independence in rural areas and still do!

    They don’t provide indeoendence in congested cities suffering from urban sprawl and loss of mass transit, which is where the comic is accurate.
