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 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.

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.

Ah see, the problem is you were looking in /sdcard0/ which of course, refers to your internal storage and not your SD card which is probably called /0xgg0gdjdsjgg/ or something.

AI Voice impressions are also getting very good, very quickly. I can convert a song to an AI celebrity cover in a few minutes on consumer grade hardware with a model trained on 15 minutes of audio. We will almost certainly reach a point within my lifetime, probably within 20 years, where you literally can't tell the difference between an AI actor and a real one.

Really that stat would have to be something like total karma divided by your number of posts, or number of views by logged in users on your posts. As a total number it's meaningless. It's like someone being a millionaire if humans were immortal. Are they really good at business, or have just been alive a long time?
