  • [self deleted for unintentional racism] genuine sorry about that

  • That's one heck of a seat.

  • Buy Canadian @lemmy.ca

    How can I set up my RRSP to invest only in Canadian companies?

  • They were too busy performing Hotel California

  • Every choice we make has an impact on the world around us. Sometimes that impact is very small, but it is still real. For example, we live on a planet with a limited amount of clean drinking water. This can make me wonder if using a service like ChatGPT uses resources that contribute, in even a tiny way, to water shortages in the future.

    I also think about the things I buy. If I wear a T-shirt made in Malaysia, does that support unsafe working conditions or child labour? If someone is harmed in a factory that makes these clothes, do my purchases make me partly responsible?

    These thoughts lead to a difficult question: if I am responsible for even a small part of many harms, such as being 0.001 percent responsible for the deaths of 1000 people through many small everyday actions, does that mean I have caused a death simply by living my life?

    I wonder if it's my autism that makes me consider these things because to me it seems no one else does.

  • I've seen this in Rimworld, cube obsession is contagious we're doomed!

  • No Stupid Questions @lemmy.world

    Why do we still joke about setting up old wooden guillotines?

  • Maybe you put a canoe on there somehow?

  • It's hard to build stuff in the shield.

  • That seems good. Though I wonder if there is a third party behind those gift cards and the transaction process from them. I suppose as long as it's not Visa it's a good option.

  • No idea what that means. But if you post someone's work you should attribute it. Fortunately OP corrected it here so good on them.

  • Thanks

  • I feel this situation is only going to get worse for everyone. We as consumers, gamers or otherwise, don't really have alternatives to this monopoly. At least that I am aware of. Typically if a company acts up we can just boycott it. But what other options do we even have here?

  • Aside from kindly asking the monopolies to be less evil, are there any alternatives that would work?. I nearly got my card paid off and would be happy to chuck it into a volcano. However I still need to make online transactions.

    Even if there's a good one that's not supported widely yet the first step may be to demand its adoption.

  • Every time I mention I like Undertale and get "Did YoU bEat Sans?"

    No, because I'm not a genocidal monster and I never will be. I did the pacifist route. Game over, nothing else to see here.

  • I was confused by the headline. What does RFK jr. have to do with an anime from the 90's?

  • Getting a diagnosis can be extremely difficult for people. In my area you either need to pay about $5k or go through a 2+ year ordeal.

    Even with all that, diagnostic methods are murky at best. There is no binary you have it or you don't kind of thing, no physical test that can conclusively say you are autistic.

    All that to say as someone who went through the process to get diagnosed. I think self diagnosis is perfectly valid with autism.
