covid 

"Overseas airlines are having to cancel hundreds of flights as they grapple with coronavirus-related staffing shortages weeks after they ditched rules requiring passengers and staff to mask up in the air."

Gee if only somebody had predicted that

poll

International Workers' Day.

It's either May 1st, or the first Monday of May.

The eight-hour work-day, the weekend, workers' compensation, living wage laws...

food q 

what confections are there that have a consistency similar to chocolate but don't require imported ingredients? there are so many dessert things where chocolate's thermal properties are just... useful... and its texture is a nice contrast against other things. i want to believe there's a butter-based answer here

code 

@_sharpLimefox

function bloop(u: u8, w: u8) {
let v: u8 = (u * 3) + 1;

if (true) {
let k: u8 = 78;
}

return v;
}

function main() {
let d: u8 = 0;
d = bloop(3, 12);
}

Did I get it right?

ABA does not put the child’s emotional well-being and quality of life first. ABA therapy assumes that children simply won’t do things and need to be incentivized... doesn't consider that autistic kids can’t do what they are asked, or that it is painful. ABA also rewards autistic children to hide their pain and distress, and rewards autistic children for “fitting in” to neurotypical norms. Autistic masking often leads to poor mental health. #banABA #actuallyautistic

The problem with ABA is that “the focus is on changing behaviors to make an autistic child appear non-autistic, instead of trying to figure out why an individual is exhibiting a certain behavior" says Reid... He worries ABA forces children with autism to hide [who they are] in order to fit in.

ABA seems like conversion therapy to me: pathologizing difference, trying to "cure" it. The focus should be on helping autistic ppl live how they want.

@admin Wat ik me vooral nog kan herinneren van de Edah, waren die zuilen die daar stonden met dat 'spelletje' met die bal; kon je met een klantenkaart 1x per dag 'spelen', en dan soms gratis producten winnen enzo. Dat was denk ik de eerste touchscreen die ik als kind ooit gezien had, en dan nog op zo'n ouderwetse beeldbuis ook :)

@admin @meike Nou ja, Konmar heeft het ook niet echt lang overleefd geloof ik, iig niet als landelijke keten; dat was een poging van Laurus (toen eigenaar van o.a. Edah and Super de Boer) om al hun supermarkten onder 1 merk verder te laten gaan, en dat is nogal hard geflopt :p

@meduelelateta Yep, a couple of people have actually brought that up! I actually knew the term already, but (wrongly) had it defined in my head as "polyamory without requiring every partner to know about every other partner", but it turns out that it means something quite different :)

@blinry@chaos.social It's a term I've only learnt recently, actually! Until a few months ago, it hadn't even really occurred to me that this wasn't how relationships worked for everybody... and it explains a lot of the accusations of "neglecting relationships" that ND folks often get thrown at them :/

@bram_dingelstad Hmm. Thinking of real-world Jenga, I believe that this is precisely why the blocks are sanded / lightly coated, rather than just being raw untreated wood! So assuming your physics simulation is accurate enough, presumably there is *some* friction setting that makes it less glue-y without becoming a slip-and-slide :)

@dysphoricunicorn It's more than just "being understanding of", though - I really mean that I don't experience relationship degradation at all, on a personal level, there's just no 'time' component to my relationships... and this is apparently uncommon!
