I keep seeing different variations on 'things used to be better’, a nostalgia for the days when 'things were made to last’ and whatnot.
Survivorship bias aside, it is also the same sort of hankering for a lost golden age, a past that never really was, that fash trash all over the Western world traffics in to great success, right now.
Be careful with amplifying such narratives. It’s not only misinformation, because it's often not true, but also contributes to the corpus of harmful disinfo.

Always interesting when doing a task in low spoon mode which goes OK, but then running into unexpected challenge which require flexibility thinking and and making a decision about best option. Then brain just pauses and goes “More spoons needed. Please insert spoons to continue.”. Seems like it shouldn’t be too complicated to solve, but brain just goes “Nope. Please insert spoons to continue.”
Problem solved postponed until later. At least I now know to not push through.

Hello venture capitalists
I have invented quantum computer
What does it do? Yes it does!! Trust me!!!
Now I just need $ Billion
With it I will buy:
* Regulatory capture
* No one else can invent a quantum
* Then sell the company to other investors and cash out before [redacted]
Thank you for coming to my talk
drugshandel, politie, uithuiszetting
Als ik dan dit soort berichten lees... https://www.omroepbrabant.nl/nieuws/4416765/automobilist-die-2-moeders-en-2-kinderen-doodreed-wordt-uit-zn-huis-gezet
Dan vallen er genoeg vraagtekens te zetten bij de gang van zaken, maar dan vraag ik me toch vooral af: als iemand daadwerkelijk zo'n spil in de drugshandel is als je probeert te impliceren, waarom woont die dan in een sociale huurwoning...?
Dit doet toch vragen rijzen of die persoon wel daadwerkelijk enig vermogen had, en van wie dat gevonden geld nu eigenlijk was. En vooral wat nu eigenlijk de consequenties zijn van dit soort uitzetbeleid, want het lijkt me dat je daarmee vooral mensen die al weinig hebben nog verder de shit in duwt, drugshandel of niet. De mensen die er echt rijk van worden, die kopen gewoon zelf wat vastgoed.
Dus wat is nu eigenlijk het *echte* verhaal achter dit verhaal?

🦨Recommendations please🦨
Please boost this out of my echo chamber.
I'm looking for a camera:
- prefer instant print, all in one, printer as part of the unit*
[edit: a non-instant, develop at home option is also a possibility. Not being instant is not a deal breaker, but it does need to be a way I can produce a photo print myself]
- preferably 100% analogue, but just not connecting to the Internet/Bluetooth is okay
- neither the machine nor the consumables can be vastly expensive [prefer to keep the budget around $200-500, willing to save more if there's something significantly better available]
- can be from any era as long as consumables remain available
- It must take a clear picture with good dynamic range, good fine textures
- it doesn't have to capture colour at all, but monochrome film cannot be at a premium either, that's my bulk standard
- all the basic manual controls must be user facing, if any aspect of the process has an 'auto' mode it must be easy to disable
-edit: I'm very open to getting my hands dirty and have lots of laboratory experience. If there's a different analogue system that you love that can be done at a home lab relatively cheaply, please to hit me with that too.

The advantage of using a screen reader, at least in regards to deadnames, is that I can pretty much eliminate it entirely. Just change the pronunciations to make the screen reader think that the deadname is said like the new name, and you've solved a problem. Like yes you deadnamed me, but actually you didn't LOL.
Adding that of course this would only be effective with uncommon names, or at least names with uncommon spellings. But in my case this is possible as mine is not common.

How did we get to a point where it's okay to have a feature that has this disclaimer
half-finished thoughts
@zkat I feel like a lot of the real-world problems with "flat" organizations don't come from the attempt at having a flat structure, but rather from the assumption that it can reliably be made flat *by decree*, and that there is a lot more mileage in non-hierarchical structures if you treat hierarchies as a constant danger to monitor for and design against, rather than as something that you disavow and then assume is gone.
On the other hand, I don't see that much mileage in even well-defined hierarchical constructions, because they are fundamentally prone to the problem that hierarchical complexity always hampers good-faith actors more than it hampers bad-faith actors (who generally operate outside the rules), and so any attempt at building extra safeguards is likely to increase that (dis)advantage as an unintentional side-effect.
So I don't know that the solution lies in more rigidly-defined structures and procedures. What the solution *does* lie in is a more complex question, and something I can't formulate useful thoughts about right now
@skippingmoonrocks Not exactly a self-test, and not authoritative/exhaustive (notably: it cannot prove a negative!) but empirically I found asking people "do you identify with this experience?" to have a lot of accurate hits on this article: https://gekk.info/articles/adhd.html
Relatedly, this store has exactly one branch that is plausibly reachable by public transport
