"In [non-Western] cultures, they might have never used terms like 'plural', because they don't need to. In a culture where they have a concept of self that is not singular, they have the language they need to articulate their experiences. And if you refer to people in other societies who experience something like we do as 'just plural', you are not better than the people in psychiatry who say they 'just have DID'. You are superimposing your understanding over their own, and claiming its superiority. It is the same bias that prioritises Western explanations and insists on looking at things through Western eyes."
[…]
"Even though I think the study of plurality is fascinating, even though we have DID and have found the psychology surrounding it to be helpful, most of us don't use those labels at all anymore. We don't want to be validated by psychiatry. We don't want there to be a rational explanation. We want to be respected as people regardless."

I found some pouch lipo batteries in a project box I haven't touched since before the pandemic. One was looking a bit inflated so it's gonna go to the recycling center with my 3S. But the other looks fine. However, it's charged at 3.8V, which has me worried considering it's a 3.7V battery. Should I recycle that one too?

the absolute gall they have when they say you need a specialized doctor called an endocrinologist to help you transition because a gp couldn’t possibly know about all of that, and then the endocrinologist literally doesn’t know a single true fact about anything and doesn’t care to learn
@mvgorcum@chaos.social Thanks for the suggestion though!
@mvgorcum@chaos.social Ah, I'm already starting to use a baseplate design that has a snap-fit that works with standard Gridfinity bins

Bicycle wheel design is way more complicated than I'd ever expect (I never gave it a thought tbh)

Misschien moet iemand de Rijksoverheid-adviespagina even doorsturen naar de NAVO, daar staan volgens mij best wat nuttige adviezen voor ze...

Laat anders die Navo-top lekker op zoom plaatsvinden, als je het niet kunt organiseren zonder het halve land plat te leggen.
(Exception: they can shuffle hours to other weeks to make up the weekly contracted amount of hours. As long as it works out to the correct average in the end. But as we've found out, it is by no means guaranteed that that actually happens.)
Well, today was mostly spent talking in Dangerous Professional to the manager of the local McDonald's, to get a friend of mine the salary they are entitled to. Things set in motion, and now we wait.
Speaking of which, if you work for McDonald's in the Netherlands and are on a part-time or full-time contract, check your pay slip. They *should* be paying you for your contract hours plus overtime, *not* for the clocked-in hours. But according to the local manager they always calculate by clocked-in hours (as per head office policy), which is illegal.

@venite Helaas niet online te bestellen, lijkt het, daar heb je alleen de emmers 😕
Ik vind het wel bijzonder hoe Albert Heijn nog steeds heel hard probeert te adverteren met "wij als theekenners" alsof ze de thee zelf produceren, terwijl ze duidelijk exact dezelfde leverancier hebben als Lidl

extremely impressed with me tapping my

Oh hey, even the HN crowd seems to have finally caught onto the fact that the people controlling the US government are fascists. Or some of them have, anyway

they should make an internet that's usable on a quad core 1.5 ghz processor with only 4 gigs of ram without grinding the entire system to a halt

you know when i was a teen a 1.5 ghz 4 core cpu with 4 GiB of ram would have been an absolute monster of a computer. the rpi's gpu would still have been complete dog shit by our standards back then though. i've never seen a computer struggle to run kobo deluxe before
