  • In my country you also require a valid reason for doing so, you can't just randomly sack someone

    In the US you can be fired at any time for any reason (or no reason), including "I'm having a bad day and I don't like you." Randomly sacking people is Trump's thing, he had a show about it and everything.

  • The US is one of the only countries in the world where citizens are taxed even when they don't live there (and haven't for many years). If you don't pay taxes on your way out but you have to visit for any reason, cops can arrest you when you re-enter.

  • The only athletes I can name are professional athletes in the major leagues of football, basketball, and soccer. Some are retired by now, I'm sure. Olympic athletes and athletes in any other sport or league are unknown to me unless they make the news for some non-athletic reason.

  • You're trying to use a laptop from a billion years ago. Of course it doesn't work. Frostpunk is older, but not that old.

    How do you know if a game is gonna run on your machine?

    Read the system requirements. If you meet or exceed them, and Proton DB says silver or above, it will probably work.

  • I'm not in the healthcare field, but if you enjoy learning from people and like the idea of using what you learn, you should continue in a new unit. Also, if you look for another job later on, especially one that's more challenging or advanced or pays better, I'd assume you're more likely to get it based on your experience in an actual unit as opposed to patient transport.

    You're no less qualified, since you're a nurse either way, but a recruiter might want someone with more recent relevant experience and/or sharper skills in specific areas. Not to mention that on-the-job training and day-to-day learning teaches you a lot and you would miss out on a lot of that in patient transport.

  • Qb has a setting for monitoring a folder for .torrent files. IIRC, you can set a default directory or you can have it ask you every time. That seems like it would cover your use case.

    I use it to auto-start downloading all .torrent files in ~/Downloads and it works well.

  • It turned out pretty well, it was my first time improvising a pattern from looking at a finished piece. I ran out of yarn right before transitioning from the top of the beret to the head band, but my wife let me use some of her black yarn to finish it off.

    There's a little bit of a visual indication that the black starts before the end of the round, but it's only like 10 stitches (out of 100) so it's not very noticeable.

  • It's pretty simple to me: the public likes that drug users are being coercively pushed into rehab because it gets them off the streets where they don't have to see them and know there's an issue.

    I live in Ottawa: there's at least one person begging for change or hanging out at every intersection, you can't ignore it. Some people are just relieved to have them go away, they don't care where or if it's a good place.

    It's also much easier to round people up and force them to go somewhere else than it is for them to be in the position to seek help for themselves.

  • Imagine hating LGBTQ people and women having rights so much that you actively look forward to a trade war that is most likely to result in your own poverty.

    How bad is the American education system that the word tariff doesn't immediately inspire anger at national leadership? Tariffs aren't foreign policy and don't benefit consumers or companies.

  • Do you want to print and play other people's games, or find a site that will manufacture your board game? Your question is really unclear.

    For the former, you'll want to search for "print & play board games," and for the latter, you'll want to search for "board games print on demand." The Game Crafter is a popular option.

  • I don't really see that as Substack supporting Nazism per se (though that is the de facto outcome), I see that as Substack supporting themselves, because they get 10% of all subscription revenue. They're using a fervent belief in free speech to justify it, but they just want money. At the end of the day, they have very narrow content moderation policies, so things like this will be allowed to stay (and their subscribers' money will be allowed to remain in Substack's pocket).

    For comparison, look to Instagram's recent content moderation policies that allow for open Nazi rhetoric to remain on the platform. But ultimately, yes, it does seem that they are openly hosting content and facilitating payments for Nazis and defending that choice. I wonder if they're in a financial bind or if they truly are that zealous about (nearly) unmitigated free speech on a private hosting platform.
