UNWILLING_PARTICIPANT,

Also a tertiary function of schools is to act publically funded daycare. Moving the handoff later in the morning means that parents would also need to start work later, or take on fewer hours.

Not saying that wouldn’t be a good thing, but there are knock-on effects that go beyond the clout of a school to tackle.

UNWILLING_PARTICIPANT,

I noticed exactly this since starting WFH. Even if I suffer a bout of insomnia – where I get maybe 3 hours of sleep – just being able to sleep in to 0800 makes it so much more tolerable.

It goes from feeling tormented to just feeling rough around the edges.

God but I remember fighting to keep my eyes open at school and at work back then.

UNWILLING_PARTICIPANT,

Huh

UNWILLING_PARTICIPANT,

Also worth questioning exactly why Hamas is so ascendant compared to the much more peaceful PLO… Not saying there weren’t still problems back then but nothing, nothing like this

UNWILLING_PARTICIPANT,

I think it was easier to make this jump if you were small. Maybe it’s an illusion, but it felt that way

UNWILLING_PARTICIPANT,

I meannnn I’m old, but easy games like Kirby were such a treat, it’s no surprise things went the way they did.

UNWILLING_PARTICIPANT,

Oh I was certainly reminded to sit far away in a well lit living room. Which made it so fun when we got to play to close like in the picture

UNWILLING_PARTICIPANT,

The

UNWILLING_PARTICIPANT,

I’m still not convinced we aren’t being fucked with

UNWILLING_PARTICIPANT, (edited )

Yeah unfortunately part of the work is making certain those kinds of people don’t feel welcome in our movements.

UNWILLING_PARTICIPANT,

Me telling off the source of all my problems

UNWILLING_PARTICIPANT,

Inventing better ways to do things isn’t rewarding?

UNWILLING_PARTICIPANT,

Sounds good. My parents make microwave potatoes often, and I have to admit they’re good. My microwave broke a couple years ago and I haven’t missed it, though.

UNWILLING_PARTICIPANT,

I’m down. I haven’t rewatched It Follows yet this year!

UNWILLING_PARTICIPANT,

I was going to try and contradict you, but I guess most of the people I know well IRL are also total nerds

UNWILLING_PARTICIPANT,

This also with fucking hearing aids. Like yeah it sucks, but wear them - they help. I’m sick of yelling at people with clear hearing issues who are not wearing anything to help.

UNWILLING_PARTICIPANT,

I hadn’t considered that, but that does go to add a little doubt to my annoyance with my boomer neighbour… I guess you never can tell. Thanks for the context

UNWILLING_PARTICIPANT,

Edit: sorry replied to the wrong person.

UNWILLING_PARTICIPANT,

Fair, but I was talking about cases where someone is trying to communicate, but won’t wear a device to help them. Like my brother in law. A great storyteller and a hoot to have around, but misses a lot of context because he refuses to wear hearing aids

UNWILLING_PARTICIPANT,

Oh that’s totally normal. Or like when you say “pardon?” but by the time you’re finished asking, the sound has rattled around in your ears long enough for your brain to have made sense of it, then you’re like “sorry, nevermind, it’s on the top shelf” while they’re in the middle of clarifying.

UNWILLING_PARTICIPANT,

It reminds me of the feeling of being in an elevator with someone you’re mad at

UNWILLING_PARTICIPANT,

New pronoun just dropped

UNWILLING_PARTICIPANT,

I actually love this concept. There’s something there

UNWILLING_PARTICIPANT,

Alright I’m done with lemmy for a bit

UNWILLING_PARTICIPANT,
