Wow, such fowl language

I think it is the opposite. Because everyone knows they don't need the subscription, right or wrong Peloton needs to make up for subscriptions losses by introducing these one-time fees.

I think you know why

I was so hoping you were going to say that they discouraged you from putting white so that it opened you up for diversity-based scholarships. I am so disappointed to hear that was not the case. What they did is really messed up.

It's both. They make it so you want to speed so they can generate revenue. Wide lanes and low speed limits can yield a lot of tickets

You are right. Turning an adjective into a noun tends to make it more degrading because you've focused on the characteristic rather than the person. That's why referring to people as "blacks" or "females" feels icky. It's why we saw "deaf people" and not "the deafs" or "old people" and not "the olds."

I have the Haworth Fern chair below and love it. It is expensive, but worth it in my opinion. You don't want to skimp on something you sit in all day- and I could sit in this chair all day without pain.

My only other piece of advice is to schedule breaks to stand and stretch. I had a standing desk for a while and I did not care for it. I never got used to standing and working- maybe I am just not coordinated enough. But taking standing breaks helped with my back pain and improved my focus.

Good luck!

Why do you think we've reached peak LLM? There are so many areas with room for improvement

Omg I can't believe I didn't get that. Thank you for explaining it

[–] Animated_beans@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago (3 children)

Wait, that isn't the joke? Can you explain it simpletons like me?

If you've ever had blood work done at the doctors office or had any tissue removed, your DNA is almost certainly on file somewhere. Human specimens are very valuable in research so whatever isn't needed for testing is sent off to various research facilities. There really aren't laws about tissue ownership so medical facilities can do whatever they like without your permission, though some still ask. Source: "The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks"

It's becuase Texas doesn't have state income taxes so there is literally nothing extra they need to do to comply. Same goes for Florida and Tennessee, which commenters also mentioned.

 

I keep getting signed out of lemmy.world (in Jerboa and in a web browser). I tried resetting my password, reinstalling Jerboa, moving to my web browser, but I still have the same problem. Any ideas on how to fix this?
