Coolness Averted posted:On the topic of ADHD thanks to the brilliance of the US medical system my partner wasn't diagnosed until well into adulthood based on the fact they werent previously diagnosed with ADHD. Naturally their first time dropping out of college, bad grades before that or any bad outcomes were things they earned and not the system failing them in ways they're stil paying for. turns out that a method that requires being diagnosed in childhood doesn't work very well when there's massive political pushback against 'putting too many kids on drugs' for a decade

Zzulu posted:It's absolutely hilarious / depressing to me, as a Swede, to see brainwashed Americans talking about unions like they're... i dont know, evil? Communist?? Like how did that even happen? Did rich people just tell the masses that it's in their best interest to let the rich people dictate terms somehow? Where's the logic? I don't get it! the us federal government dedicated itself to the destruction of unions as a matter of self-preservation (for the capital class) from 1880 through to the 1960s strikes often were broken by the simple of expedient of sending in the army and killing the strikers until it stopped and the FBI was created specifically to help round up trade unionists our unions are toothless (can't mandate union membership in a shop, can't lawfully strike except in very specific ways because the most effective strike methods were banned in 1947, and its legal for corporations to just fire everyone and move the business to another shop, or for the government to fire every public employee who dares strike) and their leadership is often beholden to capital because the ones who weren't were murdered for generations.

T-man posted:So why isn't there a bootlegger market for cheap medications? Seems like a logical step to do, especially in building non-capitalist production. Is it just the War On Drugs paranoia, or is there something obvious I'm missing? What do you think Bernie just did, very visibly a little bit ago? The modern equivalent of running moonshine across the border mycomancy posted:Running a fermenter or a synthesis lab means making sure the products are sterile, accurately dosed out, and free from contaminants. All of this is STILL hella cheap when reduced to cost per unit, but a biohacker (read: an idiot with a bucket in a basement) wont have this QC and sterility system in place. The result: dead people. this, it'd be soylent but worse

SchnorkIes posted:Only desk workers have seen wage gains tho, they won't be left behind by inflation. Also they make more money to do literally nothing all day. when i did desk work for a decade i topped out at 26k take home and very little is worse than simultaneously having a do nothing job and also being broke as hell, but i was a clerk/receptionist rather than a tech worker i had benefits tho, and no cold call sales quotas (by a different name, because we were a nonprofit, please) so it was better than call center, but far worse than when i worked as a handyman's assistant for cash under the table (but that's a young man's game and i'm neither anymore lmao)

The US is similar, a friend of mine had her appeal rejected by the judge (because afaik literally all disability claims are denied and go to appeal as part of the process) who just threw out everything the government's own psych evaluation had to say, then put in the official judgement that because she had successful gotten on hrt and that is a difficult process she could obviously work

The Oldest Man posted:The fundamental problem with expecting machine learning that predicts any economic outcome or behavior to not be racist-by-default is that unless you put your thumb on the scale affirmative action style, it's just going to print out ream after ream of paper that says "our society is racist and black/brown/indigenous people individually suffer predictably and consistently worse outcomes as a result." You can't ~the data~ your way out of living in a demon cracker nation. The radiology AI example is phenomenal precisely because it manages to be racist without predicting any economic outcome or behavior. It perfectly manages to align its racism with self assessed ethnicity rather than genetic markers and do so even when provided intentionally junk data from which it should not be able to make any conclusions AI is absolutely used to launder racism directly over and over again in other cases but even when it isn't or is being deliberately controlled for it ends up being racist anyway

That's why people buy from boosters too, it's significantly cheaper. Everyone wins. yeah, this also if you're boosting clothes to make a living you're not exactly on the ultraliberal grind trying to make every possible penny, and goodwill can be a lot more valuable for surviving
