at least, relatively soon. chances are that if you're reading this, it'll happen within your lifetime

so, apparently, the japanese metereological agency is scared an absurdly devastating once-in-a-century earthquake that would hit all japan's major cities at once might happen soon https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uC-vj68SBxA

If you cisgend, or are planning to cisgend, you may qualify as a cisgender (and therefore be eligible to receive the vaccine)

Heard you can get the monkeypox vaccine in the US now https://mastodon.social/@violetblue/112985489954578493 so I look up what the status is in Canada & find this page on the City of Toronto website https://www.toronto.ca/community-people/health-wellness-care/health-programs-advice/mpox/ there were indeed new eligibility guidelines so I take a look and

wwhhhhh

This is word spaghetti. I'm sincerely unsure if I qualify

Currently trying to figure out the least illegal possible way of performing an act of sex work, so I can just point to the second option, the one that isn't a runon sentence

Why would you say "transgender or cisgender people". Isn't that just "people" at that point. How do you write that long list of adjectives at the start and not realize you've just exhaustively listed every possible category

If enough people learn how to do something, it protects those that don't know how to, this is known as nerd immunity

ADVANCED TACTICS: Okay, you can videoconference, but only one-on-one, and probs not more than once per six months. You only need this for short conversations where instantaneous facial expressions provide important information. Most human communication is not this. It's appropriate for performance reviews. Or if your direct report has just had a child and you need to see their tears of joy while they tell you about holding their beloved son the first time. That's the level of specialness it's on

Slack/async chat: This works very well.

"Meetings" where everyone gets in the same slack chat at the same time and it is expected everyone will be low-response-time on questions in the chat for a bit: This also works very well.

Audioconferencing (group or 2 on 2): You maybe shouldn't *default* to this, and group audioconference meetings shouldn't be an everyday thing. But this also works very well.

Videoconferencing: Just don't! Just don't do it! It's disruptive! Everybody hates it!

Here is something I honestly believe: Everyone or nearly everyone who, in the last four years, has gotten a bad impression from the "remote work" experience, it is because their workplace was doing remote work wrong.

"What do you mean by doing it wrong, Andi" I mean that they were videoconferencing. That's the secret. Don't videoconference. Don't default to videoconferencing. Don't ever videoconference at all. You don't actually hate remote work. You hate "Zoom".

do you think ikea would sue me for filling a video game world with 3d models of ikea furniture i stole from their website, or do you think they'd consider it free promotion

‪i am being told that ikea actually already publish a lot of their 3d models online for free use anyway (not sure under what license). i guess they realised it benefits them!‬
