What's with the sudden My Little Pony posts? in c/outoftheloop@lemmy.world
What third word can I add to "Ladies and Gentlemen" to make it inclusive? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world
[–] 1 point 3 hours ago

I know what you mean. "Ladies and Gentlemen" is the way I address a psychiatric dayroom when they're getting rowdy. Something about the specific formality of the address is very effective. Communicates respect, reminds them to BE ladies and gentlemen, maybe just catches them off guard, maybe all three. But it's one of the things that's worked best over many years and it would be nice to have something that itches the exact same part of the brain without being gendered.

    [US] How should a young adult with only a GED get a job and move out like quickly? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
    [–] 8 points 1 day ago*

    If you're fluent in both get an interpreter certification. In healthcare and probably some other high reliability industries we're not yet at the point where TTS / STT and ai translation can fully interpret yet. Specialty languages like Mandarin take a long time to connect so there's probably a shortage (I know it's got the most speakers worldwide, but the most common 2nd language in the US is Spanish). It's also a telework job, it's almost entirely done by phone / video call these days. You might need to brush up on medical terminology specifically and the finer points of exact translation but if you already know the language that's probably not a huge leap. I'm thinking that's going to get automated in the next 5-10 years but it should get you out nowish which sounds like the goal.

    I mean. I safely handed off my patients first but other than that actually yeah I just did that LOL. Like just now. I'm at a pizza place. I just can't handle this shit right now.

    Descent: what was Thor saying that the goa'uld / Jaffa tried that hard to shut his voice up before abandoning ship? (sh.itjust.works)
     

    This just occurred to me. He must've been threatening and / or trolling the shit out of them until they bailed. Just whatever's the Asgard / Goa'uld version "You fucked up. You motherfuckers fucked up. Gonna kill everybody in this bitch. All y'all gonna die now. You fucked up."

    What're my options for selectively redirecting some "open in browser" links to chrome? (sh.itjust.works)
     

    I love cromite so much but there's some very specific sites that don't work right in cromite like my offsite work login even just to look at my schedule and the bigger thing is login redirects to authorize apps like even fedi stuff like tusky for mastodon or loops. For some reason cromite can't redirect back to the app to finish authorizing even if I allow literally all permissions for the site. My current workaround is to temporarily set chrome as my default browser but then I forget to fix it after and open a site in it and ew. Is there a better workaround I'm missing?

    Has anybody else kinda pieced together the story of the last person who had their new phone number? (sh.itjust.works)
     

    I'm relatively certain I know his name. He's either a Senior or a Junior. Various people have called asking for one or the other including, possibly, a debt collector.

    One of the two died, probably about two years ago. There were like two or three people right at the beginning who were just trying to find the guy but at the time I thought like maybe he changed his number for a reason? Then very early on, someone called saying they'd heard he had died and was hoping he was still alive and would pick up, because they'd lost touch. I'm also pretty sure he was a churchgoing Christian. I think a lady from his church was one of the people trying to reach out.

    That's most of what I have, but also I've never met him or spoken to him. None of it came from anywhere official. It's just the stuff people say when they think when they've gotten the number wrong except they're all asking for the same person.

    What's a good way to solicit survey answers as map pins? (sh.itjust.works)
     

    cross-posted from: https://sh.itjust.works/post/68073118

    I really wanna know how dogs decide where to piss or shit. Like there seems to be some kind of contemplation / decision making process and I'm just fascinated by the concept of nonhuman sensory perception.

    I would like a way to collect survey results that would allow the residents of my apartment building to select where in the surrounding blocks their dog chose to relieve themselves that day.

    Is there any established software or service that has this feature?
