In Spain, which is way way more progressive than US, women get unlimited paid leave during pregnancy (as in you can go to as many medical appointments as you want, there's no cap) and normal appointments are still not covered. My guess is that covering all of the appointments would mean quite a big hit for the economy while the amount of times a woman will get pregnant is very limited and will not cause such issues.

Also, if you need to get out to breath the air quality at your workplace doesn't meet the legal requirements and should be fixed.

I never wanted kids but if I could get 40 hours off for having one I would have like 10. /s

Seriously, it's just 40 hours that most women will use once or twice in their lives and they get it for doing something exhausting, very painful and pretty dangerous. On top of that as society you actually need at least some women to do it. Are people really jealous about 40 hours of leave sprinkled on top of the shit experience that pregnancy is? That's some new levels of egoism...

That's what virtualization is for.

That also doesn't happen to me.

The last time I had Windows installed anywhere was around 15 years ago.

I had a quick look and yeah, $100 for a good, wireless keyboard is not that much. It definitely happened to me once or twice that I had to type directly on my Raspberry Pi fresh after installation when I didn't have my key mappings set up there. Other than that I just switch single USB cable between two computers on the same desk and that's it. If I ever have to work on a Mac again I will take another look tough. Do they have Linux software?

Relax, no one here is saying that rape is ok. What people have issue with is actually calling it "virtual rape". It's stupid and pretty offensive to actual rape victims. Trying to classify it as a sexual offense in legal terms doesn't make any sense. It's all just avatars and animations. It would be possible for 10 year old boys to "virtually rape" grown women or even for 10 year old girls to virtually rape grown men. What's next? Assaulting people by showing them images? Fraud charges for rick rolling someone?

Common sense approach is to say that if this would happen repeatedly to a user and it would be intentionally directed at them in order to make them leave the game it could be considered harassment. Same as sending someone offensive messages. That's it.

We actually could make a game about raping people. Do you think raping someone in a game would be illegal? it's not illegal to kill someone in a game.

Where do you use it? Do you have to use different computers at work or do you just carry your keyboard with you all the time in case you have to use some friend's computer?

So we will need another sticker to cover MS logos on every keyboard?

So a... keyboard?

Because people don't use garbage technologies? Ever heard of Windows? Internet explorer? AOL? Butterfly keyboards? I guess not.

I love Dune!

Android auto is, to put it lightly, shit. The compatibility issues itself are enough to make one vomit (try finding out what's required to use wireless connection) but once you manage to connect it it just gets worse and worse. I would not put it on my main phone even if it did work. Instead I bough cheap stock android phone and got a cheap, data only SIM (€2/month). The phone stays in my car, is not used for anything else and doesn't have any personal accounts. I'm fairly happy with this setup.

We're talking about safe spaces again. Some people are hyper sensitive to things other people can tolerate just fine. It's tricky to protect those people without criminalising behaviours that are harmless in normal circumstances. Once you criminalise everything everyone can become a criminal.

For virtualization.

The original value was based on ad revenue which is down now. It has nothing to do with VC hype or non paying users.

IDK, personally I find it funny that people making shitload of money only because of their faces are suddenly discovering they are not that special. Like the songs made with AI auto tune that are getting more plays than originals. Hilarious.

Like documents that can identify a person and are illegal to counterfeit? Let's hope governments will create some soon. /s

Same with Chris Rock and Luis C.K. Sooooooo not funny. It's like they got infected by some unfunny virus when they did "Talking funny" with Seinfeld. Or it's just really hard to stay funny as you get older. Carlin was amazing all his life but who else? Maybe comedians are like boxers? They don't have an old timers day...

Because US and Canada have better PR.
