Three twelves. I’m all for cramming an 80hr work week into 3 days. Same amount of work, and so you are going to be trashed those three days and a half a day after, but it’s 4 days off a week.

Allows for work life balance if it’s block scheduling. If you have a scheduler who throws 12hr shifts out all over the week though, it can destroy your life.

I’ve heard of it just now.

This occurred a while back. I was standing at a nurses station, when the technician watching the heart monitors announced that a patients heart rate had jumped from 80s to 140s

For those who don’t know, parameters are 50-100. 40s if you’re an athlete. And the heart rate is generally allowed to go to 129, in a hospital, if you have no symptoms.

This individual jumped from 80s to 140s. This being a significant change, staff ran to the room to check the patients well-being and found this patients girlfriend riding him in the hospital bed.

The question you should ask is how much privacy do they want?

The issue is going to be: what are my friends already using? Can I find and friend all my new acquaintances on this platform?

It’s not so much whether or not it has the capacity to be a great service, it’s what is the current population on the service? That’s what people are really asking.

If there’s not millions on it already, most are going to pass on it.

We’re on Lemmy, that puts us a bit outside of that perspective, but that’s still going to be your fat middle of the bell curve on peoples willingness to move.

OfferUp is really the only FBM replacement out there. I’m just assuming that’s 1/2 of what keeps most people around. The other being that messenger, in spite of its complete lack of privacy, still hosts the largest bulk of people, for finding acquaintances and such if needed.

Signal or WIRE should be the obvious replacement for the latter but our Congress working efficiently and effectively for the people is an easier task than moving a single individual off messenger and into Signal or WIRE. You’ll probably have to no contact people on text to get them to switch.

The Nazi regime was heavy into Norse mythology.

Most aren’t expected to, unless it’s your job like Kimmel, SNL, Stewart, Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me, etc

It’s just easier to find new content reading material than today’s market in fiction which is disappointingly awful of late.

The screen is small.

It’s an old person thing, probably, but I don’t enjoy phone sized screens beyond reading and such. I don’t know how people see an Apple Watch well enough to use it comfortably.

Laptop is fine most days but I really want that desktop screen when I can get it.

I can’t imagine Stellaris or AC or even Pathfinder on a phone or iPad mini sized screen. Like TV, most people aim bigger not smaller. I can still have portable games at 15” instead of 7”.

In addition to what’s already been stated, there was much talk on his campaign trail regarding “retribution”. Openly stated and promised. As such, I think people are in survival mode.
