    @fu Just so you know, Baptist Joshua might not see an "introduction pane" on https://libranet.de/profile/fu/profile ... I just visited and saw no special "pane" or widget.

    Your profile is interesting. For some reason, I thought you were a computer programmer at an automotive parts maker.

    I only had one encounter with BJ, but despite seeming to be extremely right-wing (and seemingly racist), he was respectful. There was another person in the conversation ... sort of a cheerleader of BJ's most extreme and racist positions who was unkind, disrespectful. But BJ was not.

    Hopefully, your interactions with BJ can show him that there's more to the world than he seems to know about, and lead him to interact with and attempt to understand people who are different from him (such as the millennials mentioned in this conversation).

    @fu There are differences in physical capabilities that motivate some of this. On average, males are more muscular, so in things like sprinting and weightlifting, they do better. Women tend to excel in certain other sports. (And in super long distance running, men are still slightly ahead, but based on body composition, I expect women to pass them within a few years.)

    This is also why there's controversy about transgender athletes. In some cases, an athlete who would have been uncompetitive in the men's sport soars to the top when competing in the women's sport.

    Now, this isn't every sport. For example, I don't think that there's any significant difference between the sexes in performance for baseball and softball. If there is a difference, it would be pitching speed and hitting distance. That said, I haven't seen top athletes in either sport compete head to head.

    @clacke Well, the second type is definitely exploitable ... I think almost every employer I've ever had took advantage of that to get extra (unpaid) labor or to get people to do tasks that were more dangerous than they could have been (often due to lack of safety equipment).

    The only thing I've come across is "millennials are lazy" ... I'm not sure which birth years count as millennials, but I had never seen someone walk into the workplace already determined not to do any work until around 2000. Prior to that, everyone I'd seen started out with "I'm going to work so hard that you'll promote me to manager within the first six months".

    #Matrix bridge to #LiberaChat #IRC network closes for indefinite time. https://matrix.org/blog/2023/11/28/shutting-down-bridge-to-libera-chat/ [matrix org]

    I don't know what the organizations' issues were, but when I use IRC, I'm typically idle in several rooms and only rarely post anything. That doesn't mean I'm not reading the contents regularly. But it does mean that the bridge would terminate your session and you'd have to go through the whole process of connecting to the desired rooms from scratch.

    I found this burdensome and incompatible with the way IRC is used, so I decided some time back that I wasn't going to use Matrix as an IRC bouncer any more. (Which also means that most of my use of Matrix has ended. I'm in several rooms where there were less than 10 posts total so far in 2023, and now I find myself not checking regularly ... and naturally notifications are turned off.)

    I have never worked a 9-5 job. I have always had non-standard shifts such as 07:00-15:30 or 17:00-01:00.

    Now a typical shift for me is 07:00-17:00, but even then I'm normally working somewhere other than my "home" area, so there's still very limited hangout time.

    @clacke That is probably close enough. By the time television rolled out, there were already multiple networks of radio broadcasters, so I think TV started out with networks being a part of the experience. There were limits on how many stations any one entity could own, so most stations were independently owned, even if they joined a network.

    In late 1960s through 1970s Los Angeles, there were 3 main network TV stations, plus several independent stations. I don't think all 14+ stations* operated in the same time periods.

    * 3 were public broadcast stations, including one owned by LA City Schools / LAUSD.
