World News@lemmy.world•As Gold Hits New Record, Some See Warning Signs of Civilizational CollapseEnglish
32·5 months agoNot crypto, not gold. All of these have an implied or perceived value. This will last until people realize that the value is an agreement between them and others. Depending on how things are going there will only be some things that retain real value beyond prestige. Commodities. Raw resources will retain value forever or until spoilage. However refined there will be a value chain. Veblen goods are not practical, and as a result, will not hold up as a currency in any scenario where survival is the main priority.

1·6 months agoA PWA would be perfect for this, no need for an app store. The Apple and Google duopoly can lick all the boots they want. We all need better options and it’s up to us to create that. We gotta take the power back from all of these rotten corpos.

World News@lemmy.world•Poland to Russia: ‘You have been warned’ so don’t ‘whine’ if your jets are shot down in NATO airspaceEnglish
221·6 months agoThat may be true, but while parts and pieces of downed aircraft may land over a mile or two from an incident based on altitude (they are no longer flying, they are falling), most airspace incursions are not happening just over the border but further inside the defending territory. It takes time for responding fighter jets to scramble and confront the invasive aircraft. This is occurring while traveling at high speed. So the likely answer is that they are not a mile inside of the airspace, but tens of miles at least. It should be no trouble to discern over where the incursion took place.

1·7 months agoIt’s fine, because even though the CEO eventually drives the company into the ground in pursuit of indefinite growth over long-term stability, that accomplishment is no deterrent to getting hired at another company to do it again. The idea of companies with a long-term vision and plan that provides employees with stability and a career is dead.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How come glasses for hyperopia/farsightedness (reading glasses) are there on the shelves, but glasses for myopia require a prescription?
7·7 months agoI suspect that you are correct about reimbursement.
However, when a person visits an optician or an optometrist, at the end of the visit they receive a set of specifications for correcting their eyesight back to as close to “normal” vision as possible. The catch for those specs being called a prescription is that a person cannot walk in and purchase any corrective lenses that they choose. Instead, they are limited to options that fit their specific corrections only.
Edit: not including reading glasses
To be fair, you do live in the Arctic.
Totally agree. But how much those drawbacks affect you also depends a lot on where you are located geographically.

Pretty sure that this is not the catalyst for why that happens. This is a good learning experience for a child as to why this type of behavior does not benefit them or those around them. More likely, the type of family situation you described develops as a result of abuse, physical or emotional.
