If you could hire an able bodied person for $16/hr, and they can glaze 100 pieces of pottery a day, or you could hire a disabled person for the same pay who can only glaze 25 a day because of their disability, who are you going to hire? I'm talking about a local small business pottery shop who hires people to glaze the pieces.
If a lazy but able-bodied person took the job and refused to meet the 100 pieces a day quota, they'd be fired, and rightfully so. So why are disabled people special? Why do they deserve a pay rate and a quota that an able-bodied person would be fired for? Or maybe you think that firing a lazy person is calling them "less than" and is unethical. Well, at least you'd be consistent.
If you think a small business could survive hiring people who can only produce 1/4 of the normal output at a full wage... I don't know what to say. It's just not feasible.
I'm sorry for the harsh truth, but sometimes in some ways some disabled people are "less than". As in sometimes they can only do less work per hour as an able bodied person. A small business can't survive while being charitable to disabled workers.
These disability wage laws exist so businesses can legally hire disabled people and pay them something when otherwise they would have no job at all. In my state, the business has to prove they can't produce the same work in the same time as an able-bodied person. And their wage has to reflect whatever percentage of the work they can do.
I'm 100% in favor of government subsidies for making up the wage difference for disabled people, and not making any benefits dependant on having such a job. The job would be purely a choice for disabled people.
I know it sounds weird in this day and age to say this, but having a job can be very rewarding. I can totally imagine a disabled person preferring to work a job at low pay, having a routine, and interacting with coworkers rather than staying home all day doing hobbies and watching TV.

- Don't use any upgrade scrolls until you reach the Troll.
- Have the troll do one upgrade to the staff.
- Imbue a +3 wand from the old wandmaker. This makes the staff +4.
- Dump every upgrade into the staff for the whole game. When the staff is +19, curse infuse it, which adds +4.
You don't always get a +3 wand from the wandmaker, so you just use whatever upgraded wand you have.
Steps 1 and 2 add only a single upgrade and a lot of challenge. You could instead imbue an upgraded wand as soon as you get it, then start using scrolls of upgrade. Or even use one upgrade scroll immediately while waiting for the wand, since imbuing an upgraded wand—that's higher level than the staff—retains a single upgrade from the staff and adds the wand's level.

After beating Yog, I curse infused my staff for the ascent. With Wonderous Resin, it was kind of fun. It would only zap random things. Kinda hard to do damage, but once in a while it would smack someone for 95 damage, or ooze everyone. Mostly, I used melee. I got lots and lots of challenge arenas. One time it zapped corrosion, toxic gas, and corrosion all in a row in the same room versus 6 ghouls. Super effective! ![](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/787102c7-6477-4787-b3b7-63cd60e0b0d0.png) Later on, I planted a sunseed to heal as soon as I ascended some stairs. It didn't take long for an enemy to poke their head into the room, so I zapped him. Randomly got the stasis effect! When it ended, I was fully healed and there were 4 enemies in the room with 3 more just outside. That was a fight for my life! Especially since enemy evasion is so damned high on the ascent. ![](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/2be2e43b-923c-4a9e-8fd2-86a4fb1bac33.png) Oh, and I also got the stasis effect during the final phase of Dwarf King... ☹️ ![](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/90f9d256-933d-4781-8116-cf1ac3b78718.png) Thankfully, I was using Disintegration on my staff at the time and could hit the King from across the room.

I'm surprised to hear obfuscation helped on the ascent. I usually have the opposite problem. Not enough enemies spawn on my way to the stairs to turn the amulet back to green, and I end up having to wait around for something to kill.
I almost never take the stairs up when the amulet isn't green. Sometimes I make an exception on the floors just before the boss floors (21, 16, etc) if I need the healing and I'm sick of those enemies.

Your videos present like my food choices and lack of movement are 100% the problem.
(I'm not the original commenter.)
That's not at all what the first video is saying. It's saying that exercise is not good for losing weight. That your body will burn the same calories every day regardless of how much you exercise unless you are running marathons or biking like a professional athlete. The science behind it is very interesting. I just happened to watch that video last night. Your body burns fewer calories at rest if you exercise more. So it ends up not making a difference.
Exercise is still very, very healthy. Just not good for weight loss. So, in that sense, yes, your food choices are important because the only way to actually lose weight is by cutting calories.
Watch the whole video. It's fascinating stuff.
I didn't watch the second video and can't say anything about it.

I had already done runs where every possible upgrade went into a Throwing Stone or Studded Gloves. I wanted to try maxing out the Mage's Staff. Normally I would only ever upgrade it to about +12. At +8 you get the max 10 zaps, and upgrading higher is just for damage. The trick to get max upgrades was to not upgrade the staff until I met the Troll Blacksmith and I could put two of his upgrades into it before spending any scrolls, but you can actually do better than that. The Old Wandmaker gave me a +3 Wand of Lightning! Perfect! In all of my hundreds of games, I have literally never used the feature where you imbue a higher level wand into the staff for "free" upgrades. I would always dump the first 7 upgrades I found into the staff to smooth out the early game and kill bosses. This time I waited until I found the troll on Floor 12 and suffered with a +0 staff until then. That was the only real challenge in this mode of play. Then I had the Troll do one upgrade on the staff before I imbued the +3 wand into it, resulting in a +4 staff. Excellent start! Them I dumped 7 upgrade scrolls into it. Now I was suddenly a beast, one-shotting almost everything. On floor 24 my staff was +19. Just murdering everything. Elemental Blast with Lightning is really good, BTW. Stuns everything in a radius for a long time. And then I made a critical mistake! I'm so used to doing these challenges with melee characters that I had the brilliant idea to Curse Infuse my staff. That made it +23! Nice! Time to go fight Yog. I try to zap him and paralytic gas comes out. What have I done!? I had no scrolls of Remove Curse. I had to do the whole fight with melee only. Not gonna lie, a +23 staff hits for a lot. My curse was Flashing, and I had Eye of Newt, so it wasn't even a bad curse. I decided to try the ascent, and it was tough. The imp didn't have any scrolls either. I had already bought and used them. The enemies during the ascent get so much evasion. I used a lot of healing pots. On floor 2 there was an unused Well of Health, so I uncursed my staff so I could have fun zapping things again on floor 1. I must have killed 40 rats just for fun. Now I want to try this exact run again, Curse Infusion and all, but with Wonderous Resin! I'll have to find a seed that has the resin and another +3 wand. Actually, I'm not even sure that'd be interesting. It would still only shoot cursed zaps, and they would be neutral at worst. That still means I would get a lot of bubbles, paralytic gas, random teleports, and probably not a lot of damage. I dunno. Worth a try.
Turns out, making it to the Troll Blacksmith with +0 gloves wasn't all that hard. There's always the bow and random wands. Finished the ascent with one potion of healing left and no food except for a couple of hasty blandfruit which I forgot about all game. Someone on Discord mentioned how good Aqua Brew is, and damn, it's amazing! I made it twice (16 uses) and ended the game with just a couple left. They have so much utility in so many situations. They're like baby Ethereal Chains sometimes: you can push yourself over 1-tile gaps and push enemies into chasms. Plus they break traps, and put yourself out when on fire.... kind of. I swear in used one right on my head, got pushed away, took several damage, and was still on fire. I had to take a step to put the fire out. They're also really good for putting distance between you and an enemy who's all up in your butt.
https://youtu.be/r5X4kS1Pc10
It's not that hard of a challenge. For one, you still have the bow. Two, the gloves really aren't bad! I was hitting for 20-25 damage, and you get two hits per turn. Also, the Warden is tanky as hell. That barkskin did a lot of work. Ring of Accuracy so I could punch things better. I got almost every ring this run, and half were +1. I used Accuracy the most. In order to hit +17, had to wait until I reached the troll blacksmith and spend his favor on two upgrades on the gloves before I could spend any upgrades scrolls. This meant the gloves were useless for most of the first half of the game. So I was using a +1 mace for a long time. The +3 plate was quite the find. Spirit Hawk is _soooo_ good! Makes punching Scorpios a breeze due to the crippling and blindness the hawk inflicts. Plus the insane move speed it has. Once in a while I could blind an Evil Eye and avoid getting blasted, but rarely had time to move the hawk away, and it took the blast. Kinda makes the blindness not matter. Just taking aggro was enough for me not to get hit.
It's a silly challenge I've wanted to win. I tried a couple times before and had no luck. The stone was alright as a weapon. It only gets +1/+2 from upgrades. It was doing 35-40 damage sometimes. Since you start with 3 stones, the Troll Blacksmith can upgrade once and reforge twice, and with 15 upgrade scrolls in the game, you can have a +18 stone. The Ring of Evasion was originally Tenacity from the Imp, and one Transmute turned it into Evasion. It did a lot of work! Finding +3 Platemail in a grave was clutch, too. Got the chains super late, but they helped a bit on the ascent where my gloves were doing 0 damage most of the time. I had every artifact except Hourglass and Medalion. Not pictured here was a +2 Ring of Wealth I found early. It helped tremendously! Mostly for getting extra consumables. Probably turned 3 Transmutes into Recycle for healing pots. Must have drank 25-30 of them during the run. Ended the game with 1 left.
Diverging my eyes is very easy and painless. Crossing my eyes kinda hurts. This is probably because I'm nearsighted and don't use my glasses when using my phone and instead hold my phone 20cm from my face. They're already crossed from doing that and crossing them even more is difficult. Diverging your eyes is how magic eye posters work.
Perhaps let players configure some number such that the game will never plot a path for your character longer than that without first getting your confirmation. "The path you've chosen is longer than N steps, are you sure?" And then I also feel this needs to be *very* easily toggleable. Like a persistent UI button. I'd have it on when exploring and off when backtracking, and those two activities are back and forth all game. Relevant screenshot below. The entire level is explored, and this damn piece of grass sent my character haywire then I trapped at the X. This kind of thing has happened to me on much later levels and messed me up good. In the Depths, I would set this number to something like 2 for safety. I can't count how many times a misstap has gotten me zapped, chased, and then pincer-attacked by some second enemy in the room behind me. But then I'd want to toggle it off to run back to an alchemy pot or whatever. ![](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/d84847bb-cf96-49c3-9bfd-50c863a92596.png)

This was a comment I made on a "sink" post the mods deleted, and I think it's an issue that needs addressing, so I'm pasting it here. The comment I replied to said something like "Superscript and spoilers have always worked fine in Sync". ------ Ironically, that isn't valid Lemmy markdown.

It didn't used to. However, Sync doesn't show my code block accurately, which is funny as fuck! No app should be editing my code block. **Sync is replacing my text with reddit markdown in order for it to display properly.** And even when I put that markdown in a code block, it still converts it to reddit style! It also strips out the warning text! Here is what I actually typed: ![](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/d029d6e8-0f35-4fa5-8a6c-f07787bbf5d1.png) And here's what Sync shows: ![](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/672d1bbf-1a89-40b2-a51c-ace2d93f0cd5.png) What a lazy ass way of doing it.

I had to fix it back on desktop. ![](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/39593aa1-ee4a-4248-9cd8-ee760fab06dc.png) Sync is not fine. It's [full of bugs](https://github.com/laurencedawson/sync-for-lemmy/issues) that the dev is ignoring.

This results in my comments showing no pictures and users only seeing this nonsensical text: > :quality(80):no_upscale()/2018585659_8_1_230614_022120-w1920-h1280 If I try to escape the parentheses, I get this: ![](https://rimh2.domainstatic.com.au/M3S7ooR3ugIz1AMW8WhMJ1JBivc=/fit-in/1920x1080/filters:format\(jpeg\):quality\(80\):no_upscale\(\)/2018585659_8_1_230614_022120-w1920-h1280) Oh, hey, it's the picture!

EDIT: It's something to do with my VPN and/or EasyTether, but it only happens in Firefox, so I didn't think that could be it. I commented about my findings below: https://lemmy.world/comment/7585497 ------ I start a video and it either doesn't load at all of stalls within 5 seconds, never to recover. I've tried everything: * Deleting every Mozilla folder in AppData to completely refresh Firefox. (after backing up my profile) * Flushing DNS cache * Uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox. (Which made me remember I had a policies.json file in the program folder to permanently lockdown the settings I want. So that wasn't the problem either.) Even when using no extensions like an ad blockers it still won't play videos. Besides, I'm a Premium subscriber. Once in a while a video will work, but it's so, so rare. And often it'll even stop after a minute. Meanwhile, it'll work in the DuckDuckGo Browser all the time, which is Chromium based. What do you think the deal is? It broke rather suddenly a few weeks ago. Do you think it's Mozilla's fault, or Google's?

I was just trying to go thank some people for recommending a mobile game, and I can't find my original comment where I asked for suggestions nor the inbox replies from the two people who recommended the game. Does that mean that post was deleted? And all the comments and inbox replies go with it? That's kinda sad. I suppose this isn't really a Lemmy.world issue, and more like a Lemmy issue in general, but I didn't know where else to ask.
It would be good to display whatever the real error is instead of this erroneous message. I don't even use filters except for a very short list of user filters from before the block API was implemented in Sync. I do, however have a very large list of blocked communities on the server, but I don't see why the Lemmy API would generate an empty page of posts due to my server-side blocks. Is it not smart enough to generate a page of posts *after* excluding my blocked communities? I've written a lot of paged database queries with filters, and implementing blocks *after* performing the query would be pretty dumb.
UPDATE: I just found this option: [Settings shortcut: Media > Shown options when peeking](sync-settings://10-peek_options) That's where a "keep open" option could go, as well as a save button. ---- A lot of thumbanils have high resolution, and I want to see some detail on them without loading the article just to see it. Especially since mobile web pages most often don't allow zooming anyway. Another option would be to have a save button you could release your finger over to save the thumbnail. Even if it *is* an image post, these buttons could be available since I often don't pay attention to whether a post is an image post or not, and peek the image either way.
# Update Someone said you can't edit any post containing an image, and my oldest post has an image. Might not have to do with age at all. I would edit my title to reflect this but.... ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯ Just playing, Lj, keep up the good work! ----- I can still edit newer posts with Sync, but not my oldest one. I've only made three posts, so I don't have much data. For all I know, the bug is you can't edit your single oldest post. But I do know that Reddit would archive posts after a while, and maybe this behavior is a throwback from the Reddit version.
