I have the vague idea where that image is from, but I don’t know for sure.

Where did you find that?

Now that you mention non-salary benefits… I would get a company car for myself in the new job, effectively eliminating all car-related costs. Healthcare wise it‘s the same. This company car would reduce my cost immensely, evening out the salary gap.

Well the new job would make use of various licenses I acquired in my free time. On paper it sounds amazing but I would really want to know what I’m getting into before actually quitting my current job.

Please correct me if I’m wrong since I’m not native in English. In my understanding a paycut is the reduction of one’s income.

My backup plan is that I have an assessment in the near future that, if passed, states me as someone who’s good with taxes and that certificate is valued higher than a bachelor‘s degree

No paycut, only if I switch jobs

Vista was excellent if you had a decent machine. It didn’t run on the ancient machine my parents had, but it ran quite fast on the laptop I had. Never experienced a single crash besides the one when it slipped out of my hand.

Well that’s the point, there’s so many managers that they load the work of the retirees off to the other managers. The positions just vanish.

Retirements aren’t replaced. Only chance of getting a raise is if someone higher up quits

Giving up my safe governmental 7-3 office job? (sh.itjust.works)
 

I‘m thinking of ditching my very safe and very well paid office job with the option to work from home for a job in the field where I drive around and inspect buildings. Taxes included I’d get a 300€ paycut but would gain the ability to get paid for overtime, which I do not have at the moment. Also, due to austerity measures I have no chance of ever getting into a higher position at my current job.

I don’t know maybe I just want the validation of something I’ll do anyway, maybe I want to get shown what makes my current job better than the might-be one.

Parents of Lemmy, would you have your kids keep the bedroom door open when the gender they were attracted to comes over? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

In Austria, where I’m from, sex ed in school gets a brief introduction at age 10 when learning about the human anatomy, gradually learning more in biology class. Before ending middle school, there’s a mandatory intensive sex ed course, at least that was the thing 17 years ago.

Condoms were primarily advertised as medical products for preventing from sexual diseases, and only secondly as pregnancy preventions.

1 in 10 has had sex with 14 years old in my country, keep it safe, better at home with condoms than in the woods without. If they want to, they’ll find a way.

Nostalgic for older websites (sh.itjust.works)
 

I am changing the way I use my phone. Today I sat in front of the computer and wanted to do something cool on the internet, like in the time before insta/fb/reddit/lemmy doomscrolling. I couldn’t think of any website and took a bath instead, thinking of all the older websites where you had a chatwindow, forums and such.

They’re all gone by now, aren’t they?

Partner has ADD, do I have misophonia? (sh.itjust.works)
 

It’s driving me crazy. Partner on phone, playing videos and games while the TV is running some YouTube reaction stuff.

I wear noise cancelling headphones all day at home because it’s just too much. The volume is so high I can hear it through a closed door. My PC is in the same room as the TV and I can’t even concentrate on a tutorial on how to do some editing stuff.

Partner is also suffering from depression so every freaking time I begged to please turn the tv off, it’s just ended in a 30 minute therapy session at home on how I can improve myself.

Anyone in a similar situation?

Windows 11's inconsistency (sh.itjust.works)
 

You highlight something in Edge and release your finger from the button? New menu. Now you can copy it directly! Great! No need for right clicking every time, right? No! It only works in Edge! You want to copy from Outlook? Nothing! You highlight in Word or Excel? You can change the font of the selected text! No copy option!

You expect it to work a certain way and then it just doesn’t. Don’t get me wrong, I love right clicking, but expecting not having to and then still needing to click it is just… inconsistently inconvenient

Selling BTC or not..? (sh.itjust.works)
 

This might be a bit of a bad question, but I don’t know where to ask to get the least biased responses.

So, I have about $1.000 in Bitcoin that used to be $300 (I’ve put in about $1.500 in various shitcoins before getting those BTC)

I fly drones as a hobby and I was thinking of getting a new system for that amount of money.
