Yeah, how could he have taken the hints? So presumptuous of him. She must've brought up her boyfriend so often and he just ignored it. /s

That's the problem with winner takes all: they had only a bad choice and a worse choice. They took the worse choice.

There's a 4B movement now? What happened to 2B?

Don't buy it new, buy it second-hand. Or better, buy a FairPhone.

The human resources are not being utilised enough!

Better fire all degree-holders right now.

Many of us actually posting have either too much time on our hands, care about something deeply, or don't care that much and just want to troll. Throw that together into one pot and you get a lot of attacks. It doesn't help that you don't see the person and many people don't understand how different communication is without body language.

So, yes, I think it's easy to feel attacked. The harder part is not to attack and most of us fail that, which is why the web is often so toxic. Personally, I try to care less and block more. Someone calls you a braindead nincompoop? Either block and call them an idiot off-screen, or leave a snarky message and then block. At least that's what I do, and I forget about what happened like 5 minutes later.

Is this a real image? It nearly looks real except for her teeth.

Being poor isn't a failure. You had bad luck and didn't have things in place to protect yourself, which was a mistake. Learn from it. You've been up there before and know the path to it. Try and do better and you might make it again.

I bet your son will remember more about how you being there for him than the failure - regardless of whether you're poor or not in the future.

It is difficult to dose though and I doubt people calculate how many grams they can smoke according to THC content. It's just "one toke dude" or a hit from a bong with however much fits in.

 

With all the money going into the Ukraine war and other ventures since Putin came to power, I imagine there's a lot of stuff he could've done to make the world a better place and Russia a formidable world power.

 

The eyes have it: Men do see things differently to women

The way that the visual centers of men and women's brains works is different, finds new research published in BioMed Central's open access journal Biology of Sex Differences. Men have greater sensitivity to fine detail and rapidly moving stimuli, but women are better at discriminating between colors.

 

No more men's and women's league, no more "gender eligibility" requirements, a common dresscode, same standards and rules for all.

Edit: since it looks like people missing the word let: the suggestion isn't to force desegregation. It's to allow it or even make it the default. Someone else made a good suggestion: segregate by attributes specific to the sport. In boxing it's weight class, in basketball it could be height, in biking it could even be doped and non doped. Sex and gender need not be the very first thing to segregate by.

 

When I saw MKBHD on threads available through flipboard, the thought crossed my mind. Wouldn't it be a game changer for the biggest websites to suddenly try to coax users and content creators with "one account to rule them all" solution?

 

Or is it just a term made up to find an easier reason to reject job applicants?


So it looks like the consensus is "overqualified" is a euphemism for

  • "I'm afraid you'll leave this job because I'm assuming you'll have better chances elsewhere" aka "you won't accept being my slave forever due to lack of opportunities"
  • "I'm afraid you might actually understand how shitty it is here and want to improve things. can't have that"
  • "I don't want to figure out how much to pay you when you know your worth"
  • "You cost too much"
  • "I have other reasons, but won't say them"

Sometimes I click on instances to check them out, but feddit.de has consistently been returning a 500 error however there are people posting from there. What kind of magic is this? Have the Germans figured out how to have a private instance that's somehow still connected to the fediverse?
