how do you get a well paid job without a computer and phone?

funkless_eck ,

same. who the hell is upset at hearing a foreign language in public? Wishing someone bon appetite just driving the right to insanity?

funkless_eck ,

depends - as a related question - do you feel sad about locking your door because thieves exist and people didn't lock their doors until about 80-90 years ago?

would you and do you leave your door unlocked as a sign of solidarity with the victims of theft?

like with the original question I'm not literally asking you - I'm saying there are accepted norms in society that change.

I dont think this question really explores a lot of global or historical context either. Do women in the 1890s in Africa feel safe alone with men? What about women in 1620s France? 1200 Roman empire? 200 BC Jordan?

I am entirely fine and on board with sensible chuckle. I would go as so far as to say that sensible chuckle has now taken the place of edgy snicker in my life.

I’ve read all the main books and think they’re fucking hilarious. Does that count?

not the biggest fan but doesn’t TNG suggest that all (most?) biped races in trek share a common ancestor?

the basic version “normal book price” but if you have the cash and inclination look for a colo(u)r copy with all the bells and whistles

What is the best way to fix cracks before repainting ( lemmy.world )

I am renovating my son’s bedroom and trying to make the walls as nice as is reasonable before repainting. There are a few cracks like this in the paint. It looks like on top of the drywall there is paint, wallpaper, and then a few more layers of paint. The cracks could be at the seams of the drywall from expansion and...

I get some of the issues (not talking about pharmacies here) because if you hire remotely you get swamped with resumes, if you don’t you only get the nearest people, not the best people.

Everyone loves to shit on HR in comment threads but if they have a series of processes that are well thought out they can be a benefit to employer and employee.

funkless_eck ,

i don’t work in HR lol but you can say that about any job except doctors nurses and fire fighters

That’s what being an employee is: receiving money to be of some use to the employer.

I am happy to make this concession provided I can either start making my lunch on company time, and then commute after I have finished making my lunch, or be allowed to fully go home, make and prepare lunch, dine, and commute back to work.

Oh, is that unproductive, a waste of time, money and energy, and massively impairs my ability to get work done?

Someone should draw some kind of conclusion from that, it seems.

funkless_eck ,

just make sure it doesn’t smell, stain, is difficult to eat, is easy to prepare, easy to clean and you’ve measured out the right amount to prevent wastage.

or just let me work from home?! which is better in every way?! for everyone involved?!

life is just a series of little things. the little things matter.

You’re forgetting that it’s not like we go to Rowling’s house to get her books, or even download the manuscript P2P from her personal server.

Someone’s exploited labor printed the folio, bound it, packed it, shipped it, stocked it, advertised it, sold it to you and put it into a bag…

And more, cut down the trees to make the paper, mixed the ink, delivered the reams and the vats to the factory…

funkless_eck ,

of course you can slice it any way you like. I’m not saying no one should be an author, but I am saying billionaires aren’t made without exploitation somewhere

I have done things that are hard work for less compensation than it deserves and been happy to give it freely (ie charity, volunteering), but that doesn’t mean we can’t examine the power structure, even if the plurality of people are happy inside it.

using a bike or a train in America is the exact opposite of optimizing one’s commute.

now I WFH - thankfully - but looking up my old commute (10 miles)

27 mins by car

110 mins by public transit

105 mins by bike

215 mins walking

you were trying to be sarcastic, but instead you have revealed a major issue with the recidivism of homelessness and crime that affects every modern society.

if one of us is in chains, none of us are free.

I did 135 hour week once as a journalism intern. got fired because I didn’t do 140 (would walk to hotel, sleep 4 hours, wake up, walk back to field office - “wow,” you think, “what war was he covering?” and the answer is the war of an arts festival in northern england).

didn’t go back to journalism after that.

funkless_eck ,

oh absolutely it was illegal, and I did it with full knowledge of it, and voluntarily, for a stipend instead of pay.

just no point in being litigious when I’m just as happy to have a good story out of it.

would Åaland come first?
