I'm in Australia and we still do this? I have a loyalty discount for being a customer for 7 years, AU$57/month for unlimited data on my mobile and free calls to 40 countries ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

'Resolutions' called, it wants to build up a relationship between Janeway and Chakotay and then throw it away never to be heard from again.

The Belgian parliament went a step further at the start of this month when it passed a labour law that has been described as the first of its kind.

But that's not true at all. We decriminalised sex work in 2022 here in Victoria, Australia, and as part of that extended all protections and benefits workers enjoy to sex workers as well.

Edit: This includes things like superannuation (our pensions system) and maternity leave.

I'm so sorry for all these other replies you got to a simple explanation that you personally prefer working in the office. You do you mate!

Did you get lost and stumble into the wrong community or something my friend? Could you maybe dial it down from 11? Jeeze.

What is the speed of that street?

You'll have to be specific, all five of the roads that enter this roundabout are different, none actually continue through it. I think the maximum speed limit in the area is 60km/h though.

Edit: Also, the weird looking building in the first picture? That's the Royal Melbourne Hospital. There is A Lot going on at this roundabout. Though I guess as far as it not being "bad" it is probably the best intersection they could have built for this location. The cycle length if it were a signalised intersection would be insane.

princessnorah , 1 month ago to xkcd in xkcd #2932: Driving PSA

I think it's probably got more to do with the drivers. There are plenty of roundabouts like this where I am in Aus, and they get used just fine. Over here they have a far lower rate of accidents than other types of intersections. We never have 4 way stops either, we just put a roundabout there.

princessnorah , 1 month ago to xkcd in xkcd #2932: Driving PSA

I don't see any conflicting movements here. I have a roundabout almost exactly like this just around the corner. It's not complicated.

princessnorah , 1 month ago to xkcd in xkcd #2932: Driving PSA

I'm bloody sorry but did you just say this is one of the least bad you've seen?? Let me give you a different view:

Trams traverse the traffic lanes at three points, as well as one making an immediate left turn exit. There are four traffic lanes. Royal Parade has inside lanes and service lanes.

But I also don't have to imagine that at all, those are common here too and I've never had a problem at them:

Notice how the approaching lane at the bottom left has an artificial curve added to it? It's traffic calming to help slow down cars before they get to the roundabout itself.

princessnorah , 1 month ago to xkcd in xkcd #2932: Driving PSA

You jest, but we do kind of have something like this in Melbourne, Australia. Except the vehicles that get to cut through the middle of the roundabout are Trams. Plus while they're trundling through, everyone else has to stop and wait for them.

I have never seen a roundabout here in Australia that allows for these sorts of conflicting movements, that would be asinine. Are you saying there's multiple lanes that can exit or go straight such that someone in the inside lane can turn out in front of someone continuing around in the outside lane? Is this a North American thing? Of course that would result in accidents, don't build your bloody roundabouts like that!!

I drive through three lane (six lane road) roundabouts all the time and no one gets hurt. In fact I have to drive through two such roundabouts to get to the nearest freeway.

princessnorah , 2 months ago to Work Reform in What kind of institutional gaslighting is this?

I wonder if this also has something to do with the company itself avoiding shame too. Like firing an employee is a sign of weakness, that you hired someone like that in the first place? Or potentially a difference in benefits or a pension that they have to pay?

princessnorah , 2 months ago to Work Reform in Nurses with an overbearing manager, how do you pass time at work without getting caught?

Okay, and…? Do you think people in the business of saving lives shouldn’t get downtime at all, just all go from clock in to clock out? Like it’s a concentration camp instead of a hospital?

Your mum sounds like she’s awesome, but she remind me so much of mine. Self-sacrificing to a fault, and potentially like she struggled to internalise that she needed breaks, because otherwise “someone (could) die”.

I don’t have to prove myself to you, nor would I post details here that could reveal my identity.

Fuck that. I will not go gently into that good night. I will rage against the dying of the light.
