You choose an unique identifier, password and you are good. Then you could add 2FA. Without email or other 2nd channel comms you risk losing access to your account though. Phone number is def not necessary but it helped whatsapp build its userbase, showing you who of your phonebook has it already.

My countries’ self proclaimed official subreddit is basically moderated by figures of one particular political party. Comment against their opinion -> perma ban. Its a known running joke, you dont use reddit correctly if youre not banned in certain subs.

just like with this teeth regrow headlines this will either take longer than we live to be available or disappear entirely. Wish we could volunteer more easily to new advanced medicine. A fellow who was late stage cancer was finally allowed to join such a programm but you are either given the real medicament or a fake one. Given how fast his health declined, i guess he was in the control group without effective medication. Just think about how many people avoid colon checks because docs still insist using their hands like its the year 1600. There are small robot pills which can do the same and these are cheap. but no one offers this procedure.

Connection will suck. Imagine this thing and its delicate hardware hit by 10m high waves all the time.

Bro in his literal ivory tower doesnt carry the burden of unlimited unchecked migration. Climate change will worsen the problem even more.

shitting blood doesnt mean anything. If its like fresh, could be hemorrhoids. 60s is way early to go, considering retirement is from 70 here and presidents start at 70 in the US. But i guess thats what alcohol does to you.

Sounds actually relaxing

They said less “producing jobs” that men find fullfilling. More women dominated service jobs. They say its because men culture hurr durr how they were raised. But then again why younger men also sre affected. The answer was inconclusive. Men statistically dont get as high education as women.

I think there is a recession and many men are simply squeezed out of the market. If we produce everything in Asia, there wont be producing jobs here. And its not only low skill jobs which went there. Building and maintaining factory machinery is nearly non existant.

Back then, you’d find usable info on the web. Now everything is buried under centuries worth of AI slop read. Plus it was more accepted to have blind spots on your knowledge. Now everyone using AI raises some bars and the only sucker not using AI gets a worse grade.

yet, wearing a band shirt implicates interest. imagine talking to sb using that as a lead and them being clueless. At least have a story why you’d wear a bands shirt you dont know (its my brothers etc.)

I would accidently pack a slipknot shirt of my (rather big-boned) classmate after sport. My mother washed the clothes and would wear it in the garden as it would fit nobody else. I had no idea and never told her but seing her gardening even years after my graduation in a slipknot shirt was hilarious.

Germany has 48 hours but this is a maximum by law. Normally contracts are 35-40. Yet this news is important as germany’s chancellor seeks to increase those times and calls everyone lazy while even mexico cares more about their workers.

Had an interview at a company. They asked me to do a coding challenge. Solve it without AI. The task was written in AI and requirements all over the place. Took me 6hrs+. I sent it and they wanted to see me in person. Took half a day off to make to the interview. Meeting went well. They call me and tell me my assignment was not what they expected.

There should be a hefty fine for this behavoiur.

You really only need to replace 10% of jobs. There are talks of replacing software devs with AI. And developing is one of the more complex tasks in office environment. Imagine 10% of the country rioting. Thats suddendly millions of people. You dont have sufficient police or prisons to handle that.

There’s a conflict index which predicts conflicts based on whether the population is able to feed, house themselves, find a spouse (think cultures with multiple wives) or find a job. In short, civil war is 3 missed meals away. This is espacially dangerous with this new generation not being able to provide for children. Nothing to lose.

Social media lives from its userbase. The article continues to mention one or more apps per country. This divides the userbase and makes the apps pointless. Meanwhile european politicians continue to post on X.

Reminds me of the ole joke when 3 left wingers meet they form 4 new splinter parties.

I mean it’s a choice. I know ppl who refuse to work and collect wellfare because they’ll be poor either way.

What is “the west” meaning nowadays anyway? US threatens to invade Europe and is closer to russia than NATO. They are barely allies anymore.

Paywall

When they tell you no raise this year
