Germany's health-care sector hit by skilled labor shortage
  • Bud, fucking pay them and improve the working conditions, then you'll get somebody who can be fucked. Dumb older people (and not only them) vote for austerity, lower taxes, lower social expenditure, increased burden on the young, and are then gobsmacked when the young can't be fucked to work in low-paid jobs with a bad working environment. Brought it upon yourselves you dickheads.

  • There's really no section of the population that benefits from infighting between the sexes? No section that benefits by distracting large parts of the population by having them focus on their perceived differences? No group that can afford to influence the narrative, conditions, and perceptions to their benefit? No group comes to mind?

  • Sinister sucks. Fight me.
  • That's false, I think. This dude did the maths on "original" movies and their number as well as revenue has decreased drastically since 2005. I can't find the other source, but another dude did an analysis starting from the 70s and it looks even more bleak. So, at the moment, we are in the worst time for original movies.

  • Sinister sucks. Fight me.
  • Most films today are lazy, repetitive, trite, safe, and boring. Even if there is an original idea, the script is beaten into the same old existing shape. It's like seeing the same statue a million times with different colors.

  • Sydney Sweeney Says Hollywood's 'Women Empowering Other Women' Attitude Is 'Fake': 'None of It’s Happening'
  • There are many feminists who like blaming men for stuff. Men sexualise women, only see them as objects, don't respect them, and so on. But when you look at women's magazines, many articles written by women themselves, they tear each other down the entire time. "Look at what she wore to the gala! How ugly!", "Big faux pas by FAMOUS ACTRESS!", "FAMOUS ACTRESS really shouldn't go outside looking like this", and so on. And other women absolutely love. It's all some can gossip about. And somehow that get turns around to "the patriarchy" and in turn "men are to blame".

    If Putin had been a good guy, what would have he done for Russia instead?

    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.

    Why are we OK with thick folding phones, but not with thick no-folds?

    Was watching this video on the "tri-fold" phone by MKBHD and that thing is thicc! I don't care about folds, but I can't find a single phone without a fold phone that is that thick. The battery life would be amazing...

    TIL: males have 25% more neurons in the visual cortex than females
    medicalxpress.com 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...

    Should we stop splitting sports by gender and just let everybody compete together?

    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.

    We're All In It And No One Cares | Quick Thought | Nathan Macintosh [8:53]

    From credit card and payday loan commercials telling us to get into it, to people joking about the amount of debt they're in and also telling you to get into it, debt is a real thing that supposedly nobody should care about. Am I wrong here? Is it just normal to be in debt or should we try to fight this? \#debt #money #finance #jokes

    Which theoretical concept found its use decades, centuries, or even after millennia?

    After a short discussion on another topic, I was wondering about this.

    TIL: The Canadian shield is in fact not an item but a region in Canada that is mostly rock

    The Canadian Shield (French: Bouclier canadien [buklje kanadjɛ̃]), also called the Laurentian Shield or the Laurentian Plateau, is a geologic shield, a large area of exposed Precambrian igneous and high-grade metamorphic rocks. It forms the North American Craton (or Laurentia), the ancient geologic core of the North American continent. Glaciation has left the area with only a thin layer of soil, through which exposures of igneous bedrock resulting from its long volcanic history are frequently visible. As a deep, common, joined bedrock region in eastern and central Canada, the shield stretches north from the Great Lakes to the Arctic Ocean, covering over half of Canada and most of Greenland; it also extends south into the northern reaches of the continental United States. Geographical extent The Canadian Shield is a physiographic division comprising...

    I had a scary thought: what if youtube decided to join the fediverse?

    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?

    Answered: Is there such a thing as "overqualified"?

    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"
