- Comment on Germany offers maternity leave for women after miscarriage 1 day ago:
I couldn’t find some details of this law. How long is the leave, same as if they carried the baby to birth? Are the fathers presently or with the new law entitled to any leave if they ask?
- Comment on USA | Trump tells Putin to end 'ridiculous war' in Ukraine or face new sanctions 3 days ago:
Europe did an almost total cut off where possible (and suffered the consequences). I wonder what else could have been done?
- Comment on Both men and women prefer younger partners, study finds 4 days ago:
If just looking at pictures or of context, sure, young people are attractive. But in real life, lots of people don’t want to deal with more immature people.
- Comment on USA | Trump tells Putin to end 'ridiculous war' in Ukraine or face new sanctions 4 days ago:
Sanctions? Isn’t the whole west sanctioning Russia already and that barely did anything?
- Comment on New Zealand eases visa rules for 'digital nomads' to boost tourism 4 days ago:
It’s still illegal and you could be refused entry if you say you’re gonna remote work on a tourism visa.

Yes. I don’t know why, but I make this typo so often. I think my keyboard sometimes auto corrects can’t to can.

Now that I think about it, what are those gloves make of to sustain such attacks?
- Comment on The Microsoft 365 Copilot launch was a total disaster 6 days ago:
Just goes to prove even with infinite money you can build successful software. It’s been a long time since MS created software that people love. The only current exceptions I can think of are not consumer products, but developer products: vscode and typescript.

Yeah fuck that.
- Comment on Work-life balance more important than pay for employees worldwide 1 week ago:
This has the same vibe as “money doesn’t bring happiness”. That’s only true once your minimum needs are met and your able to save a little to feel safe in case of emergency. You need money to have work life balance.
- Comment on In US, teleworkers don't want to turn back 1 week ago:
No one’s lashing out here. It seems like you have a tendency to perceive unmeasured emotions and wrong intentions to what you read, that the writer didn’t intent (which is not uncommon online ofc). That’s usually projection. There’s nothing to gain from assuming the worst intentions of people on a randon site that can’t hurt you. Even the suggestion of therapy sounds like projection. And to be clear, I’m not trying to be offensive here. It’s just such a weird reaction to my reply.
- Comment on In US, teleworkers don't want to turn back 1 week ago:
It’s not lack of imagination. Your made an inflamating statement for no reason. I love a good US bashing, but the title is just focusing on the US and that’s that. I’m sorry for your poor reading comprehension.
- Comment on In US, teleworkers don't want to turn back 1 week ago:
That’s not what the title implies. I think your logic is lacking
- Comment on Shutdown at Mexico toxic waste plant after Guardian investigation revealed pollution in nearby homes 1 week ago:
We’re well beyond fucked at this point. For every company caught polluting, how many go unnoticed?

Google is know for removing reviewed coming from bomb-reviewing like when a brand gets a sudden burst of bad publicity, but in extensions, Google play, Google maps etc.

Maybe, unless the AI pretends to suck.
- Comment on Telegram rolls out third-party account verification, filters 4 weeks ago:
I think they are trying to find ways to monetize the ecosystem without having to sell user data or more ads. Their generous inital fund won’t last forever. I use telegram daily but I never have to interact with any of the paid features. Telegram is also not pushy about them. But if you want them, they are there.
- Comment on DOOM® CAPTCHA 4 weeks ago:
An AI would play this better than any human.
- Comment on Don't worry, my computer phone will remember things for me. 4 weeks ago:
Yes of course, but we usually ate the same things at the same time.
- Comment on Don't worry, my computer phone will remember things for me. 4 weeks ago:
The day I found out my SO and I have very different metabolisms was when we first tried edibles and he was high in less than 30 minutes, while I thought I was imune to it after 90 minutes or absolutely nothing. So I started making us snacks, only for it to hit me like a truck made of mind fog while holding a hot pan.
- Comment on Georgia’s pro-west president says she remains the ‘only legitimate president’ as new leader sworn in 4 weeks ago:
I’m out of the loop. Why were their elections controversial and why does she believe she’s the only legitimate president? Was it because of Russian interference?

- Comment on Bluesky teases paid subscription, Bluesky+, in new mockup 5 weeks ago:
You should probably read that yourself. Monetization and premium features by themselves are not entshitification.
- Comment on I've noticed a lot of UK job applications use the American MM/DD/YYYY date format and some also say "resume" instead of CV. Does that annoy you if you're British? 1 month ago:
Some people say that a resume is a shorter CV. But even a CV should only include the things relevant to the task you’re using for.
