Not OP but my guess would be moderation tools.

Do not worry Vestager lives for shit like this. She’ll make them bend over, take it deep, and pay her for her pleasure.

You miss the bigger picture. The shit journalism and propaganda are still free - funded by … other means . That is why magazine have tried to be free in the internet.

You’re also operating with the wisdom of hindsight. No one knew how to handle internet publishing. We all learned together.

Truth. Very good point.

Miele now us a few bagless models with pretty good reviews. But they are a late comer compared to Dyson and Samsung.

It’s popular to hate on Dyson but cordless, bagless vacuum is very much a game dominated by them. Others - Samsung, Miele - have great products but I have yet to see a model from them that is truly superior to flagship Dysons. They dominate on suction and battery power.

Dyson is expensive (overpriced?). The owners is an oligarch brexiteer asshole. The brand is perpetually trending with annoying influencers and I find their vacuums ugly, but … they build very good vacuums.

Yes. I own a Dyson. A corded one. We’re on our third one and keep buying them because we have never had any issues with them.

My current one is 4 years old. The one before was 10 by the time we sold it due to international move. The one before we bought 10 years old used before deciding we wanted a new one.

To add to others’ posts. It can be a huge variety of things that risk making the service unstable, unresponsive, and worst case could corrupt data in flight.

Customers view scheduled maintenance as minor inconvenience. Unplanned outage as an annoyance, and loss of data as a dealbreaker.

So any time there was a chance that what we need to do would limit functionality - or otherwise make the system unstable - best to take the system offline for scheduled maintenance.

Basically also why Swedish barns are red. I presume those two stories and red barn origins are related.

Danes love these explicit names. Poultry is “fjerkræ”. Literally beaked beasts.

Let’s be real. This is unworkable. A fixed “commute” pay sure but

• the company has no way to know how long it takes to commute each day
• the company does not choose where you choose to live
• your distance from office would be a hiring factor - just a mess for discrimination lawsuits.

I am for the risk of the commute not falling entirely on the employee. But “job pays for commute” always strikes as a silly proposal.

Indeed. Grew up in a country that phased it out just as I was coming of age. The whole problem was that it was way corrupt, useless, and worst case scenario - men in mid-30s with job, kids, mortgage got called in because the system was so broken.

That is what did the system in. Everyone saw it would be useful to keep it. But we simply could not afford to find it properly or care enough to make more than a useless wasted year.

Ok fine. I can concede the point that women should help.

But it is not women’s fault that men are lonely. It’s definitely not feminisms fault.

I see. Did not realise there is such a defined line.

I do find PyCharm easier than VSCode but never could put a finger on it.

Removed by mod

I agree. Keeping the sale illegal perpetuates the terribleness of drug gang. But it’s a popular take because it removes state responsibility for regulating recreational use and abuse.

Also, however, it is possible to find new ways. For example in a Denmark sex work is legal, but profiting off of sex work is not. Which on the surface makes no sense (a sex worker cannot rent a hotel room for example). As a result women run old fashioned brothels that are employee owned coops.

A partial legalisation could breed some similar non capitalist innovations.

This an opinion that is largely becoming edge-of-accepted though out the west. It’s a valid political stance and it’s the law in some countries already.

I think it’s a challenging take because you combine multiple issues.

We need to solve the housing and cost of living crisis.

We need to solve why we let mentally I’ll become so desperate they become homeless.

And then yes- nothing wrong with well run mental asylums. They existed and in Europe still exist for a reason. People need help. Reagan thought kicking them to the street would be more fun.

Then - discounts for shorties? How about meatheads? When a body builder checks in- also an extra fee? How about tall people?

My point is - draw out this thought further.

For various reason I agree with this in principle - but it needs elaboration.

That is an important point. But why it’s unpopular is that it’s not “feminism’s” job to do this. Feminism is a struggle to give women equal opportunities to men. They do not include race, poverty, and definitely not men’s issues in this.

To put it bluntly: It’s not women’s job to fix men.

Men’s loneliness crisis may have come about as a result of modern societal changes. Including equality for women. But it’s men who need to organise and fix that.

(And honestly- as someone who has moved around the western world - this seems uniquely American problem. European men have rich social lives. Even in the most feminist nations)

I think you’re close to understanding WHY then the trans community is such a stickler about pronouns

Let me give you an example that may further close the understanding loop for you.

I moved from US to Scandinavia. This place, despite being always described as heaven for the queer community … is, on the surface, entirely devoid of them. You hardly ever notice. There is hardly ever any discussion, politics, or fuss. You struggle to spot queer couples on the street. There just isn’t a loud community shouting about queer and trans issues on the street. When you spot queer or trans folks they are just people doing their daily life.

Why? Because they are not under attack. When a community is being attacked it becomes tighter, builds rituals and ways of living that identifies members of the group. It becomes louder and with a uniform voice on the political scene. Because the coordination and loudness is necessary for their political goals- of not being attacked.

(I guess groups not on the defensive but on the offensive would do the same. I guess you have to look at the goals to understand which is which.)

But here’s my point - in conditions where the trans community is treated with respect, they again become free to NOT make their life about bathrooms and pronouns.

And thus - I argue pronouns are such a hot topic because trans folks are being deliberately misgendred as an attack by their political opponents.
