Anarchists didn't come up with that. It shit existed for nearly 20 centuries and might still exist in some places today.

You must be from the USA to misunderstand the separation of powers so badly.

[-] atro_city@fedia.io 6 points 2 days ago

The US has that, doesn't it?

More children to exploit in those cobalt mines! Can't stop now!

And more learned today! Thank You! :)

Thank you! I learned more about birds today than I ever have 🙂 Ahhh, if I had the time and money, I'd volunteer at rescue to learn more about them.

Have a good one!

Does one have to be very careful when handling owls (or bird in general)? I imagine their bones are quite brittle, but when I try to break a chicken leg, it's actually quite tough. Hens and roosters don't fly though and I'm guessing their bone density is a major factor.

In some way, I can respect that absolute devotion that leads to complete disregard of even your own children.

I'll have to read up on what "vector control" is. But free diagnosis, treatment, and education are definitely good. They expand beyond just malaria, and I wish more people could see that.

Thanks for the link!

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.

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...

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.

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.

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?

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"

Wouldn't they benefit from more people? Of course it would come with the condition of learning the language at an acceptable level and that being tied to residency.
