Let me guess… US? I can never understand why people dont lobby for higher minimum days off there

TIL what FDP means in french…

I think even similar trends in men, look at images of strong men 100 years ago. Professional bodybuilding has really shifted perceptions

They probably don’t want to get into any arguments regarding cost with a patient.

If this passes, smartphone manufacturers are going to register their devices as religious artifacts

Most likely most of us would be in the yellow zone

Well, there necessarily need to also exist below average Harvard students. Its probably more of a shock to have the one thing you might have been proud of, being rather smart, be taken away once you get there and realize you are probably at most average and have to find a new identity

Excellent at being below average

Profit motives may have been a driver for reddits decisions, but we don’t need to pretend that foss doesn’t have its own share of unpopular or controversial decisions.

Imagine joining a church since they got the cheapest Netflix and Amazon Prime package

People have been hailing WFH after COVID as a lasting change. But it has always been clear that non fundamentally remote companies will never accept this as a permanent solution.

Hybrid is a really bad in between, the advantages seem marginal (more flexible remote days, less needed office space) to the disadvantages (people will still be mostly remote in meetings, commute times still a factor, work environments need to be duplicated between home and office).

If they can talk they can pay rent

Both scenarios could actually happen at the same time
