Opinie: Wrang dat postcovidcentra ME-patiënten weren https://www.volkskrant.nl/columns-opinie/opinie-wrang-dat-postcovidcentra-me-patienten-weren~b9b34816/

Omg the dominos guy who works next door is dressed up as a ninja turtle to deliver pizzas lmao

This, too, is rail transport. Two miners on infrastructure of the "10 de Noviembre" co-operative are exiting one of Cerro Rico's many adits with a fully loaded mining cart. The hill in Potosí, Bolivia, whose exploitation supplied a great part of the wealth of the Spanish colonial empire, has been continuously mined for almost 500 years, primarily for silver. Today, mining is still conducted without any large machinery through self-employed miners using co-operatively owned infrastructure. Work environments in the mountain are extremely hazardous, and particularly due to the lack of adequate protection from silicosis and poor healthcare, few miners live beyond the age of 45.

Trans people! I want to hear your coming-out stories (both to yourself and to others) that didn't fit the usual stereotypes and expectations. I want to hear about wrong assumptions that hurt you and made you repress even more.

Figuring out one's gender identity outside of the "wanted to be a girl in early childhood" and the "cross-dressing realization at Halloween" stories can be pretty lonely. So let's light some lights for our baby queers together

it's been a while since we've said this and we suspect it has not yet reached everyone it needs to, so we'll say it again just on general principles

activists should study how movements fail, for the same reason that architects study how buildings fall down

Finding life in unexpected places. It looks like someone was instructed to refresh the yellow paint on this concrete lamp base, and they just sprayed over the mosses and lichens, which have managed to continue growing anyway.

shoutout to all the autistic ppl who got maliciously misunderstood as a kid and thought they could fix it by learning to speak with well-researched precision but ended up getting hated even more as a result because now people think you’re just using big words to try to show off

If an employer ever asks you to resign, tell them "no".

There is no benefit to resigning unless you have another job lined up already.

Make them fire you. Get your unemployment benefits. Make sure you are legally protected in case of malfeasance. Resigning undermines all of that.

This message brought to you by AWS telling workers to return to office 5-days-a-week by commuting or relocating, or they should resign.

Again, the answer is "no, you'll have to fire me."

EDIT: To clarify, in most areas "fired" and "let go" are not legally meaningful terms and can be used interchangeably. The important term is "for cause" or not. So don't commit misconduct to get fired. Poor job performance is typically not a "for cause" reason, nor is failure to accept changes like RTO

Honestly if you left the tech industry a decade ago and sat out all the “big trends” (blockchain, NFTs, metaverse, AI) you could come back in a few years time and have missed precisely nothing of substance

Na een volle week met twee begrafenissen blijkt dat mijn ouders nu covid-19 hebben. Ik ben echt ontzettend blij dat zij iedere booster en/of vaccin halen die er te geven is.

Mijn vader is in de 80 en hartpatiënt, mijn moeder is iets jonger en heeft zes jaar geleden een nier gedoneerd.

Het gaat goed met ze, wel veel hoesten, maar de huisarts (heel attent) houdt ze goed in de gaten.

Net kippensoep en wat dropsnoepjes gebracht, dus ik maak me zo iets minder zorgen om hen.

Mijn buurtjes (stukken jonger dan mijn ouders) testten vandaag ook positief, maar die hebben de afgelopen twee jaar geen booster meer gehaald, want het zal zo'n vaart niet lopen. Die liggen nu met flinke koorts uitgeput op bed.

nickelodeon should host a presidential debate and every time a candidate lies they get slimed

Something I've been saying for a while now. If you know how to program and are willing to dig in, you don't need permission to create the online world that you want. But that's not sufficient. Very few people have both the skills and fortitude to do something meaningful on their own. I would go further and say that's not even what we want.

Creating the world we want is always a social problem. Because we need to find like-minded people to join us.

Maybe I should make an autistic news channel where I just read whatever bullshit that's coming out, and translate it to "this person thinks they'll make money if you believe what they're saying"
