Yeah it’s mostly Indian recruiters. Just hear them out when they contact you. They actually need people. When I apply for vacancies, I got nothing. Never heard about payback schemes or anything.

I’m normally not very lucky. Maybe it helps to look like you’re not that interested?

In-person interviews are not a thing anymore since the pandemic, from what I’ve seen. LinkedIn is the place to go. Recruiters will schedule a call and they’ll usually remind you an email is on the way.

I don’t want to work. I want to take a year off. Yet, I got a job interview and I’m not even looking.

Boob looks like boobs (top view B, front view oo, side view b)

or for the selfish reason that it would make your socioeconomic situation more difficult?

No. My kid will grow up in a bad place and I won’t have time to spend with it. I don’t have a pet for the same reasons.

Population growth is not my main concern. If I have to live in a filthy city, work full-time and barely have money to support myself, I don’t see why I should consider having a child.

People that don’t want children usually think of the potential wellbeing of a future human. People that do want children, usually do so for selfish reasons. It makes sense people who think of environment or other people are more lefties.

Probably because being efficient and effective are not profitable. One requirement for my studies was being present. All those boring hours spent looking out of the window can be counted to study hours. That won’t work when you can work in your own pace at home.

I tried Heliboard but went back to SwiftKey. It’s the best keyboard I’ve found. It’s from Microsoft but I have internet access disabled in Tracker Control and it works fine with multiple languages, swipe and emoji.

Morning:

Make a coffee, grab a yogurt, back to bed to eat and drink. Get up, get dressed. Turn on laptop. Lie down in bed with laptop. Coffee and a cigaret on the balcony.

Evening:

Brush my teeth. Undress. Lie down. Watch a show/movie. (Try to) sleep.

I did round up a few times. It seems strange to base the tip off a percentage.

English speakers always seem to like mierenneuken: nitpicking, or literally, ant-fucking.

Or maybe fokker, meaning breeder (and a famous last name; and speaking of names, we have first names such as Fokko and Fokje).

That sounds too demanding

Chairs and tables. Why do I have to squeeze my thighs between the chair and the dinner table and then bend down awkwardly when I eat to not splatter all over? Why are chairs so high and tables so low? Just put the table higher so the food is closer to my mouth and why do we even need chairs anyway?

Milk cartons suck now. In the 90s, we could fold and push to open. Why do we need scissors to open them now? Oh and half of them now have a plastic lid in the middle so you can’t even pour out the last drops anymore.

I agree. It’s a loan word from Dutch and after 200 years, it’s about time you give it back.

Speaking of dandruff, it took me way too long to find out I don’t really have dandruff, just a dry scalp. That’s why the “dandruff”, like all my other health issues, just disappear in warmer climates.

I disagree. The alternative to news is no news. If you don’t have anything interesting to share, just don’t post it.

If you want to share news articles, just use a link to the internet archive, if available, or copy-paste the text if it’s behind a paywall.

Information should be open to all on a platform like Lemmy imo. If you’re willing to pay for news, you won’t need this platform for that.

Please ban paywalls.

I don’t know but imagine what crazy processes would lead to creating that magic man floating around in nothingness, without a world to evolve on.

Alles goed :) ja, ik kom uit Nederland

It’s funny I understand all that when written but couldn’t understand a word when Scandinavians speak
