Yeah the doctors get paid the big bucks for that, meanwhile your friendly neighbourhood junkie has done 126,234 injections both on themselves and others, without ever putting in a bubble, and they get jack shit. How is that fair?
Hi there, I’m a registered nurse in Phoenix, Arizona and I’m seriously considering moving abroad because this country is driving me insane for a lot of reasons. I was considering moving to Israel since I’m Jewish and I’ve heard they have a better healthcare system there and pay nurses well but this war has made me not...
Everything is better paid in Switzerland, like, a lot. And also, you’re then living in Switzerland… Since OP speaks German I would also highly recommend putting Switzerland at the top of the list since you’ll be 2/3x better paid than neighbouring countries (and, again, living in beautiful, lovely Switzerland).
Yeah it’s more like a sliding scale where some platforms are deeply about following people, and some about topics, but I’m the end it’s all social media.
I think one aspect OP didn’t talk about is anonymity, for me the biggest differentiator is that on lemmy/Reddit you have no idea who the accounts are most of the time (and more importantly, nobody knows who you are).
It’s the reason I’m still hesitant of emigrating there with my family (Canadian wife). Even though we’d be going to Quebec which is the “least American” part, it’s still a bit too close for comfort for me… I worked for American companies for a long time and fuck that lifestyle. What I’d really like is going to a “slower” country where the rat race takes a back seat and people just enjoy life more, but that usually also means abandoning a lot of benefits and links to modern life and our entourages so the missus is not so hot about it. Meanwhile we live in one of the most advanced countries on earth (Netherlands) so it’s also really hard to justify moving when we have it so great here in terms of infrastructure, administration, career prospects etc etc etc. Very few countries offer a better deal.
Yeah I was lucky to get to grow up, visit and live in other countries so I have a decent idea of what to expect, and I’d tend to agree with you. When you’re old on your death bed you won’t be thinking about how you made some great quarterly results for faceless shareholders or how rich your country was or whatever, but you’ll sure as hell be wondering if you enjoyed life as much as you could and gave enough attention to your loved ones. Maybe places where material wealth isn’t as important can help with that but who knows…
As the City of Ottawa looks to take over responsibility for parking ticket disputes next year, one councillor wants to look at a sliding scale of penalties that would give low-income drivers a break....
Correct, it’s a cheapo fake tilt-shift effect intended to make it look smaller, but as someone with the eye for it all it does is remove any ability to get any scale because you have nothing to compare it to. For all I know this chicken is 3m tall and the porch is actually a train station dock.
Not exactly the same vibe but I keep a good memory of getting engrossed into this anonymous writer that made a whole story in Reddit comments: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/9MOTHER9HORSE9EYES9
It’s very dark and mysterious, it was crazy cool waiting for the next comment to drop but I think there’s a repository somewhere so you can just read them all in order.
I only read manga occasionally (I go on a binge now and then) last one has been a while. From my understanding tachiyomi doesn’t work anymore, are there alternatives?
As far as recommendations, the last one I really enjoyed was Bakuman! You should give it a go if a shonen about guys writing manga with lots of meta sounds interesting.
