  • It's clear you have never met a woman..

    Source: a woman who beat every other male in every grade in my comp sci degree and is top of the class.

    Also has a life because WOMEN CAN MULTITASK APPARENTLY.

  • The sentiment is different now though around becoming unwell with one of these diseases. They'll argue they caught it from vaccine shedding rather than naturally so it will just make them even more psychotic on the antivax soapbox.

    Andrew Wakefield has a lot to answer for by rocket powering our regression in modern medicine.

  • As the owner of 3 insured pets, 2 of which need ongoing complicated care, it's easy to see that vets are overworked and underappreciated.

    My local practice was recently taken over by a UK chain and it's obvious. I asked (before) if supplements were worthwhile, and was told that there was no clinical evidence for them and lifestyle changes were more impactful. After the buy out, I was led to the front where an enormous stand of supplements sat and was urged to consider the very expensive options after a consult that showed the lifestyle choices were having a great impact on quality of life.

    It's a real shame. I got a call later in the evening yesterday with results for my currently unwell cat and I know that vet had been there for 12 hours at that point.

    I'll never grudge the money I spend on them because I'd sell my car before seeing them suffer but I can see how many would become disenfranchised after working in the reality of modern veterinary medicine.

  • That makes so much sense.

    My pre pandemic job was amazing because of the people I worked with. They were great fun and we would also go out together at the weekend.

    After lockdown load sof people moved on to higher paid roles as did I.

    My last 2 jobs have been friendless, even the hybrid one because even if you're in the office, others are out so you're still not forming relationships.

    It would have worked better if it was an "everybody works from home Monday and Friday" but that removes all the flex..

    Today in my remote job I have no work friends, but I also got a dog, spend loads of time with my new friends (neighbours who also have dogs), am completing a full time degree while working full time bacuse I have no commute and generally I'm significantly happier.

    My house is actually tidy too because my 5 min breaks are tidy up breaks rather than piss about distracting someone else breaks.

  • I thought 500 quid seemed a bit light to be mending generational wealth accumulation.

    This seems much more in line with what I would expect.

    Note, I'm a statistician, but don't do maths outside of 9-5 /s

  • This happened in my old place - also on the business side. Asked for python, got it, then had it immediately removed because of security risks.

    I told the head that I could still access tables and shit via excel if I wanted so what does it matter? He didn't realise this, and asked that I told no-one else it could be done. FFS.

  • It's treating animals in a way that you wouldn't treat humans because it's wrong/illegal.

    Keeping them as pets, breeding them, caging them (slavery)

    Eating them, or using their products (cannibalism)

    Wearing their skins (is there even a name for that?)

    I came across it when I was young as a family member worked in animal activism and was horrified that I had a pet.
