The Semites thing is a red herring. anti-Semitism is Jew hatred.

You mean the "my heart goes out to you" gesture?

Remember kids, this is cheapening the word anti-Semitism and making it more and more meaningless. In the long run, this will hurt Jews. (Who do you think will be blamed by the fascists for US imperial over-extension?)

Exactly.

I propose that the mods should take this post down, or at least point to the original post, that cmu.fr has obviously plagiarized.

Here is what seems to be the original post: https://indiandefencereview.com/theyve-observed-teleworking-for-four-years-and-reached-one-clear-conclusion-working-from-home-makes-us-happier/

The big difference is that the original article actually points to the study: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35379616/ where as the cmu.fr plagiarized version makes no reference whatsoever to the study. Just vague slop about "scientists".

That said, I think that even the original article miscaracterizes the paper. Here is the paper abstract:

Objectives: To investigate the impacts, on mental and physical health, of a mandatory shift to working from home during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Design: Cross sectional, online survey.

Setting: Online survey was conducted from September 2020 to November 2020 in the general population.

Participants: Australian residents working from home for at least 2 days a week at some time in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Main outcome measures: Demographics, caring responsibilities, working from home arrangements, work-related technology, work-family interface, psychosocial and physical working conditions, and reported stress and musculoskeletal pain.

Results: 924 Australians responded to the online questionnaire. Respondents were mostly women (75.5%) based in Victoria (83.7%) and employed in the education and training and healthcare sectors. Approximately 70% of respondents worked five or more days from home, with only 60% having a dedicated workstation in an uninterrupted space. Over 70% of all respondents reported experiencing musculoskeletal pain or discomfort. Gendered differences were observed; men reported higher levels of family to work conflict (3.16±1.52 to 2.94±1.59, p=0.031), and lower levels of recognition for their work (3.75±1.03 to 3.96±1.06, p=0.004), compared with women. For women, stress (2.94±0.92 to 2.66±0.88, p<0.001) and neck/shoulder pain (4.50±2.90 to 3.51±2.84, p<0.001) were higher than men and they also reported more concerns about their job security than men (3.01±1.33 to 2.78±1.40, p=0.043).

Conclusions: Preliminary evidence from the current study suggests that working from home may impact employees' physical and mental health, and that this impact is likely to be gendered. Although further analysis is required, these data provide insights into further research opportunities needed to assist employers in optimising working from home conditions and reduce the potential negative physical and mental health impacts on their employees.

Keywords: COVID-19; mental health; risk management.

So, long story short: this article is slop, copied from another piece of slop that mischaracterized a study. Overall: meh.

How about the Americans muzzle their dog and they don't fight and a bunch of people get to keep on living?

The language in this title is quite a piece of art eh?

• "Iran threatens"
• "War with Israel escalates"

Chef's kiss.

Is it like when Iraq tried to kill W's dad?

Why is there no such danger? Explain.

Yes. Have you seen the yahoos in charge in Israel?

Why are you not?

Just ban Airbnb outright? Or have anyone on it to have to register as an actual B&B and be regulated as such?

I get doing that on national holidays and such special occasions, but otherwise I find it kind of too much.

Love this. So, basically at this point there is an excellent trolling opportunity to be pressuring the Commission to take Ireland to court. Write big grandstanding letters demanding "Irish antisemitism" (lol) not be left without court challenges. Then go to court and get the whole EU-Israel bullshit treaty annulled. Love it.

Enlightenment has been around for 28 years. This means there is enough adoption for it to keep going on.

Best way to advance the social conservative agenda: build up societal desperation via a fiscally conservative agenda.

Carney's government is a progressive conservative government.

Fuck pinkwashing apartheid.

Israel's war with fucking everyone around it, is like the bullshit wars South Africa fought with all its neighbours.

This Apartheid regime, like that Apartheid regime needs to end. It needs to be crushed and reformed.

When Barghouti is the president of the post-Apartheid State of Israel and Palestine, we can start having peace. You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one etc etc etc.

Let's talk about who do you think is RECRUITING for Hamas first.

Americans and their Founding Daddy issues.
