Modern normie: "I'm a real badass, because I have tattoos."
Oudinot's ghost: "You people are simply adorable."
Too many variables. There's two types of test, antigen and PCR. The chemical reactions in both can be impacted by ambient temperature and humidity, light exposure, air pressure (altitude), air quality (contaminants) and so on. At-home testing is far from lab conditions. False positives and false negatives are possible. I wouldn't put any stock in the timing.
What the heck. This rewrites a chunk of my childhood.
No one will suspect a spiral staircase under the manhole cover!
In an ideal situation you want both assets and income in your retirement. 401k is one type of asset. Pension is one type of income. It's certainly possible to plan for retirement with just assets or just income, but having both is better.
I need to do this to my office. I wonder if that wall over there is load bearing. Hmmmm.
I haven't seen the numbers. I have read that they do this for a few evil reasons.
There are thousands of possible reasons and many of them won't have anything to do with you. There are fake job postings. There are many jobs where the hiring manager already has someone in mind for the job (but they have to check the required boxes and pretend to open the position to any candidate). Another candidate may have gone to the same school or been in a frat with the hiring manager. The list goes on and on.
That's a clever and funny way of putting it. It's just one stupid moral panic after the other, and racism is frequently featured.
I have a coworker who feels the need to ask an obviously pointless question in every single meeting just so they can be seen and heard. I should make this comic strip their desktop background.
You'll go crazy if you dwell on this. The corporate world is the same way. Generally speaking, the less actual work a person does, the more they tend to get paid. It's a tale as old as time.
Life is cheap on the internet, because people feel far removed (and/or "above it"). Social media "engagement" algorithms divide and isolate people from each other.
(I think as far as Lemmy is concerned, it's just spillover / remnant behaviors from that stuff. There's no engagement algorithm here other than what we bring in ourselves.)
Here are a some studies on it from people a lot smarter than me. (Note these are more about general toxicity and hate speech and not zeroed in on your exact question, but they may be helpful).
