I also read claims the one-child limit became socially engrained. So even once they lifted it, it was not very socially acceptable

officials have already expanded maternity leave benefits and housing subsidies to encourage couples to have more children.

Seems like they’re trying multiple things. Meanwhile we’re over here trying to say middle school kids can be paid less than minimum wage, operate dangerous machinery and work late on school nights. If you can’t afford kids, might as well exploit them

“We didn’t put in any effort until the last minute and now we can’t easily do it. It’s not fair to our shareholders”

If I tried to use that bs as a a reason for being late ate work I wouldn’t have a job there anymore

Oh no, the political party I voted for opposes my special issue, but I had to vote for them instead of the party that supports it because I lack awareness and am gullible.

And I call that “common sense”

I can’t pretend to know such fear but it’s horrifying there are people like that

Ok thanks. I think I mainly misunderstood the premise

Can you expand on that? Not asking for more personal Info than you want to share but how do people weaponize that? How shitty our our fellow human beings?

I feel a bit out of the loop standing here on my white CIS (is that even the right term?) privilege thinking people are getting better over time because I wouldn’t experience or even notice such things

Levi’s is a brand where I noticed size differences, even with identical pants, where the only difference is country of manufacture

Maybe it’s your brand and source. I see sizes becoming less consistent, more brand specific. Men’s sizes used to be consistent but now it depends on brand.

  • I get brands known for being over resized, because I need them and they’re more comfortable
  • a lot of “normal” brands I have to size up, and ts still less comfortable
  • others, notably cheap or souvenir t-shirts I might size up twice, or it may not be comfortable at any labelled size

However I’m taller than average which is part of it. For a cheap brand with no tall sizes, I might size up twice, it might even be hanging off me as oversized, yet way too short

I would have three, but my router company way oversold their capabilities. Ideally

  1. WiFi for my devices
  2. WiFi for “smart devices
  3. Guest WiFi

Yet somehow my WiFi only allows two and there’s no segmented networks

Have you seen Sears?

 

One of the environmental regulations we benefit from here in the us, is eu common charger rules! Basically all computer like devices now use usb-c. Thanks.

But it would be even better to be common to essentially every portable device. I’ve seen flashlights that charge over usb-c.

While I was travelling this past weekend, my toothbrush battery died and I didn’t have the proprietary charging base. I sure wish that took usb-c also. Looking online I see a couple but most electronic toothbrushes still use proprietary chargers

Which brings up: what are you guys seeing, where common charger rules are actually required? Looking across non-computer devices that are not required to be usb-c, are they?

Edit: proprietary
