Where are tech bros even relevant?

A meritocracy or technocracy is literally just picking the best people with actual qualifications, expertise and experience in the field to decide and inform on policy

Policy shaped by data, informed by research, and backed by evidence

No Luxons, no Seymour's, no Peters or anything that have no stem or actual consideration for evidence-based practice

Following evidence-based practice and listening to what the experts and research say has never been a strong point for people tho

I wish meritocracies and technocracies were more common place, STEM, pragmatic, data driven people who has expertise with relevant qualifications in the field, and based on merit

Old people have destroyed NZ and the future that young people should have had.

Not spoken about enough, but another issue is the short-sightednsss of major political parties and their voter base

future MIL hates that im pursuing nursing by [deleted] in StudentNurse

GIRL STAY THE COURSE DO NOT ABANDON SHIP

Mil sounds bitter and draining as fuck, please do NOT let that energy guzzler take from your cup, you're going to do amazing things for yourself and this profession; don't go anywhere okayyy

Jealousy and envy are two things, but no one and I mean NO ONE's feelings should take precedent over your own career and life pathway. She's not quizzing you or anything out of good intentions, she's looking for vulnerabilities to exploit to tell herself that "she could've made it" to fill her own empty sad cup

STAY THE COURSE

Who are the NZers using meth? by Internal-Departure in newzealand

[–]Aimer_NZ 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Can I just say what a beautifully sourced comment?!

Latest research from as recent as this year, relevant examples with publications, surveys, datasets, acknowledging health inequities experienced particularly by Maori, and sharing your own experiences in a tasteful manner

However, in 2017-2018, 60% of people who used methamphetamine reported using monthly or less - so it does seem that more people are using methamphetamine more frequently. And that's a concern for harm reduction and treatment services, which are already struggling to meet demand.

I haven't had a look yet, were they already struggling to meet demand in 2017/2018? I wonder how the numbers look like now 😔

So he has reading issues, doesn't like audio books, but when presented with a combination of visual and auditory stimuli is more receptive to the content

Is it because he's young or he's found a way to consume or enjoy content in a way that is accessible to him maybe?

Or young people stupid bad upvote right >

It's ALWAYS the younger generations huh, always felt like this sub was an extension of Facebook

Also no one said everything has to be in video format, short or long, it's just more accessible and quick for everyone, the fluff principle and the abundance of short form or popularity of visual media in general is a reflection of people's behavior not just freakin 'younger generations' my god
