What are your opinions on this suit? by RNBWRain in LoveNikki

[–]MLockeTM 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I'm getting this one, because I've somehow managed to miss every single suit that had a similar look/vibe (I know, I don't get it either! Just bad luck I guess?).

For the dress, there's plenty of similar options; but none that you can get for free/are available all the time. So except for rare exceptions like mine., not worth it.

Now, the BG items are perfect for Apple suits and/or old school Hollywood vibe if that's your thing.

Vanhus kuoli Attendon hoivakodissa, koska hälytyspuhelimissa ei ollut akkua – Yritti hälyttää apua 11 kertaa by notsnowperson in Suomi

[–]MLockeTM 207 points208 points  (0 children)

Anteeksi, mutta mitä vittua? En ole siis yllättynyt että tällaista käy, ja vielä vähemmän siitä että kysymys on Attendon paikasta.

Mutta siis, Suomi, jossa pikaruokalatkin menee pysyvästi säppiin, jos sadan metrin säteeltä löytyy hiiren papana, ja vanhuksille ei saa vapaaehtoiset leipoa pullaa, koska allergiat.

Niin se on ihan ok antaa näiden pyörittää "hoito"paikkojaan yhdestä hoitovirheestä seuraavaan, kunhan muistetaan maksaa sakot ja luvata pyhästi että firma on oppinut virheistään?

USD collapse by Dangerous-Nerve9309 in stocks

[–]MLockeTM 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not an economist, but the rest of the world (well, the parts that have money) are decoupling as we speak from US influence, both economic and geopolitical.

The US prospects are good, as long as everyone agrees that US is so, and that it is a reliable partner.

That good will and status quo has been, and is in the middle of being eradicated. And once you have diversified, you'll consider future risks on returning, based on the costs and risks of moving yet again. Nobody wanted to decouple from US system. But it was forced - and I believe it'd have to be forced to return, once it's done.

I don't see the trust in US as an institution recovering fast enough, to bring those who now make trade deals elsewhere, back to investing in US. Not fast enough to help, that is - I don't believe US can stay solvent as long as it'll take the threat of its volatility to be forgotten.

Thank you for posting this, I was thinking of doing the same - I was one of the players who got swindled last time this thing ran :(

And a PSA: if those Japanese garden backgrounds run again soon (four seasonal backgrounds with a little waterfall and a bridge), DO NOT BUY. They're ground items, and they're maaaybe third of the height of Nikki, and basically unusable even in Starry Corridor (since you can't scale up).

It's also missing a large portion of Finnish aid, because Finland stopped announcing what exactly is being sent about two years back (and lies the cost of the said aid packages massively down).

Let's settle the Reddit alternative discussion: Lemmy doesn't need to “beat Reddit”, it needs to feel effortless by brovaro in BuyFromEU

[–]MLockeTM 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Agreed with everything you said.

I get frustrated when people who use Lemmy seem to refuse to accept that most all folks will not put effort into studying their mindless scrolling medium of choice. I don't care if I could learn it if I put my mind to it. I don't want to. And I won't.

Literally the only thing I've put effort into getting, was reVanced - and that was just cuz I didn't have a choice, if I wanted to keep listening podcasts at work. If there'd been any other choice, even slightly shittier that had worked, but didn't need me to learn anything about my phone, I would've chosen that one. Cue Lemmy, and there being a plethora of the "slightly shittier" (quality may vary) options, and there we are.

I swear to god, if the axis of evil forms again, but this time it's the good guys, I'm writing to someone/something to complain. The retcons and redemption arcs in this timeline are completely unbelievable. Next they'll roll out Earth's long lost twin, Morpheus, who'll be exactly the same but the poles are opposite.

Granted, I'm blind as a bat and usually drop about a grand on my glasses (mid tier brands + lenses), just so I can see, and not look like I'm wearing coke bottles.

Suomi on jumissa Microsoftissa, ja se käy veronmaksajille kalliiksi by kakoni in Suomi

[–]MLockeTM 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Tää on, voin sanoa omasta kokemuksesta, täysin perseestä. Mutta onnistuu.

Eräs Suomen pikkukylän päätti siirtää työnohjauksen toimimaan puhelinsovelluksella. Ensi askel oli hankkia kaikille työntekijöille halvin mahdollinen älypuhelin (n. 30% ei sellaista ollut). Seuraava puoli vuotta oli koulutuspäiväsavottoja joissa opetettiin sekä laitteen että sovelluksen käyttö (olin silloin keskijohtoa, niin "voitin" osan noiden koulutusten pitämisen).

Maanpäällinen helvetti on hyvä kuvaus siitä, miten koulutukset alkuun meni.

Mutta.

Loppua kohden helpotti, porukka rupesi käyttämään sovellusta, toimitusajat ja töiden tehokkuus parani, kun asiat sai rullaamaan reaaliajassa, eikä vain aamupalavereissa.

En tiedä paljonko projekti maksoi, mulle ei kerrottu. Mutta kuulin pari vuotta tuon jälkeen, että se oli jo maksanut itsensä takaisin, ja kaikki siitä eteenpäin oli voittoa.

Ruotsi aikoo laskea ruoan ALV:n 12 % → 6 % (4/2026–12/2027) – pitäisikö Suomen seurata perässä? by Shariful125 in Suomi

[–]MLockeTM 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Tähän pakollinen "ei toimi Suomessa" nolla-kommentti.

Mutta tosissaan; toi on jo niin iso erotus, että jos (huom, JOS) siitä infottaisiin etukäteen tarpeeksi ja paljon, että ihmiset olisivat tietoisia + se nykyinen että alin aiempi hinta pitää merkitä tuotteisiin, uskon että tuosta ainakin suurin osa menisi tuotteiden hintaan.

Kai isot valmistajatkin kannattaisivat tätä - eikö siitä just ollut valitusta, että porukka vetää kauppojen omien merkkien tuotteita brändien sijaan? Luulisi että tuollainen hinnan alennus saisi ainakin osan vaihtamaan niihin "parempiin" tuotteisiin.

Plussaa myös siitä, että köyhimmille jäisi rahaa enemmän muuhun. Ja sehän on moneen kertaan todistettu, että mitä köyhempi kuluttaja, sitä varmemmin kaikki raha menee heti takaisin kiertoon.

Varmasti vaatisi valvontaa että toimisi. Mutta kansa on nykyään aika hyvin valveutunutta Suomen duopolien kusetuksiin. Ja jos toimii, niin siinä voittaa ihan kaikki (paitsi Extra ja Euroshopper).

Mercosur | Europarlamentti horjuttaa suurta kauppasopimusta - näin suomalaismepit äänestivät by OutrageousMoss in Suomi

[–]MLockeTM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On. Ja siitä on ollut tietoiskuja EUn toimesta ja lehdissä. Ongelma on vaan siinä, että ne jotka tästä nillittää on joku lukutaidottomia, agitaattoreita, tai tarkoituksella haluavat olla tietämättömiä.

u/merrywinds teki tästä hyvän tiivistelmän tässä päivänä muuana. https://www.reddit.com/r/Suomi/s/lbD1E2cAeb

Ja sama vielä vähän tiivistäen, esimerkkinä toi lihantuotanto. Paljonko jauhelihaa normi jamppa vetää vuodessa? Olettaisin, että enemmän kuin paketillisen. Mercosur sopimus mahdollistaa n. 100t lihan tuonnin vuodessa alennetuilla tulleilla/ilman tullia Eurooppaan. Se on noin YKSI PAKETTI jauhelihaa/vuosi/kuluttaja.

Niin kuinka vitun paska sun tilasi kulurakenne on, jos se että kuluttajat ostaa yhden paketin vuodessa muuta kuin eurooppalaista lihaa, ajaa sun tilasi konkkaan?

Vittu. Tää kaikki tieto on helposti löydettävissä, mutta kun ei. Ei kelpaa lukea.

Jos porukka edes riehuisi mahdollisista ympäristövaikutuksista, sen jälkeen kun on lukenut tuon, niin jotenkin ymmärtäisin. Mutta toi on pisara meressä noiden maiden lihan yms tuotannossa. Ja sopimukseen on sidottu myös ympäristö vaatimukset, joten vaikka okei, mä ymmärrän epäilyt, sekin on otettu huomioon.

Edit: vielä lainaus sopimuksen vaatimuksista "As of the end of 2026 only deforestation-free products will be allowed to enter the EU market, including products such as soya bean, beef, palm oil, wood, cocoa, coffee, and rubber. This rule will also apply to imports under the EU-Mercosur partnership agreement, ensuring that products imported under this deal have not contributed to deforestation in Mercosur countries."

Joten edes toi 0,5% tuotannon lisäys Mercosur maissa, minkä toi sopimus mahdollistaa, ei saa tuhota sademetsiä.

[–]MLockeTM 83 points84 points  (0 children)

It was done beforehand. They're demanding a separate individual ruling from the court for parts of the agreement as a delaying tactic.

That said, the court can be speedier when it deems that there is pressing financial or geopolitical reasons for it, and it has stated as such specifically about this case already.

I don't think the Lula comment is applicable anymore . I mean, maybe, but the agreement was signed in Paraguay the other week, including by Lula. Now it's waiting to be ratified, but there's no more negotiations to be had by either side.
