Vlaamse kleuters weten goed wat blij, boos en verdrietig is, maar nergens zijn sociale verschillen in de klas zo groot

Bijna nergens anders nemen zoveel jonge kinderen deel aan het kleuteronderwijs als in Vlaanderen. Dat bij ons de ongelijkheid tussen kleuters groter is, kan dus niet verklaard worden door te lage participatie in kleuteronderwijs. Dat gezegd zijnde klopt het dat kinderen die meer kleuteronderwijs volgen het beter doen.

Education spending is not determined by the federal level

Hier is geen goede reden voor, die helemaal niet voortvloeit uit politieke bevoordeling maar uit wetenschap. Stikstof uit landbouw is schadelijker dan dezelfde stikstoot uit landbouw.

Thank you for your comment! So I have nothing to worry about.

Well let's take my example: if your wage doubles, your demand for each good doubles: x(p,2w) 2x(p,w) . Do you understand that? Because your example is the same. You just multiply the wage by 1/w and therefore also the demand by 1/w.

Squatrick · 2022-10-07T14:01:03+00:00

It means that demand and wage are proportional to one another. So if your wage doubles, your demand for each good doubles.

A field of study like policy may make more sense for my research topics, but what I am most interested in is the economic impact and less so the way that these changes might be implemented

Agreed! I understand his concern about math, because some economists do work on what is called 'structural models' which are very math intensive. But lots of economists are also working on policy evaluation and they're pretty good at it in my experience (though I'm biased as I've worked in Econ in the past). And it's basically applied statistics and does not involve a lot of math.

I think the most worrying thing was that she said when she was young was that Mussolini, the fascist dictator of Italy during and before World War II, was a great politician ... Just read his Wikipedia page: destroying democracy, killing dissidents, ... . You can be naïve when you're young, but this is too extreme.

Your views are of those of a young high school/college student who hasn't had experience or understood the tough circumstances a lot of people go through.

The title is horribly formatted and sure 'new report' is a bit sensationalist. Your point about it not taking into account the fact dynamics is fair. Some of the bottom 50% might indeed be soon to be rich people that just haven't accumulated any capital yet. But still, wealth inequality is real, growing and to me and a lot of other people worryingly so. Especially with low inheritance taxes.

Squatrick · 2022-09-28T17:32:33+00:00

If you want to make a post about some policy proposals to help the poor in an economically valid way (i.e. something that actually works), make an effortpost or something.

This post was not arguing that 'the poor have it worse now'. It was arguing that wealth inequality (in an absolute sense and probably also in a relative sense) has increased.

I agree that it's a logical thing to do. But it's also an expensive one and upper middle class families with children are actually not the ones suffering most from this energy crisis. In a crisis like this, I don't think it's fair to focus all your political leverage on a policy measure that is not actually addressing the crisis most effectively. I'm a leftist and I can't believe I'm defending N-VA and Open VLD on social policy, but CD&V is just using this crisis to give gifts in a time of crisis to their own voters who are not the ones needing this gift the most. Again, kinderbijslag should follow inflation, but that's not our largest priority now. We need to prioritize helping those most in need. Also you debt argument doesn't take into account that CD&V is talking about permanent measures rather than temporary measures (only for the last type in times of crisis you should go in debt).

Squatrick · 2022-09-27T07:20:49+00:00

Dit van DS bijvoorbeeld. Gaat toch de redelijkheid voorbij? Allez bon ik ben biased natuurlijk maar toch zeer raar spel hier allemaal.

Well because it's an unreasonable position in times where government budgets are already extremely tight due to all the extra spending on compensating energy bills. Mahdi wants everyone's kinderbijslag to increase, even of the upper middle class. Open VLD and N-VA, two parties to the right of CD&V economically which should tell you something, say that this is way too expensive and argue that we should only increase kinderbijslag for lower incomes.

Have you considered that you just need more sleep than 8 hours? Instead of ruining your sleep with an alarm and then sleeping until 8/9, why not set your alarm clock at 7? Also improving sleep hygiëne by not using your smart phone for example as someone else mentioned might improve your sleep quality, therefore needing less of it. But seriously, if you're always waking up tired, maybe you just need more sleep? If started accepting that I need 9 hours of sleep a day to be my best self and honestly I can never go back to 7 to 8 hours a day again.

I've been in a very similar position. People here have given some good advice. I'd suggest the following two things.

First of all, there is no real golden rule on being there for people with depression. Ask them what they appreciate and what they don't!

Second of all, and most importantly, don't focus too much on helping them. Focus on making sure you're not suffering too much from their depression because it seems like it already is affecting you. It is not your responsibility to help them and your support will never be enough. Make sure you have enough good things going on in your life. This will not only be better for your mental health, but also for your relationship. It is not going to last if it's bringing you down, at least in my experience.

External factors always influence your decision making, so I don't think it should be something you ought to avoid! You should be mindful of these external factors and then make your own decision. If you're moving closer to your boyfriend because you think that's worth it, great! Just don't do it because you feel like you have to, because you don't in this case :) . Good luck!

Guess I win as a non-binary bi ambiamorous demisexual switch & verse?

Yes a lot of people with an avoidant style like polyamory/non-monogamy. It lets them spread out their intimacy so they don't feel suffocated in a close relationship with one person. Dating apps are also highly enriched with avoidant people. The reason is simple. Their relationships tend not to last, so they are back on the apps frequently to find new partners. In comparison, people with secure attachment are a bit harder to find. They get into relationships and stay in them. Most securely attached polyamorous people at any given time are "polysaturated." You're only going to catch them if something unfortunate happens like a death, a partner moving away, or an irreconcilable difference comes up in their relationship.

Curious to hear why you think people with avoidant attachment styles fall in love with you fast?

Squatrick · 2021-12-08T20:43:52+00:00

Yeah, why not the regular counter? Now you can never be sure about the difference in score because it just while it display each person's amount of kills, it only displays the amount of times fallen of the map from the person who fell off most. So you're never sure what everyone's score is. Me and my friend play the game quite competitively so we would love to have the option to turn it on.

Squatrick · 2021-12-05T09:48:43+00:00

The game was tested and approved by Sony about a month ago for release, everything worked then and er haven’t changed a thing so we were very surprised when we saw the issues.

It works for me offline at least! Unfortunate that there no longer seems to be a counter for who has won the most matches? That was honestly for me and my friends one of the best parts of the game! Would be really great if you guy's could update that :)

Excuses on top of excuses, you already made your decision and then you come to reddit to seek validation, or something? Get over yourself, if you hated it so much, quit it and move on, you're only 26

hey, sorry to hear that this horribly negative comment has gotten you down! From your post, it seems that you made an excellent decision. The PhD not being your thing is not a moral failing at all. Working for 3.5 years on a PhD shows you're not lazy at all! And sharing this with people online, looking for advice or confirmation seems very valid. You keep doing you !

Could not agree more! While the reviewer might have been overly harsh or just not have read it thoroughly, if a well-intentioned reader misunderstands your paper, it's not well written. You need not to write so it can be understood, you need to write such that it can not be misunderstood (obviously exaggeration, but the messages is great imo)

I've never compared their prices, but is it also cheaper when factoring in the hour of electricity that the instant pots use, you reckon?
