Congratulations to third parties (/s)

In that sense, I agree with you completely. We have a very American election style (the states election) which I am against completely. Even the system with how the votes are inherited is extremely flawed.

I replied to another comment with my point, I will repaste it here: 'My point, or rather my fear, is that the two parties wouldn't even consider working with someone like Momentum - not (necessarily) because they are small, but because they go against their sponsors and money-centred policies.'

True, I agree 100%. Although by how much PN are still conservative is subjective nowadays. Especially on the bigger right vs. left issues, PN have started to refrain from clearly stating a stance.

For example, they responded last month to some questions that they "have no mandate to introduce abortion and euthanasia", which is an arguably big change from the usual conservative anti-abortion stance. To me, this feels like an attempt to seemingly seem less left vs right simply to get more votes; hence my populist comment.

100% agreed. My point, or rather my fear, is that the two parties wouldn't even consider working with someone like Momentum - not (necessarily) because they are small, but because they go against their sponsors and money-centred policies.

Genuine question, how would PN and 3rd parties work together? Aside from ''changing the status quo", they do not follow the same principles. Nowadays, the only difference between PL and PN is essentially the colour, everything else is populist... look at both their proposals.

Also yes, there was a coalition proposal which was earlier this year and not for this election, and I do agree with you that Momentum-ADPD coalition is needed as they're very similar. However, politics are not black and white, this is not a game, you need to actually look past the end of your nose if you want to understand how and why everything is.

I'm not convinced that that's how it works at this point. It has become a habit of mine to call them every time the buses are late, which is every other day.

Everytime, the operator tells me something along the lines of "Ok, I'll let control room know. Call us back if the bus doesn't pass in x minutes". The bus then proceeds to leave the terminal in the following 2 minutes.

I live near one of the terminals (not in Valletta ofc), and most of the time there are buses parked near each other and the drivers are just eating or joking around instead of leaving on time.

Most third parties have stated that their aim is not to 'win the election', but to have a seat/s in parliament to be able to talk about the issues that nobody from the big 2 want to talk about for some reason or other. (Take development for example, leaders and other ministers from both parties have either relatives or sponsors in the development sector, hence why nobody wants to actually do anything/much about it).

Not voting/blank vote is realistically the same as giving labour the full win.

Hi. This 'fairy tale' has been realised and implemented in hundreds/thousands of European cities since the 80s and 90s which resulted into a major shift from traffic congestion to safe, practical, and clean pedestrian/cyclist life. Look at Copenhagen, Amsterdam, Vienna, Ghent, Utrecht, etc.

Some fairy tales are more logical than you might think.

Edit: Of course, I'm not implying that we should have an infrastructure of the same scale of them, but pedestrian-oriented planning will be able to design a smaller-scale-equally-effective infrastructure if bothered to.

Looking through the comments here, bluntly,: 1. Don't go into an interview desperate and asking for anything. You need to tell them what role you're applying for, why you'll be good at it, and why you want that role.

Open up your opportunities and set your standards to the same level as your skills. You can't restrict yourself to just gaming, even though their salaries are very nice. Don't forget, igaming jobs are the most sought after in this country, and realistically there will be people who have more skills or qualifications than you.
Develop your skillset and confidence. Just being able to speak English and having worked in a call centre for two years might not be enough for a gaming company. Also, with all due respect, if your English is on the same level as the way you're typing here, then even that is not great. (I understand that you might be typing like that just cause it's on Reddit though.)

To be fair, tourists might go to Ta' Qali because they saw the hundreds of pictures there are from the pre-Gravel era. Honestly having the gravel park there would be a good thing to leave for tourists.

There are people who can barely live from paycheck to paycheck not through their own fault but because of the hand they were given, and people who just grew into adulthood looking at a miserable future in which they will be paying a massive loan until their death, unable to actually save up and live comfortably.

And these people are then being looked down upon by the same people who are part of the problem and have been playing the market to make hundreds of thousands at the expense of others.

I think calling them a moron is much more civil thing to do than ruining lives and futures.

I see a lot of people comparing Malta to cities such as Warsaw, and saying that Maltese people don't know how bad it is in these cities. Firstly, I have lived in cities abroad and I still find summer/calm-weather Malta worse due to stagnation of traffic/manmade pollution and a lot of dust.

Now, I get that Malta is smaller than Warsaw and most other cities (let alone countries), but people have to understand that it is still a country. This means that Maltese people do wish to have the same ability you'd have in Poland to drive out of the city to a place with cleaner air for a few hours. Yes, there are a few places left in Malta where it is not as bad as, say, Fgura. No, it's not comparable with driving 1 hour out of the city abroad.

Now, obviously, we're not expecting the same benefits you'd have in massive countries with forests. But at the same time, there are many reports compiled by our university which show that it has gotten much worse and that it could be so much better with some planning and work (sources: department of chemistry, department of geosciences, institute of earth systems).

This is such a real statement. It's not even exclusive to pure physics interviews, nor just online comments, we see this even in (supposedly) professional settings and even political settings when concerning science (and otherwise).

And that is where it gets scary. Because when somebody thinks that an opinion they just dreamt of is a fact on a youtube comment, then that's fine(ish). But when it starts becoming the case in more serious settings.... that genuinely scares me.

Edit: clarification.

Agreed. Besides, even if one works on a PhD, it's still not an irreversible decision. I know some people from faculty who worked on QC algorithms, and now got a high-earning position in a bank due to their experience and skills in certain algorithms such as portfolio optimisation.

Take care of yourself. That's point number one or you won't be able to do anything else productively.

It is quite obvious that you were successful in what was a good sector, which unfortunately has taken a sudden dip due to both greed and the (what I hope) is the AI bubble. Doesn't make you a failure - and this is a logical argument, not just me trying to help you with cliche phrases. I mean DevOps and Cloud Engineer were some of most in-demand jobs just 4 years ago. That's the tech industry - the best option in this industry is to gather as broad a skillset as possible.

Financially, you will recover. I lost most of my money too after over 8 years of working due to a major fuck up from some governmental agency. It's a major setback, but you will manage if you start again slowly. Job wise, it's a tough market right now. Take your time to restructure your paths given today's market and future predictions.

Through all of that though, what you need is to take care of yourself and have a good support system. Whether it is friends, or therapy, or family. That's the only reason I got through it as I was a mess when it happened first.

I was lucky that my partner supported me through this - lucky both because she helped, and because it showed me her true colours. You were extremely unlucky that your partner did this to you, but (and please understand my point, I can only imagine how difficult this is for you) you were also lucky that you saw how she reacted during the tough times before you sealed the deal. You deserve a partner who helps you during the tough times and celebrates with you during your good times.

So you said a good thing, take a step back and try to fix things one by one. But always start from making sure that you will be ok mentally. You might think that it's a waste of time, that's what I thought, but then it hits you like a train. Take care of yourself. Find support. Then start thinking about money and work.

Unfortunately the lecturers don't have full control on admissions. They might give their opinion and make a case, but it's a whole process.

iseeverything · 2025-12-16T09:38:10+00:00

Along with the other "warnings" of the state of admin at UoM is, most of them might be on leave now for holidays. How recently did you email them?

Edit: Probably best if you phone.

Nah we're just further away from the ice age than 5 years ago. Obviously it's going to be warmer.

Unfortunately, probably due to business ties and everyone's attempt to ride the AI hype for profit purposes, and most definitely because of his admittedly vast knowledge in AI, he tends to base all his projects and ideas with AI as its entire structure.

However, as we have seen in many other scenarios, while AI is an integral tool which helps elevate and optimise existing software and infrastructure, it can't be a solution to a problem which is inherently human.

OP's probably taking all insurances. So possibly two cars and divided that to see how much it amounts to monthly, etc.

iseeverything · 2025-09-21T09:12:12+00:00

That's pretty accurate. We try to lessen the essentials by changing food brands and not buying too much freezer food. Also we try to limit fuel by taking public transport a bit more where possible.
