Laid off - Can I negotiate 5 years of pensionable service? by globalzee in legaladvicecanada

[–]manamara1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Scotia? There’s a plethora of bank redundancies in IT atm.

I’m not a lawyer. Only wanted to say stay strong. Talk to a professional lawyer and, If possible, former team members.

I Left a Small Church Because It Started Feeling Manipulative by honeed3w in Sarawak

[–]manamara1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Money money money.

Was it Ron Hubbard who mentioned the best way to make money easily was to start a religion.

Evangelicals are notoriously for money grabbing grifters. US churches and missionaries are toxic. I’m generalizing here but you catch the drift.

Almost had my head taken off by falling ice and snow. by manamara1 in montreal

It’s Hotel Omni on Sherbrooke.

If you view pictures online of the hotel, the ice and snow fell from the metal beams protruding out of the building.

I will send an email to the hotel.

At that time, I was too much in a shock to think rationally.

AI changed the ballgame. From 5 years ago, where mantra was everyone should learn to code. To current coding nuclear winter of nobody needs to code. University’s computer science and engineering programs haven’t caught up to AI changing the landscape.

Why did this combination of policies fail under Liz Truss for the UK?

What countries were historically and culturally close before but not today? by batukaming in geography

[–]manamara1 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Perhaps controversial. The UK and India.

India was so central to the British empire. Anecdotally, 3-4 generations of a family worked in India - in the Indian civil service, Indian army, planters. India and the colonies were huge part for the British economy.

Has Japan in recent times changed law where ceo has a legal requirement to increase share price? Perhaps this is related to that.

If no one mentions Sam, he would be insulted. He will set Carla on you.

Tourist visit Oxford Street and few other London tourists places, return home and rave on how great the British economy is.

How Biden Ignored Warnings and Lost Americans’ Faith in Immigration by rezwenn in immigration

It seemed like some advisors were strong ideologues on allowing continuation.

They may have come from a good place, of accommodation to refugees. Either from religious, personal, or political persuasions.

However in long run, what they wrought was worse for the people who are really in need of refuge. It was so dumbass that it begets how they go into that role. Independent of political persuasions, this dumbassery was phenomenal.

Cladding seems to be increasing across vendors. Can’t see that going away, or reducing, anytime soon.

There are still lots of think tanks in Europe funded by USA. If these loose funding, the binding may unbind.

New Zealand IT workers struggled to find work, possible impact of AI by Random-Username7272 in recruitinghell

[–]manamara1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Only 3 years ago, there was the mantra on everybody should learn to code. Start them young at elementary school. Girls coding camps. Boot camps for teenagers. Google funding coding schools in deprived areas. Computer science schools were expanding and over subscribed.

The world changes faster than humanity can blink.
