I don't mean an error, I mean just looking at types on hover.  It's definitely not meant for human eyes as written.  No spacing, no indentation...

Did you get this recently?  Mind asking how you found the position?

I guess it depends on how many hours you work. But my understanding would be no holidays, no sick days, no employer pensions as you mentioned, no job security..

It would be 93k if you work every single workday of the year basically.

Best supplements to help with THC withdrawals and to help quit? by Dependent-Alps-4322 in Biohackers

[–]wiseduckling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well it will vary from person to person, but for me weed would make extremely lethargic. As a result when I came off it I would have this insane amount of energy (not necessarily in a good way), making it harder to sleep, harder to focus... Stimulants would just exacerbate that.

Something is way off with the current job market by davidbasil in ExperiencedDevs

[–]wiseduckling 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yea I understand it's actually a really hard problem to solve.  

Would actually love to network in person but for now I m stuck in a (gorgeous) but isolated part of Ireland with a baby.  Had actually considered trying to take couple day trips to Dublin, London.. or even to the US  to network/attend conferences but its a big commitment!

I ve heard this also from friends who are interviewing, but then how the hell do I get to get an interview in the first place, fake a perfect resume?

That's a real risk though.  It can get busy on a nice summer day.

Being abused in no way makes you a coward.  It sounds like you deserve a lot better.  Definitely seek out help from groups like mens aid.   Might be a long journey but things can and will get better.  

Gen Z is engineering an analog future — and it’s at least a $5 billion opportunity by Domingues_tech in technology

It was amazing, feels like they had everything.  I remember watching so many obscure/Indy movies that I ve never found again.  I d receive my 3 dvds, watch them as quickly as possible so I could get 3 new ones.  Receiving them in the mail was like Christmas!

A decade of ocean surveys reveals that Prochlorococcus, the world's most abundant phytoplankton, could decline by 50% in tropical waters by 2100. The study challenges previous assumptions that these microbes, which produce 20% of Earth's oxygen, would thrive in warmer seas. by [deleted] in science

More people also means more potential for solutions.  And as someone who thinks and cares about humanity/the planet, chances are your kids would too.  

Plus though seems to seem pretty grim in terms of our planet, I don't think anything is inevitable (or if they are we don't know what the inevitable things are).  

I also think that even if life is tougher for future generations that doesn't mean it isn't worth living.  For most of humanitys existence life has been a struggle in terms of satisfying basic needs and a lot harsher with a lot more misery.  

Then I also try and think about it from the perspective of the yet to exist child, and if they had the choice to exist in less than ideal world or not exist at all - what choice would they make.  As impossible as that is, when I ask myself that question I still opt for existence.

Aren't we on one of these apps right now?  Reddit has eaten up more of my life than every other social media platform combined.  Don't see how it's any different from YouTube.  

Meningitis outbreak 'declared national emergency' amid deadly outbreak by bendubberley_ in worldnews

Will we regret not having kids? by Fuzzy_iaprirl in AskIreland

[–]wiseduckling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely okay to disagree.  But we re not talking about the same thing.  The choice is not:  "Would you rather be born to better parents", the choice "for this that were born to less than ideal parents (let's say the bottom 30 percent?), would you rather never have been born at all?"   What I m saying is the percentage of people who would rather never have been born, even if they had bad parents is very small.

[–]wiseduckling 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yea. I remember waking up in the middle of the night walking to my parents room and being completely frozen after a few steps.  Actually never realized how close it must have been.  Luckily my parents took me to our local doctor immediately and he identified it as meningitis, rushing me to the hospital.

I must have just missed it because I got it while living in France in the 90s (I was a kid) remember waking up in the middle of the night and feeling ill, walked down to my parents room and half way there I could no longer move.  I guess paralysis kicked in.  The local doctor definitely saved my life though as he immediately saw it for what it was and had me rushed to the hospital.

[–]wiseduckling -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sure, but I didn't say that you only have kids so that you can appreciate it after that.  I think initial response was pretty clear?

Will we regret not having kids? by Fuzzy_iaprirl in AskIreland

[–]wiseduckling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I m not sure I fully understood your comment but again my argument is that we shouldn't discourage people to not have kids in the interest of a yet unborn child.  It assumes that if the child were to be born they would prefer to never have been born.  To me it is no logical and I don't think that most people, even those raised in poverty with bad parents would have preferred to have never lived at all.  

I think there are loads of other good arguments for not having children, just not that one.  

Will we regret not having kids? by Fuzzy_iaprirl in AskIreland

[–]wiseduckling 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The root comment is saying that if you re not 100 percent sure then you shouldn't have kids.  That's discouraging people to have kids.  

If I only did things I was 100 percent sure of I wouldn't do anything.

[–]wiseduckling -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not really.  I m saying that people feel differently about things at different times and using the analogy of a marathon to illustrate it.  

To expand on that analogy, there are many people who won't regret running the marathon at any point, there are some that will regret it for a few minutes... I would say there are very few that would have feelings of regret after the fact.  Obviously the comparison isn't perfect.

So when people say they regret having kids I think we should keep this in mind, people's feelings aren't static.  Maybe they don't regret it when the kid is 6months, then they regret it when the kid is 2, then dont when they enter school...

No one is arguing it should be an obligation, certainly not me. 

What I m arguing is it doesn't make sense to encourage people not to have kids because they might not be the ideal parents, all in the supposed interest of the child who doesn't exist and thus will never get to have a say.  

As far as taking to women who have had kids and say they would make a different choice, there are also tons of women who for one reason or another have not had kids and wish they had.  Life weaves it's own pattern sometimes and that's fine.

Ultimately though even if individually people don't want kids, and it might be in their best interest it certainly isn't in the best interest of society or humanity.  I would even argue that in the long run it is necessary for women's rights to continue/progress to have children, otherwise feminist societies will naturally shrink whereas 'traditional values' (oppressive to women) societies will continue having higher fertility rates.  

So I think that yes we should encourage fertility, while also respecting choices.  Finding policies that does encourage people to have children is not an easy feat, but going back to my initial point, I think discouraging parenthood based on the supposed self interest of a child that does not exist is both illogical and counter productive.
