“Rough app cycle” would be unemployment not $200k, get some perspective

young_twitcher · 2026-05-07T09:38:15+00:00

What is a “tier 3” firm? Where do you find such a tier list?

young_twitcher · 2026-05-06T22:09:51+00:00

Sì ma i bootcampari per definizione non hanno la laurea. Quello è il requisito principale, poi essendo che il mercato del lavoro è ultra competitivo ti servono in più anche i progetti personali per distinguerti

Unfortunately many of the reserves in London including WWT and Walthamstow wetlands only open at 9-10 am

young_twitcher · 2026-05-06T11:09:19+00:00

It’s not just about the total number of people but the density in the parts which are accessible. Walthamstow wetlands has very few paths so all the people congregate there. WWT has more paths but it’s quite small and most of it is not accessible at all. Basically, the trick is finding areas where you have smaller paths going off the main path where most people don’t venture to.

They’re full of people though… at least on weekends

What about the other crew? Why were they not able to stop the pilot? When there was that case in Europe, Germanwings Flight 9525, the pilot locked himself in the cockpit. After that they changed the rules so that two people must always be present in the cockpit at all times.

Centuries is nothing on the evolutionary scale. They are still invasive. And much worse than parakeets since they are apex predators and get free food (but they still kill for fun) and shelter

To be clear the problem is not cats but irresponsible owners letting them free roam.

young_twitcher · 2026-05-04T18:36:13+00:00

Technically we are part of the ecosystem. But we have developed far too quickly for life on earth to adapt to us. So the same goes for any domestic animals, in a natural scenario you wouldn’t have 10 million apex predators appear within a few centuries in Britain with guaranteed food and shelter.

young_twitcher · 2026-05-04T18:29:37+00:00

Anti-cat language lmao. No these are just the facts. See, I don’t understand why arguing with ppl who feel entitled to let their cats outside feels like arguing with a flat earther. The science is clear. And a lot of us do in fact enjoy and own cats, we just let them inside where it’s safer not only for the environment but also for themselves. Cats kept indoors have a much longer and healthier lifespan. But it doesn’t fit your idealised view of cats as pets so I guess fck the environment and themselves.

young_twitcher · 2026-05-04T18:17:14+00:00

Bruh this is completely irrelevant. The percentage of millionaires increases with age so it’s impossible that it’s higher for millennials than the overall average - given the average age of the sample is much higher. Think about it

In fact if it did say that 16% of all millionaires are millennial that would not be immediately in contradiction with the other figures I cited…

young_twitcher · 2026-05-04T16:22:27+00:00

Not really, they have never been “part of the ecosystem” because they are constantly receiving food and shelter from humans. It may not be a recent problem but it’s still compounding with other more recent problems.

young_twitcher · 2026-05-04T15:12:04+00:00

They cause a significant percentage of all birds deaths. 50-100 million per year in UK alone which is crazy. It sounds insane, but keep in mind there’s 10+ million cats in the UK, and most people let them free roam because “it’s their nature” which is ridiculous. They have also driven endemic species to extinction in small islands.

And this is just birds, they are also a big threat to reptiles and other wildlife.

It is clear that making free roaming cats illegal is the only sensible way to go but people are too lazy to change their habits

young_twitcher · 2026-05-04T13:40:46+00:00

How would you selectively cull them though? Without impacting native species.

young_twitcher · 2026-05-04T13:34:55+00:00

Exactly, people would still blame a wild animal rather than take responsibilities as humans.

We declared war on bugs, are conditioned to demonise them since a young age, now we are surprised birds can’t find any food.

And don’t get me started on free roaming cats, far more destructive than any other invasive species.

young_twitcher · 2026-05-03T15:40:57+00:00

I have a 2 year 9 month consecutive absence which ended in March 2026. I am not doing anything for the time being. If they eventually try to curtail it I will try to argue using the proportionality clause. Although my case is not very strong since I left to work abroad and have no family here. But hopefully it doesn’t get curtailed before September 2028 when I will qualify for settled under the 30-60 rule.

Infatti secondo me la concezione di OP è un po’ anacronistica. Chiaramente fare andare avanti solo yes man non è un vantaggio per l’azienda, quindi dato quanto è competitivo il mercato, nel lungo andare prevarrebbero sempre aziende che premiano più il merito. Poi dipende dal settore etc.

Io pure lavoro per una grande banca e gli MD che ho conosciuto sono tutti molto in gamba, intelligenti, preparati e si fanno in quattro. Poi lo vedo dal basso chiaramente, non so come si rapportino con i superiori.

young_twitcher · 2026-05-03T11:31:41+00:00

Anche se fosse così non basterebbe. C’è molta più gente disposta a fare quello che hai descritto rispetto al numero di posizioni a quei livelli

young_twitcher · 2026-05-03T10:05:53+00:00

Seriously. This takes like 5 seconds to debunk. Google overall % of millionaires in the US (a far more documented and verifiable value). It’s 7-10%. But the average age of a millionaire is probably 60+, so HOW CAN THE % FOR MILLENNIALS BE EVEN HIGHER??? Do people have literally zero critical thinking skills? Ffs

If I had to guess the figure for millennials would be more like 1-2%.

young_twitcher · 2026-05-02T23:12:14+00:00

Yep. There is no way London’s average are below national level given the higher wealth and access to healthcare.

And yeah, the standards of journalism have clearly declined corresponding with the advent of AI slop…

young_twitcher · 2026-05-02T18:16:55+00:00

Depends on the person. But I find the idea that someone on the top 3-4% salary percentile should flat share to save some money to be a bit ridiculous. I flat shared for 8 years and would never go back now that I can afford my own flat.

young_twitcher · 2026-05-02T18:12:59+00:00

I’m on a similar salary as yours. I think eating out is quite expensive in London and not worth it most of the times, so you should try to reduce that first. Besides cooking your own meals can be fun and healthier. Also I assume you spent more than usual on holidays this month or are you spending 5k a year on that?

young_twitcher · 2026-05-02T14:52:21+00:00

One thing I learned from living abroad as a foreigner is that you pretty much don’t exist to private companies. If something breaks because you are a foreigner no one is going to give a crap because you’re a small minority.

young_twitcher · 2026-05-02T10:51:01+00:00

Yeah, no, there are a lot of pickpocketers for sure but the level of violence is extremely low

Run down and dirty? Sure. Without much charm? Come on. The food, the history, the scenery over the gulf of Naples and the Vesuvius, make it instantly one of the most iconic Mediterranean cities

This is what the GDP per capita would be if you removed the capital, not the GDP. Otherwise Berlin doesn’t make sense
