We'll get you a new Tamagotchi, one with an untwistable stomach!

Except real.

You think there aren't people like Trump running insurance companies with even less accountability?

flukus

Just like no one says "50% tax rate, I'm quitting work because there's nothing in it for me anymore".

flukus

They probably are being discriminated against because they're new/junior. Doesn't make it wrong.

flukus

I think some of those are quitting but avoiding the argument with their parents. Others are probably realising that working nights/weekends is a lot worse than it sounds.

IME both of those have been common forever.

flukus

Which is also stupid, there are situations where you're literally unable to notify you're boss, or where it the last thing on your mind.

Obama ordered his with cheez whiz. (this is true, btw)

Isn't that worse? I never know with Americans and what they consider cheese.

flukus

I honestly don’t know which kind of fantasy is this where counting 160 million paper pieces is better

Population doesn't matter, the number of people counting scales with the population.

flukus

Presumably this was before he took office anyway.

flukus

Probably, it enables them to get away with everything else.

Running anesthesia is both a science and an art,

Very expensive for the specialists (and probably insurance) too. Improvements could make medical care more accessible.

We've been calling it lockyourdoor since the 90s, probably earlier too.

first as a direct cost of business, and second as cost of living issue that means customers no longer have disposable income to spend.

Third, their staff need to be able to afford to live too.

I watched the old James Bonds recently and oh my god they just straight up make out like sexually assaulting women is cool and suave and that women probably really want you but just say no a bit at first to tease and you have to just push on through and they’ll be ecstatic about it

There was actually a scene like this on goldeneye too, released in 1995. I wouldn't be surprised if the rest of the Brosnan era one's had similar scenes.

flukus

IME, a lot of these companies are moving out of the CBD too, which makes taking PT a less viable option for many. Worst of both worlds.

flukus

At least you can open a window on those ones.

flukus

Isn't this picture the Monash freeway? I think most of those people are going to the city.

flukus

You can't build enough rail infrastructure for a lot of modern suburbia either.

flukus

It's space efficient

But not water efficient. Could use the power for desal, but then it's even more expensive.

flukus

with the city police protecting them.

Who is in charge of police there, the city or the province?

flukus

Drink a shit tonne and eat nothing but KFC, at draft age I was already doing this enough to raise my blood pressure.
