My understanding is the companies in america that are finally giving us a domestic molybdenum-99 supply are doing it through lame nerd neutron bombardment. We can't even build a loving reactor anymore!

I don't get carded anymore, but I'm guessing that has more to do with my increasing amount of Grey hair.

my early gen-x boss loved to complain about how much our zoomer job applicants are asking for "they barely know anything and they think they're worth six figgies for a jr/intermediate dev role"  so he passes on them, they go somewhere else and get that six figgies and more

its always projection. rich people are the most "entitled" group of people possible. they have tons of money and think they earned it through a perfectly fair system that rewards hard work, meanwhile millions of people literally die from their own lack of money despite working harder than the rich people, its just their jobs are deemed poor people jobs and thus they deserve to be poor.

The old(er)-heads I work with love to talk about how they were medics making 9$/hr in the late 80s and I’m like YEAH DUDE RENT WAS LIKE 200 A MONTH FOR YOUR OWN APARTMENT. Now even making high 20s it’s hard for my colleagues to find solo living spaces around here, because studios rent for 1800+ and require first and last months rent and non refundable deposits, along with absolutely spotless credit. The future loving sucks.

Cold on a Cob posted:my early gen-x boss loved to complain about how much our zoomer job applicants are asking for about two weeks ago there was this big trending post on local social media about how zoomers were asking for starting salaries right out of college that all sorts of small business owners and HR types claimed was way too high and the reasoning always come down to one of two things: 1. "companies are never going to pay you that because people are paid based on their skills and contributions" 2. "companies are never going to pay you that because no business could afford it" now the latter one is laughable on its face, but the first one especially is like; gently caress you, nobody gets paid based on their "skills". people are paid based on the minimum that the company can get away with and can badger people into thinking is acceptable. It's never about merit!!!

quote:We live in a small German town called Otterberg because of my husband's job. Also, we can't afford to live in a city like Berlin or Frankfurt, where there are more young people and other expats. lol this is worse than that woman that moved to a rural suburb of edmonton, ab and then complained about the lack of night life

quote:I feel seen, and treated, as an outsider. I'm half Korean and half white, and I do notice I'm treated differently based on my looks, unfortunately. I also experience weekly microaggressions in the form of rude looks and comments about my shaky German. (I still know enough German to understand when I'm being talked about.) And I feel almost no support from the country as an expat, in terms of resources for handling taxes and other residency matters. You are and outsider, genius. Also lol at the shocking realization that Europeans are racist. Edit: double lol at moving to a tiny backwater shithole and complaining about the locals
