Would second the BC vibes, but without any additional detail it could easily be Europe too. Don’t know how common a sight like this would be in South America, I’d maybe expect a little less tree growth?

When I saw the staggering amount of managers, associate directors, directors, VPs enter another management position here, I did begin to wonder what the ratio is to actual educators employed (this is specific to SFU, but I doubt it’s much different at other unis).
Don’t even get me started on how they waste their money on bullshit.
We shouldn’t want education to disappear, but holy shit there needs some stronger rules and guidelines about this or what differentiates an actual place of education from a money grab
The same tech companies that dragged their feet or haven’t even left Russia? Those ones would give up on profitable market, risk getting assets in Netherlands and Ireland seized or whichever other jurisdictions that are overseas territories of European countries. One can only hope…

1·7 days agoWhat’s wrong with not allowing machinery to be sold off for peanuts and instead continuing to build cars. Maybe that arrow project that was in some news (all Canadian car), is that not a worthwhile project…oh is it too cheap perhaps???

4·7 days agoI have now spent majority of my life speaking English/living in English speaking country and yeah they love their acronyms. Unnecessary useless acronyms. I suspect they’re wired for it from young age and don’t even realize, because despite starting to learn English at a young age, there was no incentive for me to start coming up with or learning acronyms.

Memes of Production@quokk.au•how i united with tankies to overthrow capitalism
61·15 days agoIt’s only a ploy if you don’t realize there is no communism and never was any anywhere in the world. China, Russia or NK are and never were anywhere near it, so it’s not like you support communism if you voice support for one of those imho. It’s like claiming you love and support brown color just because you love sticking your nose into shit.

Dumb kid zooms past us on the grass from behind because the footpath is rather narrow. No lights, dressed all dark (it was evening and dark already).
Couple more idiot children zoom past on the road, blowing past a car stopped at a stop sign, almost hit pedestrian crossing the road at a crosswalk. Again all dark clothing, no lights. They’re a disaster waiting to happen, but at this point…fuck em

Any recommendations for a foaming soap dispenser that isn’t completely shit though?
Tried a couple; random one in UK few years back (worked fine, should have taken it with us), random one in Canada (was shit from start) and re-used from foaming soap (essentially stopped making foam after 3-4 refills).
Pfffsh I told a recruiter I didn’t think there was opportunity grow in a role after looking up info on the company/reviews/their hiring (let alone the wording of their “confidential” job sheet)…response was that they send people to Tony Robbins seminars. Had to look him up, dodged a bullet there I think

93·1 month agoWell, I also oppose local corporation “ownership” of critical minerals…or government for that matter cuz you just know they’re just gonna fuck it up. Dunno about the indigenous, but at least get haven’t dug it all up, destroying the nature in all those centuries they’ve been around sooo …maybe?
