  You’re implying here that the poor bosses have to hire men for some reason beyond their control, while they would really like to hire women instead.

  The one data point that would support that it’s applicant ratios as I already mentioned. We don’t have that afaict.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨dyk⁩ ⁨⁨22⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  The premise was that there is a preference to hire women over men. The fact is that 66% of the workforce is male. Where is the preference?

  We have no information about applicant ratios which would be helpful. So the conservative estimate is 50:50 until we know more. But in any case, the current data give us no indication for a preference for women that was claimed in this post.

  Get some sleep!

  Why that precise time than? Was that a standard business unit in Japanese occupied Uruguay in 1983?

  That tells us exactly nothing about your job.

  Nurse? Cook? Physics professor?

  I doubt even the premise is true

  Two friends of mine are in a similar age difference range. One of the happiest couples I know. She is the younger one and a very beautiful person, but it’s not a sugar daddy relationship (they both have basically the same job). I think she also initiated this and is even more deeply into it than him.

  Hope that helps

  Can’t really say it so clearly. Are you a Chinese exchange student who has been studying Japanese for a year and somewhat gets by? You’re fine. Are you a literal native speaker but your father is black and you’re a ハーフ?

  I recently reached the stage where katakana are worse because you kind of have to find out what they are supposed to mean to get the intonation right. Sometimes it’s freaking impossible without looking it up, like with オードブル

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do YOU consider Kanji difficult?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  And you consider Japanese Kanji easy (context of the post)? What I heard from Chinese friends is that it’s just a chaotic mess

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨College core: you sit in the class for attendance then go home and teach yourself⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The other thing is, there are maybe 10% max of students who understand it on their own and it hurts forcing them to come to class (it’s department policy in my case). 80% don’t do shit but most are exam smart enough to pass. I wouldn’t give those any responsibility for any serious project at this point, but I don’t know how they develop after graduation. 10% are just lost.

  Now try to design a course that accommodates all of them appropriately.

  Regular gym bro here, tried home gym for a while, didn’t work for me. Main issues are:

  • progression, you have to increase difficulty over time which is difficult with no equipment
  • equipment is fucking expensive, although it may pay off after a year or 2. Resistance bands may be an alternative but restrict you in other ways
  • no pull exercises in my case, my house is fragile and I’d break things. Literally no place to attach anything to
  • I ended up not training regularly anymore because it’s harder for me to maintain a routine like that. It’s helpful to have a separate space for that

  Overall, if you spend several hours per week with exercising, I’d recommend you use proper equipment. It’s just so much nicer. Home gym can work if you have the space and routine, but not in my tiny ass apartment. Fortunately gyms are not as extractive where I live.

  Also, exercise is great for you, don’t listen to the haters. Gym weirdly does it for me, although it’s the most boring shit. Other exercise like bouldering often even comes with other people so you can socialise.
