No, in Lady Windermere’s Fan, Oscar Wilde has Lord Darlingtons quip that a cynic is “a man who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing”. The phrase is Wilde’s famous definition of a cynic. It means to be so materialistic that one is unable to gauge or recognize something’s true value.
I have interviewed probably a thousand people, hired and managed many teams, though not retail I have to admit. I have had precisely one conversation about hair in all of that time. I was interviewing a guy who had a very large number of thick braids. I said, “the job sometimes requires wearing a hardhat. Is that a problem?” He said no, that he did it all the time, he just needed to tie them back. I should emphasize this dude had a truly impressive amount of hair so I really did doubt he could get it in a hat, but I hired him and he did.
I’ve also had to have conversations about long nails and body odor. It’s not comfortable, but we should not be afraid of these topics ONLY if they are directly relevant to the job. I see nothing in this story where her hair interfered with the job, unless the job is pleasing bigots. Oh.
That’s a stunning reversal for millions of households during a 12-year period that included economic growth and huge stock gains following the end of the Great Recession.
Wow, it’s almost as if most people don’t get any gains from the stock market booming… /s
For most people a strong stock market only mean, in best case, that they don’t lose their jobs. It doesn’t have any real positive effect on their wages. When it goes well for companies we’re told to not ask for too high salary due to inflation. In hard times were told not to ask for too much to save our jobs.
The only time we get an increase in salaries is when there’s either a lack of skilled workers or when we create an artificial lack of skilled workers through unions and strikes.
Note that this is a monoclonal antibody injection and not a vaccine. This means that it will be way more expensive and protection will only last a few months at most. This is still a good thing for that are young and don't mount great immune responses, but an actual vaccine approved for this age group is still needed.
No this drug is actually approved for prevention and not treatment.
It probably would reduce the chance they would get sick and get natural immunity. However a RSV vaccine for infants is hopefully not far off so they can gain immunity that way.
The officers, who are all white, entered a house without a warrant on Jan. 24, assaulting the men with a sex toy and using stun guns and other objects to abuse them over a roughly 90-minute period, court documents show. After one victim was shot and wounded in a “mock execution” that went awry, documents say the officers conspired to plant and tamper with evidence instead of providing medical aid.
Christ, this is almost Emmett Till-level vileness. How many times has this Goon Squad done Klan shit before without quite going “too far” and gotten away with it?
Marine heatwaves are becoming more numerous, a 2019 study found, with the number of heatwave days having tripled in the past couple of years studied. The number of heatwave days rose by more than 50% in the 30 years to 2016, compared with 1925-54. Scientists said at the time the heat destroyed swathes of sealife “like wildfires take out huge areas of forest”.
Doesn’t surprise me at all. I am sure it has been analyzed to death, but I always assumed it was due to most people getting their dopamine hits from the “inner world” of the internet instead of the “outer world” we all live in. I spent years playing video games and masterbating to pornhub videos. It’s not that I didn’t want to find a girlfriend. I just never left the house or had the drive to do so until I stopped focusing so much on the inner world.
