  • Eh, there’s a notional aspiration to socialism at least, which is more than can be said about the US sphere of countries.

    In practice though? Yeah, China is hyper-captialist, without much of the social security present in wealthier countries.

    Why Leftist get a hard-on for the former USSR, Russia and China, or frankly any country, is beyond me.

    There are positive and negative outcomes in line or against socialist ideals everywhere (I think people are too black and white about China in both directions personally)

    I just do not understand simping for any country, just because they are “socialist”.




  • I like go in add spaces between the value and the unit in documents other people have prepared, when they write 50°C or something. The standard says there should be a space: 50 °C

    Non-breaking spaces, even better in my opinion 😘👌

    (Alt+0,1,6,0 on the numpad for all my homies using Windows at work)

    Don’t get me started on people using O’s with super script to get degrees, drives me nuts. (Alt+2,4,8, or find it in the MS Word symbols menu ffs)



  • This may be Australia specific, but do job postings not spell out what they want in other countries?

    Like, job postings in Australia (these days) are: this is the job, here are the key selection criteria, please provide us a resume and cover letter (or just a resume, or cover letter optional, etc). Even down to maximum number of pages sometimes.

    They just tell you, and part of the way they weed people out is if they fail to follow what’s written (simple way to weed out anyone paying no attention).

    Do other countries just have to GUESS what the recruitment managers want at each company?
