Do you mean “we (humans)”? Because “the royal we” just means “I”. Like how the queen says “we are not amused” when they mean “I don’t like it”. Related to how in many European languages (including early-modern and older English) the plural is a polite form of address (like tu and vous in French, du and sie in German, thou and you in English)
We will, one way or another. At some point simply enough people will have died that we will stop making things meaningfully worse 🤷♂️
To be fair, they also don’t complain about all sorts of stuff they probably should complain more about
Depending on when this “study” was done the Prius probably had a NiMH battery though.
The place that, despite being by far the most expensive in Germany, has rents half those in London? Lower than Paris but with much higher wages? Thanks for proving my point.
What do you mean? A house in the city is almost always more expensive than a house in a rural area, in every country
It’s all relative but housing in Germany is pretty cheap as a percentage of income compared to most western countries
Wtf, I like bard now?
Yeah but heroin doesn’t make you cray the way meth does
The flaw is that the checksum is so bad.
A bay-em-vay drei even
What about three weeks of extra annual leave, public holidays, real healthcare with no bullshit co-pays (and unlimited sick days, they don’t count towards “pto”), a maximum 35 hour work week… Because that’s more like what it would look like for a higher value job like that. Depends on the country and the job, of course. But in my case in the UK right now, and in my last job in Germany, my total “pto” in US terms has been roughly two months. (Which is a lot even here, but it’s not by any means unheard of, and easy to get if it’s a priority to you). Doing a job with an average salary of about 100k in the US, and I get paid a little over 50k £ for it, which is about 1.5 times the median salary here, so even after the recent inflation it affords a pretty comfortable lifestyle, it’s enough money to pay the mortgage and take holidays to the continent in my ample time off.
Sorry, this turned into a bit of a rant, but tldr: it’s not just “an extra week”
No yeah that’s exactly the problem. Because it’s musk, we can be confident it is just bullshit and won’t result in any meaningful innovation. It’s just torturing monkeys for shits and gigs.
