well for one I think you're wrong. competition is cancer. also in sport. we sohuld be collaborating, not competing. that's how human being advance.

Many years ago, when I was a student, I suddenly developed a terrible toothache. I’d recently moved from Italy to the UK so didn't have a dentist yet, so I called the NHS for help. They arranged an emergency appointment at a local clinic that same day—a Sunday. I was very impressed!

The clinic was on one of those slightly dodgy-looking industrial estates. To get inside, I had to walk through a plastic strip curtain, which made it feel more like a butcher’s shop than a dental practice. Plastic chairs. Dirty floors. Dodgy peeps waiting. Still, I was grateful to be seen.

I waited my turn, then spent about half an hour in the chair while a man drilled away at what turned out to be a cavity. He put in a filling, and afterwards I asked what I should do next.

“Well,” he said, “I don’t know how long that filling will last. A week, a month, a year—who knows?”

Then, he recommended that I go and see a dentist.

How do you identify them and choose what to invest in? I guess you do not really have access to their technical specifics or sales volumes.

I have a hard time to divert “rm” to “trash” too

also when I remember to put by phone away not to get distracted, then the 2FA requires me to go fetch it...

What do you mean “unfortunately”? What’s the hate for China I don’t understand

those were the days!!

British have no concept of unionisation and avoid conflict at all cost. Their employer tells them they must go back to five days to the office? They all obediently do it

I mean alcohol is the worst drug: it’s highly addictive, toxic to the body, one of the few drugs with potentially fatal withdrawal, and a major driver of violence, accidents, and family breakdown. Unlike most drugs, it seriously harms people beyond the user — and because it’s legal, cheap, and socially normalised, its damage happens on a massive scale.

Sooooo yes happy with pubs closures.

agreed, relationships are built when all parties put effort.

It’s purely luck driving success. The book _thinking fast and slow_ illustrates it quite eloquently. Real geniuses are rare and even then they do not necessary become successful

Precisely my problem. I only apply if I know I’m a good fit and have the required experience. I spent countless hours manually adjusting my resume and writing cover letter out of my heart. Just got the usual cold rejection from a no-reply address. I know do the same with ChatGPT. I also get rejections, but at least I waste little time and can therefore submit many more applications - so my odds are higher

I tried that too e.g. messaging talent recruiter managers on LinkedIn - never got a reply or “accepted” to start chatting
