It always confused me that a short pipe with two male ends was a nipple.

Outside of making a mess or trashing the place, I think movie theaters need to allow patrons to do more when watching a movie. The movie is going to go direct to video in a month anyway, why not let movie goers have fun?

It depends on the mess, but kids movies are always messy and theaters have the staff on hand to clean those kinds of movies, or can increase staff if necessary.

My guess is that Japan and East Asia are treating this a lot different compared to Europe and North America.

For East Asian allies, the USA is pivoting from the full world to focus more on the Pacific Ocean, so a post Trump USA would still be involved in the region. Also, unlike Europe, East Asian allied countries can't outspend their strategic rival by themselves.

So, they'll spend a little to keep Trump happy in order to keep the USA involved in East Asia while they wait out Trump.

It is likely that the EU is dropping bourbon taxes because US barrels are very important to wineries and distilleries in the EU.

Also, many wine regions in the USA are in liberal states, so this could be the EU trying to target their tarrifs.

People also seem to forget how much it costs to create content, even shitty listicles.

Of course. They would ban any other discussion.

It may not be the doctors complaining.

While not exactly the dynamic between doctors and nurses, I've had to be a "doctor" and deal with people in a "nurse" role. The typical "nurses" enforced a hierarchy where they didn't have to make technical decisions and their work was crap as a result. I got one "nurse" who was proactive and was an asset to my team, but they got pushed out since they didn't play the game the way other "nurses" did.

The person who did the firing was surprised that I thought so highly of the "nurse" who was fired.

Processing the context, you can see how a lot of internet companies have continued the trend of making wage positions "more entrepreneurial".

I completely agree. However, homeowners typically vote more in local elections.

Hell, I had an argument with someone who didn't support a fucking hospital expansion in town because they were worried about the impact of the expansion on their housing price.

Part of the problem is that there isn't a really good onboarding process that doesn't involve getting people to join smaller instances.

Based on dev comments, they seem happy with Lemmy staying small, so there isn't an organization pushing for an equal distribution of new members.

Sounds about right.
