Unfortunately I'm inclined to believe this is on purpose to filter out people with self-respect such as yourself.

It's not just a cost-saving thing (though I'm sure that's also a factor), it's a way to make sure the only people who go through with such interviews are those who are very desperate. Because people who are desperate are more willing to subject themselves to poorer work conditions.

Companies will only stop doing this when it actually stops working, which is unlikely given the massive inequality in our world today.

You can also look at Japan, where railroad isn't even the main moneymaker for the companies that operate them (pretty sure some even run at a loss). Instead, it's the hubs that those railroads create (ie all the real state connected to the stations which is owned by the railroad companies and can be rented out to businesses).

In essence, railroads shouldn't be built because they're profitable. They should be built because they're a basic necessity for unifying a country/region. The profit comes from the increased mobility and the new hubs and opportunity that mobility can create. But most politicians are too short-sighted for this.

Mihon or any of its forks:

Note you will need to add the extensions manually but that's pretty easy to do. This is to avoid DMCA issues like what happened a few months ago with Tachiyomi and now Kotatsu (same company that took down both FYI)

Very curious if this counts living with your parents. Because I know for many countries you technically have a home, but it's because you haven't left your parents' house even after you turned 30 (very common reality in the Mediterranean area).

As a European myself, never mention the Romani people to anyone here unless you want to hear the most degenerate, racist diatribe you can conjure up in your mind. (half hyperbole half not)

Ok, let me just cut off my entire family and friend circle out of my life just to stick it to some corpo that doesn't even care about me. I sure showed 'em!

It is wild to me that in the US you're not automatically registered to vote. The idea that you have to go through a manual process to exert one of your most basic constitutional rights is unfathomable to me.

Here when you turn 18 you can just vote. It's that simple. No registration, no ticking a checkbox somewhere, you can simply go out there and vote the moment you're 18.

Yes, I'm sure the reason we don't grow is because we refuse to federate with nazi and pedo content. Oh what will the fediverse do without these folks.

This isn't really a good idea because then you're putting all your eggs in one basket. The whole point of 2FA is that the second factor is in a separate location so if your first factor (password) gets compromised the second one (OTP code) still protects your account. If both factors are in one place you're back to a single point of failure instead of 2, losing a key benefit of 2FA.

If you're gonna do this, at the very least have 2FA with a security key on your bitwarden vault.

Him being gay is actually very relevant because he was profiting off of queer authors' works without attribution while proporting to support their cause. His whole shtick was being gay and analyising media through a gay/lgbtq+ lens. The title highlights the hypocrisy.

Also this is an lgbtq+ focused publication so such a classification isn't unusual.

Still fits in a 1 TB sd card... Barely!

Because Digimon was a tamagochi clone first and everything else second. There was never a Digimon game formula or a Digimon card game formula or a Digimon anime formula. They just made random media to sell toys without any care for consistency. That lack of consistency made it have less general appeal.

Even today it's hard to introduce people to Digimon because there really is no right starting point, it's all different media and how much you like each one depends on your personal tastes.

Pokémon had it all consistent from day one. The tcg, the games, the anime, it's basically all the same even today. You can introduce someone to Pokémon with any media because it's all so consistently transversal.
