Are you from that country that just voted in a convicted felon as their next president?

Am I blind or does the article not indicate how many companies trialled it?

Also, this alone would significantly improve my job satisfaction:

Reports from the trial showed that the frequency and duration of meetings was reduced by 60%, which makes sense to anyone who works in an office – many meetings could have been a simple email.

Ignoring the insurmountable pile of contradictions in the bible, hell is actually the default afterlife destination due to humans being born with "original sin" (don't know if that applies to embryos, but apparently god wasn't aware of embryos when the bible was written).

Each sect has their own beliefs on the matter, with the majority believing all babies and children go to heaven, even though the bible does not explicitly say that this is the case.

No way in hell I'd want to be a farmer these days. That shit seems like the most stressful career possible.

Something like gardener/groundskeeper looks good to me though.

I don't know if this was a test run or an actual operation of some kind, but Russia evidently wants to carry out more of these attacks, as they have been mapping out these cables for years now, and have recently been running national internet outage drills.

I'm not very deep in the conflict

It would seem that you have not even done some preliminary research on the subject.

Trying to have a discussion with someone who has very little knowledge of this issue is not an easy task, nor is simplifying it.

It is a long and complex history, and whoever you talk to is going to have different answers about how long it is, what happened, and why it happened.

While nuance and much important additional information is lost in Wikipedia articles, they are a very useful resource for understanding the main points, and they also tend to be one of the least biased sources. If you are genuinely interested in learning more, this is a good place to start:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israeli%E2%80%93Palestinian_conflict

If you actually do read through most of that page, I will be very surprised if your take away is still "everyone is the asshole here."

I'm not from the US but I know that I would really struggle morally to cast a vote for either party.

Yes, voting for Trump because of Palestine is stupid, but I can easily see how voting for the party that keeps sending money and weapons, and supporting them in the UN, while pretending to ask them to "be more careful about killing civilians", would not be very desirable either.

The US electoral system is absolute dogshit, but in my opinion the Dems lost this election all by themselves.

Edit: are the downvotes because you disagree, or because you're upset that I'm right?

It also says that younger generations (who presumably consume the most social media) are the biggest readers of books, and that they appear to be the most ready/keen to enact change.

Based on the data presented in the article, it's clear that you can consume both types of media/information simultaneously without "throwing away your phone".

Relations between Ireland and Israel have long been strained because of Ireland’s stance on Palestine.

Yeah it's all Ireland's fault that relations are strained 🤦‍♂️

I really hope you're right about that - a quick dive into the Facebook cesspit shows that there seems to be a lot of support for his nuclear potato plants.
