Well, it's pride season, so the cardio will probably be sex swings and teeter-totters with dildos glued to the seats.

"DOL and OSHA, as well as other federal agencies, are working diligently to encourage COVID-19 vaccinations. OSHA does not wish to have any appearance of discouraging workers from receiving COVID-19 vaccination, and also does not wish to disincentivize employers’ vaccination efforts. As a result, OSHA will not enforce 29 CFR 1904’s recording requirements to require any employers to record worker side effects from COVID-19 vaccination through May 2022. We will reevaluate the agency’s position at that time to determine the best course of action moving forward."

I remember being at some men's rights thingee, and there was an Indian guy there who swore all this Oppression Olympics/intersectional feminism stuff was a big in-joke he didn't get, and he was baffled that his fellow students would claim FOR him that he's oppressed when a) they're all in a big ol' Privilege Club (university), and b) They don't know anything about him. He was really disturbed when he figured out after a few months that these people were serious.

And there was a guy from Korea who was studying medicine who said he really put an effort into understanding the material of the electives he had to take. He looked up all the definitions for the weird words in woke, post-modern crap he had to read, and tried to reason it out. Came to the conclusion that it none of it really said anything, didn't help him in any way, and couldn't be argued with because it didn't address anything real.

The vote was 327-1, so does it matter that the opposition tabled it? What I'm seeing here is, at very least, an agreement by all parties to ensure that everyone who has been there since at least late-2015 gets their cushy MP pension.

e: AND an undisturbed summer holiday...

Because people are fucking stupid and don't understand historical context. Western European Wypipo have had a 600-to-800-year head-start on the rest of the planet re: universities. There wasn't even one in Russia until the 1700s IIRC. And I don't mean the shitty indoctrination camps they've largely become, but the information repositories and innovation generators they're meant to be.

Kids bitch about "boring old white men" and "muh representation" in university classes, but there are reasons for that. Besides the aforementioned, just go look up which countries have patent offices. It's basically just the G7 with a few satellite offices. That's where it's safe and profitable to be innovative.

Another is the English language. 80% or more of academic publishing is done in English. This discludes a hell of a lot of people from participating in said innovation. There's not really another option. South Korea is shovelling tens of billions into standardizing their language into a definitive dictionary, but that still puts them a couple hundred years behind.

And r/K-selection, I guess. I don't know a ton about it, but it seems to make sense.
