Yep, that’s true, the latest census was from 2021, and the figure was 3.69%.

Probably the figures weren’t available to Ipsos at the time, despite the publishing date :/? Idk…

Alternative view (directly from the source):

IMO being off by around 10% or more is still quite the leap.

in essence, civil contracts is an umbrella term for two types of contracts: Contract of Mandate (Umowa zlecenie) and Contract for specific work (Umowa o dzieło). Employment contracts (umowa o pracę), which are its own category of contracts, are the regular employment contracts most people are familiar with.

Basically, the 1 major difference between the civil contracts and employment contracts is that you’re entitled to benefits (overtime compensation, maternity/paternity leave, PTOs), work is done in specific work hours (up to 8 hours per day if I recall correctly) and are governed by the Labor Law (at the cost of taxes 😦), whereas the civil contract has none of those and are regulated under the Civil Code, with the benefit of having a higher take-home pay. Oh and either an employee or employer can terminate the agreement at any time under the civil contract.

The changes coming into effect at the start of 2025 concern employers not because this limits the opportunities of foreigners, surprise surprise, they don’t give a fuck. They’re concerned because this means they will lose out on $$$ that they save from not having to pay those benefits, and foreigners are concerned because this basically limits their options at getting anything resembling a job legally in a job market that’s already in the crappiest state possible.

Although I don’t tune in to live sports, I just share resources to find free livestreams/media with others :P

Serendipity, idk it sounds cool, “serendipitous” moments happen a lot irl (e.g. forgetting to bring ur wallet with u to the supermarket but minutes later, you end up finding a coin in a random pocket from your jacket to unlock a shopping cart), but it almost only sees its use in fiction, like…

our civilized and altruistic IMF lending vs their horrifying Chinese extortion schemes!!! 😱

beautiful

is that a yes?

Yep, I searched for “Safe Place” as was originally in your comment and found “Safe Space” seconds later, which I assumed what you were referring to

Perfect, this is exactly what I was looking for, ty!

same (In addition, I’m a foreigner). It was already bad, but it sure as hell is getting worse by the day. They also feel entitled to move around the world freely but at the same time talk about how immigrants are problematic, not “integrating into our culture properly” and chant shit like “Polska dla Polaków”.

Good find, I had assumed people around here would at least have uBlock Origin with at least one Annoyances filter on (or similar), this is possible via Firefox mobile as well. I didn’t get the prompt as well on desktop, probably because of the Annoyances filter that blocks the consent prompts anyway.

Here’s an archived link, not sure if that helps: https://archive.is/qHSPD

I’m not sure I’m understanding this correctly, the prerequisite for a video game to be a “runaway success” is to do well sales-wise in the west? Why is the source of sales that important when the article mainly praises and discusses the game’s launch figures, behind-the-scenes, the studio’s lore, etc… like any other video game articles do? The author isn’t suggesting the sales are doing well in the west, so what warrants discussion of the games’ sales in the west in the first place?

The article’s headline alone says it’s “One of the Fastest Selling Games In History”. If we take the revenue value in the article to be true ($852 million in revenue in 2 weeks), then it beats Elden Ring by around a $100 million, give or take, in the first 2-week period (I’m assuming each copy costed 59.99$, so 12 million copies roughly translates to $720 million in revenue, since actual figures were never revealed, I think).

The article also states that it sold 10 million units in the first week, oh wait actually, that’s 10 million in 3 days, beating other games that took at least a month to reach a similar milestone.

love how commenters around here haven’t wasted any time to downplay the success and zeitgeist surrounding this game.

Bingo.

what blind “brand loyalty” to Apple and sinking cost fallacy combined looks like:
