Negotiating your salary at a job interview feels kind of wrong because you feel like you need that job more than the employer needs you, so you don’t want to ask too much as it could make them not consider you as a candidate. Although many recruiters and HR specialists on social media keep encouraging job applicants to do that. One nurse did just that. Actually, it was the recruiter who suggested negotiating as the candidate’s resume specified her preferred starting rate, which was too high for the company....

Many impactful people throughout history liked to repeat that “With great power comes great responsibility.” But in exchange for carrying that responsibility, one would like to be appropriately compensated. People who are in high-status positions always earn more because of how important their decisions are, but there are many other professions that aren’t necessarily at the top when talking about hierarchy, but their work is just as impactful.

Theme parks have their ups and downs, both literally and figuratively. Some last forever, hosting epic crowds and the queues that come with them. Others just kind of fade away, once places where memories were made, now just derelict or awaiting demolition. Disneyland’s “Tomorrowland”, despite numerous attempts to reimagine it, has slipped into obscurity, getting just a smattering of visitors each year. And no building quite describes how dated the land is better than the Star Wars Launch Bay, no matter the power of the Force....

It is considered that criticizing modernity is the business of boomers. Older people, for example, are well aware that in the past, films were way more interesting, friendships were stronger, the sky bluer, and in general the whole world was much better than it is now. On the other hand, the modern world could be a tad bit better than it really is. At the end of the 20th century, many scientists believed that the new one would become the golden age of mankind - and indeed, with the rapid development of technology, medicine, and the growth of total comfort, one could really expect something like that....
