  • I think you might be missing an important part of GDP per capita, and be asking a slightly confusing set of questions as a result.

    Per capita means per person. “GDP” and “GDP per capita” are each very different numbers.

    GDP - tries to measure the total economic output of the country. It might be what you want to use to compare the raw economic might of two economies.

    GDP per capita - This is just scaled by the population. You might use it to see if a small country like Monaco is punching above its weight.

    Median GDP per capita - This third measure is what you might what to use to see how the average citizen in a country is doing. Ideally you’d want to also control for cost of living, but generally a bigger number here means higher quality of life for its citizens, even if the cost of living is also high.






  • I don’t know your specific coworkers, so this is my experience:

    He/they can be a reasonable placeholder for not wanting to confuse non-queer folks with any/all which doesn’t have a great shorthand. He/they gets close enough, especially for something that I don’t have strong feelings about.

    There’s also maybe an argument for putting they if you’re ok with it. I had a trans coworker who very much was not ok with people calling her they.


  • No, any of your accounts should be able to see all communities you might wish to join.

    There’s an exception to that, but it’s not worth worrying about for ages. This may be less likely, as you’re on ani.social and that should be the instance best aligned with your interests; once you’re used to Lemmy, you may find that a community you want is on an instance that isn’t federated with your instance. In that case it’s easy to export your profile and move.
