Also at least in my country I can call in sick if I have a headache, will be paid for the day and there is no number of paid-time-off-days, which will be subtracted by one when I do so. The employer continues to pay up to 6 weeks of salary if you need to stay at home due to sickness, and for a period longer than 3 days you need a dr to confirm you’re sick. The number of sick days per year depend on you actually being sick - I was baffled when I learned this is a fixed number in the US (at least for some) . I guess the motivation to work sick when you have a limited number of paid sick days also contributes to the usage of pain killers.

I guess you refer to the next election? I hope there will be one

I want to believe they “lost” them because they called him names

Maybe because they are not constantly facing stupid advertisements telling them their worth depends on a youthful appearance; they are probably in good shape due to healthy diets and physical activity; they do not face the same pressure to perform by capitalism when their age starts to impact their abilities, though that probably happens at a higher age compared to us because of their shape; and they probably don’t know FOMO and don’t think about what could and what couldn’t be achieved in the years left, highlighted by companies who want to sell you stuff or vacations or services, if you are surrounded by ads all the time. Ads can be disastrous to mental health if you are receptive. Simple wellbeing is not a thing if it doesn’t cost you money, happiness is tight to consumption.

Kann mich nicht erinnern wann der mal richtig getickt hätte, und das ganz unabh. von etwaigen Uhrumstellungen

Entgegen der Empfehlung seiner Beamten im Ministerium, die drei Euro pro Maske für angemessen halten, setzt Spahn 4,50 Euro an. Für jede OP-Maske wurden 0,60 Euro angeboten. Die Resonanz ist überwältigend. Viel mehr Lieferanten als angenommen wollen viel mehr Masken als erwartet liefern. Schließlich hat das Ministerium Bestellzusagen für 5,7 Milliarden Masken auf dem Tisch liegen.<

You mean it worked out for the people he didn’t eradicate

I’m so sorry you have to deal with this. And so terrified that anonymity is wiped out that easily

My father in law told me how a guy at work created several pictures with AI for decorating the floor, bragging about saving costs since he didn’t use licensed pictures. But the AI may have used licensed pictures to learn creating those images. Artists lose money due to this being done by companies, which could very well afford paying the artists. I guess a private person creating memes with AI is not threatening anyone to lose their job.

I guess it’s bait for people who like to judge. The idea could be: it’s not responsible to quit science for this and being a mother makes irresponsible choices even worse. That’s not my point of view, but I know people whose life seems to be so empty that they feel a constant need to look down on others and the “mother” information gives them at least 5 more minutes of talking shit about how this is a terrible decision.

Oh <3 thank you - that’s really lovely

Love those colours - everytime I see a photogenic sunset I am on the way home. Sometimes if it’s super nice I exit the motorway and try to find a place with a good view to take a picture, but it’s never as beautiful as I saw it while driving, with the horizon clear in front of me. A nice sunset always makes my day better, thanks for sharing.

Oh I just saw it’s sunrise not sunset - but both are good.

Genuine question: is this is “only” about small gaps between layers where bacteria can grow or also something else? E.g. I always assumed cookie cutters are safe because a) the dough is heated afterwards, so potential bacteria are cooked and b) they are rarely used, so they dry completely out and the bacteria, too.
