6·1 个月前However, Ric Gillespie, executive director of the International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery, has expressed skepticism. “We’ve looked there in that spot, and there’s nothing there,” he told NBC News in July.
I’ll stay far away from management. :)
Everywhere i have worked so far (office work) the holiday planning was made just by communicating with your colleagues. You just find a compromise that works for everybody. (Although there is a mentality of “first come, first serve”. If you really need a holiday at a specific time, then better state it early, so the others can plan around it.) The official holiday request afterwards is just a formality, because everything is already planned through and the boss has no reason to decline it.
I am sure there are workplaces where it is handled differently, but that is my personal experience as an office worker.
It’s not actually a rule or law, just what people are usually doing anyway.
If people have the choice to take their holiday on a school break or not, then most take it not on school breaks. Everywhere you go at that time is packed with people.
But taking it during a school break when you don’t need to, when at the same time your colleague can only take it during that time if they want to spend time with their family - well then it is just basic human decency to let them have that timeslot.
2·2 个月前Just a bit of personal 2 cents on that one:
I would not exist if Berlin was nuked in 1945. My grandmother was in Berlin as a refugee of war at the time. She was 4 years old. She would have died for the crime of …being in the same city as Hitler. Millions more would have died and even more would have never been born.

They are probably meant to be mean, because the people described had a very low social status in society.
The primary dichotomy of ancient Roman sexuality was active / dominant / masculine and passive / submissive / feminine. Roman society was patriarchal, and the freeborn male citizen possessed political liberty (libertas) and the right to rule both himself and his household (familia). “Virtue” (virtus) was seen as an active quality through which a man (vir) defined himself. The conquest mentality and “cult of virility” shaped same-sex relations. Roman men were free to enjoy sex with other males without a perceived loss of masculinity or social status as long as they took the dominant or penetrative role. Acceptable male partners were slaves and former slaves, prostitutes, and entertainers, whose lifestyle placed them in the nebulous social realm of infamia, so they were excluded from the normal protections afforded to a citizen even if they were technically free. Freeborn male minors were off limits at certain periods in Rome.
Recently a user here did the math on that and the fair/eco part of fairphone is really miniscule (they spend less than 5$ per phone and a big part of that are fairwashing credits). Unless you need the repairability or the specific specs, you might be better off to buy a cheaper phone and just donate money to a good cause.

123·3 个月前Firefox.com has been operated by Mozilla since 2004. Up until now it redirected to mozilla.org/firefox. They just switched around the redirecting now.
Firefox.org is not and has never been owned by Mozilla.

It is also so extremely pointless. There are dozens of real artworks that look basically the same (just look at the top pictures for googling “discovery of america” or “christopher columbus”). All of them could have been used instead for the meme.
13·4 个月前The wiki page on chocolate is not so sure about that one:
Despite a popular belief that chocolate derives from the Nahuatl word chocolatl, early texts documenting the Nahuatl word for chocolate drink use a different term, cacahuatl, meaning “cacao water”. Several alternatives have therefore been proposed. In one, chocolate is derived from the hypothetical Nahuatl word xocoatl, meaning “bitter drink”. Scholars Michael and Sophie Coe consider this unlikely, saying that there is no clear reason why the ‘sh’ sound represented by ‘x’ would change to ‘ch’, or why an ‘l’ would be added.[4] Another theory suggests that chocolate comes from chocolatl, meaning ‘hot water’ in a Mayan language. However, there is no evidence of the form ‘chocol’ being used to mean hot.[4] Despite the uncertainty about its Nahuatl origin, there is some agreement that chocolate likely derives from the Nawat word chikola:tl.[5]
2·5 个月前Das nennt sich Investment und hat wenig mit Philantropie zu tun. Ob der Käufer sich in diesem Fall an seine Ankündigungen hält wird sich noch zeigen. Aber dass immer alle Unternehmenskäufe in einer Ausschlachtung der gekauften Firma enden ist halt nunmal auch nicht der Fall.
Einzelne Firmen werden doch ständig von Konzern zu Konzern verkauft. Das heißt nicht, dass sich “am Boden” immer was ändert.
Mein aktueller Arbeitgeber ist auch eine deutsche GmbH im Besitz eines ausländischen Konzerns. Auf die Arbeiter und die Kunden hat das aber keine Auswirkungen.
23·5 个月前“Hauptgericht” is a meal. There is no court in Germany with that name.
Do you have a source? I searched and could not find anything backing up your claim, nor have I ever heard about any such decision by any german court.
2·7 个月前The original idea behind the political concept “Eurafrica” (strategic partnership between Africa & Europe), while originated in Germany, has no specific connection to Germany today. It is used as a political term once in a while (especially in France, due to their connections to Africa). Read the wikipedia entry if you want to know more.
But none of this has any relevance to this meme, because here Eurafrica is just used as a portmanteau of “Europe” and “Africa” without any further connection to the political concept of the same name.
52·7 个月前Because french was historically the language of diplomacy back when the rules were made. This is also mentioned in the article.
That “some dude” is a german politician and Member of the European Parliament up until 2024. And I guess it is written in third person because it is not actually written by himself but by someone in his office (Pirate Party).
