  • Everyone has to learn this lesson the hard way

  • Won't happen here either. If you are sick, your employer has to pay your regular salary for six weeks. After that, your health insurance pays Krankengeld (usually 70% of your gross salary) for up to 72 more weeks. After that, unemployment insurance covers you.

  • Imagine having a set amount of days you're allowed to be sick and are expected not to use them when you actually are sick.

    The US is not failing. It has always been fucked up.

    You make my current government look reasonable even when it's making using healthcare as much of an annoyance and throwing as many obstacles in your way as possible.

  • Imagine this

  • Compared to the possibilities out there, they are all lokking pretty similar to each other.

    That is all I'll say about this, we are already too deep into objectification of women for my liking and I didn't plan to throw up on self disgust today.

  • Oh, it's you again. Fuck off, again.

  • Besides the apparent objectification of (mostly) women in this post, trying to make a point about possibilities and presenting seven almost identical examples is not making the point.

  • If Europe has started experiencing over 40°C heatwaves frequently, then this planet really is fucked

    Jump

  • I won't say we're not fucked, bedause we are, royally even so. But there is a little caveat, at least for non-european parts of the world: Europe currently warms faster than any other area. We're getting our Karma.

  • Okay, "foid" ist dann wirklich kritisch.

    Wie gesagt, "-maxxing" hab ich mitbekommen, aber der Weg, den das (soweit ich das mitbekommen habe) in den Mainstream genommen hat, entschärft den Begriff bzw. nimmt den Incels die Möglichkeit, sich noch großartig darauf zu berufen, was ich wiederum eigentlich ganz cool finde.

  • Bru... That's a fact

    Jump

  • No, you implied a reaction like the one in the post isn't weird since countries don't often have similar names. I counter the reaction is weird because Bosnia and Herzegowina isn't an obscure or never heard of country but the reaction is quite stereotypical US-american (as in "conforms to stereotypes", not in "look, typical US-american).

  • It's like evolving, just backwards.

    Jump

  • Never heard of "Foid" (nor do I know what it means) but "-maxxing" has become pretty widespread now and afaik even the original term ("looksmaxxing") wasn't a term dehumanizing women, just a dumb idea (from a community that dehumanizes women). Usually, the term "-maxxing" is used highly ironically, too, from what I could gather and quite disconnected from incel communities (maybe even claimed away, it's not "their slang" anymore).

    Also I am in my thirties and not really connected to youth slang (much less even to american youth slang since I'm from Germany). To tell me that one does not know what to tell me when making a statement as above is the least helpful thing to do.

  • Antigua and Barbuda, São Tomé and Principe, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Trinidad and Tobago.

    Bosnia and Herzegowina is also not an unknown country.

  • Oh no, kids today speak as differently to us as we did to prior generations, how cringe!

    Let's go, there's a Gammelfleischparty at the club tonight.

  • Two old men sitting on a bench. One asks: "Are you going to watch the football game tonight?""Who's playing," the other asks back."Austria-Hungary," the first man answers."And who will they play against?"

  • Some moments in BSG would give even Janeway pause

    Jump

  • Okay, then we have different definitions here. I see stories on a spectrum regarding how the story progresses and why important events happen. The more the characters are reaponsible for what happens, the more character driven a story is.What you describe I'd call a character study, which is an archetype of storytelling.

    Those are not clear cut templates though, there's a lot of overlap and wiggle room and "things can fit more than one category at once".

    On a side note though, The Expanse is a character driven story under the characteristics you laid down, too. There are many characters studied in relation to their developements under certain conditions, from Camina Drummer and the Belters through Bobby Draper or the Rocinante Crew all the way to Reverend Volovodov; their relations to others and each other, their personal growth, values, etc are often focused closely.

  • No, the story progresses because of the characters' actions and decisions. The story begins because Holden decides to go against his captain's orders and logs the distress call. Joe Miller decides to continue his investigations beyond the necessary. We do have a McGuffin, we so have some events characters reakt to, but many events might have taken place differently or not at all depending on character choices.

  • Chill year actually...

    Jump

  • Idk, gotta ask OP. But six years ago was 2020, a round year, another "warmest year since recording" that seems kinda chill from today's perspective. Though this is yet another made up explanation after the fact.

  • I mean, it's still brickbuilt. Not everyoane likea that, that's fine, but it's just part of what it is. For people who don't like that, there's Revell or similar companies.
