Germany.That rule prevents a lot of abuse of marriage laws (like "marrying" before a large windfall income to save taxes, then immediately "divorcing" again).It gives couples time to fix their marriage if possible, before all of the legal ramifications take effect.Or to separate their goods, get legal council, plan moving out, etc. if it isn't fixable.And the mandatory alimony payments allow the partner who cared for the household to leave their (possibly abusive) spouse without becoming destitute.I wonder what makes you think it's backwards?
She called in sick for weeks at her new job after the separation, got fired, and now has no income.The state doesn't pay her any unemployment support because we're still married.(Divorce is only possible after 1 year of separation.)As her husband, I'm legally forced to give her 3/7 of the difference between our net incomes.And since she doesn't have any income, that's 3/7 of my total net income.
I made the conscious decision to mask my autism less in private and stand up for my needs more openly.6 months later my wife left me, telling me she can't take it anymore.
After she had moved out and I realized this was final, a great wave of relief washed over me.Now I have to pay the rent alone, pay her $1k/month in alimony on top, and somehow still have more money left over than during the marriage, lol.And I got to keep the cats!
Once the AI is developed they could deliver mail or stock items in a department store.
That's never going to happen the way you imagine. AI can't make decisions it wasn't trained for, and delivering mail in the real world isn't as simple as you think.Unless you forced everyone to install standardized mailboxes and accepted that important mail won't be delivered to people if their mailbox looks different, got damaged, or is covered in snow.
But assuming it did work, who would profit from AI mail robots?The people would get worse service, without a human connection anymore.The postal workers would all be fired.And as soon as the entire system relies on AI robots, the company leasing them out to the government would increase prices to at least what it cost before, since they've established a monopoly impossible to enter for any competition.
Everyone uses it for oil deals because it's the hardest currency.It's the hardest currency because everyone uses it for oil deals.(Countries that don't, get regime changed by the US military)
The UAE isn't interested in selling oil for Rubles.They want hard currency. And that's the same with all oil-exporting countries.It makes no sense to sell a non-replenishing resource in exchange for currency that may or may not be worthless in the future.
A friend of mine gets asked that all the time, cause he's brown-skinned with dark, curly hair in Germany. There's the implication that although he's a German citizen and was born and lived in Germany all his life, his "roots" are somewhere else, and therefore he isn't a "real German".
If you get asked that question constantly due to your looks, it gets annoying quickly, cause it implies the question whether you fully belong in this country, so keep that in mind.
This isn't about "AI bad".This is about how incredibly rude it is to expect people to spend 2h on a video OP didn't even care about enough to watch it themselves, and the uploader didn't even care about enough to make it themselves.
Also, imagine the casting process."We're looking for a teenage girl who's, like, really hot and willing to play a sexual role."Jodie Foster and Kelly Preston, both 18 at the time, auditioned but they said "Nah, we'll go with an underage actress instead. But then we'll need a body double, so who among these applicants looks like a teenager in the nude the most?"
I'd say we had opposing neurodivergencies and our masks met in the middle.
