3 days agoThere are a few more names for Germany, usually chosen for the German tribe closest to the neighbouring country.
Alemannen, Germanen, Deutsche (Tiutsch in old German, which became Tyskland) and so on.

Is like saying

Which one?
4·8 days agoAs “Spaced” has already been mentioned, “Wasted” hits the same spot. Sadly it’s only six episodes.

18·24 days agoIn Germany it’s legal for an employer to visit an employee. The employee is under no obligation to open the door, however.
As this article covers, it doesn’t really make sense to visit an employee, as the issue might not be visually apparent.
Idk about Sweden, but in Germany middle management visited sick employees at their homes to check whether they were really sick.

5·29 days agoThis reads as if the offer came from the other side.
“To avoid legal repercussions, you can offer the US president a bribe.”
So basically extortion or protection money.
You can read it in the playbook Putin is using.

It’s not like the Nazis already had this exact same idea. Oh wait. They did.

If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.
First, the Two Santas strategy dictates, when Republicans control the White House they must spend money like a drunken Santa and cut taxes to run up the U.S. debt as far and as fast as possible.
This produces three results: it stimulates the economy thus making people think that the GOP can produce a good economy; it raises the debt dramatically; and it makes people think that Republicans are the “tax-cut Santa Clauses.”
Second, when a Democrat is in the White House, Republicans must scream about the national debt as loudly and frantically as possible, freaking out about how “our children will have to pay for it!” and “we have to cut spending to solve the crisis!” Shut down the government, crash the stock market, and damage US credibility around the world if necessary to stop Democrats from spending money.
This will force the Democrats in power to cut their own social safety net programs and even Social Security, thus shooting their welfare-of-the-American-people Santa Claus right in the face.
No, he doesn’t make cars. That’s what robots and wage slaves are for. But that doesn’t have anything to do with him being a founder or not. (not)

Once described to me as “a song you can club someone to death with”
But did it always double the output of factories?
Hello, fellow Satisfactory enjoyer!
In most places this is included in the accommodation’s bill and isn’t a lot of money.
Some cities have quite huge fees of you want to drive an old car with a dirty engine into the center. Some will even fine you for it.
I suggest getting a ticket for public transportation. There are tickets available for a day, week or month, covering cities, countries or even the whole of Europe.
