Ich habe letztens bei der Wohnungssuche eine Mieterin kontaktiert die einen Nachmietenden gesucht hat. Da hieß es dann vom Vermieter gäbe es die Vorgabe, dass der Nachmietende entweder eine Frau oder ein altes Ehepaar sein muss.

Für 3.000€ sollte ich da vielleicht auch ne Klage draus machen.

CEOs don’t buy their employer’s shares, they get paid in shares.

One issue with owning shares from your employer is that you are hit twice when the company is doing badly. Your shares lose value, while you get fired.

I am not in principle opposed to owning some shares from your employer. This way you have some say in how the company develops. But that shouldn’t come at the cost of diversification in your investments.

A very reductive, contrarian way of thinking. “The US is bad, therefore anything the US opposes is good, actually”

For these people, everything is black or white. There is only the evil US plus its allies, and its heroic enemies.

I have never encountered a fee for paying in cash in the EU.

Maybe you talk fast, quiet or otherwise difficult to understand?

Or maybe the other person was focusing on something else when you started talking to them?

A lot of stuff gets lost in verbal communication, repitition is part of it. That’s perfectly normal, and it’s probably best to not immediately antagonize someone because of it.

Besonders spaßig wenn die betroffene Person ADS (ohne das H) hat. Fällt im Kindesalter praktisch nie auf, und betrifft natürlich mehr Frauen als Männer.

Einfach behaupten das Grundschulzeugnis gäbe es nicht mehr, und dass man schon immer sehr auffällig gewesen sei.

It’s not like international law really meant anything before Trump. It has been broken many times before with no real consequences, also by the US. The UN really doesn’t have the power to enforce anything.

Because my parents aren’t.

They support anything that opposes the US

I have tried to get my point across before, but was labeled a transphobe. I have no issue with trans people and wish them all the best in their pursuit of happiness. I understand the issue they face: Society put them in one of two gender categories, and they don’t feel that’s where they belong. That’s a valid issue in my eyes.

I just don’t really see the current approach fixing this. Its like we saw that there was an issue with racism, but instead of abolishing it, we added more categories like “race-fluid”.

In my eyes, the root issue is the concept of gender identities, and how big a role they play in our day to day lifes. Why does the way people address me (sir/madam, he/she) depend on my gender identity? Why does every form I fill out ask for my gender identity? Why are so many things separated by gender?

I’d like to see a post-gender society, where we don’t need pronouns. Where there is no concept of gender identity, because everyone is just themselves.

Instead of staying inside the box, adding classification after classification, I think we should leave the box and stop assigning a gender identity to every one of us.

I think there is probably a difference here between small companies where there is one owner that knows all their employees and corparations with thousands of employees and anonymous shareholders.

You are probably referring to the recent statements of Masoud Pezeshkian.

I consider them to be mostly political rhetoric, nothing has really changed. Iran has been in a hybrid war with NATO and Israel pretty much since the islamic revolution. This conflict does flare up every now and then, for example in June of this year, or at the beginning of 2020. So far though, it never turned into a total war, and I don’t see why it would be different this time.

You have no obligation to wish anyone a merry christmas.

I’m annoyed by the notion that our bodies somehow need animal protein to build muscles. What we need is a specific mix of amino acids. Animal proteins generally provide a similar mix, but that just means that eating meat is the easy route. It is definitely possible to mix plant proteins to provide our bodies with everything they need (at least in terms of proteins).

And honestly, I’m just tired of animal suffering, man.

It is probably best to listen to your doctor.

Personally, I supplement 25 µg K2 and 20 µg D3 (800 IU), because I am vegan.

2,000 IU seems excessive to me, and I wouldn’t be surprised if you’re overdosing with 8,000. I’m not a doctor tho, so idk.

Bin gerade in den Zug gestiegen, 2 Wagen fehlen, man ist herzlich eingeladen, stehend quer durch Deutschland zu fahren. Habe vorm Einsteigen die Wagen der 1. Klasse gesehen, da gibt es noch reichlich freie Sitzplätze.

I usually take my hourly wage and compare it to the inconvenience. For example, if that inconvenience takes about an hour of my life, but saves me more than my hourly wage, I take it. There are exceptions of course, for example if I am low on money.

Ein Feiertag ist ein Feiertag, ob man frei hat oder nicht. Und ich weiß nicht was verkehrt daran sein soll, jemandem frohe Tage zu wünschen, bzw inwiefern “angenehme” Tage besser sein sollen als “frohe”.

Aber: you do you, boo. Ist jetzt nicht so als wär eine Phrase in meinen Augen besser/schlechter als die andere.
