Depends on the country tbf. Countries (besides the US) generally have labor rights which make working conditions not great but certainly acceptable. Hell, I’d argue the conditions a business needs to meet to fire workers are actually fairly decent over here.

They aren’t but it doesn’t make notice periods any less important in contracts - for everyone involved. It’s a win-win situation to have these clauses because they guarantee a minimum of stability.

Nah, basic torrenting can be done without P2P. It just takes more time and fewer torrents work.

I mean German fairy tales try to maximize Schadenfreude. Bad things happen to bad people - which is fun. Sure, the “bad things” are horrific but children don’t mind that usually.
I definitely remember reading a bunch of gruesome children stories as a child (and they were great)! Struwwelpeter and Max und Moritz are two funny children books with a couple of deaths.

You wouldn’t have a notebook. Any and all stimuli would be banned as the purpose is making your experience horrible.
Also, you get incredibly mundane tasks as well. Maybe you’ll get a couple sheets of random symbols and are tasked to count a certain letter. And if you don’t do this task you can be laid off for underperforming.

But it’s an OS requirement for infinite power!
OP can only have finite power without BSD.
Everyone needs a router with BSD, how else can you set up an overly complex home network??? Obviously every network needs an Intrusion Detection System and an Intrusion Prevention System.

I don’t think pedophile is accurate here.
It’s power difference why someone would want to “date” a 16 year old. It allows for very easy abuse which is usually the main motivation. Sexual attraction to children is less likely because far fewer people are pedophiles than abusers.

Plenty of cultures eat dogs and cats, notably some South East Asians one’s and some people in Switzerland.
It’s more limited though. For example, in Switzerland you may not sell dog/cat meat (or meals made with them). Consumption is limited to animals you owned and slaughtered.

You can inline post the image. For example, this image is not uploaded but hosted on join-lemmy.org:
This is how I inlined it:
Note: The text in the square brackets is optional alt text when hovering over the image. It helps people with screenreaders.
The only requirement is that it is a direct link to the image.

Remove the first “M”, there are hardly any players on the map to save on server costs.
I’ve played both a lot yet it’s not rare to spend 10 minutes without seeing a single other player.
The games are fundamentally, very alone.

They have repos for each “grab”. The warrior is pretty much just a wrapper and doesn’t need to be updated frequently.
Most users are running the specific docker containers anyways as they allow for a higher concurrency than the warrior and perform better.

- Comment on YouTube won't let me watch a video unless I sign in... 3 months ago:
It’s source available, not open source.
It severely limits what can legally be done by restricting modifications and prohibiting “commercial” distribution:
You may not remove or obscure any functionality in the software related to payment to the Licensor in any copy you distribute to others.
You may distribute the software or provide it to others only if you do so free of charge for non-commercial purposes.
Non-commercial purposes is extremely vague by the way. Depending on the country - or even the court in a country - nearly everything distributed on the internet is for commercial purposes.
For example, in Germany, only commercial websites have to put up a legal disclosure consisting of address, full name, phone number and email. Yet courts have ruled that every single website that is available to the public is “commercial” - only private webpages available to a handful of people are non-commercial. If anyone redistributed the software in Germany this license would be grounds for a successful lawsuit.

not having enough therapists or having too many people who seek them
Neither actually. The health insurances are allowed to decide amongst themselves how many therapists are covered. And this number hasn’t been adjusted (much) since 1999 even though demand has skyrocketed since then.
Approximately 50% of therapists in Germany cannot accept public health insurance. Yet there is enough demand from the 10% of Germans with private health insurance ( + those who pay for therapy thenselves) to keep those therapists afloat.
In other words:
12.5% of Germans have been diagnosed with depression => 9.5 million people officially diagnosed which is certainly an underreported figure.
There are ~24,000 therapists in Germany.
As a result, there are 396 people with depression per therapist - meaning if every therapist worked 40 hours per week with 1 hour per client you’d have to wait 10 weeks between sessions.
Now add all other mental illnesses which would require therapy and you’d get an even larger number.
Sure, not everyone diagnosed with depression requires therapy. But this doesn’t excuse the obvious lack of paid therapists - which is openly acknowledged by the public health insurances but they are not legally required to change anything.
