- Comment on Are the inside parts of toilets universal? 1 day ago:
Our toilets don’t have no ‘kits’.
- Comment on Why is the word "expat" a thing? 1 day ago:
Everybody is a foreigner in nearly every country on earth.
But, if you want to declare yourself as special, then you start to make up special terms.
- Comment on is it ok if i don't identify as latino?? please don't say otherwise please 3 days ago:
I seriously don’t know the situation in Mexico.
- Comment on is it ok if i don't identify as latino?? please don't say otherwise please 3 days ago:
If you were born in Mexico and live in Mexico, then why is this relevant at all?
I always thought the racists are only in Usa. Don’t become one. Life is better when you stay a human.
- Comment on Can you scale down a firearm to make an identical looking firearm that fires a different round? 3 days ago:
all the parts
Your finger remains the same. Do you really want a half size trigger?
- Comment on In the US, what is stopping people from bribing members of the electoral college? 3 days ago:
They are already members of the ‘winning’ party in their state, aren’t they?
- Comment on What would it feel like passing through a wormhole? 1 week ago:
The bits in a computer have different meaning. Some are super important, others are not.
Biological bodies don’t have that flaw. Small parts can also have more significance than others, but the difference is not that problematic. And even such small parts are made of many many atoms.
- Comment on What would it feel like passing through a wormhole? 1 week ago:
feel
Nothing.
You would not feel a thing.
The only known wormholes are so tiny that only single elementary particles can pass through.
Now imagine that not one of the molecules of your body is missing, not one atom from that molecule, but only one elementary particle from one atom.
No way to feel that.

Google for Einstein Rosen bridge.

Hey, come on, the question was meant seriously, but not that seriously
- Comment on List of book and/or film titles dealing with resistance movements--organization, strategy, tactics, etc? 1 week ago:
Matrix trilogy

“good”, eh?
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
AI generated troll text.
- Comment on Is this what every election is like? 1 week ago:
In former times if one candidate had promised to overthrow the entire system and abolish elections and democracy, then nobody would have voted for that clown.
- Comment on Did 70% of Wisconsin voters just delete their own constitutional guarantee to be eligible to vote? 1 week ago:
What did change was the explicit exclusion of people outside of those qualifiers.
That’s not the point. Don’t focus on the logical conditions, because they have not changed.
As far as I understand it, the important change is the missing “Every”.
Before, the “every” had made this a guaranteed right. Now that is gone, and only conditions are left.
The right to vote could be taken away from some people by creating further conditions in the future.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
Serious question?
Because you pretend to ask for the best ways, but in the details you seem already determined to some really bad way.
- Comment on Whould everyone doing nothing be a viable option? 1 week ago:
It is a general strike, what you are suggesting. Whether you like the name or not.
- Comment on do you think lemmy will ever be popular? 1 week ago:
Subscribed. Thank you.
- Comment on I'm going to try not to swear when you're around. Is this a good apology to a coworker? 1 week ago:
Really not a good apology.
It comes off as looking down on the other person.
Note I didn’t insult the coworker (no fuck you or fuck off), but simply said ‘fuck’ out loud
So it is all just bad behaviour on your side. You can apologize for that: Your own behaviour. NOT the coworker’s interpretation of it.
- Comment on do you think lemmy will ever be popular? 1 week ago:
Well, in some communities the modlog contains real information to each action, while in others you barely find any entries, let alone useful info in these entries.

No.
They just copied redit. That included some bad decisions. Even when redit would do it better in the future, it still does not help lemmings.
- Comment on What do you like/dislike about lemmy? 2 weeks ago:
The mods: self-important, dense, and often pushing their own agendas.
- Comment on Why are laptop adapters so much larger than phone adapters of same power rating? 2 weeks ago:
Sometimes the power rating of these chargers is created by math, not by physics. And then it is the sellers who do that math :)
- Comment on If there are motherboards and daughterboards, are there fatherboards and sonboards? 2 weeks ago:
No. When you see 2 or 3 motherboards to tether, the are probably doing rasbian stuff.
- Comment on if you quit a job you didn't like or was toxic, didn't the financial hit scare you? 2 weeks ago:
I was not scared at all, because it was the very normal thing for me to find a new and better paying job first.
But I was lucky because that asshole boss did rarely actually show up and make my life miserable. He was too busy with making so many others miserable, too.
- Comment on have you ever been given a warning or suspension for using profane language at work? 2 weeks ago:
If I get a written warning, is this a reason good enough to start looking for employment elsewhere?
To those of you not in America. Is it different where you are?
Germany here. We have explicit laws protecting workers.
If the company wants to terminate your contract, then there are only a limited number of specific reasons that are allowed. And then they must observe a notice period usually (1-2 months). The worker can easily go to court against it (costs are moderate) to have it checked.
If they want to fire you immediately (all subsidiaries of foreign corporations usually want that, and most of the German big corpos too), they can suspend you from working, but you still get your pay until the end of the notice period, or you can make a termination agreement that ends the contract immediately and you get all that money (plus maybe a little more, negotiable) at once.
And there is another way: if you have severely violated your duties, then they can terminate you immediately, without paying any longer.
But it is only with very serious violations, where they can argue that it isn’t tolerable for the company to have to endure you any longer. Many such events actually go to court afterwards, so they really have to be careful to do it right.
If the violation was not so severe, they can give you an official warning, usually in writing. You can also go to court against the warning, and the court can nullify it, if it was wrongful.
If you have received a warning and it was valid and afterwards you do the same violation again, then they can also terminate you immediately. And again, you can go to court to have it checked, like above.
- Comment on What are some powerful open source projects everyone should know? 3 weeks ago:
Posting the same to several communities does not help to your defense either.
- Comment on What are some powerful open source projects everyone should know? 3 weeks ago:
It’s an advertisement, not a question.
- Comment on Why did it take so damn long for humanity to "learn" how to draw/paint realistic images? 3 weeks ago:
For a long time humans were simply too busy trying to survive.
Humans had culture and art during all times, regardless if you understand it or not.
