I don’t think there’s still a “U” in Magastan.

Even from a rightwing standpoint pre 2010, this confirms Russia managed to turn the government and make them their bitch. Which means despite losing in Ukraine like the pathetic genocidal maniacs they are, Putistan won the cold war.

Oh shit here we go again. Mankind is so fucked up. This could be heaven for everyone. But we prefer to exploit, maim and kill each other :(

Yes, I have limited time on my hands. Also don’t feel like wasting it arguing with blockheads like you anymore…

Except I don’t say that.

Wanting to understand where someone died is a bad take? Not the smartest answer…

Lol you complain about my tone and call me a jerk. What a muppet.

Lol? It’s news, and someone misses the most important bit about the news (where) and puts in oddly specific info (name of a person), and you get offended on their behalf because I complain that vital information is missing from the post?

Really? You couldn’t fit the country into the post?

No person should be forced to listen to religious anything, period.

ftfy

And Fotzenfritz bent right over and greased his butthole.

Missed that, but I left NL in 2020 - did he take lessons from our Cum-Ex-Olaf?

I already despised that slimey fucker when he was PM of the NL. His “Breef aan de Nederlanders” was the most disgusting and pathetic attempt to fish for racists votes ever.

These bases won’t be operational for years, by which time we’ll likely be rational again.

You think? I decided I won’t go to Fascistan ever again in my lifetime, about 10 years ago. Neither for missions nor for holidays. Lots of bridges are burnt and it will take more than a lifetime to rebuild trust. By which time Fascistan and Putistan and Europe will likely be irrelevant because China and India etc…

I don’t think it is common at all - I think we need to make it common, by asking all the time - especially those of us that are less easily replaced.

Woosh.

Well - we have a saying in German: “Fragen kostet nichts” - asking doesn’t cost anything. At least you tried then, worst they can say is “no”. Expect that, and who knows, maybe you get a surprise.

Maybe they’ll let you work with a “technical device” that you administrate yourself, while for access to company resources you still have to use the corporate vanilla computer.

Pull them all.

In any case, I am a software engineer and have never had the ability to negotiate my contract to that extent.

Have you ever tried? This kind of negotiation unfortunately typically requires a job change, employers are really really bad at understanding how valuable it is to motivate employees at little to no cost to them.

Teachers are educators, but not all educators are teachers. Also, the person I was originally responding to may have options in other fields.
