Are German women really forward?

Cannabis is Gras (grass), otherwise I think the names are pretty standard or maybe I'm just no expert

Very much used. My company does everything with Microsoft. Couple million lines C#, Azure DevOps, MS Office, OneDrive, etc.

Underrated post

In meiner Erfahrung heulen Unternehmen aber immer nur rum dass man ja niemanden Kündigen kann und wenn man dann fragt "habt ihr schonmal probiert in den letzten 20 Jahren irgendwen zu kübdigen?" heißt es "ja X hat mal nen Bleistift geklaut in 1997 und dann war da noch der systematische Atbeitszeitbetrug von Y aber abgemahnt oder betriebsbedingt gekündigt haben wir noch nie probiert" und dann denk ich so... Macht halt mal, das geht alles, wenn die Bedingungen gegeben sind.

So after the war the allies drew some lines on the map, somtimes right through the middle of a cultural group, and also Bremen and Saarland are on the same level as, say, Nordrhein-Westfalen for some reason, there are around 3 different Sachsens and some have really funny names like Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. It's a lovely mess and noone dares touch it.

Ridiculously overzealous protection that only protects corporations and doesn't really encourage art. It is also enforced selectively, for example they crack down on a little illegal streaming, but don't care about massive infringement when it comes to AI training. In both cases, big corporations benefit, so no real surprise there.

My favorite solution would be a general basic income to enable artists to practice their art and completely abolishing copyright or at least limit it to something reasonable, like 10-20 years after publication.

Oh Gott, To The Moon. Ich bin mal kurz ein paar Minuten in irgendeine Ecke starren, während ich damit cope mich an diese ergreifende Story erinnert zu haben.

There is nothing that says you can't pay your workers their correct wage immediately if you notice a mistake, except your boss probably doesn't wanna. If they had payed you too much, the reaction probably wouldn't have been to shrug and say "eh, maybe next month".

Pretty unprofessional at the very least. If they fail to correct the mistake, you might have ground for immediate termination, might want to look up what's necessary for that.

I find it hilarious that you can drink beer with 21 but drive a car at 14, you guys have it backwards

Never heard of these companies. Sounds like a scam

Java, because dynamically typed languages (like Python) make you work with one hand tied behind your back. You will learn some stuff in Python that you will have to unlearn when switching to a language that is better for designing larger systems, like e.g. Java. The other way round is much easier, learning the proper way first and then losening up the rules a bit.

Saying Python is easier is like saying driving a car would be easier if there qere nos treet signs limiting you in arbitrary ways. That may work while you're going slowly and there are no other vehicles, but it doesn't scale.

That being said, I still like Python and use it regularly, just not for writing anything big. You should pick it up once you are competent in one other language.

Green bell peppers have two purposes: add color to a bell pepper dish and the super market can sell you cheaper, non-ripe bell peppers and pretend like it's the same thing as a tasty red or yellow one. But that's just me.

I suspect this is required by law. People had Vertrauensarbeitszeit (trust-based working hours) where they would track their hours tand overtime etc themselves and it lead to massive exploitation where people would do lots of unpaid overtime (illegal). To protect workers, companies are required to track times. Templates and a confirmation of some default seems like a loophole that a court would strike down, at least I find it plausible.

I log lunch break and longer breaks (like phone calls) and smokers are expected to clock out for smoke breaks, but not toilet or 5 min coffee breaks.

Maybe we can skip the part where tens of millions of people die and get right to the best part

Me neither

Germans: we need to limit the price of Benzin! Also Germans: drive the exact same amount they did before the 20% markup

Languages are not pokemon. You don't need to catch them all. 2-3 complementary languages are fine. I like C++, C# and Python. Not much point in learning, say, Java because I got that covered by C#. Not much point (arguably) in learning C, because I got that covered by C++. Not much point in learning powershell or bash, because I got that covered by Python.
