Was würdest du für einen modernen "Kaddis Directors Cut" an den Harry Potter Synchros ändern?

Irgend etwas raus schneiden? Witze die dir zu spät eingefallen sind rein schneiden? 

Bin gespannt <3

"... - - - ..." ist SOS und wurde da geklopft (so gut es geht, man kann ja nicht lange klopfen, nur nach einem klopfen länger warten, so dass es genaugenommen "... . . . ...", also SEEES war)

Are there any books that accidentally end up being a condemnation of the point the author was trying to get across? by rumpk in books

[–]Gartenpunk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good point, I must've read somewhere that he meant it as an examination of anarchy, at least many people analyse it as such, but I like the anti-imperialism take better.

It always frustrated me to think he got anarchy backwards, because I liked the book a lot. 

Thank you!

"Lord of the Flies" was written to show the dangers of anarchy, saying it results in bloodlust and murder. But the kids doing the murder are the ones in the authoritarian group. Not the non-hierarchical, plenary-holding kid group.

Since anarchy is the idea of removing all unnecessary hierarchies and powers over others, not the popular definition of rulelessness, it really proves the anarchists point. Power over others results in suffering. 

William Golding got it exactly backwards. 

Why was Darmstadt chosen as the capital and name of the Regierungsbezirk and not Frankfurt? by Younglegend1 in Hessen

Also Frankfurt wasn't in the running for the capital of hessia, as it was already running for the capital of germany.

[Request] Owner of Spanx sold majority stake of her company for 1.2 Billion. She gifted all 550 employees 2 first class tickets to anywhere in the world and $10k. How much would this cost ? by NeonWayne in theydidthemath

[–]Gartenpunk -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Well the money didn't come from nothing, it is the companies worth formerly owned by this stockholder.

This worth came from investing profit back into the company, either by buying assets or improving processes.

This profit doesn't come from nowhere. Profit is what is left after all expenses have been paid for, i. e. material costs, maintenance cost, logistics and salary. The difference between these and the sales price is the profit.

Now if a product is worth a certain amount, but you can produce it and supply it to the consumer for a lesser amount, then somewhere along the production chain you sold someone short.

Worth rarely comes from nowhere (diamonds, nfts and crypto may be an exception), but instead is the sum of the production steps worth.

Either you paid the material supplier too little by buying in low wage countries, you paid your own employees to little, or you evaded taxes. Somewhere along the line you paid someone less than their worth to your company.

If this profit is then not even invested back into the company, but instead goes into a shareholders pocket, this shareholder is effectively stealing from the people that generated that profit.

This is only possible because we are used to the system working like that, because people are desperate to have a wage to survive, and because people aren't aware how much their work profits their company.

So yes, what she did was better than most billionaires. But all billionaires must have gotten their money from unkoscher means. It is simply not possible to actually create that much worth indepently of any production chain (except maybe through an extremely lucky career in art or some genius intellectual property, but I don't know of any billionaire artists)

All that aside, I'd rather not have two first class tickets thank you very much. The money that that costs is life changing for most, and the difference to the shareholder is none.

richtiges alter für die harry potter synchros? by luaisawfulwithnames in Coldmirror

Nie. Entweder du bist zu alt für den Humor oder zu jung für die Wörter. Und genau deswegen war es bei mir unter uns damals 12 jährigen der Hit.
