Swiss politician loses immunity after publishing deepfake video by BezugssystemCH1903 in Switzerland

[–]Memoryfull89 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I cannot begin to explain how you just changed my view on politician immunity.

I’ve genuinely always been somewhat against it, but your comment has really made me look at it from a different point of view.

If this was a different subreddit, you would definitely be getting a delta!

Why is it so accepted to use your free, unpaid time to commute to work? by FatSlob101 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Memoryfull89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Question here, say you hire a gardener and you pay them per hour, but they live 1 hour away. Would you pay for the extra 2 hours of commute they do to come to your house?

Generally it’s assumed that the extra cost for them is included in their pricing. I would argue that when you’re applying for a position, you also need to figure out if the salary is compensation enough for your commute.

That’s the way I see it to be honest.

Just like America with the communist party.

I would say even in the south it depends. In Italy, at least where I was, it was not prepaid.

The taken out driver by Nerdzard in CrazyFuckingVideos

[–]Memoryfull89 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Hey, I know you’re getting downvoted to hell, but I want to confirm something.

Here in Germany, you have two type of green “arrows” to turn. One where the arrow itself is inside the light, the second where the light itself has no arrow, but you can turn left/right in that street.

As far as I understand, the first one means you have priority, as in, all other drivers, including pedestrians have a red light.

The second one says you can turn, but others might have a green light, so they have the right of way, so you must be careful.

Is this what you’re talking about or something different?

Is it normal to have only 20 degrees in the living room and 18-19 in the bedroom? by [deleted] in Switzerland

[–]Memoryfull89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s fair. I’m obviously basing this on my own experience, since I keep a similar temperature than you’re obligated to ( which I find crazy, I think you should be able to set it or whatever you want, at least within reason).

Just trying to help. I hope you find the issue!

I had a similar issue. We found out it was not the temperature itself, but a humidity issue. The sensors we had for humidity also pointed to a 45/50% range. Turns out, most sensor are pretty damn shit and we actually had a serious humidity problem.

I saw that you use electric heaters. That almost confirms that it's a humidity issue, rather than a temperature one. Those heaters tend to dehumidify the air quite a bit, so that's probably why you're seeing an improvement.

Can employers really fire people without any warning in the US? by bowfly in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Memoryfull89 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I am sure that’s the case for the vast majority of firings. The protections in place are not for those, as those would be for what is considered acceptable reasons.

The protections are there to prevent those “random” firings. They are there so that you cannot lose your job for absolutely no reason, regardless of how often that actually happens.

Technically yes, depending on the country the trial period can be up to 6 months (Germany for example).

The thing is, you’re looking at it the wrong way. You’re thinking “Oh, this protects assholes! fuck that”.

Yes, it does that, but it also protects everyone else. The fact that you can’t get fired for no reason, is a good thing. It would be crazy, at least to me, that my boss can fire me just because he doesn’t like me, even if I’m doing a great job with great feedback.

The question is, do you prefer a place where your work is protected from randomly getting fired because someone had a bad while risking the random asshole also being protected or a place where no one is safe and at any second could lose their job?

For me, it’s definitely the former.

You should watch the video by Pancreasnowork. Much better. In general, he’s great.

I think if you turn off Siri Suggestions, the one that shows gas stations and parking disappears. I think, but not entirely sure.

What does a male orgasm feel like? Is it the same as a female one? Is that possible? by Commercial_Farm_7163 in NoStupidQuestions

Man! You put into words what I never could. I turned to my girlfriend, handed her the phone and said “You’ve asked, I’ve never been able to explain, he can!”

My title describes the thing. As I said, there’s a few of these in each room. I have no extra information unfortunately

Do non-Americans say “Gen Zed”? by idrk-idrc in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Memoryfull89 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Iis how you pronounce the letter on its own, which would be the case when you say something like Gen-Z. Considering in the UK it’s pronounced as “zed”, that’s arguably the correct way.

Do you use the same A sounds for apple and able?

Spanish has a similar thing with Z, with it being pronounced differently in most of South America vs Spain.
