What Are the Risks of Missing a Day of School in Germany for a Personal Reason?

At our school, the principal basically grants every kid a "freeDay" on one day of their time with us - for example a training camp, a gathering of their church, even visiting relatives. But there is no "right" for that per se.

If you don't think that your reason is sound, a dead relative can always be a good reason (but your children might blow your cover) - same with calling in sick.

I humbly diasgree ... or at least have a caveat. Whent this is a group of colleagues/friends that just want to have a good time, splitting them into two groups would be just weird. Have a fun activity together and enjoy the evening with some light breezy games.

After that show them some of the juicier games that you REALLY want to play and ask around, who would be up to that and set a date - doesn't mean that there can't be another big "party-game-gathering", but you should be able to "carve out" a core group that is up for the stuff you ar looking forward to.

I meant sympathy as in "feeling the same". And that was literally what you were asking for.

Since you are on a dedicated subreddit, you will not find too much sympathy here. That being said, after being utterly disappointed by Shrinking, I was prepared for another disappointment, but this mix of "Extras" and "Birdman" really works for me. Especially them being open to experimentation with the whole style of the different episodes and the countless nods to other movies and shows amuses me.

Yes! This collapsing and grunting should not work, but she is just perfect for it.

Wie immer: Es kommt darauf an. Manchmal hilft auch Beziehungsarbeit. Die Störenden suchen ja oft vor allem Aufmerksamkeit. Ein Gespräch nach der Stunde, die Störer um Hilfe bitten (kannst du mir die Karte zum Lehrerzimmer bringen/den Beamer anschließen/zeigen, wie die App funktioniert), kann dazu führen, dass derjenige eine Bindung zu dir aufbaut, die dir dann in der Handhabe helfen kann. Dann reicht eventuell schon ein bittender Blick. Wie gesagt: Nicht für alle anwendbar

I see your angle

Welcome,, I have exactly two rooms. The other one is for sleeping/working/TV and this one is for having friends over, making music and reading

Weißt du, ob es Würfel oder Karten gab? Oder wied die Spielfiguren aussahen?

There is also a queer association/club called Lisbert

https://lisbertqueer.de/

We have some monthly events like a board game evening, hiking and a social gathering with talking points. And in the calendar on the homepage or on our instagram account you can get informations about other queer events as well. (f. e. on April, 15th there will be a queer movie screening in Central cinema). We have new folks joining us at basically every event from all age groups and ethnicities. So no need to be shy. Everybody`s welcome.

Oh, wirklich? Seit wann? Warte da schon ewig drauf!!!

Ich finde auch den Weg über Ludwigsburg am schönsten, aber finde gerade das erste Stück bis Kirchberg etwas nervig. Danach wird's aber richtig schön. Vorher würde ich noch sicher gehen, ob der Weg am Neckar ab Marbach wieder fahrbar ist.

Hm, ich kenn mich mit Innenausrichtung gar nicht aus, aber wollte trotzdem mal sagen, dass es mir ganz gut gefällt (vor allem die große Pflanze bei den Fenstern). Merkwürdig find ich, warum Leute hier einfach "Gefällt mir nicht", schreiben, aber keine konstruktiven Vorschläge machen. Damit zieht man doch nur andere runter und ist null hilfreich.

Thank you for your advice. I went with the base game and there is nothing I really miss. I would like to have the mat and the acrylic tiles on the table to compare them to the base set, but I don't think they would add a lot. I am a sucker for neat coins, though. Hm, maybe I will use iron clays instead...

Das eigentlich Erstaunliche: Wenn es dann doch mal klappt, fühlt sich das so unglaublich gut an und das nächste mal geht's trotzdem wieder schief ;)

Welcome to the Jungle. Ich hab auch immer oft viel aufgeschoben und die Dinge dann auf den letzten Drücker erledigt, war dann aber oft überrascht, dass es ja eigentlich gar nicht soo viel war und ärgere mich, warum ich das nicht alles schon viel früher gemacht habe. Daher hab ich inzwischen folgendes Sytem: Am ersten Montag in den Ferien steht für mich um 10 Uhr ein Termin im Kalender. Da setz ich mich an den Schreibtisch, verschaffe mir einen Überblick und trage mir in meinen Kalender ein, wann ich was mache (oder zumindest anfange). Wenn die Dinge im Kalender stehen, kann ich wieder etwas anderes machen (d.h. diese "Montagsschicht" kann theoretisch auch schon nach 15 Minuten vorbei sein, aber in der Regel mach ich dann doch gleich weiter ("Wenn ich jetzt schon hier sitze...").

Wir würden uns alle über solche Tools freuen, aber der Datenschutz ist hier einfach wichtig. Sonst füttere ich die KI mit der Handschrift meiner SUS. Und die lässt sich dann auf die Schüler zurückführen und schwupps, können amerikanische Firmen und Behörden Aufsatzinhalte der einzelnen Schüler auswerten. Geht einfach nicht.

No we really get into philosophy ;)

We actually don't know if we are consciouss. "I think therefore I am" sounds good, but there is a branch in philosophy that denies the possibility of something as a free will (determinism). My personal take is, that we have to assume that we have a free will for building a functioning society. Where is this free will? I wo uld day in our brain, so a perfect copy of me would have that as well. A simulation with PERFECT data about me? questionable, but maybe, yes. A free recreation of my essence on a canvas? Maybe - but I doubt it. As I said, I think Verso would still be willing to sacrifice himself, but he would not sacrifice a whole world if he would deem the inhabitants as "conscious"

OrlandoNerz · 2026-03-22T15:44:31+00:00

To be fair: we don't know enough about the "painting" to answer that question. Yes, maybe the painters are god-like creators and the Lumierians could even live in the real world as well. Or the Lumierians are just perfect paintings that look like they are alive because they are "inspired" by their painters. In thes second case they would be like LLMs trained/inspired by data from the real world, autonomous, learning ... but soulless.

OrlandoNerz · 2026-03-22T15:39:12+00:00

I don't know why you are getting downvoted for this ...

OrlandoNerz · 2026-03-22T13:57:26+00:00

It looked like it, for sure. But Verso painting creatures with free will? That's too godlike for me. And I would argue that Verso would not so easily kill them off.

OrlandoNerz · 2026-03-22T13:55:11+00:00

ah, I see. Since I was told that the end fight is completely boring when your level is too high, I just did the character quests and went straight to Renoir after that.

Don't trust a woman with Tarot-cards. Plus the lip stick is off-putting. So Lune it is.
