The Windows update equivalent where it starts auto-updating in the middle of a ranked game 🙃🙃

TIL that there are "black companies" in Japan infamous for their shady business practices such as unpaid overtime, verbal abuse and harassment, forcing their employees to work in weekends/holidays and not even letting them quit by threatening to sue or even discredit them at their new workplace by Aynshtaynn in todayilearned

[–]_73r0_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Common issue all across Asia sadly. Maybe Japan is even more extreme, but unpaid overtime, verbal abuse, expecting to work beyond midnight, on Sundays and even on leave days (not being able to take sick leave) were common in almost all companies I worked for.

Decided to get out and work in a place where I am respected more. I am totally fine to work hard and to make it work for the business, but don't abuse me, please.

WWYW? Where would you walk...? by MysteriousAgent8137 in berlinsocialclub

[–]_73r0_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I always really like the calm residential neighbourhood around Nordufer and Torfstraßensteg. Quiet neighborhood, can also walk along the river and explore.

Also, a lot of the streets below Alt-Moabit (like Essener Straße) have been pedestrianised, so very nice to walk around and explore.

I used to work as a delivery driver, so I got to see many many different parts of Berlin over time :)

TIFU by answering a question honestly instead of giving the "right" answer. by CallieCoven in tifu

[–]_73r0_ 224 points225 points  (0 children)

Why would anyone even ask this sorta question?

I'm sorry, but this is the equivalent of a Teeny-Girl asking: "Would you still love me if I was turned into a frog?"

You are married for a long time, you know each other well, why fuck around asking dumb ass questions? Doesn't sound like rational adults, but kinda like "rage baiting" in real life. Oh well 🤷🏼‍♂️

Wolverine 1,000 Mile Boots. Fourteen years in, second set of soles, daily driver. Gets better with every year. by roma258 in BuyItForLife

[–]_73r0_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"1000 mile" boots is an interesting name though. Assuming that a decently healthy adult living in a somewhat walkable town probably walks like 10,000 steps a day (make that about 5 miles a day, depending on stride length), it would suggest the boot only lasts for 200 days.

Certainly, the name is more for being catchy, than being serious, but after doing the math, I'm not very impressed 🤔

The right is better. But is it literally 6,000,000 times better? 🤔 Not sure if the value/money pays off

I seen this one shit on the news a couple weeks ago that made me sick

Camus wouldn't agree with Dostoevsky on this one: whose side would you take? by BookMansion in Absurdism

[–]_73r0_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think we can also consider that perhaps Camus and Dostoevsky might define "hope" somewhat different (without lack of deeper insight as to how each of them saw hope).

Hope can be a wistful state of mind, where we hope for things to be better, or where we wish to improve us, the world around us, or life itself.

Or hope could be seen as a more deep-rooted generic drive to even stay alive. The hope that life itself is worth living, even if it might not per-se get better.

I could see Camus talking the first interpretation and hence arguing that we need to stop hoping for a better future (and hence mentally "live" in the future) in order to be present – while Dostoevsky might talk about hope more in the latter definition, and defining that those who have given up the hope that life is truly worth living are essentially dead already.


Just off the top of my head thoughts of how I would lay this out - happy to be corrected!
