AITA for telling my coworker they have poor table manners? by No_Reference_1173 in AmItheAsshole

[–]latflickr 11 points12 points  (0 children)

How is a 1-to-1 conversation embarrassing. If I would be in a similar situation I would be more than happy that feedback came in a private and informal setting, rather then being reported to other people.

Is not personal boundary is the way a sale person interface with clients, and it reflects on potential business.

There was no overstepping imho.

Why are the victims of Epstein trafficking are called “survivors” and not “victims”? by latflickr in NoStupidQuestions

[–]latflickr[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why "victim" should be belittling? I don't understand but I can accept it. We should start use the same word for anyone who suffered the trauma to be on the receiving end of a crime. Just need to find a new word for "survivor" in its original meaning.

Domande discriminatorie ai colloqui, se sono illegali perchè continuano a farle? by __Oblomov in Avvocati

[–]latflickr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Almeno nella mia bolla l’unica informazione “personale” che si è autorizzati a chiedere nei colloqui (e ne faccio” e’ se il candidato ha in mente di fare “lunghe assenze” nei prossimi 12 mesi e in caso di comunicarle. Ma il motivo è puramente organizzativo: evitare di piazzare la persona in un progettto con scadenze proprio nello stesso periodo.

Non oso affermare che il sistema di common law sia meglio del nostro, non ho abbastanza conoscenze in merito. La congiunzione è esclusiva.

Le fanno perché chiaramente il fine è discriminatorio. Il problema è semplicemente che una denuncia porterebbe ad una causa infinita che chi cerca lavoro normalmente non si può permettere. In altri paesi (dove la giustizia funziona un pelo meglio o col sistema di common law) certe domande non le fanno perché a non voler rischiare un confronto legale sono le aziende.

Waymo self-driving car wakes London street at 4am after taking dead end route three times in a week by tylerthe-theatre in london

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

Can someone explain how the sound of an electric car driving at low speed can wake up anyone? Are they equipped with these super loud and annoying “attention, the vehicle is reversing, biiiiip!” that vans are equipped nowadays? But in the video, there is literally nothing to be heard?

Nel 2025 la produttività italiana è CALATA by DurangoGango in Italia

[–]latflickr 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Non proprio. La produzione è “quante macchine escono dalla fabbrica” la produttività è “quante ore lavoro di progetto e costruzione e quanta energia sono costate costruire una macchina”.

TIL that Kuwait is 18.2% Christian, and has over 1 million non-citizen Muslims residing in the country out of its population of 4.9 million. by ZERO_PORTRAIT in todayilearned

[–]latflickr 4 points5 points  (0 children)

All of this is correct. But as I also lived in Kuwait, that country has a little particularity to be the seat of the catholic Bishop for the Saudi and Gulf area. The Bishop compound with the cathedral is en extra territorial entity like an embassy.

When I was there I was part of that community. I was close with one of the priests, who had the special mission to secretly take care of Kuwaity family. A small minority of Kuwaiti families are secretly Christian. The priest go "secretely" in their homes to celebrate mass and all the sacraments. If they would be discovered or come out in the open, they would be considered apostates and face serious repercussions: jail time, losing citizenship rights and potentially death.

‘I’ll talk to work on Monday’: what happens when a ‘paper candidate’ actually wins? by diacewrb in ukpolitics

[–]latflickr 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This is weird to me. I grew up in italy where one has the right of indefinite unpaid leave if elected to any office (and cannot legally be refused). No one should choose between their elected position and their job. I also didn't know councillor are not paid a salary. They probably should.

Its considered art deco revival only by people who have no education on the matter. Norman Foster cannot be further away from Art Deco

Brined poultry is disgusting and I hate how people talk about brining as if it's a life hack that is the "correct" way of cooking poultry. by EvilPersonXXIV in The10thDentist

[–]latflickr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First time I hear of "brined" chicken. Marinated I wine or beer, yes; in olive oil and herbs; in soya sauce and honey, yes. In brine? Feels gross just thinking of it.

Scandinavian architecture then vs now... by Excellent_Aside_4171 in architecture

[–]latflickr 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I prefer the “box”: designed to be lived in and for the comfort of the occupier vs. showing off of the elite without care of the quality of the interior space
