A little bit of 5, a little bit of 8.

A shrubbery?

We planted redflower currant and the bees and bumblebees love the shit out of that. Also much prettier than dandelions. Redflower currant is the plant you want to fuck, dandelion is the one you have a chance with.

Damn, this is grim.

I created an account that was immediately shadowbanned. Before I posted or commented anything. I used a temporary mail address and I guess that was it. I used to create a new account every couple of months and that was fine for a long time, I think I still remember around 30 of them. But at some point it became a hassle.

That’s a lot of work when you can just stay home.

The first hard drive I got had 20MB and it was glorious.

They just took a photo.

Uh-oh.

The meaning has shifted to that a looong time ago. Are there seriously people who didn’t notice that or is it just a matter of not being able/willing to accept that language is never absolute and changing over time?

Sorry.

The part about not losing your job is true. The six weeks are mandated by law, it’s how long your employer has to pay your full salary. After that your health insurance will pick up the bill, paying “Krankengeld”. This is limited to 78 weeks within a three year span. Krankengeld is limited to 70% of your income before taxes.

It’s a bit misleading to count the public holidays which are always on a Sunday. The normal maximum you can get with days that can fall on a weekday is 14 in the city of Augsburg.

And the number of sick days is not unlimited. The cause for the illness/injury must not be your fault. And then it’s limited to six continuous weeks for the same cause. It’s a bit more complex, but the gist is that it’s not unlimited.

I read posts like this and I wonder if there are labels for my dysfunctions. I suspect I have ADD and am somewhere on the spectrum. But I’ve lived with it for so long, that I am very high functioning these days. A lot of the symptoms just got better over time.

I love how many player choices they foresaw and handled through custom animations and dialogue. That makes it so much more immersive.

Aren’t memes just taking images without paying royalties anyway? I agree with you in principle, but dumb memes aren’t the thing that’ll bring down artists.
