Aren’t you staying dead for millenia until the second comming and the judgement day ? To my understanding the reason why Christian burry their dead rather than burning them is that they need to resurrect on jugement day

In theory, An expat is someone sent abroad on short/mid-term mission while working for an employer, while a migrant is someone moving abroad to find a job and sometimes to start a new life.

This means that, if let’s say if a Mining company in Ghana sends someone to New-York to be the “US sales director” that person would be an an expat While an American opening an hotel in Ghana would be an immigrant.

But indeed, in many cases : Expat = European/North-American, Immigrant = From somewhere else

Most of the rich cannot just move to a tax haven. Sure someone who inherited multi-generational wealth can hide it in the Caiman island.

But if you own a canned tomato factory, or even if you’re a business consultant, you get rich because of very local things, and can’t easily move-it away.

While I love the theoretical idea of direct democracy, the EU is supposed to address high level issue with generic directive.

So complex laws on complex topics. Do you know the details of directives like reach? (and typical lemmy audience has more chance to understand REACH over finance) Do you know the details about every chemical substance allowed/banned? Even good faith politicians end up believing lobbyists, imagine a regural person without a team of assistant

Direct democracy is great, but the EU is a too generic level for it to work

While I have no doubt that officer (and even most NCO) do know more than basic english, I have some doubts regarding the typical high-school drop out who enlists in the infantry.

So if you need to talk about geopolitic, aircraft maintenance or even coordinates two different group of soldier, NATO english would be fine. But how would a multi-lingual crew works on a warship ? What about a multi-lingual patrol ?

I actually forgot about that one, but indeed that’s an interesting case

Website, social media (including meetup or facebook), flyers,
In many jurisdiction, it’s not that complicated to create a small non profit club to collect money to rent a space which is often sufficient to attract people

Out of curiosity, can a judge temporarily strip someone from their election/vote right as part/alternative to a sentence ? It’s a relatively common sentence for French politicians found guilty of corruptions (Which save the cost of keeping them in prison and limit their ability to re-offend) but no idea whether it’s universal or unique

Europe needs to step up on Ukraine.

Realistically, I doubt the western european public opinions are ready to accept 20 year old kids coming home in a coffin. If we put boots on the ground, I expect the war to be more deadly than recent middle-east operations.

So while we could kick of Russia ass, I don’t think we’re ready to pay the political price, at least for Ukraine.

I wouldn’t wory too much about that coworker, if they can’t handle something as banal as fuck, it’s their problem, not yours

To be fair, if OP lives in the northern hemisphere, the season for Tomatoes is over, so it’s hard to get fresh tomatoes that doesn’t taste like water

Answer based on European standard where worker have some basic rights

• Not happy in the job : do the bare minimum while looking for something else guarantees that pay keeps coming, worst-case they fire-you giving you a severance pay (not necessarily big if you’re new in the company) and keeping your right to unemployment (which in general are lost when you quit).

• Toxic environment impacting mental health : Go to your doctor and take sick-leaves, and please do it before being in full burn out, then come back to previous point

• Very toxic environment, like harassment : Talk with a lawyer or an union representative you may have a case to sue the company, and even quit on the spot while keeping severance pay and unemployment rights, but you may-need a legal advise for it

Most people with Ph.D don’t use the Dr title out of a formal setting.

Between People thinking that you’re a physicianand asking about their health, and people thinking you’re pedantic. Better staying discrete.

How would a dishonest person add extra? Here in Australia you go in, get signed off on a book, and they give you a piece of paper for your voting preferences. You don’t get unlimited papers to vote multiple times.

My hypothesis is that the dishonest person is an official, so they can be the person giving the ballots/envelope, they were present when we opened the box with ballots/envelope to put them on the table, and have access to the box (The one storing the empty envelopes/ballots) where they’re stored to refill the table over the day. So getting ballots/envelope is quite easy, and all in less than 2 minutes you can put them in the box and sign near a sick/old person name. Looks like even easier if you close/open the voting office every morning/evening for a week, and store the box for the night. So I am curious about the safeguards.

It’s been over 40 years that Japan has been massively exporting anime to the west.
People under 50 yo grew up watching Dragon-ball, Sailor-Moon, Naruto or one piece rather than Superman/batman

It’s a normal part of the game. You need to accept the employer and employer needs to accept you.

It’s nicer to call them hey, I’m going to cancel as I am no longer interested but you could totally come to test the water and get interviews experience. Or even within 10 minutes raise a blocking point and leave.

Once I interviewed someone who was a great fit for the company, but not for that specific position, we kept it short, and I complained afterward to the HR who made both of us loose time. I hope that person is doing well

I have a similar opininipn. People have been forging!/editing photographs and movies for as long as the technique existed.

Now any stupid kid can do it, the hard part with AI is actually not getting porn. If it can teach everyone that fake photo are a thing, and make nudes worthless (what’s the point of a nude anyway ? Genitals looks like… Genitals)

Shit sandwich where you put a negative between two positive is a common bad communicatipn/management practice.

Another classic one is to not close the door to another application shall the hired candidate not meet expectations

You, don’t have any bargaining power regarding your health. Let’s say you broke a arm, a Mundane thing. You’re in pain, and would do anything to make it stop. Once they give you some morphine, you’re high and can’t take any reasonable decision.

Moreover, you can decide to thrash away a car, it happens all the time, you can’t do it with your life.

Swim, if necessary get a couple of classes. So you can enjoy the exercise aspect of it.

If there is a water slide on whatever, it’s not just for kids, so you can have some fun there too.

Just a thing, please don’t block the swimming lanes to play around, it’ll be annoying for you and the swimmers
