The difference in remuneration in this case is only some holidays and health insurance. Not much in monetary value. That’s not the problem.

A collective agreement also gives employees more rights which can be difficult to convert to a fixed price. Rights to negotiate. Rights to know the schedule in advance. Rights to take time off for education. Rights to take days off when you have sick children. Things like paid sick days, maternity and parental leave are also not fully covered by the law alone but requires a collective agreement to function properly.

The only issue preventing the union from reaching an agreement with Tesla is that the CEO of Tesla does not want to sign a collective agreement. I don’t think he even understands what it is.

The workers don’t want money. They want a collective agreement.

I’m obviously talking about work and not my porn stash.

• "whose role will be to ensure that the “political, regulatory and fiscal frameworks” in the Nordics “support Tesla’s mission.”

LOL. Lets hire 1 person to change the politics in 4 countries to support a foreign private company…

(Also… … The primary point in all the nordic models is that politics shouldn’t interfere in the labour market.)

It’s ridiculously amusing to see the world’s richest man attempting to throw money at a problem that can’t be solved with money. I like it a lot.

All of it, if the PDF contains personal information. Anything that can identify a person is personal information and can only be kept if the person has constented to you keeping it.

It does not matter in which format or where. That includes files in your download or trash can folders.

PDFs are particularly annoying like that. On one hand most browsers offer to open them in the browser, but on the other hand it’s a “file” rather than a document. Imagine if your browser decided to download all the HTML webpages that you visit to your download folder, instead of the temporary cache. That’s how PDFs are handled.

To make it more complicated, sometimes you’ll want that and other times you don’t.

It’s also really annoying in terms of GDPR compliance, because some users gather a lot of PDFs in their download folder without even realising it. I empty my download folder daily, just like the trashcan, just to be sure that I’m not keeping things that I’m not supposed to keep. This is only/mainly due to the browsers handling of the PDF format.

Some people even think they’re the ones in a disadvantaged position, even if they’re not, but they’ll always feel entitled to getting something when others get something.

I don’t quite understand this selfish entitlement, but I see it happen in many situations. It also applies to human rights for people on the other side of the globe, because from their perspective there is only one world, theirs.

I only played the first game more than 20 years ago, but I can still hear the voice.

Honestly, they don’t do those well either. I’d prefer Red Bull to keep arranging those Xtreme events that doesn’t have a leg to stand on otherwise, like Crashed Ice, or Slopestyle rollercoaster skateboarding.

I’ve never tried the game, but I saw a family play Farming Simulator together on a long flight.

The parallel to real battles is amusing from a symbolic perspective. The survivors are the useless pieces of shit who can’t even attack.

The king is not weak. In 100% of games it’s the last piece to fall.

Statistically the pawn to the rightmost of the white king also survives in some 70%, while the queen only has about 49% chance of survival to the end.

The knights and the pawn in front of the queen are the first to go.

Oh for sure, the russian shenanigans are real.

It’s the xenophobia and reactions based on that which are totally useless. Illegal immigrants eventually show up somewhere inside a country whether or not there’s a wall and whether or not the politicians attempt to make a hard line. Police will encounter them eventually and they can take them to the immigration offices for clarification of their status.

Patroling is necessary and domestic police needs to be on top of their job to handle it. It’s a job for policemen and border patrols. It’s not a job for politicians and it’s not necessary for ordinary citizens to be afraid of immigrants. However, certain politicians enjoy getting more votes from scared people, even if their hard line solutions don’t work and their fear mongering only makes the situation worse.

I’m absolutely certain that the Finnish border control can handle this better without an expensive physical wall and without having a population living in artificial fear.

That is the news. That it is only two. The right wing party in Finland is hell bent on building a wall to stop the hoardes of illegal immigrants that are supposedly being bussed in by Putin.

Now, there are all kinds of good reasons to watch this border closely after Finland joined NATO and Putin has promised to make trouble there, but illegal immigrants?? Those are a fictional threat.

However, the same threat is being pushed by right wing parties in every European country. The threat originates from somewhere. Apparently, someone somewhere wants to push fake news about illegal immigration. It is fuel for fascism. It divides the population and creates patriotism that will hinder international collaboration.

Who could be interested in that? That person is the real enemy.

European countries shouldn’t spend resources on stopping illegal immigrants. European politicians shouldn’t spend time arguing over illegal immigration. We should be using our resources and time to figure out why so many people are needlessly afraid of immigrants.

This is really just American domestic political fear mongering.

The figures are negligible and mostly consist of Canadian lumberjacks. It’s not a national security issue.

Wikipedia has an entire list of civilian radiation accidents.

The one that scares me the most happened in Ukraine where a radioactive capsule was accidentally built into an apartment building. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kramatorsk_radiological_accident

I’m not exactly sure where, how or why people would join Threads, but if it’s going to be part of the fediverse I wouldn’t be all against it.

I probably wouldn’t join it, but I think it would be better for the Meta-users to be exposed to the internet outside of the environment controlled by Meta.

There’s a reason why everyone is angry on Facebook. Hint: It isn’t that everyone is angry. It’s because “engagement” is encouraged.

If they were exposed to a place where people could choose more freely to engage with anger, they’d be surprised with how little people actually respond to shit/rant postings. It’s perfectly fine to rant and shitpost, but the fediverse definitely shows that there is more to the internet than that. I won’t mind giving it a shot at showing them. (As long as I can block the entire thing at any time I want.)

No. Da red wuns go fasta.

Spoken and written don’t need to use the same format. Time also isn’t spoken using the written format hhmmss.

That’s just one theory.

Another theory is that it isn’t about the buttons or the ease, but actually the direction of the topmost fabric.

Men having a sword on the left side could draw the sword with the right hand without getting caught in the shirt.

Women breastfeeding with the baby on the left arm could more easily cover up when the shirt opening over the baby. Women riding a horse in sidesaddle style would also avoid the wind blowing their shirt open when buttoned that way.
