This has to be the most toxic employer in Germany. I had some shit jobs, especially when I was younger, but this is insane.

Hier ruhen meine Gebeine,

ich wünscht es wären Deine.

Here lie my bones,

I wish yours would lie here instead.

Unfettered platforms such as Lemmy?

All feeds on all platforms are skewed right if not even extreme right since years.

You have to block (far) right channels on YouTube to not get their crap videos suggested again and again.

Add to that the brain frying effect of short clip after short clip on IG, YT and TikTok you get those right wing zombies.

We should really ban all of these platforms in the EU - including Xitter, FB. Allow only fully open space products hosted in Europe.

Was about to post the same and I also downvote unnecessary NY Post links.

Never seen FB disallow fake news or hate speech as long as it is coming from the (extreme) right.

Either they just stop pretending now or irl somehow get even worse?

I wouldn’t put it past Samsung to try and force you to have internet access enabled so they can spy on you.

However having additional hardware to directly access the internet via cellular is a bit much. That might have been an Aprils fools article by some IT site.

When Sony tried to install root kits on PCs of folks just trying to watch a movie on a legit purchased DVD there was a quite large shitstorm.

Some require you to be online.

I’d take it back to the store as broken. Never heard of that though.

Some took it a step further and are equipped with 4/5G modems to bypass your network restrictions.

Never heard of this either and it would raise a massive stink in the EU. Can you share an example?

Or you could just block the Spyware TV from accessing the internet.

That’s a different topic though! Don’t conflate collecting funds with usage/distribution of funds. We all need to accept that we have to pay (high) taxes. That the upper 10% haven’t paid their fair share in decades and that there is misuse has nothing to do with my tax rate. We need the upper 10% to pay way way more and we need better accountability for usage of the money. Pretty much regardless of where you live on this planet by the way.

I disagree with tax & rent being lumped together. I have no problem with my (high) tax rate as it supports education, infrastructure, etc. The outrageously inflated rent goes to the same guy that stole 95% of your pizza in the first place.

Bulgaria, where toasters go to die. 🙂

Sure, but some are more likely than others. I was hoping for a game of guessing and upvoting.

Let’s have a guess what country that guy lives in. 😉 The post with the most upvotes wins.

Isn’t that a classic too? As in your mouth runs off and your brain trails behind. Later you ask yourself wtf you just said. I hate when that happens, especially during job interviews.

FiskFisk33 already answered it. It’s about speaking vs. writing/ using language.

On a serious note (and thereby killing the joke completely): doesn’t everyone know the situation where you can’t get the word out that may be very well in your head?

Perfect answer. 🙂

Well, it says “i’m speechless” not “i’m lost for words”. 😀
