Most employers wouldn't use a investigator. The normal thing would be to get an assesment from the Medizinische Dienst. But only if they can justify their suspicions, not as a general thing for all sick employees.

I think they framed it as "get well" visits. I think "control visits" without plausible suspicion of fraud would be illegal. There are procedures to do this in Germany.

The thing is also, the models work reasonably well on the global scale, but the local scale is something different. Whoever did work in climate change impacts knows that we still work mostly in darkness and just try to prepare for the worst.

The climate is no simple thing. Who knows, maybe some weird shit with the ocean will happen and increase the rainfalls over northern africa by 500% and the Sahara becomes a jungle. Probably unlikely, but we don't really know.

We have people here working maximum 1 hour per day, in the home office they can at least not stop others from working.

I personally don't really care that much, but I guess this is mostly about "living stuff out openly" vs. "keeping your fetish in non-public spaces".

Yes, there are public mermaid events, but I don't think those are perceived as less weird.

The Epic of Gilgamesh is really cool, I wish there were more modern reinterpretations of it, though.

Getting a restraining order against someone, because they said“stay the fuck out of my life” is so dumb. Sorry, I had to laugh. Hope you sorted that out and can live your life safely.

I use posteo.de which costs 1€/month. It is simple, but works fine.

If it doesn't provide a benefit for them, why should they bother? I understand why a teenager would, I would have as a teenager. But as an adult? Who got time for this?

It is good enough for gaming with a standard distro as well. But you misunderstand, I WANT a Steam deck, I KNOW that I don't need one.

Man, I just bought a new gaming notebook, but I really want to get one. And I have almlst no time for gaming nowadays. Why are you tempting me, Gabe???
