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

Seize the illegally obtained wealth, pay civil damages to the victims and rehabilitation program including education and psychological support.

I'm fine saying that people like Dutroux, Breivick or Abdeslam shall not be out before a very long-time. However, they're not the average criminal.

Let me return you the question, there is that single-mother who struggle to pay the rent, and debt collector knocked her door a few times, a drug dealer ask her if she can keep a package for them and that someone will pick-it up tomorow night and give her 500 € in exchange, does that woman (Which is now part of drug dealer network) desserve jail-time ? Wouldn't giving her the mean to pay the rent prevent her from needing to take part of drug traffic ? That drunk person has a fight in the train station, the other fighter falls on the track as the train arrive, now a person died. Does the person desserve to spend 5-10 years in jail ? Wouldn't Rehab work better ?

I'll go even further and say that welfare program, teacher, psychiatrist and some other do way more at preventing crime than police, jail and hard on crime policies

Depending what you look for.

For horror role-playing, I sometimes put various dark ambient playlists from youtube/spotify with artists like Atrium Carceri or Cryo chamber not sure whether they really have an audience out of the rpg community

Doom metal, may also be a good choice Blood Ceremony has some pretty dark tones (even though their latest Album is more modern blues than doom metal) or Uncle acid. Iff you're into the slow music you can go for band like Monarch!

Bike trip on the Panericana from Punta Arenas to whatever is the northern most city in Alaska. Or if I have less time but cash to burn, do it in an ultra-light (A bit like Blyth Cape-town Cape North expedition in the 90's http://www.trike-expeditions.com/CapeToCape/capetocape.html )

I plan on doing exactly that for the following 6 months (quit my job, taking a break to address burnout and reorient): nothing.

I wouldn't call adressing a burnout a Sabbatical but a sick leave, a Sabbatical is choosing to take time off work for a project, not needing to take time off work for your mental health

Sorry that you're there (And use the health issue as an explanation for the hole in your CV if they ask)

Weirdest I've seen was that voter who comes to his voting office, not to vote but to insult The president, The mayor, the volunteer and staff present, and even some of the voters we spent like 5 minutes trying to de-escalate and negotiate Please either leave or vote, but stop insulting everyone and it's finally when the voting office chairwoman took her phone to call the cops that this guy went away. (Thanks for the extra paperwork, because event though the cops didn't have to physically remove a person out of the voting station, we know had to describe the incident in the report, at least it was a consensual decision for every official present)

On more banal stuff I've seen that tall/large gentleman on crutches who put the voting booth down when trying to enter inside.

And for the fun, bing version, a bit more romantic

May-be not fully in the theme but Guess what I was listening to wake-up and I kept exploring a bit more that song for this week challenge. Still has that Faeric tales, and it's based on a song rather than on tale

Flux Dev (From getimg)

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

Could anyone get an registration link ? it's one week and still waiting for it

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

I also love-it so much, Suddently, there is day light late, you see people outside, no matter whether it's about kids playing outside after school, or adult having an evening walk, but suddently looks like life is back

It's not just the season, but the idea of having to change all the clocks and do our life on hour earlier/later/whatever, so now when we leave work it's night, and when we make-up it's dark, but there is enough light to commute to work.

The Whole daylight saving time is stupid, especially when switching to winter time

What's on the image? Can you accept to talk about it with your boss?

There is a big difference between a photo of Dr OP giving an invited seminar about some advanced topic, and OP wearing a German WW2 outfit "for Carnaval"

Miss some spikes, would be more efficient at rolling over kids and cyclists

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.

I’d recommend you persevere with getting a lemmy.world one and use that as your main one.

I would advise against lemmy world and .ml, .world is already way too big, the day they fail, all lemmy will collapse. Place like lemm.ee or sopuli or Blahaj, or Fedia if you prefer mbin are way nicer.

That said, .ml works good enough to discover lemmy, don't panic too much

You should cross post to !forumlibre@jlai.lu I believe some francophones would enjoy that one

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.

Band camp sends you updates about artists/producer you bought from. Feel like it's borderline scam, but may be a way
