It's the famous "As long as your not Google, Amazon or Apple" licence.

The key story for Christians is that a man was unjustly executed by religious authorities and the state even though he was without sin. This unjust sacrifice atones for all of humanities sin. So kinda hard to justify execution from a Christian perspective if you actually believe that stuff.

Colourful mohawk bird on the right is way cooler

Plot twist: OPs father actually works at the United States Mint (but in an office job)

Worked shortly as a bike delivery guy for a small independent German bookstore. They did deliveries in the small town and you could order books by phone or email. The atmosphere in the shop was chill. The owner was an old really well-read hippie, who was really friendly.The pay was rather shit but I'd say it was overall a good job.

Under the GDPR, employers in the EU can only monitor employees' work emails if it is necessary, proportionate, and serves a legitimate purpose, such as ensuring compliance or security. Employees must be informed about the monitoring in advance, and clear policies should be in place to respect transparency and consent requirements. Any monitoring must also balance the employer's business interests with the employees' right to privacy, ensuring minimal intrusion. Some countries like Germany have really strict interpretations of how to apply the GDPR here.

35-year old Heidegger slid into the DMs of 18-year old Ahrendt as her professor. This was way before you were cancelled for 'sleeping with students' or for 'being a fascist' was a thing.

I usually eat a simple Porridge, but if I want to make something fancy on a weekend I make pancakes for my family.

Yeah but people are highly aware of it and there is even a disclaimer in Email Signatures that everything is tracked. If you are dealing with government ministries in European countries some of the (unofficial) information exchange is done without written record, either at in-person conferences or even through non-work phones.

Highly illegal in the EU. Also highly stupid everywhere else. The big question is "How secure is your user espionage system and can an outsider get acces?". The data from something like this is a social engineering goldmine.

So this school was built on an ancient Pleistocene burial ground. I know that trope well enough to know what happened next

The one recommended by the health insurance companies kills you early and fast after your pay-in period without causing large healthcare costs.

Haha, but my only intrusive thought is that the wizard cat is a cute chonker

It's Twilight Zone, but only the twists

This contest is over. Give this man his 10,000. Dollars.

You're taking a vacation from normalcy. The setting, a weird motel where the bed is stained with mystery, and there's also some mystery floating in the pool. Your key card may not open the exercise room because someone smeared mystery on the lock, but it will open... The Scary Door.

Smoking was discovered independently in many cultures with different substances used by different cultures. In the Americas, it was tobacco, while the Scythians of Central Asia used cannabis in ritualistic hotboxes, as evidenced by archaeological finds of smoking tools in kurgans. Other regions, like India and Southeast Asia, saw the smoking of opium and herbs.

In this scenario Lenin does not manage to take over Russia and the warning to the world by the real life examples of Germany and Italy about the dangers of fashism does not happen either. Authoritarianism raises its ugly head later in a world with better weapons and more destructive potential for humanity.

We knew well enough that a pandemic was a realistic risk and had SARS-1 and MERS as warning shots but we're still not very well prepared at the outset of COVID.
