  • The thing is, either workers are powerless to change things, or just don’t care enough to be bothered by that threat.

    Which is why I usually just smile and lodge formal complaints with the company as well as any regulatory body if the situation calls for it. Much more effective when it’s an actual punishment rather than an empty threat. I’ve gotten companies actual fines that way.


  • Back when I was in grade school in the mid 1990’s, we were one of the first families to have a computer. We weren’t allowed to ANY schoolwork on it. If you had to write a paper, it had to be written by hand. Which, as someone who could type much faster and used bigger words, was REALLY fucking annoying.

    But yeah, I imagine we need to go back to dumb, disconnected computers in exam halls to keep things above board. It’s depressing to see how lazy this tech makes students.







  • I love French cheese. You can buy a lot of them here in Dutch supermarkets. Personally, I really like a nice soft brie. That’s considered a ‘snack cheese’, usually enjoyed on a small cracker. Also really nice in a baguette with some tomatoes, cucumber, sliced cheese….

    Guess I’ll add some to our shopping list this week; might as well stimulate that EU economy in these trying times. Cheese certainly does make me smile :D


  • Lactose intolerance is very rare here in the Netherlands, as you can imagine. I always feel bad for people who have it, since milk and cheese are pretty fundamental to the Dutch diet.

    I’m with you on giving up meat vs. cheese. I’ve gone days without meat, and could probably go vegetarian if I needed to. But vegan? Absolutely not. Cheese pizza is life. I’d sooner kill myself than give up cheese. It’s not happening.

    That’s basically everyone with a decent routine, no? I go to bed the same time, so I wake up the same time. The alarm is just for backup.

    If anyone has trouble sleeping/waking with a set routine, there’s probably other factors at play like interrupted sleep cycles or sleep apnea.
