Patriotism is the little sibling of nationalism, and the boundaries are fluid. I will never understand why people are proud of other people’s accomplishments and make them their own. Or is it because people were shat on somewhere else in the world than everyone else? Makes absolutely no sense.
Not sure, but I think that wasn’t because of higher temperatures but higher levels of oxygen in the atmosphere.
Funny, I heard the exact same explanation for Dark Matter. But the context was ‘so we know, there’s something there, we cannot explain, which is why we need to study more or even rethink what we thought to know about gravity/the universe’. Science is awesome!
That’s, what religion is about. Religion teaches people to be content with not understanding the world.
Manchen Leuten kann man eben doch ansehen, was für Arschlöcher sie sind.
I don’t get it, either. It’s like being threatened to get shot and releasing the threat and shooting yourself.
Whatever the fuck they want. Not being exploited all the time, for example.
Damn you, I read that in his stupid voice!

This is a tragedy.
I’ve been ripped off enough by companies to only do exactly what I’m paid to do. That doesn’t mean that I’m not willing to help colleagues who have questions while I’m just about to disappear into the evening. It also doesn’t mean that I can’t talk to my colleagues about work-related issues, such as annoyances or anything else. As I said, I’m polite, friendly and helpful as long as it’s work-related. And I don’t do it because I hope to gain some kind of advantage from it, but because I want to be treated that way myself. The fact that nobody is forcing me to work at a specific job is true, but it misses the general point of the thread (and indeed of what I said). The fact is that people are people and therefore pretty much the same or at least similar everywhere - that’s the case in my line of work. And I have experienced countless times that colleagues are only too happy to share all the details of the past weekend with you, from family outings to binge drinking to adultery, but they don’t give a shit whether you had a good weekend yourself and dont even ask back. Most of them are not able to communicate at eye level at the absolute minimum and just constantly present themselves and expect some kind of recognition or admiration in return. And I’m supposed to share private things with people like that? For what? So that they can work with me more professionally? Or maybe just to make them feel better about themselves? I don’t care about that crap, let’s stick to what we came to work for. That’s called professionalism. Apart from that, it’s a mystery to me why you only consider colleagues to be halfway decent if they want to share private things with you. Maybe you should reconsider your expectations.
Da man ihre menschenverachtenden und die Realität leugnenden Positionen vorher schon kannte, musste man auch nichts verstehen können. Nazis und ihre Bücklinge zurück in ihre dunklen Löcher!
Only those who have nothing else in their lives but work find this unfriendly. Work is not an event that I attend voluntarily, but to earn a living. I am polite, nice and helpful to my colleagues in everything that revolves around work. Anything beyond that is not a matter of course and should not be taken for granted.

They make millions. Fuck them.
Yeah, I won’t help companies to save money they should give to their staff.
My ADHD brain does this. It runs wild, the moment I’m awake.
I have. And yet I never had the feeling that my club’s achievements were mine, unless I had contributed to them. And even then, I was just proud to have been part of the team with which I achieved the performance. I can differentiate very well.
