So, everything north of the Alps, basically? That doesn’t sound right to me. I tried a vitamin D pill once but it gave me a rash immediately, which is a sign of overdosing.

Wait until you find out about “Stray Cat Blues.”

Nuttin No Go So
The original “football moves” clip went viral a long time ago, and the song goes along well with it. Took me a while to understand just how awfully reactionary the lyrics are.

First trillionaire when?

I used to be active on one of my country’s most popular forums, if ranked by daily visits. Self-help Q&A style. Apart from me, there were pretty much only three users contributing about 90% of the content. One of them being the only mod. It took me years to figure out, from the timing and the writing style of the posts, that this mod also poses nearly all of the questions and gives all of the first answers too, using a new single-use sock puppet each time.
At the start of this year, it devolved into plain attention whoring and it was really sad, so I left.

That Absolute, see also here, is something nefarious, possibly used for industrial espionage. My company is a client and using one of its IP addresses, I could see documentation that was quite concerning. In the background, it checks all of your files for anything that looks like a password, a social security number or a credit card number, then uploads these files to some server to protect them… What’s really weird is that I cannot access the same information from an outside IP address, but here’s a review, corroborating parts of it. Make of it what you will!

I was gifted the cheapest and most disgusting sweets money can buy. They looked like they came from the black market. Threw almost all of them away the next day. No other gifts.
Then, I was taken to a restaurant which served some truly disgusting food. To be fair, it had recently changed ownership and used to be decent up to that point.
And that was it for the day. I probably wouldn’t have minded too much, if it hadn’t been a milestone birthday.

Middle manager.
At least in my current job. There are nice AND useful ones out there, but in my dept., there’s positively neither.

“Käpt’n, ich hab da wat am Schierm, wat ganz komiges…”

Der Zwang zum steigenden BSP macht Druck aufs Sozialgefüge, und ganz besonders in den letzten 50 Jahren:

• viel mehr Frauen müssen arbeiten
• Familien müssen schrumpfen (Kinder arbeiten nicht, benötigen aber Ressourcen)
• Immigration muss steigen (Verlagerung der teuren Ausbildung ins Ausland; Import von genüg- und folgsameren AN)

Die Antwort der AG auf die sozialen Verwerfungen ist, wie vorhersehbar, sie zu einem Problem der persönlichen Ethik zu machen. Reißt euch mal mehr am Riemen, dann können wir es morgen wieder mit China aufnehmen. Nee, der Zug ist abgefahren. Wenning paradiert seine geistige Eindimensionalität und sonst nichts mit seinen vorgestrigen Rezepten. Die richtigen Antworten wären, für den Anfang:

• verweise das überfressene mittlere Management in seine Schranken
• stampfe Bullshit-Jobs ein
• führe zum Ausgleich flächendeckend die 32-Stunden-Woche ein
• und wenn die Motivation dann immer noch steigerbar sein sollte, dann wandle deinen Betrieb in eine Coop um.
