  • It's relatively reasonable to expect a person to lie, it's a bit less reasonable to expect two people to lie, it's even less reasonable to expect someone to lie in a professional context where their livelihood depends on them not being discovered to be lying.

    It makes a certain sense when you look at it that way from an employer's perspective.

    Of course, like you probably understand, it doesn't make any sense after all, because in the end if you go to a doctor and lie about being sick (symptoms), the doctor is neither lying nor professionally liable and the whole thing is just an additional hurdle to go through.

    But that hurdle is also part of the point to reduce the convenience of lying. And I'm absolutely sure that this additional hurdle has prevented someone somewhere from calling in sick while they aren't.

    Again of course, that likely hasn't resulted in more work being done, because obviously the employee had a reason to lie about being sick. But whatever, I'll stop now.

  • Why would you ask questions when it's the same day? Like, don't all sicknesses start being noticed one specific day and thus you take sick leave starting that day? That's literally the only way it makes sense at all

    Seems like you're an asshole boss to me

  • Maybe you should explain your intention instead of making cryptic belittling remarks.

  • No one insulted you. They commented on the fact that you don't understand reality for most people. "Oh honey" means "oh you are so innocent :/ that's really sweet, I don't want to make you feel bad by explaining reality to you". They were kinda being nice to you in their way.

    I'm more nice because I think people should know reality:

    Most jobs are so easily replaceable and have so little protections that if you start citing laws and taking sick leave like it's rightfully yours, you'll be fired a bit later for "unrelated" reasons.

    Thus while you are right that you would be able to get your sick leave by communicating the law, you will not really get them because you'll be out of work in a few weeks. If you want to keep your job, you don't communicate the law and don't take your sick leave.

    Btw, unionize to prevent all this.

  • Yeah but I mean if your bank would offer their app through F-Droid as an addition to Google Play, there is no reason to assume the app suddenly got less secure because of that.

  • But, there's no difference in security between using a different storefront? The difference in security depends on the app itself, not where it was downloaded from.

    I just finish to see all TNG movies.
  • Semi-unrelated question: I've watched Star Trek Voyager with my gf, she doesn't know any other Trek. I don't think we want to watch TOS, but will probably continue with TNG and DS9 next.

    Do you need to know the TOS characters like Kirk, Spock etc before watching their movies, or are they adequately introduced in the movies so you can watch them as someone completely ignorant?

  • I don't really have the will or the time to read through long Wikipedia pages or even reading books or similar, which would obviously be a much better, more reliable, more neutral, but also more dry, choice to gain a good understanding of Anarchism.

    I have some basic, specific questions that would probably be answered by doing the above, but since I'm not willing to do that (I know, I know), would it be fine for me to ask them in this community?

    Anarchism is the revolutionary idea that no one is more qualified than you are to decide what your life will be.
  • I've saved this post for a whole while because I didn't have the time to really read and think about this. I'm still in the state that I don't really want to spend very much time reading Wikipedia pages or reading books on the topic or similar.

    I'm certainly not in any predetermined camp regarding pro- or anti-anarchism. I have some general thoughts from the basic understanding that I possess about the world in general.

    I may ask some questions here in this community to get some more easily to digest and specific info from you people :)

    Is this a triangle?
  • But it's absolutely clear that the first definition is meant by the person that is being responded to. That is why the clarification is needed. This is not about "most people", but this specific one person in this specific comment thread. "It doesn’t matter that the edges are curved?" is only said by someone that thinks in the first definition, not in the second.

    Is this a triangle?
  • Well that depends on your definition of curved... If I look at this image from a 3 dimensional coordinate system that includes the sphere, the edges are definitely curved. Of course, if you look at this from the coordinate system "surface of the sphere" then I would agree with you. There are 2 ways to look at this and decide if it is a triangle, and the bro you responded to didn't understand this and needs it explained.
