You know you have to get a cat named Anton now, right?

We had to read 'Der Vorleser' in which a 15 year old boy gets into a relationship with a 36 year old woman. A strange choice to force kids about that age to read (we were a bit older than 15, I think. But still...)

Breaks are unpaid because that was another way to minimize what workers have to be paid.

Businesses always look for ways to pay their employees less and only change practices when forced.

Without strong unions and support from politicians things tend to get worse and worse.

Too bad that we have neither.

Schools - and some businesses - see getting up early as some kind of achievement, a trait to be proud of. A thought that was mirrored in the influencer scene with the insane 'grindset' videos. Get up early and get done more than the others... Completely ignoring that the amount of sleep we need doesn't change with how early you get up.

Some people get up early and have no problem with that, but that's not the case for everyone. In the dawn of time, it was better to have some people who get up early and some who prefer to stay up late: that way the tribe was better protected because the time where everyone was sleeping was minimized.

Now everyone who biologically tends to be more productive when they can work late and get up late is painted as lazy and forced to work against their inner clock.

Oh it trickles down. Just not money, but at least it's warm and golden 🙏

Plus he's probably just not in the files because Epstein had young girls.

Oh they added new ones:

If we release the list society would collapse from all the politicians going to jail.

And: The list is a fake made by Obama, Hillary and Biden

And: Releasing the files would be like releasing CP

I think what they don't want to say: enough Republican politicians will be in the files to remove the Republicans from power.

Probably creates by a group of middle-aged men who never touched a console.

People with no idea about the product who simply looked at the target demographics and thought:

"What do teenage boys like? Sex.

Let's go with that since research is hard."

What's with the name calling? Was any of my arguments wrong or am I just supposed to switch off my brain follow the group-think?
