While I have no doubt that officer (and even most NCO) do know more than basic english, I have some doubts regarding the typical high-school drop out who enlists in the infantry.
So if you need to talk about geopolitic, aircraft maintenance or even coordinates two different group of soldier, NATO english would be fine. But how would a multi-lingual crew works on a warship ? What about a multi-lingual patrol ?
I actually forgot about that one, but indeed that’s an interesting case
Website, social media (including meetup or facebook), flyers,
In many jurisdiction, it’s not that complicated to create a small non profit club to collect money to rent a space which is often sufficient to attract people
Out of curiosity, can a judge temporarily strip someone from their election/vote right as part/alternative to a sentence ? It’s a relatively common sentence for French politicians found guilty of corruptions (Which save the cost of keeping them in prison and limit their ability to re-offend) but no idea whether it’s universal or unique
I wouldn’t wory too much about that coworker, if they can’t handle something as banal as fuck, it’s their problem, not yours
To be fair, if OP lives in the northern hemisphere, the season for Tomatoes is over, so it’s hard to get fresh tomatoes that doesn’t taste like water
Answer based on European standard where worker have some basic rights
Not happy in the job : do the bare minimum while looking for something else guarantees that pay keeps coming, worst-case they fire-you giving you a severance pay (not necessarily big if you’re new in the company) and keeping your right to unemployment (which in general are lost when you quit).
Toxic environment impacting mental health : Go to your doctor and take sick-leaves, and please do it before being in full burn out, then come back to previous point
Very toxic environment, like harassment : Talk with a lawyer or an union representative you may have a case to sue the company, and even quit on the spot while keeping severance pay and unemployment rights, but you may-need a legal advise for it
Most people with Ph.D don’t use the Dr title out of a formal setting.
Between People thinking that you’re a physicianand asking about their health, and people thinking you’re pedantic. Better staying discrete.
How would a dishonest person add extra? Here in Australia you go in, get signed off on a book, and they give you a piece of paper for your voting preferences. You don’t get unlimited papers to vote multiple times.
My hypothesis is that the dishonest person is an official, so they can be the person giving the ballots/envelope, they were present when we opened the box with ballots/envelope to put them on the table, and have access to the box (The one storing the empty envelopes/ballots) where they’re stored to refill the table over the day. So getting ballots/envelope is quite easy, and all in less than 2 minutes you can put them in the box and sign near a sick/old person name. Looks like even easier if you close/open the voting office every morning/evening for a week, and store the box for the night. So I am curious about the safeguards.
It’s been over 40 years that Japan has been massively exporting anime to the west.
People under 50 yo grew up watching Dragon-ball, Sailor-Moon, Naruto or one piece rather than Superman/batman
Block Lemmygrad, hexbear, and may-be even .ml if your instance doesn’t
Don’t browse the c/ starting with politics/worldnews and similar
Keep on relax, cool, communities. places like !foodporn@lemmy.world, !jukebox@sh.itjust.works or even !imageai@sh.itjust.works should be pretty safe compared to !world@lemmy.world
Useful for what?
As a kind of joke, look at these senior citizen doing tai chi in the park, while many 80 years old can’t walk without a cane. Looks like pretty useful.
Judo or Aïkido will teach you how to fall, which may save you a visit to the ER if you slip on the street, and pretty useful again.
It’s also a fun way to exercise and stay in shape, so again, it’s useful
This is what brought the pirate bay guys in jail, why the scihub girl is seen as a criminal by the US, and what caused reddit founder Aaron Schwarz suicide
Welcome here.
Not sure what are reddit friends for anyway. And in general the point of a new account is to see fresh communities/person. I don’t think you can import reddit to lemmy anyway
Comm’on bringing reasonable and moderate argument on an internet discussion :) You’re supposed to bring strong troll-like arguments about one of them being a worst place than best Korea either because you couldn’t bring your god given car in the pedestrian centre of a European city, or that you fell threatened by the idea of everyone being a gun carrying psycho, even that a guy from the US office of your company brought you to a shooting range
This is why, minimal wage should be high enough that people can live. It’s not normal, that in many western nation, a minimum wage worker cannot afford rent in non social housing and it still poor enough to be eligible to welfare program as soon as they have kids
We need some Lemmy gold, because tht comment desserve it

What do you mean ? Tons of people come back to school later in life, and it’s ~~often ~~ sometimes funded by unemployment, better giving money to someone for 2 years than for thei rwhole life
it can quickly get unreadable. I mean, I’m fine having a smiley to mark-down the humour/sarcasm, or the bad news but on some social media it’s like

Even more straightforward stuff can still be messy, I am not saving much by writing 🇧🇪 still has no government (Is that Romania ? Germany ? Belgium ? ) over Belgium still has no government
While I love the theoretical idea of direct democracy, the EU is supposed to address high level issue with generic directive.
So complex laws on complex topics. Do you know the details of directives like reach? (and typical lemmy audience has more chance to understand REACH over finance) Do you know the details about every chemical substance allowed/banned? Even good faith politicians end up believing lobbyists, imagine a regural person without a team of assistant
Direct democracy is great, but the EU is a too generic level for it to work
