I work for a university and we used to get two weeks off between Christmas and New years every year, now with our new president he’s decided to only extend that privilege to the faculty and the staff only get Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and New Year’s Day off but have to work the rest of the time.
I’d say a solid 50.
I’m fine if I have some other kind of stimulation. If I find a good book to get lost in, an engaging project, or anything else to occupy myself I don’t think of the Internet at all and kind of forget it exists.
But as soon as I’m bored and have no other mental stimulation my phone is out and I’m browsing something.
I don’t have kids myself, but I understand that it’s the employers fault they don’t extend the same privileges to me, not the parents fault for receiving the privilege.

It just depends on how you say it out loud.
Here in the us, we would say today is December 11th, so we write it the same way, 12/11.
Other parts of the world would say today is the 11th of December, so they write it that way, 11/12.
I get YouTube Premium and YouTube music free with my Google Fi phone plan, so I don’t know if those count as subscriptions.
I actively subscribe to NordVPN to hide my piracy habits from my ISP.
I pirate pretty much everything else.
Every spider you kill that you see makes them better at hiding in your house
Copper tarnishes quickly and forms a green patina in salty sea air, and the vast majority of ancient settlements happened to be on the coast.
I live in an older town about 700 miles from the ocean, they recently restored our courthouse with a new copper roof to replace the one from 1824 and it had a green patina in less than a year.
I don’t think salty air is a requirement for patina, just oxygenation.
Do you want to see the people who killed Osama Bin Laden prosecuted?
Because the United Heath CEO killed far more people, including many more children, than Bin Laden did on 9/11.
I simply wouldn’t believe it.
There’s no way so many people could keep something that big quiet for so long.
It would be more than just the leaders, there would be thousands of people involved over the course of decades. Someone would have spilled the beans at some point by now.
The next biggest economy would likely fill the power vacuum, which at the moment would be China.
European countries would likely band together but still align their policies closer to Russian polices because they’re a more imminent threat than China.
There would probably be several small brush wars as countries try to to consolidate power amongst regional areas like North America and the Middle East.
Fragile ceasefires backed by American influence would pretty quickly dissolve like between North and South Korea.
And in a few decades everything will settle into a new “normal” just like it did when other great empires have lost their influence.
No, but I know what I’m doing later now lol
Disregard, double posted because shitty connection
Iron Sky, it was a B movie in the early 2000’s
Don’t respond. Anyone who feels the need to express that is just looking for a reaction. Don’t indulge them. When people genuinely dislike someone they tend to only interact with them when absolutely necessary, so if they’re volunteering the information without being prompted it’s only for a reaction.
Absolutely.
There are two ways to make sure nuclear weapons are never used in war:
#1 is never going to happen. The US, Russia, and China are for sure never ever giving up their nuclear weapons.
So #2 it is, level the playing field and give everyone nuclear weapons. A nation is far less likely to use a nuclear weapon if they know they can and will get nuked back right away.

The opposite. Google won’t be able to leverage chrome to drive website design and Internet policy anymore and it’ll give smaller companies an opportunity to get a better foothold in the market. That’s the whole point in breaking them off from Google in the first place.
To remember to make resolutions next year
Same as last year and the year before.
