The Brits have such a way with words. You know. Those things with letter that help you define and say stuff about things.

Additionally, civil servants should not join the party from now on, as joining a party that is officially a danger to our basic law is contra to the legal expectations of civil servants (they may not act against the state). Those that are already members might lose jobs, potentially.

One result: the press may now call them far-right in articles without fearing legal repercussions for slander. It's also a piece of evidence for a legal process to ban the AfD, which would result in it being dissolved + its members never allowed to form another party / hold another official office.

I just found out that around 20% of the neanderthal genome still exists today in living people!!

No individual person has more than 3 or 4% but we don't all have the same bits. If you add up all the bits we've found, about a fifth of the Neanderthal genome is still present on earth today.

Back then in the UK, the adult legal age was 21 (changed in the 1960s, I think?). However, the Brits had conscription in WW2 for all men aged 18-41, so legally non-adult men were sent to war as well.

Took a much better shot of Pleides tonight! 😍

Unions were one part of why Walmart left our German market after a few years (with a loss even). They made sure Walmart had to comply with German laws and German laws protect unions. And guess what? We're still largest national economy in EU and third by GDP worldwide.

My boss wanted us to use AI assisted writing to speed up our writing process. Fact-checking what the AI wrote took the same time that researching and writing the text ourselves would have. Sometimes those mistakes are sneaky, esp. if you're a journalist writing about a topic you're not an expert in.

Post four indie games you think more people should have played. (love this, so many new indie games to try!)

Assuming all fanfiction is written poorly really just shows you've never been caught in the chokehold of a 150k slowburn that changed the course of your life at 2:40am written by someone whose username has 4 Zs in it and they only wrote one fic and then vanished like an ethereal legend.

Fanfiction etiquette is incredibly simple, actually. Don't like it, don't read it. No one is forcing you to, which is why it looks ridiculous to complain about it, especially if you were content warned. AO3 tags + "exclude" is one of the greatest reading tools ever. Use them properly and voila!
