I honestly don't mind working a lot, as long as it benefits EVERYBODY and not just a handful of hoarders. I love improving things for others.

In the EU it's not street legal. In short, it fails a plethora of basic safety regulations.

Back to back meetings has entered the chat

It doesn't say anything! Tattoos can't speak, you silly.

According to wikipedia:

Headquarters

• Olathe, Kansas, U.S (operations)
• Schaffhausen, Switzerland (legal domicile)

I'm not really sure if that fully counts as EU/European 🤷

Or maybe the Nocebo effect instead? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nocebo

Not sure if forums are dead. I still get some information from (German) forums where the hardcore techies or enthusiasts hang.

Are your wife and girlfriend on good terms? 😏👉💦

Superman's Kryptonite is that he can never, ever be fed after midnight!

Thank you for sharing that. I think that passionate teachers are the cornerstone of a good society and healthy community!

That made me think about the Finnish model. I think they are doing this somewhat right. A masters degree is a minimal requirement for teaching at all levels except very early education.

If anybody from Finland reading this could share their thoughts on this that would be amazing. In not from Finland myself.

Perfect timing.. just read this pretty rough article myself yesterday:

This just makes me so sad. Imagine your abusers staying in power and being the most influential persons in the world. Just makes me wanna burn it all.

Yeah that makes sense of course. You are definitely not the only one. Sounds like you know your limits!

In the end, and in my personal belief, we're all one big community and we have a chance to uplift each other (I know, I know, utopian fantasy much?). It should not be a competition, but a synergy. In my book, it's the effort that counts, not the hours.

You absolute legend. Do you have an alert set up when somebody mentions your name or are you an actual omnipotent being?

A wild Crocolax is blocking your path.

I can relate to your dad.

Hi stranger! I love you!

Jokes aside, I'm sure I can't convince you, but I'm sharing this for other readers here in case they find it interesting.

Our brain is fairly complex and deals with unique, complex, but usually somewhat familiar problem patterns throughout the day. To handle this complexity efficiently, the brain tries to run on autopilot as much as possible. I think the brain is one of the most energy-hungry organs in our body (either that, or the Mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell).

When you're stressed or on high alert, you carefully weigh every word. BUT when you're relaxed and comfortable, your brain slips into these autopilot scripts. That's when these verbal "muscle memories" can kick in.

Based on this scenario, if you can slip into autopilot mode where you naturally say "I love you" to someone, chances are high you're regularly surrounded by loving relationships where this phrase is common. Your brain has basically created a shortcut for familiar social interactions.

So to this OP, get rekt lol. you're actually outing yourself as someone who is NOT experiencing a lot of love in your life! Hope I'm either wrong or this changes for you in the future. CHEERS.

Estonia so far! Yours?

I'm in love.

Do you mean no longer part of the EU? Because for as far as I know the island is still geographically in Europe lol.
