  • I saw it yesterday and there was not a single child in the theater. Granted, this was the English version in a German theater but it’s a city with people from all over the world, I would have expected at least a few. Would be interesting to see what the audience in the German and Ukrainian¹ language versions looks like but I’m not willing to buy two more tickets just to check.

    ¹ Yes, some German theaters started offering Ukrainian showings of some movies back in 2022 and at least the ones around here still have that for children’s movies.








  • As someone living outside the US, your whole comment and the surrounding ones are absolutely wild.

    Here in Germany, work without a contract is absolutely unthinkable. If anyone offered me a job without a contract, I would have to immediately report them to the authorities on the suspicion of tax fraud.

    Also, even without a single word about it in my contract, they would have needed to notify me way in advance if they wanted to let me go. The exact duration varies by how long you’ve been there but the minimum is four weeks. For me it would have been four months because I had been there for over ten years. Also, the requirement for an employee to quit can never be stricter than for them to be fired. If you’re interested in the details, I recommend you find a translation of § 622 BGB.

    And yes, these rules do get enforced reliably. The mere mention of the word “lawyer” usually gets even the most stubborn boss to comply in these cases because they know that every judge would rule against them within minutes.


  • Doch, natürlich kannst du das. Das ist ja das Schöne an Proton. Und wenn du irgendwas brauchst, was nur über die Läden von Winzigweich ode ElektronikKunst zu beziehen ist, dann kannst du dir immer noch Fenster auf die Dampfmaschine ziehen, weil sie eben einfach nur ein ganz normaler Rechner ist und keine Konsole, die dich nur das machen lässt, was der Hersteller will.
