  • Well they also interrogated POWs after the 1st and someone lied and said the US had massive supplies of them. After the 2nd dropped, they figured it was true.

    From preparing to die in a land invasion to thinking the entire island could be destroyed in a few days without even seeing an American GI





  • I’ve been in Management for the last few years, some teams were 60+ people and some were only about 15. Your chief is a dick that needs to get their hands dirty. Any boss that isn’t willing to respect the time of their team, whether on the clock or off the clock, doesn’t deserve to be a boss.

    I knew the hours of everyone on my team. I never gave a shit if you had kids or a party waiting for you after work, what you do after your scheduled hours is up to you. If I didn’t have enough employees for the work we had, that’s my problem and not yours.






  • Massachusetts is dense with the added bonus of comparatively old-world city designs. I’ve found NJ and NY drivers to be more vocal and annoyed, whereas Mass drivers will just risk wrecking you to prove a point because you’ve slightly inconvenienced them and made them a little more late

    Edit: I also hate camping the passing lane, but the trait I seem not to share with the other Massholes is that I like to keep distance in front of my car regardless of how fast my car is able to go






  • I’ve not really met friendly German Police, but nearly all of them are very professional. If I had a problem or a comment, I had no reservations about talking to an Officer because they study and know their laws relatively well, and are strict with their processes when escalation is warranted

    As with all areas, know what you can and can’t do. Know what is suspicious and what’s accepted in a culture that isn’t yours. Most Polizei I’ve spoken with were more likely to talk to you or fine you before letting you go if you did something wrong (Polizei in Leipzig and Berlin can eat shit though).




  • In Uni, 3 of my roommates were trans of varying types. General consensus in the trans community is that you use the bathroom that will cause fewest problems. For many that haven’t transitioned, this is often the gender assigned at birth. If you’re mid-transition or are still struggling with your presentation, ask a staff member (if there is a staff) or bring a friend if you can.
