I'm an American working in the u.s. for a company based in Germany. They have soooo many more days off than us. They're out at least 3 months of the year before taking additional PTO. They like to bring their European values of work to the u s. But unfortunately that doesn't mean that I get any more off time. I save all year from January to December and if I never took any of it my PTO amounts to 3 weeks. If you're an American they have different standards for you because american work culture means getting fucked and hating your life lol.

That being said I still feel like the days I get are generous and I am happy and grateful. But that's only because I used to get nothing at my old job. It's only crappy if I compare to others which is the thief of joy and whatnot.

I like how my social security card explicitly says not to be for identification and tax purposes only. But I need for absolutely fucking everything and to identify I'm a citizen. Can hardly sign up for a new email without a SSN. (Exaggerating of course about the email)

At least it wasn't in the US. Calling the police on someone for anything has a non zero chance of just getting them straight up murdered. So i was happy to see it was in NZ lol

I don't know how they think I could afford subscriptions for every object in my life. There's no way

They did do this sometimes. The Patriot isn't so great for this

Yeah. I just don't like trying to email 100+ authors haha. But you are right in general they do like to share most of the time

I need people to submit more of the research papers that I need to be able to read to lib Gen or sci hub

[–] Doxatek@mander.xyz 10 points 9 months ago

Oh I know what it is and I'm trying to not remember on purpose please don't remind me

[–] Doxatek@mander.xyz 7 points 9 months ago

I always excitedly go to Scihub or LibGen only to find that they never have the paper I am wanting. Smh
