    The most prominent example that comes to my mind is Chiquita. Their history is as cruel as it is interesting and it always leaves a bad taste seeing their bananas in my supermarket. Easily one of the most evil companies ever.





  • Election day was only yesterday, so the exploratory talks for possible coalitions are only just beginning. The party with the second most votes (conservative) had already announced that it does not want to form a coalition with the party “Die Linke” (our leftmost party, this is also the case nationwide) but also not with the fascists. This leaves only a minority government with a center-left party and a new party that has both radical right and radical left issues in its program (if I have understood this new party correctly). But “Die Linke” has already said that it would play along with a minority government, even if it is not part of it, as long as they agree or negotiate on the respective issues.

    This is happening right now in Germany. In two of our 16 federal states, the fascist party got around 30% of votes through fear mongering and propaganda. In one of the states, all of the remaining parties would be needed to create a functionable government with a majority, containing the whole spectrum from left to right. I am not sure about the future of this state.


  • Thanks for the write up! As a member of one of the strongest unions in the world (IG Metall, I can’t imagine how hypocritical such arguments from Amazon must be when it feels like I get another benefit from my union every month. Without it, I would still be working 40 hours a week instead of 35 and wouldn’t have 2 additional monthly salaries per year. I hope for all Americans that unions become stronger in your country.




  • I felt really bad don’t liking such a well reviewed game. But in the end gaming is a hobby and I should enjoy it, so I quit after around 6 hours. Maybe some day in the future I will try it again, but right now my life is so stressful, that I don’t have the energy to power through another open world game with collectibles spread across the map. Right now I am really enjoying Steam World Heist 2 and Cult of the Lamb instead.




  • Unter Kapitel Studies:

    A 2016 study of a sample of academic journals (not news publications) that set out to test Betteridge’s law and Hinchliffe’s rule (see below) found that few titles were posed as questions and of those, few were yes/no questions and they were more often answered “yes” in the body of the article rather than “no”. A 2018 study of 2,585 articles in four academic journals in the field of ecology similarly found that very few titles were posed as questions at all, with 1.82 percent being wh-questions and 2.15 percent being yes/no questions. Of the yes/no questions, 44 percent were answered “yes”, 34 percent “maybe”, and only 22 percent were answered “no”. In 2015, a study of 26,000 articles from 13 news sites on the World Wide Web, conducted by a data scientist and published on his blog, found that the majority (54 percent) were yes/no questions, which divided into 20 percent “yes” answers, 17 percent “no” answers and 16 percent whose answers he could not determine.

    Die Antwort ist anscheinend häufiger Ja als Nein. Also wieso nicht auch Ja in diesem Fall?
