A Lawyer's Warmup: "You Look Like a Homeless Person" — Just Joking in c/politics@hexbear.net
[–] LeftieLatour@hexbear.net 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Yes, I see, but a) what makes you think I really look like a homeless person? (I know very well how to look like a "good" person in terms of appearance and attitude according to social expectations. After all, I'm born and raised in my homeland as an upper middle-class person. I think what made the lawyer think that I look like a homeless person was my winter jacket and the backpack. I had taken them off for the appointment and was wearing just a shirt with a pullover—so no hoodie, simple but presentable). b) What I don't understand is that, no matter what I wear, this is not an appropriate time for such a joke, and it is at least not professional. If you have such a concern as a lawyer, you should be able to address it beforehand and not in the form of a joke.

My lawyer told me I looked like a homeless person (backpack + documents) minutes before my court hearing. When I complained, his response: "I'll be more careful with my jokes next time." A perfect example of non-apology.

"Why Did You Come to Germany?": On Complicity and Willful Ignorance (educatedkanak.liberta.vip)

New post: Many migrants know this question: “Why did you come to Germany?” I write about why it’s rarely as innocent as it sounds. We often talk about migration as if it were just a personal decision — ignoring wars, repression, the arms trade, and Europe’s part in all of it. I try to unpack what it means to be asked such a personal question in that larger context.

The criticism is mostly valid, but the news source is not. It’s no coincidence that they didn't mention Rowling’s TERF controversy.

Exactly! Actually in the first draft of the email, there was such a part: how the arm industry of germany "helped" me to move to Germany.

Although it is sad that you find it boring and common thanks to you, I learnt a new idiom. Cooking cutter: "(idiomatic) , (often disparaging) Looking or seeming identical; created by some standard or common means; often with the implication that the result is common, boring, or not applicable to all needs." from Wiktionary,

So first of all I am a newbie on FOSS/Privacy/security issues therefore it's better to double check but as far as I understand github Jira integrations as well as offline/selfhosting are optional so you are free to chose. I am snycing my tasks within the app via a nextcloud server. And it works well for me
