La France des gens qui ne remettent jamais en questions leurs idées préconçues, c'est beau

Laws of physics? They're more what you'd call "guidelines" than actual rules

Why are they even ziptied? Are the cops afraid of being beat up by grandmas ?

J'ai toujours eu du mal a comprendre la différence profonde entre le principe des tickets restaurants et les gens qui donnent une pièce a des SDF en précisant "C'est pas pour acheter de l'alcool ou de la drogue hein !".

Je trouve les restrictions du ticket restaurant tellement paternalistes

I recognize Prague's Charles Bridge at the bottom right but what are those on the bottom left and bottom center?

Yeah, shower sex might be one of the most overrated things I know. It always feels like a good idea at first and then you quickly realize that the logistics of it are hell

I think Putin's very glad to see the West tearing itself apart by litteraly covering up a genocide and aiding a war of agression

I work for a retailer and have been loosely involved in a project like that a few years ago.

Basically, it felt like it was mostly a very inexpensive way for the company to get everyone involved feel good about themselves. The free advertising was definitely an argument to get the higher-ups on board, but my impression was that it was kinda secondary compared to the kinda fake good conscience it gave everyone.

There was definitely no tax breaks for that initiative though, so at least in my country that is indeed a myth

EDIT: You also get to say in your annual report to the shareholders that the company helped raise x millions euros to charities at no cos, which in turn makes them feel good about themselves without impacting their profits.

Ars Technica has always been very upfront about it whenever they cover news related to reddit. It's certainly not ideal, but Ars Technica remains a very good website for tech news
