16 Times Tumblr Made You Think Too Hard |
*deletes Tumblr account* |
Posted on |
1. When they questioned what it meant to wait for waiters. |
2. When they couldn't answer a question about something we look at every day. |
3. When they made you think about your brain. Or made your brain think about itself? |
4. And made sleeping a less relaxing experience. |
5. When they pondered the feelings of spiders. |
6. When they suddenly made you less annoyed by babies crying. |
7. And when they started feeling sorry for inanimate objects. |
Bagels should be experienced by all. |
8. When they made balloons less exciting for everyone. |
9. And when they pointed out that there's really no difference between 'staches and brows. |
10. When they realized we don't simply "talk" to each other, we transfer data. |
Give yourself more credit! |
11. When they realized one of the first things you ever memorized in life was pointless. |
12. And that 26 letters go a long way. |
13. AND, that authors are really just remixers. |
14. Really, words are just too much for everyone. |
Everyone calm down! |
Everyone calm down! |
15. When they made you suddenly want to go hug your parents. |
16. And when they discovered that rock, paper, scissors wasn't just a game. |

Washington Is Preparing A Warmonger To Start WW3 |
By Edmondo Burr:Your News Wire |
American economist, journalist, blogger and former Assistant Secretary of the Treasury under President Reagan, Dr. Paul Craig Roberts says that WW3 is likely to happen soon as the American empire dithers on the verge. |
The neocons in Washington might actually decide to strike at Russia or China while they still sway power. |
Dr. Roberts warns Russia to stay alert and see beyond Washington’s rhetoric. |

Well, it is possible that Washington’s elite forces will argue over the rapprochement between Turkey and Russia. |
They will argue like: “Look! Our focus is on the Kremlin. We have to strike the Russians now, while we still have some strength”. There will be neoconservatives, who will make that argument. |
On the other hand, many people, not just in Washington but in Europe, will realize that with the weakening of the alliance it is even more risky to strike Russia. And various European governments will say: “Why do we want to be at risk for the sake of the Americans? If the Americans want to have power all over the worl... |
So, it’s entirely possible, that the exit from the EU and exit from NATO would break up the ability of Washington to exercise its aggressive policies. Then they may simply have to accept the presence of other strong countries that are Russia and China. It may force Washington into a more reasonable stand. |
I can’t predict which argument will win. I think if this kind of argument will materialize when Hillary Clinton is President, there will be a bigger danger of Russia being attacked. Because she is a warmonger. The last chance is on the other candidate. |
So, it remains to be seen. The Russians need to stay very attentive. They must know by now that they cannot trust Washington. You can’t believe anything that Washington says. American people can’t believe them either. |
We just have to see what Turkey will do and what Britain will do. Could they actually manage to get out of NATO? Two years is a long time, Washington could try to work on the British government. If the British will successfully leave the EU, this could encourage other countries. And if Turkey will leave NATO, this coul... |

contract law in Germany |
Contract law in relation to German business culture |
Germans are typically well known for their excellence in planning. They strive for perfection and value details. People like following the rules and procedures laid out, as it helps them identify their roles and execute them. This practice is followed in all aspects of life, whether be it business, politics or their pe... |
Also if you want to negotiate a contract, your German counterparts always come to the meeting with substantial research and preparation. This helps them to put across their views convincingly. The culture of objective debate is encouraged in order to get to the 'right' solution to the problem. It is not unusual to see ... |
It is highly unusual in Germany that they may get into an oral contract. German business people prefer all the terms & agreements written and signed into a legal format. |
Price negotiations in a German contract |
Global competition makes charging the right price absolutely critical. To understand the pricing issues, it is important to know that companies from outside the EU may face import duties, however, it is subject to specific trade agreements between concerned countries. It is interesting to note that Germans generally wo... |
When it comes to a business conflict in Germany |
It is not the German approach to threaten with a law suit directly. Nor striving to get judgement from a higher level of management, when it comes to more internal conflicts. An open hearing with debate may only force both parties to take stronger stands, which may hinder any further collaboration. |
The best way would be to involve a mediator, whether in a formal role or not. It should be a person who is trusted by both parties. The best way is to have this mediator hear the views from both sides in separate meetings, so that he can come up with a solution, or guide the both parties in a meeting that is strictly u... |
Germans can very well be convinced with arguments, but on the other hand you should also justify why you don't agree with them. An explanation 'this is not in our interest' only leads to frustration. |
German law in English and German business law |
There are two institutions that offer translations of German laws: the Center for German Legal Information and the German Law Archive of the university of Oxford. If you look specifically at business law then you can at the website of the Hauser Global Law School. |
Structure of Germany's Legal System |
Germany follows a civil law system. it is is based on codified law which means that Germans follow statutes and other written sources of law. Some examples could be the German Civil Code and the German Civil Procedure Code. German courts are need not restricted by their own earlier decisions or those by higher courts. ... |
German proceedings - civil, criminal, administrative- are conducted without juries. Professional judges try the cases, sometimes, with lay judges. The judge and the prosecution both have the same goal - to get to the bottom of the case to the best extent. |
Arbitration in Germany |
Arbitration is common in Germany. However, long and complex proceedings could be a slight disadvantage as compared to German court litigation which is comparatively time- and cost-efficient. |
Legislation for German arbitration |
With only a few minor differences, the German arbitration law follows the UNCITRAL Model Law. Most claims pertaining to financial transactions are arbitrable. Other claims are arbitrable so long as parties are entitled to arrive at a settlement of the dispute (section 1030, ZPO). Non-arbitrable matters include those in... |
Is German arbitration confidential? |
There is no such provision for confidentiality in German arbitration law. Though arbitrations are not public, they are not protected for confidentiality unless there is a specific party agreement on confidentiality. A very general confidentiality provision under section 43 of the DIS Rules covers the parties - the arbi... |
Litigation in Germany |
• A limitation period of three years |
• The proceedings can be funded by a third party |
• It is regulated under civil law in Germany as opposed to common law in other nations |
Litigation and enforcement in Germany |
Owing to its civil law tradition, conflicts in Germany are settled with an inquisitorial approach. This is opposite of the adversarial common law tradition. |
The judge is the only adjudicator of the facts and the law; there is no place for the jury. Parties are required to provide a full statement of the supporting facts. The court decides on matters using its own discretion and conviction. |
Costs of litigation in Germany |
The German system of civil litigation costs is based on the principle that the loser of the litigation must compensate all costs and fees incurred by the winner. There are fixed fees for most of the costs that your counter party may incur in the trial. This limits the risks of having to pay extensive bills of lawyers a... |
In case both parties settle, or in case both of them get their claims partially awarded, the costs of the proceedings will be split. |
You can only represent yourself in local courts, this will be a way to reduce your costs. In all higher courts, presence of an lawyer is needed. The local courts can handle claims up to 5,000 euro. In many cases mediation or arbitration may be safer options. |
Expanding to the Germany can be challenging. It is advisable to do research thoroughly, to understand the culture, legal system, and necessary procedures to optimise the outcomes of your strategy. |
Where it comes to doing market research and approaching potential distributors or agents, you will get the best result if this is being done by a German, not by somebody from abroad. Our colleagues in Germany would be happy to help you. |

Frostgrave - (Review) Skirmish Campaign Wargame |
A skirmish campaign-based wargame, with adventurers exploring a ruined city, battling other warbands for riches. Sound familiar? |
Frostgrave was a magic city, devestated by a warpstone meteorite covered in ice by a cataclysm. A millennia later, it's thawing out - and warbands lead by wizards are exploring the city, seeking riches and hidden knowledge. Hunting treasure is important - and is a way to win without "killing em all." |
The Shiny |
Frostgrave is a hardback put out by Osprey. At $25 delivered it is great value, and good quality. Easy to read layout, and plenty of Osprey artwork as well as pictures of miniatures. There's no quick-reference sheet but there is very handy spell cards to keep track of things. I found no difficulty navigating the bo... |
The rulebook is hardcover (surprising for Osprey) and has original artwork and pictures of minis. Glossy, and good bang for the buck. |
Magic #1 |
In a recent post I was wishing for a game where magicians are the central characters. Frostgrave delivers. Your hero is a magician, supported by an apprentice. There are 10 schools of magic - chromomancer, elementalist, enchanters, illusionists, necromancers, sigilists, soothsayers, summoners, thaumages, and witches... |
Each school has its own spells, but wizards can also use other "aligned" or neutral schools (at a penalty) . Wizards get 3 spells from their school, one from each of their aligned schools, and any two from the neutral schools. Later in a campaign, experienced wizards can learn and use opposing magic (at a significant... |
Stats. A straight forward, descriptive stat-line similar to games like LOTR. |
Move, Fight, Shoot, Armour, Will, Health. All of which are familiar. I nodded approvingly. Until I realized "Health" meant "Hitpoints." Ugh, I hate hitpoints. |
