"Dark Histories" has some disturbing ones, as it is usually about strange events or Indeed murders, but the descriptions of the episodes allow you to weed through it, and leave those ones out.

I really enjoyed the ones about "Gef the mongoose" or the disappearance of the man who invented the first moving pictures. It goes deep into the history and times surrounding the stories which is very cool, so its main focus is history and society.

But it's not really comparable though, is it? I also happen to live in Germany. I work 8 hours, have to pay for my own 30 minute lunch break and have about 3 hours of transport a day, 1,5 hours each way, the days I go into the office. That makes a day of 11,5 hours only spend on work, not counting the hour getting ready before I leave, which I don't really count as free time. There are no other breaks included in the day. I'm not saying that school isn't hard, but when I went to e.g university I had a heck of a lot more time to explore my own interests than I do now. When I get home I have to make dinner for the family, empty the dishwasher, do the laundry etc. (and I share these talks with my partner) and I maybe have a good two hours of doing nothing before going to bed on weekdays. I would take school, with all the exams and what not, any day.

I tried, I really tried, but when he was about the get a bj from the odd tv lady, I had to tap out. My eyes started crying before my brain registered my emotional state.

Pretty accurate I would say. They just missed the constantly staring at it as well.

Yes I understand that, but the article was being downvoted when I wrote that, and when I first glanced at it, I thought it was propaganda as too.

NK-news also took a moment to research, because their approach seem to be a non-aggressive one (with North Korea) and the only articles that aren't completely negative about NK, are usually propaganda in some form. What you can read from the link about them is, that they are in fact mostly neutral.

So, I might not have been too clear in my comment, and I admit I only skimmed the article on my way to work, but I was actually trying to defend the article being there and giving it some background.

Oh this is a great one. I was once in a job, where we were introduced to a new system that was designed to count successes. The problem was, that it was a job where we worked with people and everything we did couldn't be quantified. The new system only put value on what could be counted so 80% of our work became invisible and "worthless". Great times.
