CSU politician Ulrike Scharf wants to allow daily working times of 12 hours, and to reduce the statuory rest periods between working days. Now comes the fun part: she justifies that with a better compatibility of family and career. You couldn't make that shit up. Reading that I'm grateful this party isn't in power anymore.

Tuchel would be amazing. Although, imagine if they really bring in Sammer as a technical director as well. Two strong personalities who never shy away from voicing their opinions. That has clash potential.

Thought Indonesia were one of the more open minded societies in that area. Guess I was wrong, either that or I 'll have to take a new look on the comparative values in this part of the world. Even the the existence of blasphemy laws seems to me like a reason to avoid a state. More lenience towards corruption is the icing on the cake, though.

That's outrageous... what a nightmare for it's people

Lena Oberdorf donated her 5000 Euro prize, she won for her:" Women's football, men's football, it's just football" statement, that was elected this years football quote of the year, to "Scoring Girls" a football project helping girls in Iraq-

Kicker, who're usually quite cautious with speculations, reckon Flick's position as the team's manager were under threat and name Tuchel as a possible successor.

Reema Juffali has been nominated in the BBC 100 Women series for this year https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/resources/idt-75af095e-21f7-41b0-9c5f-a96a5e0615c1

Well, if they also made child labour legal again, then the whole family could work at the same place and spend 12 hours together!

Mutated zombies is a good idea. I think the zombie genre has had to evolve. Its gone from slow moving to fast moving to clever zombies and mutated zombies. I actually think the idea of different kinds of zombies is good. Harder to beat them if they act differently

Nah not like World War Z type fast but not dreadfully slow, also different types of mutated zombies as well. The unsettling sound you hear is what they call "clickers" in the games. They've turned into what they are after long exposure to the fungus and evolved and adapted from humans becoming extinct basically; they are quicker and more lethal then a traditional zombie. The trailer appears to show a "bloater" at the end as well which is another type that throws poisonous fungi balls at people basically , they also move much slower but are even more lethal. That Last of Us monster index brought to you by me.

You're not really wrong, they were indeed seen as one of the most secular and liberal societies in the region. After Suharto's autocratic rule was over in the late 90s, the country underwent a period of reformations and a largely successful transition to a functioning democracy with free and fair elections, more political and civil liberties, proliferation of independent media, decentralisation, and a largely tolerant, religiously-moderate society. All of that made it a leading (even if flawed) democracy in the region and Muslim world. Well, except Aceh, which is ruled under Sharia law, but that was an exception. However, the process started stagnating at some point, and now it appears it has been in decline for several years, with hardliner religious groups gaining more influence, and government utilising that to cement their own power. So in other words, another failure to separate religion and state.

What is that supposed to mean? On an unrelated note, he has quite an interesting career. He was ready to give up on football and started studying when he got a call from our Head of Youth Development. He didn't sign a professional contract until he was already 25 years old. Bit of a late bloomer, but he was very important to us so far this season, and last season too.

Was just kidding!

You're not going to accuse that poor boy of his lack of good taste, I hope.

She's my favourite female football player. Ruthless on the pitch, but also a really good build-up play. And she seems like a really nice person off the pitch too. Of course I have to mention that her brother Tim plays for Fortuna.

Reminds me of this.

Sad developments in Indonesia. The western media seems to be focusing on the laws making pre-marital sex and cohabitation illegal, and while it's definitely bad, the other new laws are way, way worse than that. Insulting the president, state institutions and government officials is now a crime which carries a prison sentence of up to 4 years. Protests and demonstrations without permit are now criminalised, participants can be imprisoned for up to 6 months. The new treason law carries a death penalty. Spreading any ideology that runs counter to the national ideology (Pancasila) is now banned and punishable by up to 10 years in prison. Blasphemy laws are expanded, and apostasy can now be charged as a criminal offense, carrying a prison sentence of up to 4 years. Reporting and spreading news that "can be suspected" to be misinformation or cause public unrest is punishable by up to 6 years in prison. At the same time though, the new laws will include more lenient sentences for those charged with corruption. You can't make this shit up.

Another exciting announcement.
