I don’t get it. Care to explain?

I guess the tree branch needs to start somewhere, but why leave out amphibians?

You better double check. I just found out that only my comments with few upvotes are still that way, the others have been restored.
A script replacing them with random words might do the trick.

- Comment on It must confuse English learners to hear phrases like, "I'm home", instead of "I am at home." We don't say I'm school, or I'm post office. 2 months ago:
Small correction:
“Ich bin bei den Großeltern” → “I’m at my grandparents (or grandparents’)”
“I’m at my grandparents’ place” only exist as “I’m at my grandparents‘ house” → “Ich bin im Haus meiner Großeltern”

Do you have a Kimovil link for this incredible phone?

I like the idea of a register a lot.
Do you also talk about it though? I was in Denmark on business for a couple of weeks and I don’t recall there being a discussion about it.

In my country I’m only aware of statistics published by a newspaper (source may be statista, some agency or a job portal). I find the values weird however as I earn way above the stated value for my general description. I’m in a bit of a niche however what might work to my benefit. The statistics still feel like ‘expectation management’ to me though.

Not denying that it’s legal and beneficial to discuss that. It’s unfortunately not common (yet?).

Pretty disarming for unsuspecting foreigners.
That would indeed be a WTF moment for me.

In which countries is it custom to openly discuss salary? In Germany and most if not all countries I’ve been to professionally it is not the norm. This is of course bad for transparency/employees and good for employers.

This is how to drive other people, especially coworkers, insane. That’s all that is.

That’s a good question! Xenophobia has an evolutionary basis and exists in other species as well (e.g. chimpanzees). Encountering another group of humans (or chimps) might be dangerous. Being cautious is beneficial for survival.
However, when you add racism and are actively hostile to another group - is it still a Phobia? And if not or if IT is not fear-motivated, what do you call it?

According to Wikipedia it was an actual fear that homosexuality is contagious. That belief is probably alive and well amongst idiots. I always thought it to more akin to hydrophobia instead of arachnophobia - as in fat reacting to water. Now I think that is to take as fat is neither attacking water nor is it insane.
