So what's your favourite Beatles song then?

How does that rhyme with increasingly many men also being obsessed by their looks and more and more having surgery done?

I don't see how that contradicts what I said? I talked about the pressure many people feel, not just women.

But most of the hatred I see online comes up when it's a woman. Do you have any examples of men receiving the kind of attention and hatred that Kate Beckinsale or Ariana Grande recently received for their changed looks? Maybe I'm just in my bubble and missed them.

I know this is not what people want to hear, but at least one aspect of it is misogyny.

There was this recent clip of Kate Beckinsale going around and people went batshit over how she had ruined her beautiful looks. The thing is, she definitely had things done before, just go look up pictures of her when she started her career. She was beautiful even then but in a more "normal" way. And no one was outraged or concerned for her then. But now she dares to not be as beautiful as she was before. People have a right to see her be hot!

Don't get me wrong, I wish there wasn't such a pressure for people to look perfect and have work done. But I think a huge part of the outrage is actually men feeling that they have a right to decide how a woman should look.

So... The name Doppelbock comes from Bockbier which is derived from the town Einbeck where it originated. The town's name likely comes from a dialect version of "ein Bach" (a brook).

The best feminine name would therefore be Doppel-. But alas there are very few feminine German words relating to bodies of water. Best I can come up with is Doppelquelle (Quelle means spring), but that sounds like sparkling water.

Immer mehr Wege werden zu Fuß zurückgelegt, Autos stehen immer häufiger ungenutzt herum.
[... ]
Demnach wird fast die Hälfte der Autos an einem durchschnittlichen Tag nicht bewegt. Im Jahr 2008 sei nur ein Drittel der Autos am Tag nicht genutzt worden.

Der Hauptgrund für ein Drittel zu Hälfte wird aber wahrscheinlich eher sein, dass es einfach mehr Autos pro Person gibt oder? Ich weiß, dass es bei uns 2008 noch Lücken zwischen den parkenden Autos gab, jetzt muss man durch den ganzen Ort auf der Gegenspur.

Me, reading this on my 86 month old phone and feeling like the left's greatest hero for dealing such a mighty blow to capitalism.

I'm not exactly young anymore and things have sure changed a lot since I learned my way around a computer. But here are the things I remember being fun for me back then:

  • Drawing around in paint (you already have that covered)

  • Creating presentations. Maybe like: Make a presentation about your favourite topic. This might involve collecting pictures either from the internet or getting them from a camera / phone on the laptop.

  • Playing some games (in my case pinball, but that's definitely not very up to date). You can learn quite a bit about clicking through menus etc from playing games.

Something else that would be important to learn early is created folders and keeping some sort of system with your files. I struggle to come up with a fun way to teach that though. Maybe someone else has a good idea?

Ich als Frau liebe Nachtspaziergänge und es macht mich so unendlich traurig, dass ich nicht einfach spontan alleine loslaufen kann, ohne die ganze Zeit innerlich angespannt zu sein. Zur Zeit ist es wieder schlimmer, weil mir vor ein paar Wochen ein Auto hinterher gefahren ist (wollten mich nur aus dem Auto raus anbellen, super witzige Aktion, war es absolut wert mit Todesangst einzujagen).

Ich frage mich immer, wie frei sich das wohl anfühlt.

Wir haben mit gutem Grund hohe Hürden und ob die AfD die überschreitet, kann ich nicht mit absoluter Sicherheit sagen. Aber man sollte es dringend mal überprüfen und nicht einfach nur Däumchen drehen. Es ist ein Unding, dass ein erstes Gutachten dazu durch Spenden finanziert werden musste, weil einfach nichts passiert.

Wenn rauskommt, dass es nicht für ein Verbot reicht, dann akzeptiere ich das. Aber die Frage stellen ist lange überfällig.

 

Baden-Württembergs Innenminister Thomas Strobl (CDU) hat den Vorstoß seines Parteikollegen Arnold verteidigt. "Für den Schmutz, den man macht, ist man selber verantwortlich", so Strobl.

-- Stobl, putzt bestimmt ebenso wie Arnold jeden Tag sorgfältig sein Büro und alle Klos, die er benutzt hat.
