I'm not from the US and while, thanks to the internet, I probably know more about Trump's scandals and crimes than is necessary or reasonable for anyone only indirectly affected by his actions, I'm sure I've only scratched the surface. Especially since, as you said, you really have to put in an effort to keep track of all of them.

So I'm just observing from afar and constantly amazed by every new detail I stumble upon.

Trump initially avoided any comment about the Bonwit Teller artwork. But John Baron, a spokesperson with the Trump Organization, contacted the New York Daily News to discuss the situation. Baron informed the Daily News that “the merit of the stones was not great enough to justify the effort to save them.” Baron stated that the removal process could have set back Trump Tower’s construction timeline by two weeks. Baron also told the New York Times that he had no idea what happened to the ornate grillwork.
Long after Baron’s initial contact, the New York Daily News learned that John Baron was actually Donald Trump, in disguise.

WTF?

"I haven't eaten in 4 hours and 41 minutes and now long for a sandwich with cheese, tomatoes and lettuce" also gets more info across than saying "I'm hungry", yet people keep using the latter.

Just carry one around with you and whenever something important happens or you are about to do something risky, pull it out, press it with your finger and loudly say "Save".

Edit: Bonus points for carrying a huge cardboard mouse pointer to click with.

Edit 2: I really should read all the replies before starting to type.

Laufen doch am Ende sowieso alle aufs gleiche raus:

"Super Rezept. Hab das Gemüse durch Hackfleisch ersetzt und statt Kartoffeln Nudeln dazu serviert. Dem GöGa hats geschmeckt."

"Schlechtestes Rezept aller Zeiten. Hab mich genau ans Rezept gehalten. Hatte gerade keine Eier da, also hab ich stattdessen Milch genommen. Der Kuchen ist ganz matschig geworden, obwohl ich ihn drei Stunden im Backofen gelassen hab. Wie kann man so ein schlechtes Rezept posten?"

ADAC kritisiert Auto-Pläne der FDP, Wirtschaftsverband kritisiert Haushaltspläne der FDP,...

Als ob die das juckt. Die machen weiter Pläne für ihren Klüngel und verkaufen es als die Rettung der deutschen Wirtschaft.

Fun fact: German ICEs (high-speed trains) are not allowed to enter Switzerland if they are delayed too much so they don't disrupt the Swiss schedule. This year more than 10% were not allowed to continue.

Also, storing a few high-res images takes a lot less space than storing hours/days/weeks/months of high-res videos.

Schule soll nicht auf das Berufsleben vorbereiten!

Mir ist auch nicht wirklich klar, auf welches Berufsleben man vorbereitet werden soll. Selbstständige Softwareentwicklerin? Angestellter Landschaftsgärtner? Beamter beim Landratsamt? Chefärztin? Busfahrerin? Theoretischer Astrophysiker? Balletttänzer? Die Anforderungen sind doch vollkommen unterschiedlich.

und damit sogar für Informatik wichtig.

Ich weiß, niemand kann in allem gut sein, aber man wünsche ich mir bei manchen Mitinformatikern, sie wären in Deutsch und Englisch besser gewesen, wenn ich ihre Dokumentation lese.

I think the reason might be racism.

A is also the way the inventor of the term spelled it, the way it is often spelled in science and the correct Latin form.

I'm not saying O is wrong, that's what happens in language, just adding the other points.

In my opinion the reason it's supposedly insulting is rooted in misogyny. A woman is the property of her male relatives. When someone sleeps with her without the permission of these relatives, he uses their property without permission, demonstrating his power over them.

I do realise that many people use this insult because it's just something you say. But I think it's worth reflecting about what it actually is you are saying.
