I know this is a lot more difficult than it sounds because attention is a finite resource, but giving each of them the attention they need. This does not have to be the same amount for each child but none of them should feel like the other one is getting attention when they need it.

Most adults I know that don't get along with their siblings felt like they were neglected compared to the other sibling(s). Whether that's objectively true is hard to tell but it's worth checking in with your children from time to time.

On the cheek? A socialist fraternal kiss is full on the mouth.

Like how "algorithm" is just the westernized spelling of of al-Khwarizmi or "guy" comes from Guy Fawkes.

And Kaiser and Tsar both come from Julius Caesar.

Counterpoint: If success is what we base this on, then E. L. James (50 shades of grey) is a very good author.

She's also incredibly funny (and sometimes savage) which also gets lost in many adaptations, since it's in her commentary and not necessarily in the dialog.

She was not a woman of many words; for, unlike people in general, she proportioned them to the number of her ideas.

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.

 

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.
