12·17 hours agoThe country’s drug abuse expert does not believe this constitutes condoning drug use. Common sense also suggests this isn’t condoning drug use, given that it’s literally what they teach you in anti-drug programs: it seems fun, but has negative consequences that outweigh the benefits, and you don’t find out until later.
Even if this were condoning drug use, what do you think a finance minister could do to repeal that law within a six month term?

13·18 hours agoDoes clickbait have to be misleading? I have always considered anything phrased so as to compel you to read further by omitting the crux of the article to be clickbait, so this would absolutely fall under that. An article with a headline like “never do this while tanning!” that’s about the dangers of citric acid on your skin in the sunlight is a useful, true article with a clickbait title, as another example.
Bizarrely, it was the store brand from Rewe, if you’re in Germany
Yeah, most people have to occasionally hurt others, though I’m not sure how they feel about it.
I believe that some people cannot coexist with others without being hurt (eg. imprisoned), but I don’t relish the thought, especially not in the context of war. If I could choose, I’d institute a gift-based Potlach system (but I have no real enforcement mechanism without violence, so…).
To be clear, I’m not being judgmental about this, I don’t think anyone should be judged for their thoughts, I just don’t have those thoughts.
I had a smoked salmon substitute like that. The textural resemblance was unsettling
That doesn’t identify a brand, making it less effective communication.

Hey, this is also not a personal attack. I don’t know if I’m the outlier here or not, but I figured I’d mention it and others can weigh in.
I don’t get the urge to hurt people, not that I don’t hurt people, but it’s unintentional or uncomfortable for me. I get the urge to prove people wrong, but I only feel dread when I need to hurt people (not harm them, but I’m a teacher, so I have to have tough conversations with students sometimes).
If you get the urge to hurt people, vote this comment down, if you don’t, vote it up.

This is ideal bedside manner.
It’s also a lot of calories burnt. Like, I would definitely need to double up on what I currently eat in meals at least if I were doing that all day and I already have an active, physically demanding job.

1·3 days agoI mean, to be fair, it’s not German literature, I’m teaching German as a second language. I’m a big proponent of dual native/nonnative language teaching, because native speakers (almost) always know what’s right and nonnative speakers (almost) always know why. I think of it like having a math teacher who’s a prodigy vs one who struggled with math- both are useful to have for different reasons.
My German’s not perfect, but it’s very good (C2) and it’s good enough to teach new speakers, I just let them know that I also make mistakes.

4·4 days agoI don’t know enough mma people to say, honestly. I know jiu jitsu bros, and they tend to be extreme in either direction, but more commonly very cool with women who also do jiu jitsu.
My sister did a fuck ton of martial arts and some combat sports (no MMA), and is pretty thick skinned about sexism. According to her, the same is true for most martial artists and wrestlers, but boxers are more of an even mix.
Edit: maybe it scales with head trauma?
