Uhm, it makes sense both ways: Flip it and it says "fag", keep it as it is and you have a drawing of a rabbit being railed from behind. I'm not the only one seeing this, am I?

Aber deswegen die ganze Analyse der Klassen abzulehnen und stattdessen dem Sozialdarwinismus das Wort zu reden der in seiner Extremform zu noch viel größerem Leid geführt hat als die autoritären sozialistischen Experimente, finde ich nur so mittelmäßig schlüssig.

Ich denke der springende Punkt ist, dass Du (ich auch) von einer rein rationalen Seite auf das Problem schaust: Die Antwort auf Ungleichheit ist für Dich und mich logischerweise Klassenkampf. Das ist für viele Menschen aber eine echt unattraktive Antwort, weil das bedeutet, dass WIR aktiv werden müssen ("Uns aus dem Elend zu erlösen können wir nur selber tun!" 😉).

Das Angebot der AfD ist deswegen so verlockend, weil es einen (schwächeren!) Sündenbock bietet, der schon für die Menschen beseitigt wird, wenn man nur die AfD machen lässt.

Und ich meine das ganze auch gar nicht abwertend gegenüber denjenigen, die sich von diesem Angebot locken lassen: Wenn man tagtäglich strugglet, hat man wirklich keinen Kopf und keine Energie mehr, sich darüber Gedanken zu machen, was man selber für den Klassenkampf tun kann und es ist attraktiv, eine einfache Antwort auf Probleme zu haben, die einem selber nichts abverlangt.

Medieval realistic role playing

"Realistic" is used very favorably in this case... I get what you mean: Henry's story feels plausible enough to suck you in and I don't mean this as a critique. But it is in no way realistic: Henry starts as a smiths son and is pretty useless at everything but he becomes a proficient fighter in the story and as far as I remember pretty influential. This is extremely unrealistic for his timeline because social mobility in the late middle ages was very much on existent.

Uhm, I actually did that just recently. Earlier this year my current employer decided to close my department until end of year so I had to start looking for a new job but without a very strict deadline. I applied for a job but didn't think I'd be invited for an interview. I DID get invited, went to the interview with the attitude "Ah, let's see, I don't think, they'll hire me, but it is a fun learning experience". They didn't hire me but gave me the feedback that I was a good candidate overall but it showed that I wasn't prepared at all and that I should apply later this year because they would open more positions. They did open more positions, I applied again, did a Hospitation, prepared properly and actually got the job in the end.

Wow thanks for the write-up, that sounds wonderful!

Since my kids don't speak English it's kinda difficult to find media on the high seas that they understand, but maybe I have to dig a little deeper to find a good source.

Would you mind elaborating on this topic?

My three-year-old loves Bluey and I don't know where she first came into contact with the character: We don't have Disney+ and never watched a single episode but for some reason when she went to the clothes store with my wife she recognized a shirt with Bluey and since then got some new favorite shirts, socks and a plushy... I think it's a funny phenomenon but unfortunately I haven't gotten around to educate myself about Bluey.

Um? I assume your comment was made tongue-in-cheek but seriously: Being pregnant (and raising the kid afterwards) is by far the most expensive contraceptive.

There are many very good series with more serious tone or complex story telling in this thread so I try to suggest two completely different series:

New Amsterdam is, on the first glance, a pretty standard hospital show but has a lot of social commentary and a diverse cast of very lovable characters with overarching storylines and lots of character development. Often it's kinda cliché but it manages to leave me bawling my eyes out almost every episode.

Virgin River is a romantic story about the inhabitants of a small town in Northern California. It's also often pretty cliché but has a nice rhythm of "exposing the characters to a problem" -> "drama!" -> "cliffhanger" - > "resolution".

Yeah it's not bad for young and healthy people who can stay inside, be relatively inactive, drink enough, etc....

As always climate change hits the weak first: Old people, people with certain disabilities, homeless people, people who have to work physically during the heat are at higher risk to suffer from the heat.

Huh? Folders are called notebooks in Joplin and when creating a notebook you can select a parent notebook. It was pretty straightforward for me. Maybe this has been added after you tried out Joplin.

Okay, I get it. So do you propose that we simply don't trust any company, or do you especially mistrust DDG? If you specifically mistrust DDG, do you have a good alternative?

If you mistrust companies in general: I get where you're coming from, but I also think it's highly impractical to distrust basically everyone on the Internet because you have to use their services at some point.

I wouldn't use DDG's Android app, though, because it doesn't block Microsoft trackers. Now we can debate whether this means the app doesn't block MS trackers on MS websites or if it allows tracking on its own website (which would contradict the claim I cited above).

I'm not sure if I correctly get your point: DDG provides search results based on Bing and has advertisment contracts with MS but DDG in itself doesn't track you:

From DDGs FAQ:

We partner with many different information sources to deliver DuckDuckGo Search (e.g., Microsoft for ads, Apple for maps, etc.). When you view search results (including ads), your searches cannot be tied back to you, either by us or our partners. How this works technically is we do not store any personal identifiers (e.g., IP address) with your search terms, and we also proxy all requests to partners through us.
