  • This is sadly a very common misconception, mostly due to the Nazi propaganda itself. The pre-war designs where mostly retrofitted civilian machines, the best example are the first planes they build. This was due to the restrictions to rearmament. After the war begun, the meth upped shitheads mostly threw material against every problem they faced (more money = less problems = more good). The result were monstrosities that broke down regularly. Another good example for the propaganda of "ze effizint Jerman Enjeniring" is the Autobahn. There was an Autobahn before. Hitler added some small parts and made sure he and his goons are photographed doing it. Boom, Hitler build the Autobahn.

  • Sure, but my point was rather the disappearance of the language. Second language proficiency is high in Germany, but the attitudes regarding the "preservation" of German are insane. For example, there is a specific category for English words imported into German called Anglicisms. Funnily enough words like "cool" are not considered part of this group purely because they are used for such a long time that they are considered German enough (seems like language changes over time? Funny how this works!). Every teenager knows the moment when some boomer criticises them for using non German words.

  • Well, when Fr*nch will endure due to the almost religious fervour of their speakers, than German must too. Both countries origin story and who is considered part of the nation is founded on who speaks the language.

  • You have to make a distinction between bands that have a (more or less) coherent sound and style, and blatant repetition. Anyway, if anyone tries to tell me that Volbeat isn't just rereleasing the same song for the whole time they existed, I have to assume that one of us must be demented.

  • So there is a type of spray used on boats to get rid of spiders. As you can imagine, having an in closed space near the water is prime real estate for spiders. The spray works by making it impossible for spiders to make webs around it. You just use it on all your window frames. Spiders won't pass those lines because they sense that they can"t make webs there. I use the one from Yachticon, don't know if you can order it everywhere, but it works wonders.

  • Talking to strangers. I'm always the person my introverted friends push to the front if the group has to say something. Ohh, and phone calls! I'm the designated "Can you call them please?" person.

  • You should read Parahumans:Worm by Wildbow. The best superhero story I have ever read, and it's completely free! :)

    The variety and use cases for all the different powers are especially interesting.

  • For your lungs: yes. But you don't get as addicted to it in my experience.

  • Never. Start. Smoking. I know it's really obvious advice, but after you smoke cigarettes for the first time, it's so fucking easy to become a smoker and saying no is infinitely harder. Nicotine is a removed.

  • KIZ ist Kulturgut xD

    Zwischen den anspruchsvolleren Songs machen die auch immer wieder mal Sauf- und Partysongs. Perfekt balanciert, wie es alles sein sollte.

  • I think the point of contention is that the user you debate is under the (right) assumption that when a child cries in public, this is just a small snapshot out of all the time the parents took them to any public place. A child crying is not a bug, it's an inherent feature. They sometimes just do that, they don't even know themselves, so it's not the parents fault that their mini-human isn't behaving like a fucking Gucci bag. Everything volvoxvsmarla said is true, children learn through trial an error and yes, you need to sometimes take the brunt of this process, I'm sorry little one. When children don't learn how to behave in (for example) supermarkets because you banned them, then you get teenagers who didn't learn to behave. You can't pass the problem on forever. I'm a teacher and it really fucking shows when kids never learned how to exist in a public place.

    BTW., this is not an excuse for parents who evidently don't give a fuck or even worse, motivate their children to be brats so they entertain themselves. Scum of the earth. But it's perfectly possible for parents to try their hardest and still fail sometimes.

  • The parents can get punished by having an autistic child...

  • OK also Punkt 1: Entweder es sind Substantive und Verben (also Wortarten) oder Subjekte und Prädikate (Satzglieder). Beides zu mischen macht hier keinen Sinn. Punkt 2: Subjekte (wie auch Substantive) sind rot, Prädikate (wie auch Verben) sind grün. Ich akzeptiert derzeit keine Fragen, danke

  • The left generally doesn't like to talk much in these concrete terms [...] <"Die Linke", literally "The Left" is a German party which did exactly that. During the last election cycle they focused on all these points, specifically on the housing crisis and released an app where you can compare your rent to see if it's against the law. After years of not making the 5% mark, Germany's threshold to join the parliament, they got in! They "only" got 9%, but it's a start.
