In a few thousand years…
“We finally deciphered the text on it. It’s a monument to love, to undying loyalty and affection! How amazing! Here, it reads: ‘Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down’”

It should be a very short glance though…
Die haben da Klopapier? Bei mir an der Schule war das so ab 9:15 Uhr immer leer. Und diese schrecklichen Stoffrollen-Handtücher einmal durchgelaufen.
If you’re anywhere in North America
I am not and every argument in this thread seems to assume I am and argues with some rules in the US or Canada. This was exactly my point. The situation seems to be wildly different than my experience.
I don’t think you live where I live. Because where I live there is just no room to build many more houses without demolishing other houses first. There is a lot of discussion about moving away from single-family houses and increasing the density of living space. I don’t see how this would be solved by making it easier to build.
ETA: Just to be clear, I absolutely am not advocating for deporting immigrants.
In my experience mathematicians don’t really concern themselves with numbers between 2 and infinity.
I love that this guy decided that GitHub is the place to share his socio-economic essay. Next to a guy who used it for his sourdough guides my favourite use of GitHub yet.
This is a few years old but still a good visualisation:

In Germany marital rape is punished in the same way as any other rape since 1997 (which to me always seemed horrifically late). But one of the guys who voted against it is his party’s candidate for the post of Chancellor in the election next year.
Maybe we are not as far beyond these misogynistic worldviews as we like to believe.
We have that in German as well. But I think that one is accelerated by the fact that keyboards suck at predicting compound words and often it’s just easier to type them as two separate words. I have been guilty of that, even though I would never write them with a space by hand or typing on a physical keyboard.
Except for Scheuermilch (scouring cream, literally: scouring milk). That one we can keep. Probably because it has the same nutritional values as cow milk or something… The argument never made any sense whatsoever.
In my experience what happens is you look at each other confusedly for a moment, wondering who is in the wrong restroom. Then you realise there are no urinals so it’s probably the women’s restroom. Then the man leaves a bit embarrassed. Source: Happened to me at least twice (once the signs were really unclear).
Keine diskiminierende Absicht =/= keine Diskriminierung
Wenn das mal bei den Leuten ankommen würde, wären wir bei vielen Problemen einen Schritt weiter. Wenn die Annahmen, die man in ein System reinsteckt, nicht komplett ohne Bias sind, kommt am Ende eben oft Diskriminierung raus. Egal ob es jetzt um Trainingsdaten für eine KI oder Regeln für Namen beim Amt geht.
As a developer I can freely admit that without the operations people the software I develop would not run anywhere but on my laptop.
I know as much about hardware as a cook knows about his stove and the plates the food is served on – more than the average person but waaaay less than the people producing and maintaining them.
Und die neugierige Nachbarin geht es auch nichts an, ob ich gerade Besuch aus Stuttgart oder Kaiserslautern habe.
Das hat gerade meine verdrängten traumatischen Erinnerungen aus späten Teenagerzeiten wieder an die Oberfläche sprudeln lassen. Wegen einem Firmenwagen mit ortsfremdem Kennzeichen von meiner Mutter wurde ich dauernd von irgendjemandem gefragt, wer denn da so häufig bei uns zu Besuch ist? Ob ich denn womöglich einen Freund habe? 😉😏
Zugegebenermaßen hätte da ein generischeres Kennzeichen wahrscheinlich auch nicht geholfen, diese Leute kennen dann eh jedes einzelne Auto in der Nachbarschaft.
8 hours in theory. Let’s not forget it has to cross a large part of Germany. I’m sure Deutsche Bahn will work its magic and suddenly it’s 16 hours with four unplanned stops and five hours of uncertainty as to whether you will ever arrive at all.
From the line “Never gonna run around and desert you” we can gather that when a relationship came to an end, the person ending the relationship would run around frantically and burn all possessions of their former partner, thus turning their property into a desert, or “deserting” them.
