Sehr solide Meinung(-en). Fand ich angenehm zu lesen - toll, solche Ansichten zu sehen.

Sehr gut. Solche Anzeigen müssen echt einfach nicht sein.

Ich sehe es deutlich positiver als die meisten hier. Ich persönlich lehne einige Absätze ab (z. B. zu den Zurückweisungen an den deutschen Grenzen, einer stärkeren Bundeswehr), sehe aber den Gesamtton des Papiers überraschend positiv. Mal sehen, was daraus wird.

More on the barren-side/minimalism side of the spectrum. However, I also live in a student dorm and move quite a lot, so that also contributes.

Lieber später als nie

Hi doggo!!

Finde ich, ist sehr gut aufgeschlüsselt. Ich finde das Urteil sehr wichtig und richtig und habe mich darüber gefreut. Vive la France!

Ich bin ebenso unfassbar enttäuscht. Ich habe überlegt, für sie zu stimmen - bin sehr froh, das nicht gemacht zu haben. Die sind ja schneller umgefallen, als ich bis drei zählen kann.

Soweit ich weiß, muss die Fluggesellschaft alternative Beförderungsmöglichkeiten organisieren (EU-Verordnung). Die Eltern des schwerkranken Kindes werden also einen Weg finden, dieses zu besuchen.

Mein Bingo für Januar 2025 ist sowieso schon längst überfällig

Am I the only one who thought of Morrowind when reading Mudcrab?

Hmm, I think your position is well-founded. I agree - shooting people usually created division and doesn’t solve the underlying problem. However, that doesn’t mean that it has to be like that in every case.

I personally propose to wait a few years before judging. It is very against the spirit of the Internet, but you raise a valid point - there is very good ground to suspect it will have negative consequences.

I disagree with you here. Many people already fought and pushed for the peaceful option in the last decades. Also just for clarification: this isn’t a struggle for wealth or glory - this is a fight about literal human life’s. And I will be honest with you, if one person who has committed terrible actions dies, but as a result many more people can live (see the Bluecross reversal), it is difficult for me to say that it is a cognitive dissonance to fight for the peaceful option and to accept that violence may be necessary here.

Rise and shine, and sign the petition!

Gg! Or something, I dunno.

It is pretty normal to not feel a lot. I actually felt weighed down by the diagnosis. Different people have different experiences, your feeling is absolutely valid.

I personally choose to not disclose mg diagnosis unless it brings me benefits. Basically I disclose it e.g. when it comes to accommodations (e.g. apartment or in university), and I’ve told a few close friends, but generally I prefer keeping it private.

In the end I think it is important for you to figure out what your diagnosis means for you: is it a part of you, but other parts are independent from it, or does the diagnosis define you? It comes a bit down to the person vs identity first approach.

Also don’t forget the diagnosis doesn’t change you as a person. I’d heavily recommend continuing your life as before, without implementing ant large changes for now. Give it time to settle.

I would like to add another viewpoint to the discussion. I am German, and for me it would heavily depend what you think while you wear it. Basically if I would ask you “what do you think about us Germans in Ghana”, the reply of the person would determine if them wearing Lederhosen is inappropriate or not. I absolutely agree with the fact that recognition of the mistreatment is the key point here; however, you often cannot recognize it from the outside. Obviously if someone wears a big MAGA sticker on their back, or a “Black Lives Matter” pin, it is easy to comprehend; but as very often in life, most situations aren’t as easy as that. Long story short, we often cannot recognize from the outside if something is cultural appropriation or not; we would need to ask the person.

Machen wir jetzt einen Länder-Imperialismus 2.0 oder so? Wird dieses Mal schon sicherlich gut gehen…

Ach Mann, habe mich vorgestern für den Newsletter von ICAN (international committee for the abolition of nuclear weapons) angemeldet. Irgendwie denke ich, es ist gute Zeit dafür.

I would urge people to be careful how much we think disabled people (might) suffer. My mom is colorblind (she sees the whole world in shades of white or black), and her vision strength is 5% or lower. She is definitely disabled and receives a pension for not being able to work. Still, she managed to build up some form of existence: she managed to start an education and became a masseuse, and she gave birth to me and my brother. If my grandma would’ve known that my mom will not be able to live on her own, she maybe wouldn’t have proceeded with the pregnancy. Then I wouldn’t be here either.

My conclusion: what do you define by disability? If it is a chronic disease which means your child will be in pain their whole life, it is very different than having a child who isn’t able to “function” normally, but isn’t inherently in pain. Over my mom I met a lot of other disabled people, and most of them have built up an existence and lead a life. My mom wouldn’t agree that she is forced to suffer her whole life.

No one is forced to bear out a child. You are not morally responsible to bear out a child, in my opinion. But we shouldn’t assume we know how this person will grow and develop during their lives.

Den vorletzten Paragraphen mit der FDP finde ich ein bisschen wild

Es fällt mir gerade durch Deinen Kommentar auf, dass Frauen ja auch mit der neuen Rolle struggeln - ich hatte bisher nur die männliche Perspektive im Blick. Danke!
