  • She's also incredibly funny (and sometimes savage) which also gets lost in many adaptations, since it's in her commentary and not necessarily in the dialog.

    She was not a woman of many words; for, unlike people in general, she proportioned them to the number of her ideas.

  • Do you make your bed in the morning? Why/why not?

    Jump

  • Yes. But here in Germany you usually just have one pillow and one duvet (I'm not sure if that is the correct term) per person. To make the bed, you fold over the duvet, so the bed can air out. Maybe fluff up the pillow, depending on the type of pillow. So it only takes a few seconds to do that.

  • Why do people hate on cosmetic surgeries so much?

    Jump

  • How does that rhyme with increasingly many men also being obsessed by their looks and more and more having surgery done?

    I don't see how that contradicts what I said? I talked about the pressure many people feel, not just women.

    But most of the hatred I see online comes up when it's a woman. Do you have any examples of men receiving the kind of attention and hatred that Kate Beckinsale or Ariana Grande recently received for their changed looks? Maybe I'm just in my bubble and missed them.

  • I know this is not what people want to hear, but at least one aspect of it is misogyny.

    There was this recent clip of Kate Beckinsale going around and people went batshit over how she had ruined her beautiful looks. The thing is, she definitely had things done before, just go look up pictures of her when she started her career. She was beautiful even then but in a more "normal" way. And no one was outraged or concerned for her then. But now she dares to not be as beautiful as she was before. People have a right to see her be hot!

    Don't get me wrong, I wish there wasn't such a pressure for people to look perfect and have work done. But I think a huge part of the outrage is actually men feeling that they have a right to decide how a woman should look.

  • How would a feminine Doppelbock be named?

    Jump

  • So... The name Doppelbock comes from Bockbier which is derived from the town Einbeck where it originated. The town's name likely comes from a dialect version of "ein Bach" (a brook).

    The best feminine name would therefore be Doppel-

    <feminine noun meaning something like brook>

    . But alas there are very few feminine German words relating to bodies of water. Best I can come up with is Doppelquelle (Quelle means spring), but that sounds like sparkling water.

  • Fast jedes zweite Auto bleibt täglich ungenutzt

    Jump

  • Immer mehr Wege werden zu Fuß zurückgelegt, Autos stehen immer häufiger ungenutzt herum.[... ]Demnach wird fast die Hälfte der Autos an einem durchschnittlichen Tag nicht bewegt. Im Jahr 2008 sei nur ein Drittel der Autos am Tag nicht genutzt worden.

    Der Hauptgrund für ein Drittel zu Hälfte wird aber wahrscheinlich eher sein, dass es einfach mehr Autos pro Person gibt oder? Ich weiß, dass es bei uns 2008 noch Lücken zwischen den parkenden Autos gab, jetzt muss man durch den ganzen Ort auf der Gegenspur.

  • What's your non negotiable morning ritual that you do no matter what?

    Jump

  • 5-10 minutes of internal groaning and self-pity for having to get up are a must. Everything else is vile torture before I have been up for at least an hour.

  • Ideas for computer challenges for a 7yo

    Jump

  • I'm not exactly young anymore and things have sure changed a lot since I learned my way around a computer. But here are the things I remember being fun for me back then:

    • Drawing around in paint (you already have that covered)

    • Creating presentations. Maybe like: Make a presentation about your favourite topic. This might involve collecting pictures either from the internet or getting them from a camera / phone on the laptop.

    • Playing some games (in my case pinball, but that's definitely not very up to date). You can learn quite a bit about clicking through menus etc from playing games.

    Something else that would be important to learn early is created folders and keeping some sort of system with your files. I struggle to come up with a fun way to teach that though. Maybe someone else has a good idea?

  • Wie Frauen sich nachts in der Öffentlichkeit schützen

    Jump

  • Ich als Frau liebe Nachtspaziergänge und es macht mich so unendlich traurig, dass ich nicht einfach spontan alleine loslaufen kann, ohne die ganze Zeit innerlich angespannt zu sein. Zur Zeit ist es wieder schlimmer, weil mir vor ein paar Wochen ein Auto hinterher gefahren ist (wollten mich nur aus dem Auto raus anbellen, super witzige Aktion, war es absolut wert mit Todesangst einzujagen).

    Ich frage mich immer, wie frei sich das wohl anfühlt.

  • Hm, the colours of the houses looked extremely unnatural to me. That's why I went and searched for other images. But I guess colour perception is not really the same for everyone, so it's very subjective. Different displays and settings don't help either.

    I would have given the benefit of the doubt on the wires because I've been in several German villages in the last years that got rid of roof-to-roof wires and instead put them in the ground. But based on the size of the trees my picture with the wires seems more recent.

  • I know that I grew up in a very privileged bubble and I get that not everyone is in a position to financially support their children through university (the inadequate support through Bafög, mentioned in other comments here, in Germany is a whole other topic).

    My point is more that almost every family I know, even the less privileged ones, did what they could to help their children. Even if there is not much you can give that's the complete opposite of cutting them off as soon as they finish school.

  • Toxische Männlichkeit - woher kommt der Hass auf Frauen?

    Jump

  • Ich bin in den 90ern geboren und musste mit der Zeit erkennen, dass die Mehrheit meiner Altersgenossen mindestens einmal in ihrem Leben von ihren Eltern geschlagen wurden, einige regelmäßig. Diese Erkenntnis schockiert mich bis heute, weil sowas in meiner Familie unvorstellbar war und ich mit der absoluten Gewissheit aufgewachsen bin, dass das normal ist.
