so how do you encourage everyone except white suprematists to get out more? What does that raising awareness campaign look like? Tbh getting out more is probably more necessary for such people than anyone else.

In an article about the merits of different social networks, it seems perfectly reasonable to me to mention and even criticise Twitter, and Twitter's owner, Elon Musk. You may disagree with it, but it's not unreasonable nor &quot

I took it as a swipe at Elon Musk and Twitter rather than free speech.

A happy, long term relationship can be an end in and of itself, otherwise couples with fertility problems presumably should just break up.

But namedtuple makes classes, it does not instantiate them. If you're in a situation where your bottle neck is defining classes rather than instantiating them, then I would hope you can appreciate that this is an edge case.

I suspect nobody cares because it's not a problem. That bit of code you're moaning about will only be called once per namedtuple. It's unlikely to be a problem.

It did occur to me that gay marriage might not be legal in Israel. But I was aware that Muslims and Jews aren’t allowed to get married there.

I think ultimately pink washing Israeli war crimes and colonisation with appeals to open lesbianism on the streets of Tel Aviv is a dead end. The point is in the end that human rights are inalienable and not transactional. You don't

I think it's great you're engaging in casual anglophobia and xenophobia, it just perfectly demonstrates how xenophobic Germany is, it's such a nice example. I have a funny story, my grandfather actually was German and fought

I really think you're right. Actually I do truly believe everyone suffers under the prevailing German attitude towards social contact and human interaction. It's just worse for immigrants, because we've even more outsiders

Actually your post is really useful, thanks. It's a perfect display of how so many Germans respond to criticism of their country by immigrants who live there. Reader: never let anyone tell you Germans aren't nationalistic. They

Yeah this is extremely common, surnames are probably the single most important thing in Germany when it comes to finding quality housing. Actually the housing market in Germany is really bad, somehow seemingly even worse than the British o

Aren't you just proving my point, though? Your post is objectively xenophobic. > Continental Europeans have very bad experiences with British tourists Funnily enough I've never been anywhere where our trashy British tourists g

It's not the case in Germany, to get into a management role you generally need to be German. Also, the housing market is completely broken with all the good stock in the hands of white German boomers on old rental contracts paying a 1

I am a British immigrant in Germany and I can vouch for how impossible it is to integrate into these northern European societies, if the rest are anything like Germany. I tick all the boxes of what German boomers would want in a "Good

That is different. For example “Lidls” is actually “Lidl’s”, which is not plural and grammatically correct. Same as saying “I’m going to the doctor’s”.

I agree it makes no sense. Nothing about being transgender looks remotely enjoyable or trendy. Hard to imagine someone would just go along with it for fun. The only thing I am skeptical of is those who are looking to increasingly subdivid

Hmm I am not transgender and I am quite sure of it so it's not everyone as you claim.

We all know what the "traditional lifestyles" means and that the OP is clearly anti-LGBT but we have to pretend that we don't know what it means and ask them to explain. >What is gained by society by forcing a lesbian into

Yes, I know a guy who is of old Indian royal family stock (of course they have no special rights any more), and he will just show pictures of expensive bags and so on to his tailor and get them made for orders of magnitude less than retail.

I don't think this is controversial but HGVs tend to have even more stringent traffic laws, ones that cars don't have to follow. In my country HGVs have lower speed limits than cars, for example. I don't think this is contr

Anti-cyclist sentiment is so strong because they don't want to ride on sidewalks? That makes no sense at all, something tells me you hate cyclists and will continue to hate cyclists wherever they are.

Different modes of transport have different capabilities, dangers, and responsibilities. Horses, bikes, cars, HGVs, pedestrians—all different, actually there's no real shame in ignoring car laws when you're not driving a car. Yo
