I use my smartphone to keep my book open when reading at a table. It does a pretty good job there.

Don’t limit yourself to technical uses.

I kinda feel like this is unfair to Krusty…

These films are meant to be a fantasy escape from real life. They are not meant to be realistic or to show any real struggle. They are supposed to show you a beautiful dream world including the big and real love and an otherwise carefree life.

If you can afford it, yes you can do this. You are allowed to live and work anywhere in the EU.

But if you also need a job to feed you, its more difficult if you do not speak the local language and have not learned something useful.

But from the residency law you absolutely can pack your bag and move to Germany tomorrow as an EU citizen.

Helpful. Im glad you had something meaningful to contribute to the discussion.

Maybe it helps with understanding when you think of examples of female rape that isn’t a stranger beating up a woman in a dark alley.

Like Harvey Weinstein. Countless women have come forward about rape and sexual violence from him. I doubt he always used physical violence on these women. But he was this all powerful person in the filmindustry who could and would destroy lives and careers with a wave of his hand if you’d deny him.

Very often rape and sexual violence comes out of a power dynamic where the victim (no matter the gender) feels they don’t have a choice. Physical violence does not have to be involved.

Bear in mind that rape is not only defined by the law. And this question was not about the law, but about how rape can happen without physical superiority.

If I would know somebody personally who defines rape only that way, I would actually make an effort to warn all women and girls in proximity about them. Maybe you need to reexamine your own sexual encounters, weather they always been completely consensual…

But before Google there was nothing to search. You had to know exactly where you wanted to go and one type left you nowhere. I remember when we got dial up around the mid 90’s my dad told me I need the exact web adress, or it’s not working. Wild times.

Who hurt you?

A team for what? Causing the apocalypse?

the brain is pretty sturdy as long as the initial injury doesn’t kill you.

As a nurse, I’m confused at that sentiment. How on earth did you get there?

If the brain is damaged, it rarely gets much better after that. Unless you have just one mild concussion, brain injuries tend to more likely getting worse over time and rarely better.

Your brain is not just a broken bone that heals back together after a few weeks.

It’s pride month, so I’m watching LGBTQ+ stuff.

I watched a very interesting documentary ElDorado: Everything the Nazis Hate about the gay and trans community in 1920’s/1930’s Berlin and what happened when the Nazis took power.

And for some more lighthearted fun, Glamorous about a gender non-conforming queer person making their way in a glamorous MakeUp company. I super enjoyed watching Miss Benny as the main character and would really like to see more of her.

FAA Certified drone pilot in the USA here. That’s wild. In the US it’s illegal to shoot down an aircraft of any sort

That’s even wilder to me, since you have several states where you are allowed to shoot anyone trespassing on your property, but a drone, who can record and video and infringe on your privacy is illegal?!

That’s like prime capitalism. Human lives are worthless, but don’t damage my property. What?

Maybe I wasn’t clear enough in my comment. Of course I don’t mean “The Jewish people” as a complete entity. I mean, Germany is unconditionally and it seems without critical thinking supporting Israel because their guilt towards Jewish people clouds their judgment.

Because of what we did, we can not show any critic or judgment towards Israel, because that’s “anti-semitic”. Which is a stance, that in my opinion actually harms any effort against anti-semitism.

It’s not about the details of care, but the general information on who is transgender and who was providing or was involved in the care.

With the purpose to “cause malicious harm” as the article says. Which means, they will harass and try to scare involved parties into hiding, leaving or stopping to provide care.

This Conservative activist already published the information to discredit the children’s hospital, create a scandal on how they are harming children with the goal that the hospital will stop providing care in fear of bad press.

Their goal is to scare every trans person back deep into the closet (or to leave) and to scare all possible care out of existence, even when legal.

The basic motive is HATE. Plain and simple. Hate of that what is different and the need to control the people around them to live by their beliefs and moral standards.

Will he loose his licence for this? Because he should. Anyone leaking patient data on purpose should never have access again.

Yes! SAY HIS NAME!

We need to name and shame these people all the time.

Israel won’t stop until every non-Israeli person in Gaza is eliminated. The Nazis called this “ethnische Säuberung” (ethnic cleansing).

It’s like abused children grow up to abuse their children the same way. The evil cycle of viciousness and violence.

These days I am ashamed of Germany again. Our guilt towards the Jewish people blinds us so much, that we even support them doing the same to others as we did to them.

Fuck. I wish Germany would do that. But we can’t even get a speed limit, even though everyone wants it save for the automobil industry.

Why do memes always have to be funny?
