I never thought it would bother me, until I actually sat in a car where everything was dependent on software the first time.

At first I thought I was just getting old. But it dawned on me that relying on software to fucking roll down the windows or starting the car doesn't feel too good.

(It was also an extreme jump in technology for me because the last car I drove before that was an old Corsa around the year ~2005.)

I am not sure if laziness really exists. But there are countless reasons why someone can have this issue. Additional ones are: a physical lack of energy (nutrition deficit, sleep deficit, etc.), decision or option paralysis, problems handling emotions, trauma, .....

This could also be an issue of this:

The difference between empathy and sympathy

In my experience some people struggle with empathy a lot more than they realise. And the "solutions" they offer are just ways for them to try and get out of an uncomfortable conversation. There are better and more honest ways to do that.

What? We loved watching the movie as kids and for me it was a beautiful fairytale with some action. I never thought it was scary or anything.

Might be because in Germany fables tend to be on the more drastic side. I still think it's a great kids movie, on a similar level as The Last Unicorn or The Labyrinth for example.

Yeah I think it's more likely that the TV studio will not allow a woman without a perfect bikini line on set.

Even when international powers would force the place into two countries the fighting will never stop. Because both don't have a country and want one and both ground their claim on religion. The religions are incompatible. Hamas consider Jews as the enemy of Allah quite literally.

Jews were pushed out of countries and killed and therefore promised land. So land was simply taken from a torn place that couldn't protect itself. Palestinians are also pushed out of countries and killed and want their land back. The Brits just left them with this conflict because they couldn't handle it. And now probably no one will be able to stop Israel anymore because they were given the better hand in terms of weapons.

Asking either side to stop won't work. Ban religion instead. They could both live there.

That's the Belgian flag. But don't worry, they are so rare and tiny, that it doesn't make a difference. We eat more Pommes in Germany anyway!

Jep, mein Beispiel war auch aus dem Leben gegriffen. Mein Vater ist "altes Geld" reich und hat dazu noch viel verdient. Aber Kinder (vor allem die anderer Eltern) waren immer zu teuer. Und wahrscheinlich auch noch dreckig.

Nicht im Bild: der Vater der von seiner Frau Rechtfertigungen fordert warum schon wieder so viel Geld für Essen ausgegeben wurde und ob es wirklich nötig ist dass die Kinder "immer alle bei uns vor der Tür stehen".

When I was a kid and McDonald's started to became a thing here I was scared that Ronald McDonald would be at the restaurant. When I was invited to a birthday party and the parents wanted to take us to McDonald's I refused to go inside and the dad had to wait with me on the parking lot until my parents picked me up. I also figured that he could potentially be at Burger King, so I never went there either.

You are glad she won't get any kind of compensation for what she has to endure?

Blöd wenn die Nachbarn lauschen damit sie hören wann du im Treppenhaus bist. ( ╥ω╥ )
