French museums are really fun in that regard: the audio guide often stated: due to the great work of french archaeologist, we now have these nice obelisks and objects here in France!

There was no regard to HOW these things were acquired at all, no provenience work at all.

Sorry but that sounds so American. Are you USAmerican?

Because nearly every other first world country in the world doesn’t have at will, but rather worker rights to have a certain notice period.

Hey, currently it’s not our police that is collecting people, putting them in camps and having them vanish from there.

I really feel like Bart here right now.

Interesting, thanks for your perspective!

I would say if you only say Doch! as answer in German, it’s more kind of a stubborn, planting your feet in the ground, “come at me” response instead of ignoring.

Begriff + s + assoziativität + s + kombinatorik

Word/term + s + associativity + s + combinatoric

So it is the combinatoric of associativity between words.

The “s” in there are just for easier speaking, which itself has a compoundword name: Fugen-s, so literally translated: Joint-s

Doch, from German and its main use is expresseing a positive statement in opposition to a prior negative one. For pronunciation, use Wiktionary.

So if you say: “you can’t win the game by cheating” and I say “Doch!” I express “yes I can!”. But neatly in one single word with one syllable, which is why it’s often used by children as single counter to something their parents say.

It’s exactly what they described in English. It’s that nonsense just expressed in German and written together because you are allowed to simply combine multiple words into one compound word in German. There is no “real meaning” to it. Or not yet, feel free to start using it and give it any meaning you want. If it catches on, it has a meaning from then on.

Check their other posts lately. It’s somebody on a mission, in the original religious sense of the word, here on the fediverse to bring their version of God to us heathens and nonbelievers. But at least they are not aggressive from what I have seen till now.

Yeah for sure an important concept to think about. But you can ask that completely without the misogyny. Or the religion. I mean what can you trust is one of the biggest metaphysical question in philosophy for a reason.

No, I think what they meant is: “why do they believe their father is indeed their biological father. They only have the word of their mother for that”

Which is so fucked up, because first it implies it’s oh so important to know your biological father and second it specifically puts mothers in a worse position. Because spoiler alert: I can’t remember my birth, so I also can’t know for sure if my parents are indeed my biological parents. If we go the route of “they lied to you”, well why should I trust them then that my mother is indeed my mother? So simply a nice mix of misogyny.

I don’t know anyone who wrote holy books or is a saint, so I cannot know their truthworthiness. I do however know the persons who raised me. Are they my biological parents? From certain traits I’m pretty sure yes. But even if they wouldn’t be, it wouldn’t change that they raised me and that is far more important to me than who gave me their genes.

No, you bring it back to where you bought it and they need to take care of it. And it is not for every electronic, but only the big stuff (oven, washing machine). Which makes it a hassle mostly, so people don’t do it.

Smaller electronics you can bring to the communal waste collector, they should do the further sorting and recycling.

So no extra bins, I’m afraid.

• Hollow Knight & Silksong if you want hard platformers/metroidvania
• Return of the Obra Dinn if you want a great detective game
• Disco Elysium if you want the maybe greatest game. Genrewise its closest to an CRPG, but without fights, “just” talking
• Tyranny if you want a great CRPG
• Subnautica if you want a great survival open world game
• Minecraft is still also a great game
• Hades if you want a great Roguelite

With those games you would already have something like 400 hours covered.

Yeah, after writing it I felt it was wrong. What I meant is: most people are not hurt by what is being pushed in the mass media as source of the problem. If that outside factor goes away, they will focus more on what is happening around them. That the status quo in our current world is hurting a lot of people is absolutely correct, sadly.

Why would it be in the Outlast series? It’s a completely different developer. SOMA is completely stand alone as far as I am aware. I didn’t feel the need to play anything to understand the game. I certainly was invested in the story and world and would have liked to see more of it however.

Nothing prevents it totally. It could 100% be just as bad as Facebook. But only those servers owned by those propaganda pushers. It is harder to take over the whole and push your agenda to all users, when they can simply block your instance and let you stew in your hate.

Best example for that: the tankies, which are mostly ignored or ridiculed outside their own safe spaces.

And while I do think there will always be nationalistic fuckwards, I think the big number now and in the past are only possible due to massive propaganda. If that is not possible, people steer more to “normal” stuff. Because most people are not majorally negatively affected by the status quo.

Yeah, somehow this story travelled via school yards. I also didn’t know who that guy even was, but a big brother of a friend told us that story.

Not for all. But some of the big unions have them, so a lot of people get them, but not the majority of workers.

Just to add to your comment: calories in itself were a pretty good measurement for metabolic energy, because it is the energy needed to heat 1 gram of water by 1 °C, so something easily measurable to people at the time (roughly 100 years ago). The Joule was already proposed, but is less intuitive.

Partially we are. They found Neanderthal DNA in modern humans, meaning our ancestors found them nice enough…
