Seems like typical human behavior: This now cheaper per unit? I’ll get more units.

Disagree away! I love science. If I’m wrong, I deserve to be told and I want to read more about it. Learning is fun after all!
While this scientist agrees with you, he does admit at the end that we really don’t know whether this statement is definitely true. There are some studies coming out which will hopefully shed light on the subject. Not sending this to dispute you, just an FYI of possible interest.
This is what your Scientist Character says right before you cut to a montage of people buying a new miracle diet drug. And then you cut to the zombie hordes.
I know, right? Mädchen, iirc, comes from a gender-neutral ancestor word for child, but it really is kind of icky that it’s stuck around for so long. It’s always weirded me out too.
I quite agree with your idea that it is so rampant because of our rigid linguistic system. I haven’t seen a ton of transphobia first hand,weirdly/luckily enough, but just the other day a colleague was waxing outraged that Trudeau was all in for the third gender, how dare he, this will cause all sorts of rampant sexual…
Quite interesting, but probably won’t become really mainstream here. People are already throwing hissy fits over things like “Lehrer/Innen” or making a distinction between “trans” and “cis” because apparently trying to be more inclusive when it comes to gender means being a crazy feminazi who is trying to destroy the…
Good question, and I’m not 100% sure about this. The 3rd gender will be referred to as “divers” or “inter” (so “diverse” or “in-between”), and it was an intersex person who went to court over this, so it seems to mostly be for people who are biologically neither strictly male nor female.
German is a grammatically gendered language. So yes, they have feminine/masculine designations for words.
nah. I’m pretty sure USA didn’t go to war for that, but good try man
I was unaware that the flag had hearts on it...
The Franks were German. They moved to the Netherlands when the situation got unbearable in Germany. But Anne was definitely born in Germany.
Marxism =/= Stalinism
My middle school in Germany was built in a cross shape in the 70s. Stricter fire safety regulations meant that they had to add more fire exits/external stairs for the upper floors in the 90s. Guess where and in which angle they chose to add them to the building? The school went through several remodelings since then,…
Yeah, I can’t fathom why anyone would be against unionizing to bargain fair compensation for what I’d argue is freelance reportage. Knowledgeable representation of some sort, whether through an agency or labor association, is critical if you want to work as a photographer without getting taken advantage of — doubly so…
I’m white, but I’m not THAT white.
I’m starting to get this feeling that Trump does not like black people.
