  • I guess I spent 9,99 Euro on 1 month Game Pass to realize that it's too bad on my GTX 970 to be fun, glad there are other games I can play for the money. Still I need to see for myself, cry a bit and life will go on.

  • His first love broke his heart, married someone else and then later on she wanted too much salt?

  • Definitely worth reading. Thank you for the link!

  • 90.000 seems also rather low. I guess they definitely only banned the worst ones.

  • Dalits have been attacked and killed by the oppressor uppercastes for

    no reason than because the criminals wanted to. I find it important to use words carefully, because there is never a reason beyond hate and wanting to feel superior. To mention what the attackers pretend was the reason is blaming what happened on the victims and accepting the attackers made up defense for their actions. If repeated often enough it will stick with people's minds as an actual reason.

  • She got her revenge it seems. :D

  • The thiefs new about your rich text format I guess.

  • It did not happen because most people stayed at home, were wearing a mask, followed social distancing rules, were working from home, kept their children at home, washed their hands and got the vaccine when it was available. Again, it did not happen because we stopped it from happening and now you go "it wasn't that bad" ignoring the billions of people who stopped it from getting that bad.

    It's like "seatbelts are against my freedom" and when everyone wears one to go "look people don't die in car crashs that proofs seatbelts are unnecessary and only made up by the news" when the reason for them not dying is that they wear a seatbelt.

  • Please not. I am an autist and I am vaccinated three times, waiting for the new vaccines to arrive for my fourth. Being stubborn and unwilling to learn and being autistic are two very different things. One of them is a choice the other isn't.

  • If you run around with Covid making others sick, you do not just weigh a risk for yourself, you are also inflicting it onto others. If too many do that, society breaks because hospitals get overwhelmed, firefighters and law enforcement are sick, the grocery store has to close and the government stops working. Children are unattended and whatever else.

    If you do not wear a set belt your broken body takes up a hospital bed too, or are you going to accept the weight of your decision and abstain from health care because you inflicted that harm on yourself? Be welcome to not wear a seatbelt then, but make sure to have a big sticker on your car that says: "My head injury was my choice, so do not help."

  • It was overwhelming hospitals, which means people with other problems were dying, because ambulances were not getting to them, surgeries had to be postponed. If all your firefighters are sick, more people will die in fires and accidents. If a high number of people in a society get sick that society is breaking. No law enforcement, no health care, no working government, no grocery store.

    You are one of the people that complain when action is taken and works that that action wasn't needed because it wasn't that bad and when no action is taken how bad the government is. And Covid wasn't at all the worst it could have been. There will be a next virus in the future and people like you will not have learned anything from this one and drive us into an even worse crisis, just by being stubborn.

  • I mean she did not avoid harm and no one forced her to, so everything is ok. She also wasn't forced to get vaccinated, she could say no just fine which means there was no authoritarian state controlling her. Decisions come with consequences. The consequence for her was a certain death in a short timeframe.

    What is wrong is to make decisions and expect others to bare the consequences, like getting a rare transplant and risking it because you could get Covid and die from it because for the transplant to work your immune system needs to be held back for some time, while someone who would have done everything possible to make this work can't get a transplant.

    Also there needs to be a level of trust between a doctor and a patient, so if she gets told to take specific medication or live her life in a specific way after the surgery, she will accept the advice. She was willing to take the transplant, but did not trust the doctors with the vaccine, what would she not have trusted them with?

    She had her trade off and I hope she died thinking it was worth it.

  • I have no idea. It will probably depend on the severity of the allergy. Maybe not touching the dog is enough. I know people who have a cat allergy and have cats and cat allergies are usually more severe than the ones against dogs. They seem to have found a way, since the dog(s) are there for a while now. It is estimated that more than 1000 schools in Germany currently have dogs in some form or the other in pedagogic/educational use.

    Some schools only use the dogs in one specific school room, some have dogs that only visit the school once in a while and some have them there all the time. Prior to active participation in the dog-assisted lessons, parents were informed in detail and in writing, including a declaration of consent and a questionnaire about the children's allergies and fears.

  • The school around the corner here (Germany) has a "school dog". Its job is to help teach kids how to approach dogs, how to stay safe in the presence of dogs, read their body language, stay away from dogs that run around alone, always ask the owner first etc., kids can get a "dog petter licence" by succeding in a test.

    The dog's second job is to be in the class rooms once a week for every class and just go from child to child and help them to calm down.

    Kids stop throwing things to the ground because the dog might eat it and get sick. Kids tend to be not so loud because they learn that dogs can hear way better than humans and loud noise can make them feel uncomfortable and even hurt them. The kids learn to make sure the dog's bowl has always fresh water and when the dog decides to go to its resting place to respect that and not to disturb it. Teachers say it has a good influence on the relationship between teachers and school children and between the children and teachers faces light up too when they can pet a dog after a stressful hour in class. It calms nervous kids down and helps concentration in the class room and who wants to fight if the dog could get nervous and not understands what's going on?

    The older kids are now even involved in helping with training a puppy to also become a school dog.

    The idea of a police dog in schools is sending shivers down my spine.

    If a government treats every child as a potential criminal first before thinking of protecting it, then something is really wrong.

  • When I am old enough to live in a nursing home I want definitely one that has an ice cream parlour.

  • In that one picture she looks so happy and proud. All the best to her!

  • This was a retired police officer committing a femizide on his "estranged" wife and the man dining with her and then he killed some others. It could have been as much an ice-cream parlour if she had craved for ice-cream instead of a "biker bar". It was not random "gunfire" it was a double execution with collateral damage.

  • I highly recommend the Netflix documentary about the first one. Very entertaining with a dosage of head shaking and sadness.

  • Want to see a sculpture made of wood sitting in a forest contemplating nature?

    Car Brain: Let's drive as close to it as possible and ruin it for everyone.

  • Ah, the Americans, who don't understand that nuclear power in the US needs massive subsidies (23 billions) to keep from going bankrupt. That the old power plants are falling apart and prone to drought and that new ones will be too late when built and just come right to replace an old one and so won't add to the grid.

    While the $6 billion in the Infrastructure law is helpful to stem a potential flood of closures, it is still not enough, King said. In their modeling, the Rhodium Group pairs the $6 billion with the proposed existing nuclear production tax credit that’s part of the Build Back Better Act, which the Joint Committee on Taxation score estimates to be $23 billion.

    Imagine that money being spent on research into better energy storage, while renewable energy sources are built, quickly, reliably and without subsidies, AND they are local sources of power that make money for local communities and give them independence from big energy producers - oh wait, America can't have that much freedom.
