Yes there is:

Only men like nothing.

Explanation:

"Only XYZ like ABC" is equivalent to: "Everyone who likes ABC is also an XYZ."

Since everybody likes at least something, there is no one who likes nothing. The statement: "Everyone who likes nothing is also a man" is true because the "Everyone who likes nothing" part results in 0 people. And it's true to say that everyone in a group of 0 people is a man. It's also true that everyone in a group of 0 people is not a man.

But other than vacuous truths, no sentence stating "Only man like XYZ" is true.

not having enough therapists or having too many people who seek them

Neither actually. The health insurances are allowed to decide amongst themselves how many therapists are covered. And this number hasn't been adjusted (much) since 1999 even though demand has skyrocketed since then.

Approximately 50% of therapists in Germany cannot accept public health insurance. Yet there is enough demand from the 10% of Germans with private health insurance ( + those who pay for therapy thenselves) to keep those therapists afloat.

In other words:

12.5% of Germans have been diagnosed with depression => 9.5 million people officially diagnosed which is certainly an underreported figure.

There are ~24,000 therapists in Germany.

As a result, there are 396 people with depression per therapist - meaning if every therapist worked 40 hours per week with 1 hour per client you'd have to wait 10 weeks between sessions.

Now add all other mental illnesses which would require therapy and you'd get an even larger number.

Sure, not everyone diagnosed with depression requires therapy. But this doesn't excuse the obvious lack of paid therapists - which is openly acknowledged by the public health insurances but they are not legally required to change anything.

I think that was the main ingredient (some ring at least) but there was definitely an -ol in it as well because I read the back.

A ban on something doesn't blame the consumer? It simply stops one aspect of unnecessary plastic pollution which has a tiny positive effect.

Plastic bottles in Germany have a 25 cent deposit that you can earn back by returning them when they are empty. This has significantly reduced plastic pollution for plastic bottles which is a tiny but positive effect.

Certain colored plastics for plastic bottles are prohibited too because they are not recyclable. A tiny but positive step.

Once you have hundreds of such steps you have a significant positive leap. The government should ban disposable plastics altogether ideally now but every single ban is putting us a step closer to a world free from plastic.

A Mathematical Model for the Determination of Total Area Under Glucose Tolerance and Other Metabolic Curves (1994) [PDF]

What are you talking about? A biologist (re-)invented calculus!

Every file can have zero days targeting a specific application though. Sure, PDF is a bit worse than other formats in that regard but I'd say the likelihood of a zero day PDF is approximately the same as a zero day MP4 for your video player.

Alcohol - meaning Ethanol - is also used in medicine due its antimicrobial properties though. I believe the medical-grade mouthwash I used after my wisdom teeth were removed contained some ethanol, though I'm unsure because I didn't memorize the ingredients.

I can't believe you out of all people would write this comment. Not only should you have known better, you didn't even bother to think twice before posting something this abhorrent. You should be deeply ashamed of yourself for daring to post such a disgusting comment commentating on the action of someone's cybercriminal behavior. I hope you will learn from this but not only do I not believe you will change, you will likely even double down on your wrongdoing. Still, I urge you to just read what you wrote, just once, before posting in order to mitigate this grave injustice.

Which is to say:

THE MEME GOES "WAOW," NOT "WHOW"!!!!!!!!!

In addition to what other commenters have said, the extent of gender affirming care should solely be based on:

• the decision of a medical ethics body and
• peer-reviewed and repeated studies

By the way, surgeries removing enlarged breast tissue for men with Gynecomastia is gender affirming care. In the article, it says that in the US 25% of patients were 19 or younger at the time of surgery. Should this too be banned for minors? If not, how exactly is it different from a trans teen desiring surgery?

In my country (Germany)

Crossbows are legal to own and sell for adults. They are allowed to be shot at certified locations (i.e. shooting ranges) but not necessarily on your own property. You need a license for shooting them on your own property if the energy of the projectile exceeds 7.5 Joules. In comparison, a 9mm pistol shoots projectiles with 300-500 Joules.

Basically (for crossbows):

• 0 - 0.08 Joules: toy, freely available
• 0.08 - 0.5 Joules: toy, only available for children over 14
• 0.5 - 7.5 Joules: weapon, license free for adults, shooting on your own property is allowed
• 7.5 Joules: weapon, shooting on your own property is only permitted with a license

For comparison: a 9mm pistol shoots with 300-500 Joules.

Why would you want a crossbow though? Keep in mind that you are not allowed to use weapons for self-defense, even if you don't need a license for them. Furthermore, I'm not sure whether you are allowed to publicly carry the crossbow at all.

Guess what German conservative media is currently parroting (again):

Mostly agreed except for grub. Systemd-boot ftw

I mean it used to be called gummiboot. What more do you want?

Don't you mean 👆🤓?

Eh, I'd argue for birth control to be effective the knowledge how to use it and have safe sex is pretty important - which relies on education (though in a sex-ed and not tertiary education kind of way).

Increasing education spending directly results in a lower birth rate, much more so than "just" providing free birth control. Ideally both should be provided though.

Isn't poverty strongly correlated to higher birth rates? Education is very much known to cause lower birth rates and poorer areas lack (access to) education.

Inspired, yes. But uber is still not a German word.

Imagine if I founded a company called "Tougt" and claimed this is an English word. Not inspired by, is. Who needs the letter 'h' anyways?

Removing the accent marks makes it such that the word isn't German anymore, just German-inspired. It would have to be written "Ueber" instead.

You know, like a Mr. Böing founding the company Boeing.

Wait, how do they know which ballot was cast by whom?

Don't you have secret ballots?

Right, über is a word. "uber" is very much not. The points aren't decoration or a pronunciation guide, they signify a different letter.

It's like saying that Spanish people call their country Espana.

To be honest, that's what I meant with Humble. I knew they got legitimate keys from the developers and didn't think of the correct noun.

But since the studio was shut down by 2K, they are most likely the one's footing the bill if a chargeback occurs. For indie games or small studios, I never use these sites for that reason.

Plus I'm still in the process of setting up my pirated games infrastructure. I will first need to figure out how to properly store Windows-only games such that the WINE prefix is in the game folder and automatically applied as well as how to make "cloud" saves work.
