    Yeah, no, it doesn’t make sense:

    Der Mann (the man - male article)

    Die Frau (the woman - female article)

    Der Junge (the boy - male article)

    Das Mädchen (the girl - neutral article)

    Like, come on gendered articles, you had one job.














  • Well, another datapoint on “how cruel are Germans towards their children” is the Struwwelpeter story collection. Like, children get their thumbs cut off for sucking it or starving for not eating their soup etc.

    So, I lean towards “if”. And, honestly, I remember understanding it like that as child 😅


  • Well, you overestimate the tech literacy of people by quite a large margin.

    My sister reads an article about evil tech corpos every 6 months or so and then asks, how she ensures more privacy.

    Then I tell her “OK, let’s install Firefox and ad-blocking as a first step, that is easy, does not affect your usage and does quite a lot already” and she’s immediately like “Ok, please stop your nerd talk, that is too much”.

    She needs some one-click solution for stuff like that, otherwise she’s lost to what corpos deem best for “her” (i.e. their bottom line).



  • Feels a bit different to me though. I mean, while doped in sports it is still you who brings in the results. You can also take, idk, focus-enhancing drugs in esports to have the advantage (I wouldn’t, but I’ve never been very competitive and don’t get it in general). But cheating, like e.g. using aimbots, it detaches the results somehow from you. The equivalent, to me, in sports would be to have somebody go through all the hustle to get competitive and then pretend to be you, so you can get the cup and the pictures afterwards. Just strange ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
