No. Hard No. The progressive Germany we (I live here) have today was fought AGAINST those that continued to shape Germany even after the war. A strong shift was the 68 movement that specifically questioned why people who worked in administrative positions under Hitler continued to work in sometimes the same positions in West Germany. And also it was not because the Germans were the one calling the shots. A lot of the democratic reforms were only possible in the first place because those Germans that championed them were backed by the guns of the allied forces.

And honestly most problems we currently have are exactly because of remnants from Nazi times that weren’t sufficiently destroyed.

And so currently we have exactly the same problem so many others have: conservatives who don’t conserve anything but rather are regressive and want back to a “good old days” that never existed

Quatsch, du hast vollkommen Recht, alles gut. ich erlaubte mir nur einen Jux.

Also wenn dein Vater dein Vetter ist, ist der Stammbaum aber auch etwas rund gewachsen. =D

Oh I like the pumpkin making faces as well!

… It took your comment for me to reread the other one and yes, that does make more sense.

Exactly what I mean. Merkin isn’t exactly a concept that laypeople will know, so using a more descriptive term is better for a wider audience.

Too French for the British

I mean, the USA have the current problems because we Europeans already once ditched our crazies to get rid of them. I’m not so sure a second dose will work out better. And also the normal people there are getting hurt even more.

Ouch, not being able to taste is a harsh punishment

Ich habe das eher als Preis in Menschenleben und -rechten verstanden als in Euro.

Maybe because they thought their readers wouldn’t know what a merkin is but can probably imagine what a pubic wig is?

And it is not an invented term when it is literally the description of what something is.

~50 % of USAmericans read at middle school level and you think CNN doesn’t use the word merkin because they want to hype a Kardashian?

Nope, the red flag is easy to recognise.

Thank you for making me read the article about pubic wigs. .

But now I can ask you: why do you think that? Nowhere in the article does it say or imply that she invented it. They said it’s a publicity stunt.

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.

Auch wenn das sicherlich ärgerlich ist, sieh es nicht als Scheitern an. Du hast 40 kg abnehmen können, das ist eine verdammt gute Leistung! Das die Kurve nicht konstant linear nach unten geht, ist normal. Solange sie langfristig nicht wieder nach oben geht, ist es trotzdem ein Erfolg!

Not every salt is easily soluble in water. Salt in a chemical sense is a compound made up of multiple ions. Marble and pretty much all rocks/minerals are also salts in a chemical sense and you don’t see our mountains being washed away by one rainfall. So saying they use a thorium salt is not in itself a problem, depending on which salt they use.

I couldn’t find any definitive answer, but from what I found on Wikipedia is that they mostly use Thorium dioxide at the moment, which is practically insoluble in water and alkaline, by slightly soluble in acids.

So no, salts don’t all dissolve. It completely depends on the specific salt and its properties.

But yeah, nuclear industry in general is pretty hands off with regard to accountability and taking care of the long time effects.

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.
